Shop Fightbox: https://genxgrownup.com/fightbox This week on Friday Plays, I take to the skies with Snoopy and the Red Baron for the Atari 2600. Released late in the console’s original life, this licensed Peanuts game looks surprisingly polished and turns Snoopy’s famous Flying Ace routine into a colorful dogfight filled with falling treats, risky pickups, and one very good idea Atari may have asked to carry the entire game. Thanks to regular viewer Miss Raven LaRue for the suggestion! #atari #retrogaming #snoopy - 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

The NeoGeo AES+ was shaping up to be one of the most exciting new pieces of retro hardware this year — but now fans are going to be waiting a whole lot longer. The hardware-accurate NeoGeo revival has been pushed all the way into September 2027, and we’re digging into what caused the major delay. Plus, GOG takes game preservation beyond the games themselves with printable classic PC big-box extras, Super Smash Bros. Melee reaches a huge decompilation milestone after years of work, and the new Metal Slug Ultimate Collection packs ten games together with online co-op. We’ve also got a major RPCS3 breakthrough that makes physical PS3 discs much more useful on PC, another surprising development in the never-ending Amico saga, a modern reimagining of Lara Croft’s original Tomb Raider adventure, and a compact 4:3 retro gaming monitor built with classic consoles in mind. It’s eight bits of retro gaming news, all packed into this week’s Bit By Bit! #NeoGeo #RetroGaming #SNK #GamePreservation #MetalSlug #TombRaider #ClassicGaming #BitByBit - LINKS NeoGeo AES+ Delayed - https://tinyurl.com/498wbpxe GOG Big-Box Preservation Extras - https://tinyurl.com/yc29phfs Super Smash Bros.

The Atari 800XL is coming back—but is this $220 revival worth a spot on your desk? A working keyboard, HDMI output, cartridge support and 25 built-in games make THE 800XL a tempting return to Atari’s home-computer days. George takes a closer look in this week’s Bit By Bit from GenXGrownUp. Then, the ESA targets Anbernic and handhelds bundled with unauthorized games, while Analogue unveils the Super Nt+ and Mega Sg+ for SNES and Genesis cartridge fans. Wing Commander III restoration news brings renewed hope for its classic live-action footage, and decomp.dev’s public-index shutdown raises questions about AI’s impact on the retro development community. We also dig into the Toy Story: Retro Roundup! reviews, explore Shiny Relay’s community-made wireless features for the ModRetro Chromatic, and wrap up with Anbernic RG DDS preorders.
