You've surely noticed that almost every modern game controller puts the directional controls on the left and the action buttons on the right. Xbox, PlayStation, Nintendo -- pretty much everybody. But here’s the thing - That layout wasn't always the standard. In fact, some of the earliest home console controllers were ambidextrous, or even designed to be held in the left hand while working the joystick with the right. So how did we end up with the layout we all take for granted today, and is it wrong? #retrogaming #handheldgaming #genxgrownup - SHOP http://genxgrownup.com/amazon http://GenXGrownUp.com/merch - PODCAST http://GenXGrownUp.com/pod - SUPPORT US https://patreon.com/genxgrownup - WEB & SOCIAL http://GenXGrownUp.com/discord https://twitch.tv/genxgrownup http://fb.me/GenXGrownUp https://bsky.app/profile/genxgrownup.com https://www.tiktok.com/@genxgrownup https://www.instagram.com/genxgrownup/ http://GenXGrownUp.com - SPONSORS King of Nerds » http://kingofnerds.tv Order of Cosmic Champions » http://www.orderofcosmicchampions.com

Stealth is a pseudo-3D rail shooter designed by Tracy Lagrone and Richard Sansom published in 1984 by Broderbund for the Atari 8-bit computers and Commodore 64. The player's mission in Stealth is to pilot a low-level bomber-fighter ship to infiltrate enemy territory and travel a distance of 10,000 miles to reach and destroy the Black Tower (enemy citadel). The ship uses pulse energy for power, so the player must keep an eye on the fuel supply in addition to avoiding obstacles and shooting enemies. Energy fields are randomly scattered around the planet. The yellow ones contain fields of positive energy that can be used to refuel the player's ship. On the other hand, there are also red, negative energy fields that will drain the ship of energy. On the way to the Black Tower, the player has to watch out for enemy bunkers, tanks, rockets, reconnaissance planes and fighters. Additionally, the player must destroy the radar towers, because a failed attempt to destroy them automatically triggers the launch of a homing missile. The game has five levels, and each successive level is much more difficult. #atari #retrogaming #vintage #genxgrownup - SHOP http://genxgrownup.com/amazon http://GenXGrownUp.com/merch - PODCAST http://GenXGrownUp.com/pod - SUPPORT US https://patreon.com/genxgrownup - WEB & SOCIAL http://GenXGrownUp.com/discord https://twitch.tv/genxgrownup http://fb.me/GenXGrownUp https://bsky.app/profile/genxgrownup.com https://www.tiktok.com/@genxgrownup https://www.instagram.com/genxgrownup/ http://GenXGrownUp.com - SPONSORS King of Nerds » http://kingofnerds.tv Order of Cosmic Champions » http://www.orderofcosmicchampions.com

Shop LitNXT: https://genxgrownup.com/litnxt In this video, Jon takes a look at the R36 MAX handheld gaming device compatible with ArkOS — a budget-friendly retro handheld that punches far above its price point. The R36 MAX is designed to emulate a wide range of classic systems while staying affordable and portable. With its 4-inch 720p display, dual analog controls, and Linux-based firmware, this device can handle many classic platforms including NES, SNES, Sega Genesis, Game Boy, PlayStation 1, and more — with some limited support for later systems like N64 depending on the game. Installing ArkOS can significantly improve the experience compared to stock firmware. ArkOS offers a cleaner interface, better emulator configuration, and more control over performance settings, making it a popular choice among retro handheld enthusiasts. #retrogaming #handheld #atari #genxgrownup - SHOP Shop LitNXT: genxgrownup.com/litnxt http://genxgrownup.com/amazon http://GenXGrownUp.com/merch - PODCAST http://GenXGrownUp.com/pod - SUPPORT US https://patreon.com/genxgrownup - WEB & SOCIAL http://GenXGrownUp.com/discord https://twitch.tv/genxgrownup http://fb.me/GenXGrownUp https://bsky.app/profile/genxgrownup.com https://www.tiktok.com/@genxgrownup https://www.instagram.com/genxgrownup/ http://GenXGrownUp.com - SPONSORS King of Nerds » http://kingofnerds.tv Order of Cosmic Champions » http://www.orderofcosmicchampions.com - CHAPTERS 00:00 Something Different 02:30 Box & Contents 04:45 Hardware Tour 08:58 Power On 09:43 Screen & Volume 10:20 Mappy & Aspect 12:39 Casey's Gold 14:05 Robotron & OTG 15:30 7800 Asteroids 16:25 Slime World 17:45 Lynx Rygar 18:24 DK Country 20:25 Diddy Racing 21:24 Crazy Taxi 2 22:45 PSX Double Dragon 23:13 Vice City Stories 24:01 Vectrex Berzerk 25:02 1941 CPS-1 25:45 Missile Command & Remap 27:35 Summary
