GAME, SET, GLOW! Tomy’s Forgotten Handheld Tennis Game

This time, we're taking a look at the Tomytronic Tennis handheld from 1980—a fascinating piece of gaming history that put an electronic tennis match right in the palm of your hand. If you enjoy retro gaming, vintage electronics, handheld history, and obscure gaming curiosities, you're in the right place. What handheld electronic games do you remember from the pre-Game Boy era?

Did Sony Just Kill Game Ownership? + More Retro News!

Did Sony just give retro gaming a massive boost? ? This week on Bit By Bit, we’re talking about Sony’s plan to end physical disc production for new PlayStation games starting in 2028 and why that could make retro gaming, physical media, and old-school collecting even more important. We also dig into Evercade’s new Visco Arcade collections, the increasingly strange 3DO revival drama, a hidden Banjo-Kazooie musical surprise, a wild E-Ink Game Boy project, Donkey Kong 64 getting a native PC port, and the debate over AI-generated FPGA cores. If you love retro games, physical media, game preservation, weird hardware, and the occasional industry faceplant, this one’s packed. #RetroGaming #PlayStation #PhysicalGames #Evercade #BitByBit - LINKS Sony Physical Media - https://tinyurl.com/yyeve5mt Evercade Visco Arcade - https://tinyurl.com/4hru68ek 3DO Comeback Part 1 - https://tinyurl.com/3hz3834s 3DO Comeback Part 2 - https://tinyurl.com/yat5zvtr Banjo-Kazooie Secrets - https://tinyurl.com/ystfu725 E-Ink Game Boy - https://tinyurl.com/4t2awau9 Donkey Kong 64 Native PC Port - https://tinyurl.com/2h36fnc9 AI FPGA Cores - https://tinyurl.com/2zszuj8u - 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 - Intro 00:22 - Sony Physical Media 06:08 - Evercade Visco Arcade 07:31 - 3DO Comeback Part 1 09:17 - 3DO Comeback Part 2 10:58 - Banjo-Kazooie Secrets 13:13 - E-Ink Game Boy 14:13 - Donkey Kong 64 Native PC Port 15:05 - AI FPGA Cores

Death Trap on Atari 2600 Is WAY Better Than You’ve Heard

Try Afterplay: https://genxgrownup.com/afterplay Death Trap for the Atari 2600 has a pretty rough reputation, but after spending real time with it, I think that reputation misses what makes this game so interesting. Released by Avalon Hill in 1983, Death Trap is a surprisingly sophisticated score chase built around a finite mission. You’re not just trying to survive until your reflexes fail — you’re trying to complete the mission as efficiently as possible, while managing damage, guiding your own torpedoes, avoiding shrinking shields, and maximizing your score along the way. In this Friday Plays, we take a closer look at one of the Atari 2600’s more unusual and overlooked games and find out why Death Trap deserves a lot more credit than it usually gets. #atari #retrogaming #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
