8BitDo’s NES40 drop is here—and that $499 Retro 68 Keyboard is the lightning rod. We break down what you actually get (aluminum build, Ice Cream Pro Max switches, 300-hour battery), plus the rest of the NES40 set: the limited-run Ultimate 2 N40 controller and the $49.99 Retro Cube 2 speaker. Launch windows, pricing, and the 1,985-unit cap inside. Also in the show: the Friday the 13th devs are back with Halloween: The Game—asymmetrical slasher mayhem with Michael Myers stalking Haddonfield, targeting a 2026 release. What’s new vs F13, and will rights issues stay clear this time? And we check in with Ron Gilbert (Monkey Island): he “never stops thinking about adventure games,” but won’t make another point-and-click just for nostalgia as his roguelike Death By Scrolling nears release—what that means for classic adventure fans.

? Atari Hotel Hits GAME OVER — and Vegas isn’t getting its joystick-themed check-in after all. This week we break down the latest report that the Atari-branded Las Vegas hotel plans have been scrapped, what that likely means for the project, and why this one fizzled after so much hype. ?? Then we jump into a wild slice of gaming/tech history: a Steve Jobs–related Atari “Astrochart” plan is among new items headed to auction. Vintage Apple + Atari weirdness? Yes please. ?? ?? And finally, your Evercade gets a nice boost: the first Evercade firmware update of 2026 brings Neo Geo options (hello DIP switches / AES tweaks) plus Atari 2600 improvements—the kind of quality-of-life stuff retro fans actually notice. ?

Numskull Facebook Group » https://genxgrownup.com/fbqa Pengo is a 1982 maze video game developed by Coreland and published by Sega for arcades. The player controls Pengo, a red penguin who resides in the Antarctic. The game takes place in an overhead maze made of ice blocks, where Pengo crushes blob-like Sno-Bees by sliding blocks into them. The objective is to survive each round by eliminating all Sno-Bees and Sno-Bee eggs, while optionally lining up the three diamond blocks to earn a large score bonus. Pengo was ported to the Atari 2600 in 1984. #atari #retrogaming #console #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 Numskull Facebook Group » https://genxgrownup.com/fbqa G'AIM'E Time Crisis » http://genxgrownup.com/gaime King of Nerds » http://kingofnerds.tv Order of Cosmic Champions » http://www.orderofcosmicchampions.com
