Check out Afterplay: https://genxgrownup.com/afterplay Shop for Gamer Fun » https://amzn.to/4vNjTx8 My Arcade’s All-Star Sports Gamer Fun is the first release I’ve been able to get hands-on with from the new Gamer Fun line — and while the sports games are part of the story, the hardware may be the bigger deal. After seeing this new form factor at CES 2026, including a Pac-Man version still to come, I wanted to find out how the screen, controls, size, and overall feel hold up — and what this first Gamer Fun device might tell us about future My Arcade releases. #retrogaming #handheld #sports #genxgrownup @MyArcaderetro - SHOP Shop Gamer Fun » https://amzn.to/4vNjTx8 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 Gamer Fun 02:08 Box & Contents 04:58 Hardware Tour 08:52 Battery 10:30 Power/Volume/Brightness 12:27 Goal! 14:24 Bases Loaded 3 16:15 Trampoline 18:19 Cut the Fruit 19:21 Everybody Fishing 20:15 Go Downstairs 21:03 Good Fisherman 21:29 Happy Miner 22:13 Highway Racing 23:11 Lightning Gunner 23:52 Mine Clearance 25:04 Pastry Party 25:32 Pinball 27:06 Spot Difference 28:16 Trampoline Goblin 28:44 Turn Stone 29:29 Summary

Marauder for the Atari 2600 may look a lot like Berzerk at first glance, but Tigervision’s 1982 maze shooter has some clever ideas of its own. There’s a real objective to your exploration, a temporary invincibility shield, faster-paced action, and a unique line-of-sight mechanic that changes when enemies are even visible. Originally based on a larger computer game from On-Line Systems — the company that would become Sierra On-Line — this 2600 version preserves the alien-base infiltration half of the original experience. In this Friday Plays, we take a closer look at Marauder, see how it compares to Berzerk, and find out whether this overlooked Atari game really has more going on than its simple appearance suggests. Thanks to Friday Plays viewer Heckensteiner for the recommendation! #retrogaming #atari #atari2600 #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 Fightbox » https://genxgrownup.com/fightbox King of Nerds » http://kingofnerds.tv Order of Cosmic Champions » http://www.orderofcosmicchampions.com

Atari’s classic 800XL home computer is making a comeback! Newly announced by Atari, THE 800XL from Retro Games Ltd. brings a full-sized mechanical keyboard, a working cartridge slot, and built-in Atari BASIC together with HDMI and modern gaming conveniences. In this announcement editorial, I take a look at what’s been revealed, what stands out, and why bringing back the computer experience makes this more interesting than just another box of retro games. THE 800XL includes 25 built-in games, USB loading for cartridge, disk, and cassette images, and announced software support for Atari’s 400, 800, XL, and XE computers, plus Atari 5200 games. Four save slots per game and up to 30 seconds of rewind bring some modern help to those vintage challenges. U.S. preorders opened October 8, 2026, at $219.99, with shipping scheduled to begin April 23, 2027. The package includes a THECXSTICK joystick. Did you grow up with an Atari computer? And would you use this for games, BASIC programming, or dusting off your old cartridges? Let me know in the comments!

Two series surprising viewers for very different reasons. What does this say about the current state of Trek on TV, and what’s […]

The Atari 7800 was an Atari console I entirely missed growing up. I was already into the 8-bit computers by the time it launched, so these versions of 80s classics are entirely new to me. Come along for the adventure as I take a first look at what made the 7800 ProSystem so different from […]
