Gold Master Series Brings Classic Games Including Tetris Forever to Physical Form including an Exclusive Handheld

For fans of classic gaming, there’s exciting news on the horizon. Digital Eclipse has announced that its Gold Master Series will be receiving physical editions, allowing collectors to own high-quality versions of these carefully curated retro game releases due for release on the 25th of February 2025 from Atari's website, Limited Run Games, and select retailers internationally.

The Gold Master Series is a line of games dedicated to preserving and celebrating gaming history. Each release is more than just a game—it’s a deep dive into the title’s development, legacy, and impact on the industry. Featuring behind-the-scenes content, developer insights, and historical context, these releases offer a unique look at some of these influential games.

For those looking to grab a copy, multiple editions will be available. The Standard Edition includes the game, a collector’s booklet, and digital extras, priced at $39.99. The Deluxe Edition, priced at $69.99, comes with exclusive packaging, an art book, and a behind-the-scenes documentary. Finally, the Ultimate Collector’s Edition, at $129.99, features all Deluxe Edition content plus a numbered certificate, premium display case, and limited-edition physical memorabilia.

Now, with physical editions confirmed, fans will be able to add these historical collections to their shelves. While details on the packaging and additional content are still forthcoming, expectations are high for premium releases that reflect the same level of care Digital Eclipse has shown in past projects.

This move is particularly exciting for preservationists and collectors who value owning tangible copies of gaming history. In an era where digital distribution dominates, physical releases provide a sense of permanence that many retro gamers appreciate.

With the Gold Master Series already showcasing some of gaming’s greatest titles, these physical editions are shaping up to be must-have additions for fans of video game history.
