The Two Games at a Glance
The names differ by one space and one letter, but the games have nothing in common beyond the Moon.
- Moonsweeper: Imagic, 1983, Atari 2600 first; a shooter where you rescue stranded miners on moons.
- Moon Sweepers: DragDrop Games, 2026, Windows PC on Steam (app 5335510); a cleaning sim with co-op for up to 16 players.
Moonsweeper, the 1983 Imagic Game
Moonsweeper was published by Imagic for the Atari 2600, with later versions for systems including the Intellivision and the TI-99/4A. You fly a ship around the moons of Quadrant Jupiter, rescuing stranded miners while avoiding hazards.
It is a retro title. Original cartridges turn up on collector marketplaces, and the game appears in retro game databases. It is not related to DragDrop Games.
Moon Sweepers, the 2026 Cleaning Game
Moon Sweepers starts you with a toothbrush and an entire Moon to clean. You collect lunar dust, deliver it to depots, ship it for pay and upgrade your tools and vehicles, alone or with friends.
It released on Steam on October 23, 2026. See our release date page and beginner guide for details.
