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. Whether you remember it from your childhood or are discovering it for the first time, this is a retro gem worth revisiting. #retrogaming #vintage #handheld #genxgrownup cards 05:28 galaxy ii - 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 - CHAPTERS 00:00 Astro Thunder 01:43 Box & Contents 04:15 Manual 05:22 Hardware Tour 09:13 Power On & Test 11:24 Dismantling 14:15 Cleaning 18:02 Re-Test 21:26 Re-Assembly 22:21 Phase 1 23:21 Phase 2 24:01 Phase 3 25:02 Phase 4 26:13 Phase 5 26:47 Phase 6 27:28 Summary
