Atari’s new Activision cartridges are almost here! Atari sent over a media kit with the Standard Editions of Pitfall!, River Raid, H.E.R.O., and Pressure Cooker, giving me an early opportunity to check out the packaging, manuals, and cartridges—and put them to work. Already ordered? Here’s a sneak peek at what’s coming. Still on the fence? This closer look might help you decide whether these re-releases belong in your collection. Thanks to Atari for providing these games. Did this look reinforce your decision or change your mind?

The Atari Hotel is finally moving beyond the concept art! With site preparation beginning in Phoenix, we’re looking at the latest milestone for Atari’s long-promised gaming destination—and what’s planned for the property. Then, ModRetro brings ClayFighter: Sculptor’s Cut and Body Harvest back to cartridge collectors, while Anbernic faces another headache as the Azahar team withdraws official device support. We also explore Taki Udon’s SuperStation Pocket teaser and the independent SGBC FPGA console, two different approaches to giving your Game Boy cartridges a new home. Evercade Nexus reaches store shelves, a folding handheld puts real PlayStation 2 hardware in your hands, and Forza architect Dan Greenawalt reportedly prepares to leave Microsoft after 27 years. It’s eight bits of retro gaming news, from classic cartridges and new hardware to the people shaping the games we love. Would you book a stay at an Atari Hotel?
