Atari Hotel Hits GAME OVER + More Retro News!

? Atari Hotel Hits GAME OVER — and Vegas isn’t getting its joystick-themed check-in after all. This week we break down the latest report that the Atari-branded Las Vegas hotel plans have been scrapped, what that likely means for the project, and why this one fizzled after so much hype.

?? Then we jump into a wild slice of gaming/tech history: a Steve Jobs–related Atari “Astrochart” plan is among new items headed to auction. Vintage Apple + Atari weirdness? Yes please. ??

?? And finally, your Evercade gets a nice boost: the first Evercade firmware update of 2026 brings Neo Geo options (hello DIP switches / AES tweaks) plus Atari 2600 improvements—the kind of quality-of-life stuff retro fans actually notice.
