If you've watched my reviews, you've probably heard me complain when a retro handheld or tabletop arcade doesn't save high scores. But this isn't really about the scores themselves—it's about what they represented, and why that little feature was such an important part of the original arcade experience. Let's talk about what we've been trying to preserve all along. #retrogaming #arcadegames #highscore #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 Fightbox » https://genxgrownup.com/fightbox King of Nerds » http://kingofnerds.tv Order of Cosmic Champions » http://www.orderofcosmicchampions.com - CHAPTERS 00:00 Common Comment 01:15 Small but Important 02:05 What We're Chasing 03:10 The Challenge 04:09 Technical Argument 04:58 The Chase 05:37 What Are We Preserving? 07:12 Gadgets Aren't Arcades 08:03 The Irony 08:44 Why It Matters 09:15 Conclusion

Shop X-Arcade: https://genxgrownup.com/xgaming Golden Axe is back in a brand-new My Arcade Micro Player Pro—but what exactly did Sega allow them to put inside? We unbox and play this long-awaited mini cabinet, check out all three included Golden Axe games, and dig into one big question: if this looks like an arcade machine, why are we playing the Genesis versions? Along the way, we take a quick look at the unusual arcade-vs-console lineage of Golden Axe, how Golden Axe II and III fit into the series, and whether this tiny cabinet is actually worth adding to your collection. @MyArcaderetro #retrogaming #arcade #myarcade #genxgrownup - SHOP Buy Streets of Rage: https://amzn.to/4pYfV2j Buy Golden Axe: https://amzn.to/4geLZMc 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 Fightbox » https://genxgrownup.com/fightbox King of Nerds » http://kingofnerds.tv Order of Cosmic Champions » http://www.orderofcosmicchampions.com - CHAPTERS 00:00 Golden Axe MPP 01:52 Box & Contents 04:34 Hardware Tour 07:55 Power On 09:00 Golden Axe 14:10 Golden Axe 2 15:53 Golden Axe 3 18:30 Conclusion

The NeoGeo AES+ was delayed—but how close did it come to disappearing entirely? Plaion reveals how an AI-driven chip shortage threatened the retro console’s future and forced a redesign to keep the project alive. In Bit By Bit episode 153, we also explore Evercade’s upcoming James Pond, The Last Ninja and International Karate collections, an Atari 2600 cartridge build for the Myst demake, and the arrival of Nightdive’s SiN: Reloaded. Then we step inside Pokémon Snap through an unofficial Quest VR project, explore the Atari computer that might have been through JagOS, celebrate the recovery of a long-lost Xevious commercial, and check out GameStop’s Capcom Super Pocket bundle. Does the new explanation restore your confidence in the NeoGeo AES+, or has the wait changed your mind?

1987’s “Real Men” with Jim Belushi and John Ritter is an underappreciated 80s classic; and I set out to prove the point!
