Crackpots is an Atari 2600 game designed by Dan Kitchen and published by Activision in 1983. It was Kitchen's first game for Activision. In Crackpots, the player controls Potsy, a gardener. Potsy's Brooklyn building is being overrun by bugs trying to climb inside six windows. The player moves Potsy back and forth along the roof to drop pots on the bugs before they can get close enough to enter the windows. #atari #retrogaming #genxgrownup - 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 King of Nerds » http://kingofnerds.tv Order of Cosmic Champions » http://www.orderofcosmicchampions.com

Shop Fightbox: https://genxgrownup.com/fightbox Step back to 1986 with the Radio Shack Astro Thunder, a tabletop VFD classic that brought arcade-style space combat into your home. Powered by 4 C batteries and originally priced at $39.95, this Tandy release (Model 60-2197) is actually part of a fascinating lineage—licensed from Grandstand’s Firefox F-7 and rebranded across multiple versions like the Epoch Astro Thunder 7 and Galaga X6. In this video, we resurrect a malfuncitoning example of this classic, take a closer look at Astro Thunder's gameplay, its distinctive vacuum fluorescent display, and how it fits into the golden age of handheld and tabletop electronic games.
