1987’s “Real Men” with Jim Belushi and John Ritter is an underappreciated 80s classic; and I set out to prove the point!  

The ’90s are calling—Bubsy is back! Atari and Fabraz just revealed Bubsy 4D, a brand-new platforming adventure bringing one of gaming’s most infamous mascots into the modern era. Whether you remember him fondly or not at all, Bubsy was a big part of the ’90s mascot wars—so what does his shocking return mean for retro gaming fans? That’s not the only headline this week: ? 8BitDo Pro 3 Controller is here! For $70, this premium pad combines retro design with modern tech, and handheld gamers are already calling it a must-buy. ?? Plus, a Mario Kart speedrunner just shattered a two-year-old world record by pulling off a trick that was thought to be humanly impossible. Thousands of attempts later, history has been made in the world of speedrunning. From Bubsy’s unlikely comeback to new controller releases and jaw-dropping Mario Kart world records, the retro gaming scene is buzzing louder than ever! ? Will Bubsy 4D redeem the ’90s mascot… or crash and burn? Let us know what you think in the comments! ?

Seaquest didn't fare so well in my Activison tier rankings, but I'm giving it a second look! See MORE Friday Plays NOW: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cujZkgEdEJ4&list=PL13zHeyDr6xswcm1YMnJivU0jefJIOLcb&ab_channel=GenXGrownUp Seaquest is an Atari 2600 video game designed by Steve Cartwright and published by Activision in 1983. The game is an underwater shooter in which the player controls a submarine on a mission to rescue divers. The player uses a submarine to shoot at enemies and rescue divers. Hazards include sharks which attack divers and the player and enemy submarines, which can shoot torpedoes at the player's submarine . The player must ward off the enemies by firing an unlimited supply of torpedoes while trying to rescue divers swimming through the water. The points awarded to the player for shooting an enemy starts at 10 points each, and increases as the game advances. The sub can hold up to six divers at a time. Each time the player resurfaces prior to having a full load of six divers, one of the divers is removed. The submarine has a limited amount of oxygen. The player must surface often in order to replenish the oxygen, but if the player resurfaces without any rescued divers, they will lose a life. If the player resurfaces with the maximum amount of divers, they will gain bonus points for the sub's remaining oxygen. Each time the player surfaces, the game's difficulty increases; enemies increase in number and speed. Eventually an enemy sub begins patrolling the surface, leaving the player without a safe haven. The player starts the game with 3 extra lives, and is awarded an additional extra life each time the player scores 10,000 points. Seaquest can be played single-player or with two players alternating turns. Like other Activision 2600 games, this one had a patch you can send in to get. It required you to get a score of 50,000. You would send in a photo of your game showing this, and they'd send you an "achievement patch". #atari #retrogaming #activision #genxgrownup - LINKS (relevant links mentioned in video) - 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
