Atari has struck a deal to develop movies based on ten of its classic games—but how do you turn Pong, Breakout, Asteroids, or Centipede into a full-length film? Is Hollywood sitting on a gold mine of untapped retro gaming ideas, or has it officially run out of stories?

We also look at original Xbox games making the jump to PC, LEGO’s surprisingly playable Donkey Kong arcade cabinet, Anbernic’s modern take on the Game Boy Advance SP, experimental Dreamcast support for MiSTer FPGA, a new 16-bit game from veteran Amiga developers, the FBI’s investigation into malware-infected Steam games, and the newly revealed Mangmi Air Y handhelds.

It’s eight bits of the biggest retro gaming news from the past week, all packed into one episode of Bit By Bit!
