This week on Bit By Bit, GameStop reportedly tried to make a massive move for eBay… and eBay said no thanks. ? But that’s only one of this week’s eight bits of retro gaming news! We’re also looking at new Virtual Boy games on Nintendo Switch Online, Evercade’s final Activision collection, a hidden Wilhelm scream in the Steam Controller, a lost Atari Lynx-style Rampage game, California’s game preservation bill, a Crazy Taxi Game Boy demake, and a GoldenEye-inspired Steam freebie. It’s business drama, retro preservation, weird controller secrets, and classic gaming surprises — all packed into this week’s Bit By Bit! #BitByBit #RetroGaming #GameStop #eBay #NintendoSwitchOnline #VirtualBoy #Evercade #AtariLynx #GamePreservation #GoldenEye - LINKS Ebay Says No - https://tinyurl.com/mwztb4ex NSO Virtual Boy Games - https://tinyurl.com/bdf7vate New Evercade Carts - https://tinyurl.com/4yeku7ma Wilhelm Steam Scream - https://tinyurl.com/5n6re8ju Monster Demolition - https://tinyurl.com/va9tkx5s New Gaming law - https://tinyurl.com/ynrcs8uu Crazy Taxi Demake - https://tinyurl.com/6vappcme Free Goldeneye - https://tinyurl.com/mr3zwa26 - 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 - Ebay Says No 3:48 - NSO Virtual Boy Games 5:52 - New Evercade Carts 7:57 - Wilhelm Steam Scream 10:16 - Monster Demolition 12:09 - New Gaming law 13:43 - Crazy Taxi Demake 15:05 - Free Goldeneye

It’s a BONUS edition of thrift pickups! I spent last weekend at RetroCon in Oaks, Pennsylvania, and came home with a pile of vintage games, gadgets, media, and other retro treasures. In this special edition, I’m showing off some of my favorite finds from the convention, including plenty of electronic games and nostalgic oddities along the way.

A tiny new FPGA handheld is taking aim at Game Boy fans with real cartridge support, a sharp screen, and a price that comes in far below some of the better-known premium alternatives. This week on Bit By Bit, we’re looking at that new FunnyPlaying handheld along with a packed batch of retro gaming news covering returning classics, a surprising movie adaptation, major preservation and reverse-engineering work, unusual new arcade hardware, Dreamcast homebrew, refreshed retro handhelds, and a fresh physical release for Game Boy Color fans. If you’re into classic consoles, retro hardware, preservation, physical media, arcade gaming, and modern ways to enjoy old-school games, you’re in the right place. #RetroGaming #GameBoy #FPGA #Dreamcast #PlayStation2 #ArcadeGaming #BitByBit #GenXGrownUp - LINKS FunnyPlaying FPGB Mini - https://tinyurl.com/5x7b5jw4 Terranigma Returns in 2027 - https://tinyurl.com/3p4wcxnn Crazy Taxi Movie - https://tinyurl.com/4zz6z885 PlayStation 2 MechaCon - https://tinyurl.com/3j8swskk HORI Arcade Classic Pro - https://tinyurl.com/v8urzfhp Star Wars Trilogy Arcade x Dreamcast - https://tinyurl.com/nhbm57ez Hyperkin SupaBoy - https://tinyurl.com/mskh6rke R-Type DX Physical GBC - https://tinyurl.com/yvjkd5xb - 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 Order of Cosmic Champions » http://www.orderofcosmicchampions.com King of Nerds » http://kingofnerds.tv - CHAPTERS 00:00 - Intro 00:22 - FunnyPlaying FPGB Mini 02:36 - Terranigma Returns in 2027 04:40 - Crazy Taxi Movie 05:59 - PlayStation 2 MechaCon 07:00 - HORI Arcade Classic Pro 09:31 - Star Wars Trilogy Arcade x Dreamcast 10:33 - Hyperkin SupaBoy 12:52 - R-Type DX Physical GBC

Turning Atari’s Centipede into a board game sounds like a questionable idea—but Milton Bradley did far more than paste familiar artwork onto an unrelated children’s game. In this video, I set up and play the officially licensed 1983 Centipede board game, explore designer Bruce Whitehill’s unusual arcade research, and see how the segmented centipedes, mushrooms, cannons, spider and scorpion translate to the tabletop. The result includes some genuinely clever strategy and a wonderful sense of movement, although the spinner can occasionally leave one player at the mercy of some very unlucky turns. It may not recreate the speed of the arcade classic, but it clearly understands what made Centipede recognizable. Did you play this one—or another board game based on a classic arcade game?

Polaris began as a Taito arcade game in 1980, but when Tigervision brought it to the Atari 2600, programmer Robert H. O’Neil did more than simply scale down the original. He added an entirely new phase that arcade players never experienced. Independently suggested by both @theblockydad and @BeastCake1349, this week’s Friday Plays dives into this uncommon 1983 release, compares it with the arcade original, and asks whether what Polaris ADDED can compensate for what was lost in translation. #atari #retrogaming #vintage #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 Order of Cosmic Champions » http://www.orderofcosmicchampions.com King of Nerds » http://kingofnerds.tv
