Atari is closing the modern VCS software store on February 1, 2027—but what happens to the console and your games afterward? George looks at the shutdown plans, the proposed OS update to remove reliance on Atari’s servers, and the homebrew possibilities beyond official support. Then we step back into the ring with EA’s Fight Night revival, follow Croc onto Nintendo 64 through ModRetro, and explore RPCS3’s milestone of rating 80% of the PS3 library playable. A rare Pokémon Red prototype hits the auction block, Delta 2.0 brings Sega Genesis support, a Game Boy museum fits onto a cartridge, and Songbird’s Star Streak heads toward a wider Atari Jaguar release. It’s Bit By Bit E157: eight stories about the games, hardware, and discoveries keeping retro gaming interesting. What should Atari VCS owners do next—and could homebrew give the system a second life?

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

The CULTIC chaos continues! This Thursday, we’re jumping back into this brutal retro-inspired FPS and picking things up with Map #2: “The Shipyard.” Last time we crawled out of the grave, got our bearings, and started blasting our way through cult territory. Now we’re headed into the docks, where I’m sure everything will be perfectly safe, calm, and absolutely not full of cultists trying to ruin our evening. Come hang out with the GXG crew as we continue our CULTIC live playthrough, get into more old-school FPS mayhem, and see just how badly The Shipyard wants us dead. #CULTIC #RetroFPS #BoomerShooter #LiveStream #GenXGrownUp

Shop AISLPC: https://genxgrownup.com/AISLPC What if you want a retro gaming handheld without making it your next project? The AISLPC RG52 Mini costs about a hundred bucks—but how much can it do with its pre-installed software loadout? Instead of replacing the firmware and building my own game library, I’m exploring what this Linux-based handheld offers with its stock setup. We’ll check out the controls, menus, included games, built-in Wi-Fi download service, and some surprisingly capable PlayStation Portable emulation. Then we’ll connect it to a TV for big-screen play. With a 5.5-inch 720p IPS display, dual analog sticks, Hall effect triggers, and a 5,000mAh battery, there’s plenty here on paper. But is it a good fit for someone who just wants to turn it on and PLAY? Please note: the included commercial game ROMs and built-in download service are not a licensed game collection. What would you play first—PSP games or some older favorites? Let us know in the comments! - SHOP ?
