The blood will flow once again—digitally, of course! Digital Eclipse, now owned by Atari, is bringing Mortal Kombat back with the Legacy Kollection, a faithful restoration of the original trilogy of arcade classics. But that's not all in the world of retro and gaming news… We also dive into Atari’s puzzling decision to rebrand a failed Kickstarter game (Mr. Run and Jump) as the spiritual successor to Adventure. Is this a bold move or just nostalgia bait? Plus, we’ve got a look at the first serious rivals to the Nintendo Switch 2: the new Xbox handheld prototypes are real, and they look ready to compete! Hit play for all the pixel-packed updates in this week’s roundup of retro gaming and beyond! ?

The announcement of the Atari 7800+ has been met with a fair amount of pushback from some fans. The key criticism being, “it’s the same as last year’s model in a new shell.” And, to be fair, they have a point. In this brief video, Jon outlines what he perceives to be the root cause […]

In the early '80s a company called Suncom manufactured this unassuming little 9-pin joystick for the Atari 2600. It doesn't look like much, but with its solid steel shaft, ball-top, and low profile, the Slik Stik is one of the most accurate and durable third-party controllers available for the 2600 (and compatibles).

Let's clean it up and give it a test to see why so many players swear by this little controller. #atari #retrogaming #joystick #genxgrownup - LINKS (relevant links mentioned in video) - 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 - CHAPTERS 00:00 SFGE Flea 01:29 Starting Place 02:47 Dismantling 04:14 Cleaning 05:09 Assembly 05:46 Cleaning II 07:40 Clean & Ready 08:28 Play Test 10:14 Summary
