Atari just dropped a surprise for retro gamers — brand-new physical cartridges for the Atari 7800 in 2025! That’s right, officially licensed Bandai Namco classics like Pac-Man, Galaga, Dig Dug, and Xevious are hitting shelves again for the 7800 and 7800+. But is this a collector’s dream or just nostalgia gone too far? Meanwhile, the voice behind the legendary “Toasty!” line from Mortal Kombat has left the studio, marking the end of an era for one of gaming’s most iconic sound bites. And in the DIY corner, a creative modder has turned LEGO bricks into a fully functional Game Boy — and yes, it actually plays games! From Atari’s retro revival to Mortal Kombat goodbyes and brick-built handhelds, this week’s episode of Bit By Bit covers everything that makes gaming history worth revisiting. ?

The Atari Gamestation Go doesn't ship with Atari Lynx games, but that's never stopped us! In this video, I walk you through how to expand your new GSG to play every Lynx game released, and then some. Rather than one epic video that tries to cover the process to add every possible platform to the Go, I'm instead going to break them up into a series, starting with Lynx. Why? Firstly, the GSG has so much potential for expansion that a single comprehensive video would inevitably gloss over small, important details. Secondly, because the GSG is a brand new and evolving product whose features will likely change and evolve as firmware updates come along, tackling expansion in smaller bites will allow for more focused update videos if & when improvements are made for specific platforms. #atari #handheld #retrogaming #genxgrownup @MyArcaderetro @atari - SHOP Atari Gamestation Go » https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CT68G1TP?tag=genxgrownup-20 Gamepad » https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DSCQMQ27?tag=genxgrownup-20 Sandisk 128GB SDXC » https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0B7NTY2S6?tag=genxgrownup-20 Pixel Pocket Pros » https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DSCPD9PR?tag=genxgrownup-20 Casino Pixel » https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0FD5X12L3?tag=genxgrownup-20 Pocket Bundles » https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0F7TLLVX3?tag=genxgrownup-20 Sonic Mighty » https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DSCN9NQD?tag=genxgrownup-20 Pac-Man Mighty » https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DSCQS39K?tag=genxgrownup-20 Casino Player » https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DSCMLJL2?tag=genxgrownup-20 Casino Pocket » https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DSCN844L?tag=genxgrownup-20 Sonic Joystick » https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DSCMZSLB?tag=genxgrownup-20 http://genxgrownup.com/amazon http://GenXGrownUp.com/merch - PODCAST http://GenXGrownUp.com/pod - SUPPORT US https://patreon.com/genxgrownup - WEB & SOCIAL http://GenXGrownUp.com/discord https://twitch.tv/genxgrownup http://fb.me/GenXGrownUp https://bsky.app/profile/genxgrownup.com https://www.tiktok.com/@genxgrownup https://www.instagram.com/genxgrownup/ http://GenXGrownUp.com - SPONSORS King of Nerds » http://kingofnerds.tv Order of Cosmic Champions » http://www.orderofcosmicchampions.com - CHAPTERS 00:00 No Lynx? 00:31 Lynx Memories 01:05 Expansion Series 01:45 Overview & GSP 02:50 Loading SD Files 04:42 SD into GSG 05:23 Control Layout 07:18 Cali Games & Flip 08:44 Double Dragon & Settings 10:32 Klax & TATE 11:50 Ms. Pac-Man & D-Pad 13:19 Rampart 14:36 Toke & Buttons 15:21 Homebrew 16:00 Grub-O-Grotto 17:11 Jungle Jack 17:39 2048 18:17 Fortress Fighter 19:11 The Inside World 20:24 Unsupported

Star Trek: Strategic Operations Simulator is a space combat simulation arcade video game based on the original Star Trek television program and movie series, and released by Sega in 1983. The original arcade game uses color vector graphics for both a 2D display and a 3D first-person perspective, and features synthesized speech. The player controls the Starship Enterprise and must defend sectors from invading Klingon ships. The game was manufactured in two styles of cabinets: an upright standup, and a sit-down/semi-enclosed deluxe cabinet with the player's chair modeled after the Star Trek: The Motion Picture's bridge chairs with controls integrated into the chair's arms. Star Trek was ported to the Commodore 64, TI-99/4A, Atari 8-bit computers, Atari 5200, Atari 2600, VIC-20, ColecoVision, and Apple II. #atari #retrogaming #startrek #genxgrownup - SHOP http://genxgrownup.com/amazon http://GenXGrownUp.com/merch - PODCAST http://GenXGrownUp.com/pod - SUPPORT US https://patreon.com/genxgrownup - WEB & SOCIAL http://GenXGrownUp.com/discord https://twitch.tv/genxgrownup http://fb.me/GenXGrownUp https://bsky.app/profile/genxgrownup.com https://www.tiktok.com/@genxgrownup https://www.instagram.com/genxgrownup/ http://GenXGrownUp.com - SPONSORS King of Nerds » http://kingofnerds.tv Order of Cosmic Champions » http://www.orderofcosmicchampions.com

Dimitris “Modern Vintage Gamer” Giannakis is leaving Limited Run Games and joining Atari-owned Digital Eclipse—a big get for preservation-minded retro fans. MVG co-built LRG’s Carbon Engine; now he’s headed to Digital Eclipse (of Atari 50 and the Gold Master Series fame). What does this mean for future collections and restorations? Let’s break it down. We also cover a retail shake-up: Costco has removed Xbox listings in the US and UK and, per a rep, doesn’t plan to carry Series X|S “going forward,” calling it a business decision. This lands right before Microsoft’s October 3 price hike (Series X to $649.99, Series S to $399.99). We unpack what this means for Xbox visibility going into holiday 2025. Finally, Eden, the Nintendo Switch emulator that hit Google Play two weeks ago, was pulled from the store. Reporting points to a wave of Nintendo DMCA notices; the devs say they’ll appeal while development continues off-store. We look at what happened and what it signals for emulation on Android. ? Drop your takes: • Will MVG at Atari’s Digital Eclipse raise the bar for classic comps? • Does Costco’s move signal deeper retail headwinds for Xbox? • Is the Play Store a viable home for emulators after Eden’s removal?
