Atari and Activision are teaming up for a massive new physical release of classic Atari 2600 games! The newly announced Atari x Activision Collection brings 39 classic Activision titles back on newly manufactured cartridges, including Pitfall!, River Raid, Kaboom!, H.E.R.O., Megamania, Enduro and many more. The games will be available individually, across four Deluxe Collections, or as one massive Ultimate Deluxe Set. But there’s more to this announcement than the headline. Activision released 44 Atari 2600 games in North America, so why are only 39 included? And perhaps more importantly, does this mean Atari has finally acquired the rights to Activision’s classic game catalog? In this video, I break down exactly what Atari announced, what’s missing, what this new collaboration DOES mean, and what it very specifically does NOT appear to mean for the future of these legendary Activision games. Preorders are available now at Atari.com. @atari #atari #activision #retrogaming #genxgrownup - LINKS Shop Atari: https://atari.com - 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 The Big Announcement 01:08 Atari x Activision 02:05 Cartridges 02:40 Four Collections 03:22 All the Things 03:58 Thirty Nine 06:18 What Else? 07:55 One Specific Phrase 10:32 Imagic Maybe? 11:35 Conclusion

Shop LitNXT: https://genxgrownup.com/litnxt The Anbernic RG Rotate is one of the more unusual Android emulation handhelds I’ve seen, thanks to its square 720x720 screen that swivels open to reveal the controls underneath. But is that rotating display actually useful, or is it just a gimmick? In this review, I test the RG Rotate with everything from Atari and Game Boy through arcade, PlayStation, N64, and more to see where it performs best, where the lack of analog controls becomes a limitation, and whether this distinctive little handheld is worth your attention.

Shop Fightbox » https://genxgrownup.com/fightbox Fizz Creations has turned Atari’s classic Asteroids into a tiny LCD keychain game—but this definitely isn’t the arcade original squeezed onto a little screen. Instead, it takes the basic idea of Asteroids and reworks it into something much simpler, more like the vintage handheld games of the ’70s and ’80s. In this video, I unbox it, check out the hardware and controls, see how the LCD gameplay actually works, and find out whether this little Asteroids keychain is more than just a novelty.
