We’re past April Fools Day now (where this year we had a fuzzy joke to play with pinball), and thus we come back to real news. Perhaps this one would have come along yesterday, but didn’t so that people could believe in it. Either way, Raw Thrills has teased that they have a new game [...]

By |2026-04-02T13:47:25+01:00April 1st, 2026|Arcade Game News|Comments Off on Bubsy Paws Into Pinball (Updated!)

Atari has been on a retro kick lately, grabbing the rights to all sorts of forgotten classic IP, including the failed 1990s gaming mascot Bubsy.
