BURGERTIME on ColecoVision | It’s Got Some SECRET SAUCE!

Shop X-Arcade: https://genxgrownup.com/xgaming BurgerTime has long been considered one of the best arcade conversions available for the ColecoVision, but after spending some time with it on Friday Plays, I discovered something I wasn't expecting. Not only does this home version faithfully recreate the classic Data East arcade game, but in some ways it may actually control better than the original. The movement feels precise, the ladder navigation is predictable, and the overall experience is remarkably polished for a game released over 40 years ago. #retrogaming #arcade #burgertime #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

The Never-Ending PAC-MAN Pipeline

Shop Fizz: https://genxgrownup.com/shopfizz Every time we cover a Pac-Man handheld or any Pac-Man gadget really, anything that has a standalone version of Pac-Man in it, I invariably get viewer comments that ask often condescendingly and rhetorically, but it will ask, "Really? How many times are they going to give us Pac-Man again?" Well, if you strip away the baggage from that, it is a valid question. And in looking at this new color handheld from Fizz, I'm going to try to answer that question and more. #pacman #retrogaming #handheld #genxgrownup - SHOP Shop Fizz: https://genxgrownup.com/shopfizz 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 Pac-Man Again? 00:44 Reasons Why 02:25 Why This One? 03:39 Box & Contents 07:15 Hardware Tour 09:02 WIN a Pac-Watch! 09:55 Power On 12:43 Screen 15:20 Act I 16:26 High Score? 17:07 Summary

The BEST Home Pac-Man of the Early ’80s… Was NEVER Released!

Is This PONG CLONE from 1983 Still FUN to Play Today? | Bentley Electronics Compu-Vision 440

Shop Fightbox: https://genxgrownup.com/fightbox Released in 1983, the Bentley Compu-Vision arrived at a very strange moment in video game history. By then, the industry had already moved beyond simple Pong-style systems and into cartridge-based consoles like the Atari 2600 and ColecoVision, making the Compu-Vision feel almost like a throwback the moment it hit store shelves. Despite the futuristic name and sleek woodgrain styling, this was still a dedicated first-generation “Pong clone” console, featuring built-in paddle games like Tennis, Soccer, Squash, and Solo Handball. In this video, we’re going to clean up this forgotten piece of early ’80s gaming history, see if it still works more than 40 years later, and put it through its paces on a modern display. Was the Bentley Compu-Vision truly “too little, too late” for 1983, or is there still some fun hidden inside this late-era Pong machine? Let’s hook it up and find out. - 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 1983 Compu-Vision 01:45 Box & Contents 04:52 Manual 06:02 Hardware Tour 07:38 Cleanup 10:35 Power On 13:20 Game Samples 18:18 Summary
