Nolan Bushnell, the founder of iconic video game company Atari, has teamed up with NFT platform MakersPlace to launch 'The Arcade OG Series,' a collection of NFT collectibles powered by Ethereum.
Unlike many other NFT collections currently on the market, 'The Arcade OG Series' consists of digital collectibles equipped with a unique augmented reality experience. For example, customers can purchase a 3D rendering of an Atari 'Pong' that can be viewed in any real-world environment via an AR-powered mobile app.
This exciting new NFT project will present five unique collectible items -- each of which will be a different iconic arcade cabinet. The cabinets will vary in exclusivity and price ranging from common NFTs available at fixed prices to limited-edition versions of 'Computer Space,' which will be auctioned off to the highest bidder.
