Shop Fightbox: https://genxgrownup.com/fightbox This week on Friday Plays, I take to the skies with Snoopy and the Red Baron for the Atari 2600. Released late in the console’s original life, this licensed Peanuts game looks surprisingly polished and turns Snoopy’s famous Flying Ace routine into a colorful dogfight filled with falling treats, risky pickups, and one very good idea Atari may have asked to carry the entire game. Thanks to regular viewer Miss Raven LaRue for the suggestion! #atari #retrogaming #snoopy - 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

The CULTIC live playthrough continues this Thursday! This week, we’re finishing off The Mining Town map and then heading straight into The Mine, because apparently the only thing worse than fighting cultists in a creepy town is following them underground where everything is darker, tighter, and probably full of things trying to kill us. Join the GXG crew as we keep blasting our way through CULTIC’s brutal retro FPS chaos, survive more cultist madness, and find out what horrors are waiting below the surface. Come hang out, chat, and help guide me through another night of old-school shooter mayhem! #CULTIC #BoomerShooter #RetroFPS #IndieGames #HorrorFPS #PCGaming #LiveGameplay #GenXGrownUp

Microsoft’s latest round of gaming layoffs has reportedly gutted id Software, drastically reducing the legendary studio behind DOOM and Quake—and co-founder John Carmack admits his prediction that Microsoft would be a good steward of the company isn’t aging particularly well. Plus, Activision and Imagic classics are packing a colorful new Super Pocket, someone has successfully booted Linux on the Atari Jaguar, and a massive LEGO Donkey Kong arcade set has apparently leaked ahead of its official reveal. We’re also covering Commodore’s surprisingly successful Callback phone, Atari’s new Centipede Swarm for Amazon Luna, four new Game Boy and Game Boy Advance additions to Nintendo Switch Online, and Valve’s simple official fix for the Steam Machine’s dreaded “Red Line of Death.” Which story surprised you the most?

Shop X-Arcade: https://genxgrownup.com/xgaming Digital games are convenient, but convenience isn’t ownership.

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
