Is Frogs and Flies a misunderstood masterpiece? Fans of the 2600 cult classic warn that to dismiss it is to miss out on a ribbiting competitive showdown. Try it yourself in the new #Atari50 DLC "The First Console War," out now for console & PC. https://t.co/xtyM5EqF2m

An absolute classic of the sports genre, Accolade's HardBall! for home computers helped set the standard for years to come. Return to the Atari 8-bit version in #Atari50's second DLC pack, "The First Console War," out this Friday. https://t.co/fUrd7GykTN

Almost lost forever, M Network's Tower of Mystery is a 2600 action/RPG last seen in 1984. Working with programmer Jane Terjung, we are proud to offer it for the first time in #Atari50's "The First Console War" DLC pack, out November 8. https://t.co/mdc0WPVIty

Also I had to explain to my mother that it wasn't a shit zipper but in fact a shit sipper. Which wasn't helpful.

Finally had the time to 100% Astro Bot

What a PHENOMENALLY fun platinum, and an outstanding secret final level

GOTY top 3 at the very least!!

“But why would you preorder a digital game?”

Because Digital Eclipse is preserving our hobby, and they deserve all the support I can give them.

Modern gaming is having a spare 5 minutes for a quick game of something, then getting hit with an always online mandatory update that eats into your 5 minutes and half of your evening too

"Digital Eclipse has even gone out of its way to recreate the Game Boy version of Tetris, complete with an expanded version of the theme, which, if you’re familiar, is a banger." - @shacknews on Tetris Time Warp #TetrisForever

So glad I chose to stay home and watch the World Series instead of going out and counting the number of people wearing Slutty-Art-The-Clown-As-Santa costumes.

"If you grew up in arcades in the 1990s, you probably have fond memories of some very specific games. While lots of great ’90s shows got their own cabinets, there was one glaring omission: The Mighty Morphin’ Power Rangers never got their own game."

I wish this wasn’t true.

[Jess McDonell @JessMcDonell]

You finish Astro on a lovely note but dw it's not over!

Here are a bunch of fucked hard levels that will make you hate yourself, life, and all of video games!

Wanna collect every bot? Too bad kids that's exclusive to those of you who want to spend hours screaming at a screen 👍

[Chris Kohler @kobunheat]

The Tetris Forever news is coming fast and furious as we get closer to November 12!

Check out @Robotube and @MikeJMika talking about Tetris Time Warp, the all-new game from Digital Eclipse included in Tetris Forever:

[Ian Miles Cheong @ianmiles]

This is so damn impressive.

[Jess McDonell @JessMcDonell]

If you're getting stuck on the hard astro bot levels, here's a tip! If you can't do it on the first go but you get super close, you won't get it until your 86th try

Hope this helps!

If the new @MARVELSNAP high voltage mode taught me anything, it’s that I’d play this game 5x more if there was a regular, unranked mode with turn timers cut in half

I got all the HV rewards so there’s no real incentive to play

A regular, fast unranked mode would be dope
