ATARI is asking nearly $1,000 for its new collection of 39 physical ACTIVISION cartridge re-releases — and plenty of people are calling that price outrageous. But is it really? Rather than argue about whether $1,000 simply feels like too much, I decided to run the numbers. In this video, I compare Atari’s new collection with what these same games cost when they were originally released, what those prices represent in today’s dollars, and what it would cost now to assemble the same 39-game collection using original cartridges, boxes, and manuals. The results put that $999.96 price tag into a very different perspective. What do you think? Is Atari charging too much, or does the price make more sense once you see the comparison?

Coleco was ahead of the curve in the early ’80s with their line of tabletop arcade machines. This Ms. Pac-Man from 1981 is in incredible condition, but it’s missing the battery door and hasn’t been tested. But for only $20 at a used game store, I had to take a shot! Join GenXGrownUp for Perks! […]

8BitDo’s NES40 drop is here—and that $499 Retro 68 Keyboard is the lightning rod. We break down what you actually get (aluminum build, Ice Cream Pro Max switches, 300-hour battery), plus the rest of the NES40 set: the limited-run Ultimate 2 N40 controller and the $49.99 Retro Cube 2 speaker. Launch windows, pricing, and the 1,985-unit cap inside. Also in the show: the Friday the 13th devs are back with Halloween: The Game—asymmetrical slasher mayhem with Michael Myers stalking Haddonfield, targeting a 2026 release. What’s new vs F13, and will rights issues stay clear this time? And we check in with Ron Gilbert (Monkey Island): he “never stops thinking about adventure games,” but won’t make another point-and-click just for nostalgia as his roguelike Death By Scrolling nears release—what that means for classic adventure fans.

Valve’s latest CS2 patch detonated the skins economy — reports say up to $3B vanished overnight as Trade Up tweaks let players convert cheap Covert “reds” into knives and gloves, sending prices into freefall. It’s a stark reminder that when platforms change the rules, your “digital assets” can disappear instantly. Plus: Mortal Kombat: Legacy Kollection drops with a brand-new Fatality Trainer to help you master every finisher, from Babalities to Animalities — launching October 30, 2025. And in retro news, deadmau5 teams up with Atari for a limited-edition Atari 7800 cartridge, Meowingtons Revenge, playable on both the 2600+ and 7800+ systems.
