Long-lost NES puzzle game Xcavator, developed by Chris Oberth in 1991 but never released, is making a comeback thanks to a collaboration between iam8bit and the Video Game History Foundation. This exciting revival not only brings a piece of gaming history back to life but also highlights the importance of preserving our digital heritage. The polished cartridge edition, priced at $100, includes an authentic NES cart and a detailed manual that dives into the game’s troubled past and Oberth’s career.

Decades after the first console war, Atari is making waves once again by re-releasing the Intellivision console, a brand that once stood as its fiercest competitor. The upcoming Intellivision Sprint, set to launch on December 5, 2025, will not only bring back 45 classic games but also support modern HDMI output, making it accessible for todays gamers. This nostalgic revival is a testament to the enduring legacy of both brands and their impact on the gaming industry.
