For better or worse, when Atari & PLAION designed the controller for the Intellivision Sprint, they made it match the original almost exactly. If you love that control disc, that's great news. If you DON'T love that control disc, you may be looking for options. But whether you love or hate the Sprint's controller, this new upgrade kit likely includes something worth checking out. #atari #intellivision #retrogaming #genxgrownup cards 00:35 old intv stick 05:00 cx balls - LINKS Paul's Store » https://www.etsy.com/shop/Innovative3DShop Sprint Stick Kit » https://www.etsy.com/listing/4479337383/sprint-stick-kit-for-new-intellivision Sprint Ball Tops » https://www.etsy.com/listing/4479381126/intellivision-sprint-ball-topper-stand GSG Thumbstick » https://www.etsy.com/listing/4426504607/gamestation-go-d-pad-thumbstick-adapter GSG 40mm Super Spinner » https://www.etsy.com/shop/Innovative3DShop?ref=dashboard-header&section_id=55853536 GSG 37mm Super Spinner » https://www.etsy.com/listing/4427102457/game-station-go-spinner-kit-37mm Intellivision Selection » https://www.etsy.com/shop/Innovative3DShop?ref=seller-platform- NES Refurb » https://www.etsy.com/listing/4300832858/classic-nes-modernizer-and-refurbishment NES Grip » https://www.etsy.com/listing/4300612359/classic-nes-grip-attachment-for-a Screw-In Sticks » https://www.etsy.com/listing/1824490859/joystick-accessory-set-for-the-atari - SHOP Intellivision Sprint » https://amzn.to/4c6BB5Q 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 Sprint Control 01:17 Sprint Stick Kit 01:50 Disc Installation 03:25 One: Disc 03:50 Two: Stick/Ball 05:49 Three: Thumbstick 06:50 Four: Ringpad 08:53 Five: Nub/Ball 11:39 Playtesting 15:50 Summary

Atari may be hinting at a return for one of its classic 8-bit computers, and that has us wondering what kind of retro hardware revival could be coming next. ?? This week on Bit By Bit, we’re digging into the new Atari 800XL trademark buzz, the surprisingly interesting return of Bubsy in Bubsy 4D, Embracer spinning off Fellowship Entertainment, AYANEO’s new Pocket Air Mini Arcade Home Edition, R-Type Dimensions III, Nintendo 64 rollback netcode, Lenovo’s ROM-loaded retro handheld controversy, and a fan-made Final Fantasy XVI SNES-style demake. It’s another packed week of retro gaming news, weird hardware, classic franchises, and a few stories that made us say, “Wait… what year is it again?” #RetroGaming #Atari #BitByBit #Atari800XL #RetroNews #Nintendo64 #Bubsy4D #AYANEO #FinalFantasy #GenXGrownUp - LINKS New Atari Hardware - https://tinyurl.com/4ty4mntv Bubsy 4D Review - https://tinyurl.com/3yv6tnah Embracer split - https://tinyurl.com/yc84dena AYANEO New Pocket Air Mini - https://tinyurl.com/4982s5h2 R-Type Dimensions III - https://tinyurl.com/y3tfecmd NSO N64 Updates - https://tinyurl.com/u38ervms Lenovo G02 Problems - https://tinyurl.com/mubt35c2 Final Fantasy XVI SNES demake - https://tinyurl.com/y6e6zwj8 - 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 0:30 - New Atari Hardware 3:18 - Bubsy 4D Review 6:24 - Embracer split 9:25 - AYANEO New Pocket Air Mini 12:31 - R-Type Dimensions III 15:07 - NSO N64 Updates 17:08 - Lenovo G02 Problems 19:13 - Final Fantasy XVI SNES Demake

Shop Fightbox » https://genxgrownup.com/fightbox Some arcade games emulate beautifully at home… until you try to control them. In this video, we’re taking a look at the new FightBox R10 Dual Flight Stick, a specialty arcade controller designed for games where the controls are part of the identity of the experience. This is not the controller I’d grab first for Pac-Man, Donkey Kong, or Street Fighter — but for games like Robotron: 2084, Smash TV, Battlezone, Assault, and Tron, having dual sticks, triggers, and a spinner can make all the difference. We helped FightBox design this controller to solve a very specific arcade problem: those unusual classics that never feel quite right on a standard joystick, keyboard, mouse, or gamepad. So let’s put it through its paces and see how close it gets to the original arcade feel. - SHOP Fightbox » https://genxgrownup.com/fightbox 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 The Toolbox 01:25 The Solution 02:08 Hardware Tour 05:19 Robotron 06:52 Assault 08:20 Battlezone 09:24 Black Widow 10:17 After Burner 11:21 Arkanoid 12:54 Tempest 14:07 Lost Tomb 15:28 Tron 19:03 Discs of Tron 21:04 Summary

Try Afterplay: https://genxgrownup.com/afterplay John Champeau and Champ Games have done it again! This time, they're bringing Sigma's obscure 1981 arcade game SPIDERS to the Atari 2600 with SPIDERS ARCADE. Spiders has always been one of those lesser-known arcade games I remember fondly, which makes this release especially interesting to me. In this video, we'll take a look back at the original Sigma arcade game, see just how uncommon it has become, and then put it side-by-side with the new Atari 2600 version from Champ Games. From the growing webs and hatching cocoons to the spiders crawling toward your cannon — and yes, even that mysterious woman who appears between rounds — Champ Games has taken on another arcade game you might never have expected to see running on the Atari 2600. How close did they get? Let's find out. #atari #retrogaming #atari2600 #genxgrownup - LINKS Champ Games » https://genxgrownup.com/champ - 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 Champ Games 01:09 All About Spiders 03:25 Recognition 03:53 Box & Contents 08:05 Power On 12:11 Conclusion
