In the early '80s, when an arcade game became a standout hit, it was a race to get a verison of it onto home consoles. And no home console at the time was better suited to take on the challenge of this graphical juggernaut than the shiny new powerhouse: ColevoVision. #retrogaming #sega #colecovision #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 Fightbox » https://genxgrownup.com/fightbox King of Nerds » http://kingofnerds.tv Order of Cosmic Champions » http://www.orderofcosmicchampions.com

Towering Inferno on the Atari 2600 is one of several firefighting games on the console - and firefighting can always be harrowing. But the plot & game mechanic of this one is singularly terrifying. The disaster film, The Towering Inferno, starring Steve McQueen & Paul Newman, was released to theatres in 1974, and nearly a decade later, US Games obtained the video game rights from 20th Century Fox. #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

The Aquarius is a home computer designed by Radofin and released by Mattel Electronics in 1983. Based on the Zilog Z80 microprocessor, the system has a rubber chiclet keyboard, 4 kB of RAM, and a subset of Microsoft BASIC in ROM. It connects to a television set for audiovisual output, and uses a cassette tape recorder for secondary data storage. A limited number of peripherals, such as a 40-column thermal printer, a 4-color printer/plotter, and a 300 baud modem, were released. The Aquarius was discontinued in October 1983, only a few months after it was launched. #retrogames #mattel #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 - CHAPTERS 00:00 Mattel Aquarius? 00:35 Cool Daughter 02:28 All the Stuff 03:22 Aquarius PC 06:13 Mini Expander Kit 07:33 Memory Expansion 08:02 Nightstalker 09:39 Assembly 11:43 Power On 12:05 BASIC Programming 13:02 Nightstalker

Think of what attracted you to Space Invaders in the past? It certainly wasn't killer graphics or sound effects. Gameplay has been and always will be its selling point. Even with a simple plot and ridiculously repetitive stages, it was addictive -- a narcotic, more appropriately, that kept us up for hours and ate tons of our hard-earned quarters. The objective: wipe out waves of aliens from your land-based vehicle, armed only with a laser cannon, while dodging enemy fire in coordinated attack formations. Simple in theory, yet so freakin difficult to accomplish. Twenty years later, the goal remains the same. The mission begins on Pluto and if you're lucky enough to survive the onslaught, you'll end up on Earth. In between, you'll encounter a slew of enemies, much smarter than before. Thirteen different alien species round out the roster, from your basic blue or yellow bugs to your more complex Blockers, Shifters, Kamikazes and Splitters. Don't expect them to quiver and die either. Some avoid your fire, some move out of their coordinated positions, and others try to damage your tank after being shot down. If that's not enough, you get to face a boss before moving on to another planet. #retrogaming #spaceinvaders #playstation #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

You. Your friends. An abandoned Cold War bunker. What could go wrong? What starts as a lighthearted dare quickly becomes high stakes when you and your three friends are trapped in the mysterious, underground Missile Command bunker. The teams at Mighty Yell and 13AM Games have taken one of Atari’s most iconic titles and created a high-pressure, tactical turn-based game, where players must manage their pool of defenses strategically to survive rounds of incoming missiles. Missile Command Delta approaches gameplay in a completely new way, but it retains all the tension and suspense of the arcade original. You have to think strategically about every move you make because even one poor choice can have grave consequences. The turn-based strategy game is wrapped in a twisting, narrative thriller – great for mystery fans, completionists, and players that love to explore and solve puzzles. Between inbound missile alerts, investigate the underground bunker between inbound missile alerts to access locked rooms, uncover secrets, and strengthen your arsenal. Will you be able to unravel the mystery in time? #atari #missilecommand #live - LINKS Atari's Site » https://atari.com/products/missile-command-delta MC Delta on Steam » https://store.steampowered.com/app/2790160/Missile_Command_Delta/ - 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
