This week on Bit By Bit, Atari makes another big retro move by acquiring rights tied to the first five Wizardry games. Is this just another classic IP pickup, or is Atari quietly building something much bigger in the retro gaming space? We’re also covering Super Mario 64 running on Game Boy Advance, a pocket-sized GameCube made from real Nintendo hardware, the delayed THEA1200 Amiga-style retro computer, Takashi Tezuka retiring from Nintendo, new Neo Geo AES+ details, possible retired Evercade cartridges returning, and the open-source Game Bub FPGA handheld. Eight bits of retro gaming news from the past week — all that and just a little bit more, right here on Bit By Bit! ?? #Atari #Wizardry #RetroGaming #BitByBit #SuperMario64 #GameBoyAdvance #GameCube #Amiga #NeoGeo #Evercade #Nintendo #FPGAHandheld #RetroNews - LINKS Atari Acquires Wizardry - https://tinyurl.com/522kt3pe Keychain GameCube - https://tinyurl.com/bdhtjke5 Evercade News - https://tinyurl.com/mr793pct Super Mario 64 GBA - https://tinyurl.com/3rjtv72k A1200 Pushed Back - https://tinyurl.com/5zbmm45d Neo Geo AES+ Questions - https://tinyurl.com/437tffh9 Takashi Tezuka Retires - https://tinyurl.com/3wtyttx7 Game Bub - https://tinyurl.com/nuv8wj8x - 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 0:22 - Atari Acquires Wizardry 4:31 - Keychain GameCube 6:21 - Evercade News 7:19 - Super Mario 64 GBA 8:33 - A1200 Pushed Back 9:51 - Neo Geo AES+ Questions 11:18 - Takashi Tezuka Retires 12:20 - Game Bub

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

Shop Fightbox » https://genxgrownup.com/fightbox Some arcade games emulate beautifully at home… until you try to control them. In this video, we’re taking a look at the new FightBox R10 Dual Flight Stick, a specialty arcade controller designed for games where the controls are part of the identity of the experience. This is not the controller I’d grab first for Pac-Man, Donkey Kong, or Street Fighter — but for games like Robotron: 2084, Smash TV, Battlezone, Assault, and Tron, having dual sticks, triggers, and a spinner can make all the difference. We helped FightBox design this controller to solve a very specific arcade problem: those unusual classics that never feel quite right on a standard joystick, keyboard, mouse, or gamepad. So let’s put it through its paces and see how close it gets to the original arcade feel. - SHOP Fightbox » https://genxgrownup.com/fightbox 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 The Toolbox 01:25 The Solution 02:08 Hardware Tour 05:19 Robotron 06:52 Assault 08:20 Battlezone 09:24 Black Widow 10:17 After Burner 11:21 Arkanoid 12:54 Tempest 14:07 Lost Tomb 15:28 Tron 19:03 Discs of Tron 21:04 Summary

The CULTIC live playthrough continues as we try to finish off The Chapel boss stage and deal with the massive tank enemy standing between us and whatever nightmare comes next. This retro-inspired FPS has already thrown cultists, crypts, mines, and all kinds of chaos at us — but now we’re apparently fighting heavy machinery in a chapel. Seems reasonable. Join the GXG crew live as we push through another round of boomer shooter mayhem, panic reloads, questionable aim, and old-school FPS carnage. Come hang out, chat with us, and help me survive the Chapel! #CULTIC #RetroFPS #BoomerShooter #HorrorFPS #LiveStream #PCGaming #IndieGames #RetroGaming #GenXGrownUp #GXG

Welcome back to my ever-evolving comic reviews. Each week I will review a few new releases you may have missed on new comic Wednesday. As things change, mostly my mood, so will this column. Some weeks may be several new comics from various publishers or sometimes just one. There might be a time when it’s […]

My anticipation for Pixels had been ramping up for over a year. Still riding on the high of 2012’s classic gaming themed Wreck-It Ralph (which, if seeing it nearly a dozen times in the theater and dozens more at home counts as liking it, then I liked it), I was eager to see what would come […]
