I picked up this 2007 JAKKS Pacific PAC-MAN plug-and-play at the Southern Fried Gaming Expo and had to take a closer look. Eight classic Namco games, one weird joystick, and one VERY big green button — let’s see how this little piece of plug-and-play history holds up. #pacman #retrogaming #handheld #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 - CHAPTERS 00:00 JAKKS Pac 01:40 Hardware Overview 04:50 Clean Up 05:55 Power On 08:47 Pac-Man Plus 09:57 Pac & Pal 10:52 Super Pac-Man 12:00 Galaxian 12:44 Dig Dug 13:37 New Rally-X 14:38 Bosconian 16:00 Conclusion

In this video, we go back to 1978 and the story behind Space Invaders: how one Japanese designer, Tomohiro Nishikado, built the game (and even the hardware to run it), why those aliens speed up as you shoot them, and how a simple shooter turned arcades into a global obsession. Where the idea came from The happy accident that created the game's famous tension How it took over arcades, pizza parlors, and bowling alleys everywhere Why it still matters to anyone who ever begged for one more quarter If you spent your childhood hunched over a cabinet with a pocket full of change, this one's for you. #SpaceInvaders #RetroGaming #ArcadeHistory #GenX #80sNostalgia #VideoGameHistory #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 - CHAPTERS 00:00 - Intro 00:30 - Welcome 00:50 - Tomohiro Nishikado 02:46 - Western Gun 03:48 - Discrete Circuit Boards 04:39 - Creation of Space Invaders 05:35 - A Happy Accident 06:17 - Space Invaders Launches 06:47 - Atari 2600 Impact 07:19 - Impact 08:05 - Close
