1988 Blaster Master on the NES | An Early METROIDVANIA?

Blaster Master is a platform and run and gun video game released by Sunsoft for the Nintendo Entertainment System. It is a localized version of a Japanese Famicom game titled Ch? Wakusei Senki Metafight (???????????, lit. "Super Planetary War Chronicle: Metafight", also simply called Metafight), which was released on June 17, 1988. The game was released in North America in November 1988 and in Europe on April 25, 1991. The game is the first in the Blaster Master series, and it spawned two spin-off games as well as two sequels. Not that Jon would know any of that, though, since he's NEVER played Blaster Master. In this second experimental video, Jon fires up Blaster Master for the first time to see what all the fuss is about! The game features a character named Jason who follows his pet frog Fred down a hole in the earth. There he finds a tank and uses it to battle radioactive mutants. The player controls Jason and the tank Sophia the 3rd through eight levels of gameplay to find the whereabouts of Fred and to defeat the mutants and their leader, the Plutonium Boss. The game was praised for its smooth play control and level designs, detailed and clean graphics, and music, and it was criticized for its high difficulty level and lack of passwords or save points. The game was novelized by Peter Lerangis, as part of the Worlds of Power series published by Scholastic Books. #nintendo #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 King of Nerds » http://kingofnerds.tv Order of Cosmic Champions » http://www.orderofcosmicchampions.com

PENGO on Atari 2600 | Penguins, Panic, and Pure Arcade Chaos

Numskull Facebook Group » https://genxgrownup.com/fbqa Pengo is a 1982 maze video game developed by Coreland and published by Sega for arcades. The player controls Pengo, a red penguin who resides in the Antarctic. The game takes place in an overhead maze made of ice blocks, where Pengo crushes blob-like Sno-Bees by sliding blocks into them. The objective is to survive each round by eliminating all Sno-Bees and Sno-Bee eggs, while optionally lining up the three diamond blocks to earn a large score bonus. Pengo was ported to the Atari 2600 in 1984. #atari #retrogaming #console #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 Numskull Facebook Group » https://genxgrownup.com/fbqa G'AIM'E Time Crisis » http://genxgrownup.com/gaime King of Nerds » http://kingofnerds.tv Order of Cosmic Champions » http://www.orderofcosmicchampions.com

? Atari’s “playable hotel” plans in Phoenix are giving me major bad-vibes. A gaming resort with an esports venue, a sportsbook, nightlife… and an investment push?

Grips, Sticks, & Triggers on Your PHONE? Possible with PuK!

Shop Puk » http://genxgrownup.com/puk PuK Gaming makes a modular set of mobile-gaming accessories designed to replace awkward touchscreen controls with physical, console-style inputs. Their flagship item is the PuK Thumbstick, a magnetic joystick that sits over the on-screen virtual stick and gives you real analog-style movement without lag or screen damage. They pair that with PuK Triggers, attachable physical shoulder buttons that mimic controller L/R taps for shooters, and PuK Grips* ergonomic handles that clip onto your phone to make long sessions more comfortable. They also sell a PuK Link Cable with a reinforced 90° connector designed to stay out of the way during gameplay. The key idea behind PuK’s product line is flexibility: instead of buying a single bulky controller shell, you mix and match only the accessories you want. Whether you need just a thumbstick for better aim in shooters, a couple of triggers for faster firing, or a full grip-and-trigger combo for long sessions, each piece works independently. The ecosystem is designed to turn a standard smartphone into something that feels much more like a handheld console, but without losing the portability of mobile gaming. #handheld #mobilegaming #retrogaming #genxgrownup - SHOP Shop Puk » http://genxgrownup.com/puk 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 - CHAPTERS 00:00 PuK 01:43 The Collection 02:27 Zipcase 02:53 Thumb Sleeves 05:32 TheGrips 07:58 Link Cable 09:13 Triggers 11:34 TheThumbstick 14:55 Summary
