As I read comments, I often see the recurring suggestion that gaming – particularly nostalgic retrogaming that we care most about – has become far too expensive. I’ve been giving this a lot of thought, and I’m not really sure I agree with that sentiment – but probably not for the reasons you might think. […]

Atari launched their Video Computer System - later rebranded as the 2600 - in September 1977 with just nine available cartridges. As demand grew, they knew they'd need to keep adding new offerings to the library, so in year two of the console's life, Atari added eleven new titles to the catalog. In this video, I'll be ranking every VCS game Atari released in 1978. #atari #ranked #1978 #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 King of Nerds » http://kingofnerds.tv Order of Cosmic Champions » http://www.orderofcosmicchampions.com - CHAPTERS 00:00 Atari VCS Launch 01:02 1978 Release Rules 01:35 Basketball 02:24 Brain Games 03:21 Breakout 04:21 Codebreaker 05:12 Flag Capture 05:58 Hangman 07:18 Home Run 08:08 Hunt & Score 08:59 Outlaw 09:56 Slot Racers 10:55 Space War 11:57 Summary

Asterix is a typical side scrolling platform game where either Asterix or Obelix must navigate through each stage, in most stages the player must locate a key that will open a door at the end of the stage, some stages a boss must be defeated to complete the stage. Not that Jon would know any of that, though, since he's NEVER played Asterix. In this experimental video, Jon first up Asterix for the first time to see what all the fuss is about! The game is broken up into 8 different areas with between 1 and 3 stages in each area. The player starts with 3 lives and 3 health points, a health point is lost if the character is hit by an enemy a live is lost if all health points are lost or the character falls down a hole. Health points can be obtained by picking up certain items during the game. When certain bosses are defeated a heart is obtained, collecting this heart increases the health capacity by one point. The character can have up to 6 health points. #sega #retrogaming #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 King of Nerds » http://kingofnerds.tv Order of Cosmic Champions » http://www.orderofcosmicchampions.com - CHAPTERS
