mau5 x @atari.com :D launches at our Denver mau5hop pop up nov 7!

I want this game so badly.
Does it include a Pokey chiptune by Deadmau5?

I mean “somehow Palpatine returned” so why not this?

Atari announces the Intellivision Sprint ?
45 built-in games, HDMI, wireless controllers and overlays for each game. $149.99 and no cartridge port?

"USB-A Can also be used to play additional games (sold separately)."

In this economy? Huh? Weird choices here.

Ace.

Camp Pendleton has a shooting range and sometimes they shoot missiles there. Don’t get distracted by this non-event.

The internet is over.

Oh yes it was Retro Hour day!

Chris Crawford sent me this hat in the mail and it be the best day of my retro computing life.

How about Bad Bunny AND Taylor Swift then.

We all gotta do something to take the edge off.

Took two of my adult kids to Dave and Busters yesterday and dropped $150 for about an hour of enjoyment. Most of the games were 25% to 50% more than they were a year ago. I think they have finally end-state capitalized themselves into the enshittification stage.

I thought our military was the envy of the world. What have I missed?

Yes

I wonder if it’s time for Atari /Digital Eclipse/Nightdive to swoop in and buy some franchises at fire sale prices for remastering

After reading his July 29th, 2025 blog entitled "End Of An Era", I was inspired to create this essay about one of my heroes: Chris Crawford.

I have the "Arcade Archives" version and I enjoy trying to post my high score into the list with the masters in Japan (with little success.) I keep watching the arcade 1-up Namco cabinet to see if they will add Bosconian, because that would sell it to me outright!

Do you know why Bosconian has been left out of these collections for the past 20 years or so?

This is awesome.
I bought my PSX in 1996 after I saw Namco Museum #1 as it was clear that golden age arcade games could finally be recreated fully on a console. Before that, the last console I truly loved was the Vectrex in 1984. Finally I could play near perfect versions of Galaga and Bosconian

30 years of the Playstation: Namco Museum The start of a vital trend, and Namco has arguably never done it better than on the Playstation.

Good morning, I'm back at @retroxp.bsky.social looking at 30 years of the Playstation, this time through the lens of Namco Museum. Namco's celebration of its past was never better, nor a deeper dive, than in its initial Playstation incarnations, and they should look to that fact in the future.

I still don’t “need” Disney+. Over the Past 6 years I’ve paid around $800 for it, and I’ve watched a few old movies and 1/2 dozen series. It’s not worth it to go back any time soon.

Some of the best old school computer and video games were made by trans women

Now that Disney had capitulated, I can come out and say it: the Mandalorian trailer is “meh”

Oh man!! What a great find!!

So let me get this straight: all of paramount, Viacom, cbs, plus soon wb, hbo, News Corp, Sinclair , WAPO, Facebook, X , and TikTok are all swinging hard right because … (checks notes) Star Wars went diverse and a few trans kids wanted to play sportsball?
