? Atari Hotel Hits GAME OVER — and Vegas isn’t getting its joystick-themed check-in after all. This week we break down the latest report that the Atari-branded Las Vegas hotel plans have been scrapped, what that likely means for the project, and why this one fizzled after so much hype. ?? Then we jump into a wild slice of gaming/tech history: a Steve Jobs–related Atari “Astrochart” plan is among new items headed to auction. Vintage Apple + Atari weirdness? Yes please. ?? ?? And finally, your Evercade gets a nice boost: the first Evercade firmware update of 2026 brings Neo Geo options (hello DIP switches / AES tweaks) plus Atari 2600 improvements—the kind of quality-of-life stuff retro fans actually notice. ?

The Entex Defender from 1982 was a popular handheld electronic game, a portable version of the classic arcade game Defender, featuring VFD (Vacuum Fluorescent Display) graphics, controls for movement, thrust, fire, hyperspace, and smart bombs, and adjustable speed/skill levels, allowing players to experience the challenging spaceship shooter on the go, alongside other licensed handhelds from Entex that year. #retrogaming #handheld #arcade #genxgrownup cards 00:57 retrocon - 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 Entex Defender 02:29 Box & Contents 06:34 Hardware Tour 10:42 Power On 15:48 Game Two 18:43 Higher Skill 20:39 Summary

? This week on Bit By Bit, we’re looking at the TrimUI Smart Pro S and why it’s being called a massive step up from the original. Faster internals, a much-improved D-pad, and even active cooling?! If you’ve been hunting for a sub-$100-ish handheld that feels like a legit “Version 2.0,” this one’s worth a closer look. ?? ? Then we detour into pure maker madness: somebody built a mini PC inside a Red Bull can (yes, really) using a Raspberry Pi 5—loaded up for retro goodness and running straight into a front-end for classics like Pac-Man and more. Absolute gremlin energy. ?? ?? And finally, we hit a nostalgia nerve with a list of Atari games with serious replay value—the kind of titles you can fire up for “just five minutes” and suddenly it’s 2AM. (Asteroids, Missile Command, Yars’ Revenge… you know the deal.) ? ? Question of the week: What’s YOUR most replayable Atari game—and would you daily-drive the Smart Pro S over the original? ?
