Shop Fightbox » https://genxgrownup.com/fightbox Some arcade games emulate beautifully at home… until you try to control them. In this video, we’re taking a look at the new FightBox R10 Dual Flight Stick, a specialty arcade controller designed for games where the controls are part of the identity of the experience. This is not the controller I’d grab first for Pac-Man, Donkey Kong, or Street Fighter — but for games like Robotron: 2084, Smash TV, Battlezone, Assault, and Tron, having dual sticks, triggers, and a spinner can make all the difference. We helped FightBox design this controller to solve a very specific arcade problem: those unusual classics that never feel quite right on a standard joystick, keyboard, mouse, or gamepad. So let’s put it through its paces and see how close it gets to the original arcade feel. - SHOP Fightbox » https://genxgrownup.com/fightbox 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 Toolbox 01:25 The Solution 02:08 Hardware Tour 05:19 Robotron 06:52 Assault 08:20 Battlezone 09:24 Black Widow 10:17 After Burner 11:21 Arkanoid 12:54 Tempest 14:07 Lost Tomb 15:28 Tron 19:03 Discs of Tron 21:04 Summary

Try Afterplay: https://genxgrownup.com/afterplay John Champeau and Champ Games have done it again! This time, they're bringing Sigma's obscure 1981 arcade game SPIDERS to the Atari 2600 with SPIDERS ARCADE. Spiders has always been one of those lesser-known arcade games I remember fondly, which makes this release especially interesting to me. In this video, we'll take a look back at the original Sigma arcade game, see just how uncommon it has become, and then put it side-by-side with the new Atari 2600 version from Champ Games. From the growing webs and hatching cocoons to the spiders crawling toward your cannon — and yes, even that mysterious woman who appears between rounds — Champ Games has taken on another arcade game you might never have expected to see running on the Atari 2600. How close did they get? Let's find out. #atari #retrogaming #atari2600 #genxgrownup - LINKS Champ Games » https://genxgrownup.com/champ - 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 Champ Games 01:09 All About Spiders 03:25 Recognition 03:53 Box & Contents 08:05 Power On 12:11 Conclusion
