8BitDo’s NES40 drop is here—and that $499 Retro 68 Keyboard is the lightning rod. We break down what you actually get (aluminum build, Ice Cream Pro Max switches, 300-hour battery), plus the rest of the NES40 set: the limited-run Ultimate 2 N40 controller and the $49.99 Retro Cube 2 speaker. Launch windows, pricing, and the 1,985-unit cap inside. Also in the show: the Friday the 13th devs are back with Halloween: The Game—asymmetrical slasher mayhem with Michael Myers stalking Haddonfield, targeting a 2026 release. What’s new vs F13, and will rights issues stay clear this time? And we check in with Ron Gilbert (Monkey Island): he “never stops thinking about adventure games,” but won’t make another point-and-click just for nostalgia as his roguelike Death By Scrolling nears release—what that means for classic adventure fans.

Dracula - The Undead is a video game released in 1991 for the Atari Lynx handheld system. The game is loosely based on Bram Stoker's novel Dracula and features Bram Stoker in the story as the narrator. The player takes on the role of Jonathan Harker as he explores and later tries to escape from Dracula's Castle. In the game you wake up and can explore the castle by moving from room to room. The game controls are like those of a point and click, where you can interact with a certain number items in each room. You can also talk and interact with other NPC characters. Certain choices can end with death and a The End screen, requiring the player to start over. The player's ability to achieve the best ending depends his or her ability to take notes of important facts and events with Harker's notebook. #atari #retrogaming #spooky #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 King of Nerds » http://kingofnerds.tv Order of Cosmic Champions » http://www.orderofcosmicchampions.com

Atari on a Game Boy… in 2025? Yep. ModRetro’s new Atari ’90s Rewind Collection drops three classics—Asteroids, Centipede, and Super Breakout—remastered in full color with fresh soundtracks on the Chromatic cartridge system, priced at $99.99. It’s designed for Chromatic but also works on original GB/GBC and Analogue Pocket, giving handheld retro a legit glow-up. Plus: Saturn fans—there’s a new SAROO firmware with slick features (cheats, media players, Photo CD support, config editing), but early reports say proceed with caution due to caveats and instability. We’ll unpack what’s great and what to skip—at least for now. And to cap it off, the Indie Horror Showcase 2025 returns Oct 23 at 10am PT / 1pm ET, co-hosted by John Wolfe and BigGaming64, with fresh reveals from horror publishers. We’ll preview what to watch. If you dig retro news with real talk, hit like & subscribe, and drop your take: colorized Atari on GB—genius or gimmick?

The Aquarius is a home computer designed by Radofin and released by Mattel Electronics in 1983. Based on the Zilog Z80 microprocessor, the system has a rubber chiclet keyboard, 4 kB of RAM, and a subset of Microsoft BASIC in ROM. It connects to a television set for audiovisual output, and uses a cassette tape recorder for secondary data storage. A limited number of peripherals, such as a 40-column thermal printer, a 4-color printer/plotter, and a 300 baud modem, were released. The Aquarius was discontinued in October 1983, only a few months after it was launched. #retrogames #mattel #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 King of Nerds » http://kingofnerds.tv Order of Cosmic Champions » http://www.orderofcosmicchampions.com - CHAPTERS 00:00 Mattel Aquarius? 00:35 Cool Daughter 02:28 All the Stuff 03:22 Aquarius PC 06:13 Mini Expander Kit 07:33 Memory Expansion 08:02 Nightstalker 09:39 Assembly 11:43 Power On 12:05 BASIC Programming 13:02 Nightstalker
