Shop Fightbox » https://genxgrownup.com/fightbox When the Atari GameStation Go was first revealed, it looked like one of the most ambitious retro handhelds ever made. A trackball, a spinner, a numpad, & over 200 games. It promised to be the ultimate all-in-one Atari machine. But when it finally launched… things didn’t exactly go according to plan. Now, six months later—after multiple firmware updates and even a community overhaul, where does the Gamestation Go stand, and is this handheld worth owning half a year after its release? #atari #retrogaming #handheld #genxgrownup cards 06:40 spinner vid 15:15 community fw 17:13 sprint review - SHOP Atari Gamestation Go » https://amzn.to/48zYBta Paul's Store » https://www.etsy.com/shop/Innovative3DShop 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 GSG at 6 Months 00:56 CES 2024 02:34 Printed Prototype 03:05 CES 2024 03:49 Paddle to Spinner 04:33 Release & Reviews 06:13 Weighted Spinner 07:02 Firmware 1.10 11:20 Thumbstick 12:40 CES 2026 14:00 Firmware 1.20 15:07 Community Firmware 16:50 Hindsight 18:16 Summary

Did Sony just give retro gaming a massive boost? ? This week on Bit By Bit, we’re talking about Sony’s plan to end physical disc production for new PlayStation games starting in 2028 and why that could make retro gaming, physical media, and old-school collecting even more important. We also dig into Evercade’s new Visco Arcade collections, the increasingly strange 3DO revival drama, a hidden Banjo-Kazooie musical surprise, a wild E-Ink Game Boy project, Donkey Kong 64 getting a native PC port, and the debate over AI-generated FPGA cores. If you love retro games, physical media, game preservation, weird hardware, and the occasional industry faceplant, this one’s packed. #RetroGaming #PlayStation #PhysicalGames #Evercade #BitByBit - LINKS Sony Physical Media - https://tinyurl.com/yyeve5mt Evercade Visco Arcade - https://tinyurl.com/4hru68ek 3DO Comeback Part 1 - https://tinyurl.com/3hz3834s 3DO Comeback Part 2 - https://tinyurl.com/yat5zvtr Banjo-Kazooie Secrets - https://tinyurl.com/ystfu725 E-Ink Game Boy - https://tinyurl.com/4t2awau9 Donkey Kong 64 Native PC Port - https://tinyurl.com/2h36fnc9 AI FPGA Cores - https://tinyurl.com/2zszuj8u - 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 - Intro 00:22 - Sony Physical Media 06:08 - Evercade Visco Arcade 07:31 - 3DO Comeback Part 1 09:17 - 3DO Comeback Part 2 10:58 - Banjo-Kazooie Secrets 13:13 - E-Ink Game Boy 14:13 - Donkey Kong 64 Native PC Port 15:05 - AI FPGA Cores

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?
