The Mortal Kombat Legacy Kollection just hit Steam, but the reaction isn’t quite a flawless victory. We dig into what fans love about this nostalgic bundle and what’s leaving them frustrated. Plus—SouljaBoy’s “new” handhelds have sparked controversy for looking almost identical to Retroid devices, and AtariAge Publishing drops a surprise at PRGE with Ducks Away, a brand-new light gun game for the Atari 7800. Let’s break it all down in this week’s Bit By Bit!

Carmageddon is back and bloodier than ever! ?? In this episode of Bit By Bit, we’re diving into Carmageddon: Rogue Shift, the new roguelite spin on the classic death-racing series, heading to PS5, Xbox Series, PC, and Nintendo Switch 2 in early 2026. We’ll talk post-apocalyptic zombie hordes, brutal car combat, and whether this new direction can really bring Carmageddon roaring back to life. Then we’re jumping over to Stranger Things season 5, where a “totally unforgivable” NES blooper has retro gamers laughing, groaning, and nitpicking frame-by-frame. We’ll break down the Ghosts ’n Goblins arcade/console mix-up and why tiny details like this matter so much to ’80s kids and cartridge purists. Finally, we look at a decade-long retrobrighting study that suggests our beloved console-whitening tricks might actually be doing more harm than good. From a poor Dreamcast shell to streaking, blotching, and worse yellowing over time, we’ll talk about what this means for restoring (or not restoring) your aging plastic hardware. If you love retro gaming, weird tech experiments, and catching every tiny on-screen mistake, you’re in the right place. Hit play, share with a fellow retro nut, and let us know in the comments: Are you hyped for Carmageddon: Rogue Shift—and will you still risk retrobrighting your gear?

Games are written in assembly, or a mix of C and assembly. The special hardware features of the GameTank - such as the Sprite Copy mechanism and the Audio Coprocessor - streamline the process of writing fun and richly animated games. #retrogaming #crowdfunding #diybuild #genxgrownup @gametank-console - LINKS GameTank Crowdfunding » https://genxgrownup.com/gametank GameTank Home » http://gametank.zone - 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 Keys of Fury » https://keysoffury.com G'AIM'E Time Crisis » http://genxgrownup.com/gaime King of Nerds » http://kingofnerds.tv Order of Cosmic Champions » http://www.orderofcosmicchampions.com - CHAPTERS 00:00 GameTank 00:55 Fantasy Goes Physical 03:12 Demo Kit Contents 05:03 Hardware Tour 06:35 Manual 07:09 Controller & Carts 08:28 Benefits 09:44 Power On 10:51 Cubicle Knight 12:57 A Very Hard Game 13:38 Accursed Fiend 15:54 Tanks! 16:34 Brick Battle 17:41 Summary
