Another month of thrifting means another pile of retro treasures to share! This time I'm looking through the games, books, records, toys, gadgets, and oddball finds I picked up while digging through antique malls, thrift stores, flea markets, yard sales, and anywhere else old nerdy stuff might be hiding. Some of these are just fun additions to the collection, but others may turn into full GenXGrownUp videos down the road — so let me know what catches your eye. #thrift #vintage #retrogaming #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 June Pick-Ups 01:25 Grover Reads 01:56 B&R Lot 04:25 Mighty Mouse 05:13 Scholastic Frances 06:05 LEGO Puzzle 06:34 Vinyl LPs 08:22 Bionic Woman 10:22 Monster Times 10:56 Vintage D&D 11:38 Jack & Jill 12:24 Disney Sliders 12:49 ViewMaster 14:11 Stay Classy 15:21 Spidey 16:17 Excalibur SI 17:02 TomyPac

If you've watched my reviews, you've probably heard me complain when a retro handheld or tabletop arcade doesn't save high scores. But this isn't really about the scores themselves—it's about what they represented, and why that little feature was such an important part of the original arcade experience. Let's talk about what we've been trying to preserve all along. #retrogaming #arcadegames #highscore #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 Common Comment 01:15 Small but Important 02:05 What We're Chasing 03:10 The Challenge 04:09 Technical Argument 04:58 The Chase 05:37 What Are We Preserving? 07:12 Gadgets Aren't Arcades 08:03 The Irony 08:44 Why It Matters 09:15 Conclusion

Shop Fightbox » https://genxgrownup.com/fightbox For a while now, Venture has been one of the most requested games in my ColecoVision Friday Plays series. After hearing "Play Venture!" over and over in the comments, I finally took your advice. I expected one of the ColecoVision's finest arcade conversions. What I discovered was something even more interesting: a game with surprising depth, clever room-by-room design, and a reputation that suddenly made perfect sense. This week, I'm diving into Venture for the ColecoVision to see why this early Exidy arcade classic has remained such a favorite for more than four decades. - SHOP 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
