Weekend PC Game Deals is where the hottest gaming deals from all over the internet are gathered into one place every week for your consumption. So kick back, relax, and hold on to your wallets.

The Humble Store brought a bundle for retro game enjoyers this week with the Atari Recharged Retro Revival Bundle.

It carries Asteroids: Recharged, Centipede: Recharged, and Black Widow: Recharged for $5. Paying $10 adds on Breakout, Yars, Gravitar, and Missile Command Recharged versions to your selection. Next, Caverns of Mars, Bezerk, and Quantum joins in on the bundle’s third tier for $15, before the $20 tier finishes off things with the Atari 50: The Anniversary Celebration entry.

The newly introduced bundle has almost three weeks on its timer before Humble removes it from the store.



Epic Games Store also brought another double giveaway, this time offering Invincible Presents: Atom Eve and Kardboard Kings, with the former one being a repeat offering.

Invincible Presents: Atom is an RPG visual novel mashup set in the same universe as the popular animated series. Following the adventures of superhero Atom Eve, the game has a branching narrative involving crime fighting and her day-to-day life. Meanwhile, Kardboard Kings is a trading card shop sim that has you buying, trading, and selling cards or simply keeping them in your collection to thrive in the business.

The latest giveaways will last until October 24, which is when Moving Out will also arrive as the latest freebie.
