What IS most interesting that a week or so ago, Henrique told us that over 80% were new users!

That's amazing news, and brilliant for the community.

What an amazing time for #atari fans! Brand new games being released on cartridge for both the 2600 & 7800. Here is Tiger Heli running on our original Atari 7800 hardware hooked up to a CRT. 👍 #RETROGAMING #atari7800 #consolegaming #arcade

a video game with a score of 50000 on it ALT: a video game with a score of 50000 on it

So on @theretroasylum.bsky.social the high score challenge for this week is Snow Bros.

I thought it was a Temu version of Bubble Bobble, but it stands up very well and (dare I say) some gameplay aspects are less frustrating than Taito's game?

Loving it on the @evercade.co.uk

A game that I used to really enjoy was Sega’s Monaco GP (my local newsagent had the sit down version) and sadly the game can’t be emulated. Thankfully there is a great remake, so I thought I’d introduce it to my son and he absolutely loves it! #sega #arcade #retrogaming
