Playtime Electronics released this "Flaming Inferno" LCD game in 1988, and that's almost all I can find out about it online! It's a bit of a Frogger knock-off, but worth giving a look. #retrogaming #handheld #lcd #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 Flaming Inferno 02:04 Hardware Tour 03:57 "No" Instructions 05:03 Checking the Guts 06:50 Battery & Screen 08:52 Game 11:56 Super Game 13:32 Game Again 15:06 Summary

I Want My Mommy is a video game for the Atari 2600 released in North America by Zimag in 1983. It is a platform game (then called climbing games by the US press). The game was given the KidStuff logo on the cover art; meaning it was aimed at children under the age of nine. Bootleg versions of the game were sold under three different names: Apples and Dolls by CCE, Teddy Apple by Home Vision, and Ursinho Esperto by CCE. #atari #retrogaming #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 King of Nerds » http://kingofnerds.tv Order of Cosmic Champions » http://www.orderofcosmicchampions.com

Carmageddon is back and bloodier than ever! ?? In this episode of Bit By Bit, we’re diving into Carmageddon: Rogue Shift, the new roguelite spin on the classic death-racing series, heading to PS5, Xbox Series, PC, and Nintendo Switch 2 in early 2026. We’ll talk post-apocalyptic zombie hordes, brutal car combat, and whether this new direction can really bring Carmageddon roaring back to life. Then we’re jumping over to Stranger Things season 5, where a “totally unforgivable” NES blooper has retro gamers laughing, groaning, and nitpicking frame-by-frame. We’ll break down the Ghosts ’n Goblins arcade/console mix-up and why tiny details like this matter so much to ’80s kids and cartridge purists. Finally, we look at a decade-long retrobrighting study that suggests our beloved console-whitening tricks might actually be doing more harm than good. From a poor Dreamcast shell to streaking, blotching, and worse yellowing over time, we’ll talk about what this means for restoring (or not restoring) your aging plastic hardware. If you love retro gaming, weird tech experiments, and catching every tiny on-screen mistake, you’re in the right place. Hit play, share with a fellow retro nut, and let us know in the comments: Are you hyped for Carmageddon: Rogue Shift—and will you still risk retrobrighting your gear?

Bubsy is back… and somehow this comeback is looking way more interesting than anyone expected ?? In this week’s Bit By Bit, we’re digging into Bubsy 4D and why its “subvert expectations” energy might actually land when it hits PC + consoles on May 22, 2026. Then we pivot to some seriously cool retro hardware: an Atari ST mini-style build called the MiniST—an FPGA-powered passion project with MiSTeryNano vibes, HDMI output, and that clean black wedge look… but with an initial run of only five units ??? And finally, we take a respectful moment for the retro community as New Wave Toys shares a difficult update following the passing of founder Shilo Prychak. We’ll talk about what’s been shared, what it could mean for future projects, and why his work mattered to so many of us ??? ?
