A foldable gaming handheld is officially on the menu ??? This week on Bit By Bit, we’re digging into the OneXSugar “Wallet” concept—what a folding OLED could mean for handheld play, retro emulation, and even that “dual-screen” vibe without a giant hinge gap. Then we pivot to a must-have SNES accessory: the SN Operator. If you’ve got a shelf full of Super Nintendo carts, this thing aims to make playing (and backing up saves) on modern hardware way easier. And finally… a spicy nostalgia check ? We’re talking about a list of classic ’80s games that “aged badly”—and debating what still rules today vs what deserves a remake, a patch, or a respectful retirement. ? Sound off in the comments: Would you buy a foldable handheld? Would you pick up an SN Operator? Which ’80s game holds up the BEST today? ? Like, ? subscribe, and share this with a fellow retro fan!

This week on Bit By Bit, we’re unpacking a big shake-up in retro coverage: Time Extension says it’s done covering ModRetro products moving forward — what prompted the decision, what it means for readers, and why it’s sparking such a loud reaction in the community. ? Plus, we’re celebrating some brighter retro vibes: a look back at why 2025 may have been Evercade’s strongest year yet, with so many releases (and hardware) keeping physical retro alive and well. ???? And finally, a major PC gaming story with retro-friendly implications: CD Projekt is selling GOG — what that could mean for DRM-free games, ownership, and preservation going forward. ?? ?

? Atari’s “playable hotel” plans in Phoenix are giving me major bad-vibes. A gaming resort with an esports venue, a sportsbook, nightlife… and an investment push? Yeah—this is one of those ideas that sounds “bold” on paper but feels messy (and risky) the closer you look. ??? In this episode of Bit By Bit, I break down what’s been revealed so far, why it doesn’t sit right with me, and what I think this could mean for Atari’s brand (and retro fans) if it goes sideways. Then we wrap up with more retro news you don’t want to miss! ??? ? Sound off in the comments: Would you actually stay at an Atari Hotel… or is this a hard pass? ? Like • ? Comment • ?

This week on Bit By Bit, we dig into the “shutdown” chatter swirling around Arcade1Up, then break down what Basic Fun’s acquisition of select Arcade1Up assets could mean for future cabinets, current owners, support, and the home arcade scene. ??? Plus: if you’ve got one of those slick little retro handhelds, we’ll talk smart (and safe) ways to actually get games running on it — and we’ll hit the surprise return of a classic D&D PC RPG, The Temple of Elemental Evil, popping up on Steam for retro CRPG fans. ??? ?

ReStory puts you behind the workbench in a cozy early-2000s Japanese repair shop, where you carefully take apart and restore retro tech – including officially licensed Atari hardware like the 2600 – turning broken memories into working treasures again. ?? In this episode of Bit By Bit, we dig into how ReStory turns electronics repair into something that feels almost like therapy for both the gadgets and the player, with satisfying teardown, cleaning, and reassembly moments that will hit every retro fan right in the feels. We’ll also talk about an insane DIY Commodore 64 laptop build that stuffs modern hardware into a period-correct C64 “portable” shell, complete with that classic beige look, mechanical keyboard, and compatibility with vintage accessories. ?? And if that’s not enough nostalgia, there’s even a brand-new FPS released for the ZX Spectrum, proving that some “retired” systems just refuse to die and are still getting fresh games decades later. ??? From Atari tear-downs to C64 laptops and surprise Spectrum shooters, it’s a great week to be a retro gamer. #??
