Dear ‘Retro’ Games, You’ve been with us for as long as we can remember. And we owe you. Big time. You were there for the long nights, glowing screens, worn buttons, and that unmistakable feeling of just one more try.  And the quarters… So. Many. Quarters. There’s a purity in classics like Galaga, Centipede, Frogger, Pac-Man, Asteroids and others. They didn’t need spectacle to be unforgettable. And decades later, they still inspire developers, still challenge players, and still spark joy. As a thank you, we at Resolution Games have created a love letter to the classics, to the industry, and to everyone who has ever felt that spark when you drop a quarter into the machine and a game simply clicks, which we launched today, called Retrocade. Now available in one app on Apple Arcade, you can play 10 iconic arcade games from the 80’s - ASTEROIDS®, BREAKOUT®, BUBBLE BOBBLE™, CENTIPEDE®, FROGGER, GALAGA™, HAUNTED CASTLE, PAC-MAN™, SPACE INVADERS™, and TRACK & FIELD. (Play here: https://apple.co/Retrocade) Retro games are having a real moment again, and I couldn’t be happier. Not just because they’re fun), but because they remind us of what made games magical in the first place: simple rules, tight controls, and gameplay so good it pulls you back in without ever asking too much. But Retrocade isn’t only about playing old games again. It’s about something we’ve never fully been able to recreate before. Until now, games have mostly lived as software—code and pixels separated from their physical soul. With Retrocade, we can finally celebrate the whole experience: the art, the cabinets, the atmosphere, the environments that once surrounded these games and made them feel alive. You don’t just play them—you visit them. We love games. Always have. Always will. See you in the arcade, Tommy Palm CEO, Resolution Games
