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

?? This week on Bit By Bit, we’re talking about Banjo-Kazooie going portable on a slick new retro handheld, a brutal Maniac Mansion challenge that only a tiny handful of players could conquer, and one of gaming’s biggest “what if” stories becoming museum history with the legendary Nintendo PlayStation prototype.

Shop Royibeila » https://genxgrownup.com/royb Last month the R36 MAX made its way into the studio and we took what was our first real serious look at a modern emulation handheld. It was a positive yet eye-opening experience, so to continue our education, in this video, we look at a brand new and VERY different gadget in this class - the GAME MT EX8 from distributor Royibeila. #atari #retrogaming #handheld #genxgrownup - SHOP Shop Royibeila » https://genxgrownup.com/royb 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 GameMT EX8 01:30 Stats 02:40 Box & Contents 04:51 Hardware Tour 07:04 Power On 09:40 Emulation Station 11:20 YouTube/Android Games 12:43 Atari 2600 13:33 Atari 7800 14:14 Atari Lynx 15:04 N64 17:49 PSP 21:21 GameCube 23:42 Summary

Far too many great television shows are canceled after just a single season (or even less). With so few episodes, these shows seldom make their way to syndication, so it’s easy to miss out on gems if you didn’t catch them on their initial run. GXG gives you a rundown of the top ten one-season […]
