Shop X-Arcade: https://genxgrownup.com/xgaming Digital games are convenient, but convenience isn’t ownership. Let’s talk about why physical media still matters, what changes when games are tied to accounts and storefronts, and why the things on our shelves still have a story to tell. - 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 Physical is Dead! 01:45 A Library 02:43 Meaning of Ownership 03:49 The Tradeoff 05:21 Fragility of Access 06:25 Temporary Menu 07:01 Preservation 09:01 Leaving Evidence 10:31 Not For Everyone 11:45 Not Just Nostalgia

Shop Fightbox: https://genxgrownup.com/fightbox After two straight weeks of Venture on Friday Plays, I thought I had a pretty good handle on how this arcade classic translated to home consoles. ColecoVision gave us the more faithful arcade-style version, and Atari 2600 showed how much of the idea could survive on much simpler hardware. But after those episodes, the comments kept coming in: “You need to try Venture on Intellivision.” So this week, the Summer of Venture continues with the Intellivision port — a version that may not be the most arcade-accurate, but might just be the one I had the most fun playing. - 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

Test drive Afterplay » https://genxgrownup.com/afterplay This 2005 Excalibur Space Invaders Mini Arcade looked too cool to leave behind at a toy show — even if I wasn’t completely sure it worked. Turns out, it only partially works. So today I’m cleaning it up, testing it, and trying to figure out whether this little tabletop arcade can be rescued. It has the look, it has the charm, and it definitely has a problem. But can I bring this broken invader back to life? #retrogaming #handheld #vintage #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 - CHAPTERS 00:00 Thrifted Invaders 02:35 Hardware Tour 03:43 Power On & Test 06:13 Cleaning 10:05 Reset Button 11:48 Shenanigans 12:44 Diminishing Returns 13:30 Exemplar 14:15 Re-Assembled 15:17 Attempted Play 16:55 Are You the One?

The CULTIC chaos continues! This Thursday, we’re jumping back into this brutal retro-inspired FPS and picking things up with Map #2: “The Shipyard.” Last time we crawled out of the grave, got our bearings, and started blasting our way through cult territory. Now we’re headed into the docks, where I’m sure everything will be perfectly safe, calm, and absolutely not full of cultists trying to ruin our evening. Come hang out with the GXG crew as we continue our CULTIC live playthrough, get into more old-school FPS mayhem, and see just how badly The Shipyard wants us dead. #CULTIC #RetroFPS #BoomerShooter #LiveStream #GenXGrownUp
