A total of five items are planned for sale. Starting October 12, some of them will be available at a fixed price.

\n\n

Other items will be sold at auction. For example, the exclusive red Pong arcade machine, commemorating Bushnell’s visit to the Two Bit Circus arcade-entertainment venue in Los Angeles, is available in a single unit.

\n\n

According to the creators, each collectible item can be viewed in augmented reality using a smartphone or tablet camera.

\n\n

Bushnell plans to continue exploring the NFT space in future projects.

\n\n

“I hope that we can wow you every six months with new offerings,” — заявил businessman.

\n\n

The Arcade OG series is the result of a collaboration between Bushnell and 3D artist Zay Ortiz, who worked on Hollywood blockbusters “Iron Man 2” and “Tron: Legacy.”

\n\n

In November 2020 Atari conducted a token sale, but 36 hours after trading began the token price fell by 70%.

\n\n

In August 2021, Vine co-founder announced a blockchain console with NFT instead of cartridges.
