Become a GXG Insider: https://genxgrownup.com/insider Cosmic Creeps is one of the Atari 2600’s most overlooked games -- and one of the easiest to misunderstand without the manual. In this Friday Plays, I take a closer look at this obscure Telesys release, explain how its unusual two-part gameplay works, and find out whether this forgotten Atari game is actually worth playing. #atari #retrogaming #rare #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

This 1979 Baseball Game Was Built for TWO I Found a TWO-PLAYER Baseball Game from 1979 This 1979 Electronic Baseball Game STILL WORKS! Released in 1979, Entex Baseball 2 was built around something many electronic games of the era overlooked: playing with another person. One player bats while the other secretly selects pitches using a separate wired controller. I found this Sears-branded example at a local vintage toy shop, cleaned it up, figured out how it works, and played a complete game to see whether this nearly fifty-year-old tabletop baseball game still has some competition left in it. #retrogaming #handheld #baseball #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 - CHAPTERS 00:00 Baseball 2 01:00 Sears Sequel 01:45 Box & Contents 04:54 Hardware Tour 08:14 Cleanup 09:56 Power On 12:25 Two-Player 16:21 Conclusion

This week on Bit By Bit, Atari makes another big retro move by acquiring rights tied to the first five Wizardry games. Is this just another classic IP pickup, or is Atari quietly building something much bigger in the retro gaming space? We’re also covering Super Mario 64 running on Game Boy Advance, a pocket-sized GameCube made from real Nintendo hardware, the delayed THEA1200 Amiga-style retro computer, Takashi Tezuka retiring from Nintendo, new Neo Geo AES+ details, possible retired Evercade cartridges returning, and the open-source Game Bub FPGA handheld. Eight bits of retro gaming news from the past week — all that and just a little bit more, right here on Bit By Bit! ?? #Atari #Wizardry #RetroGaming #BitByBit #SuperMario64 #GameBoyAdvance #GameCube #Amiga #NeoGeo #Evercade #Nintendo #FPGAHandheld #RetroNews - LINKS Atari Acquires Wizardry - https://tinyurl.com/522kt3pe Keychain GameCube - https://tinyurl.com/bdhtjke5 Evercade News - https://tinyurl.com/mr793pct Super Mario 64 GBA - https://tinyurl.com/3rjtv72k A1200 Pushed Back - https://tinyurl.com/5zbmm45d Neo Geo AES+ Questions - https://tinyurl.com/437tffh9 Takashi Tezuka Retires - https://tinyurl.com/3wtyttx7 Game Bub - https://tinyurl.com/nuv8wj8x - 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 - CHAPTERS 0:22 - Atari Acquires Wizardry 4:31 - Keychain GameCube 6:21 - Evercade News 7:19 - Super Mario 64 GBA 8:33 - A1200 Pushed Back 9:51 - Neo Geo AES+ Questions 11:18 - Takashi Tezuka Retires 12:20 - Game Bub

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

If you've watched my reviews, you've probably heard me complain when a retro handheld or tabletop arcade doesn't save high scores. But this isn't really about the scores themselves—it's about what they represented, and why that little feature was such an important part of the original arcade experience. Let's talk about what we've been trying to preserve all along. #retrogaming #arcadegames #highscore #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 - CHAPTERS 00:00 Common Comment 01:15 Small but Important 02:05 What We're Chasing 03:10 The Challenge 04:09 Technical Argument 04:58 The Chase 05:37 What Are We Preserving? 07:12 Gadgets Aren't Arcades 08:03 The Irony 08:44 Why It Matters 09:15 Conclusion
