CULTIC LIVE: Did I Miss the Best Retro FPS Revival?

We’re jumping into CULTIC, a gritty retro-inspired FPS from Jasozz Games and 3D Realms that throws us into a twisted cult, hands us guns and dynamite, and dares us to survive. This one has all the right ingredients for a GenXGrownUp livestream: old-school shooter energy, dark horror atmosphere, fast combat, chunky pixel style, and probably more panic-reloading than I’d like to admit. Join us live as we crawl out of the grave and find out if CULTIC really is one of the best modern boomer shooters we somehow missed. Grab a snack, hang out with the GXG crew, and help us blast our way through the cultists! #CULTIC #RetroFPS #BoomerShooter #GenXGrownUp #LiveStream

Can I Rescue This 2005 Excalibur Space Invaders Mini Arcade?

Test drive Afterplay » https://genxgrownup.com/afterplay This 2005 Excalibur Space Invaders Mini Arcade looked too cool to leave behind at a toy show — even if I wasn’t completely sure it worked. Turns out, it only partially works. So today I’m cleaning it up, testing it, and trying to figure out whether this little tabletop arcade can be rescued. It has the look, it has the charm, and it definitely has a problem. But can I bring this broken invader back to life? #retrogaming #handheld #vintage #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 Thrifted Invaders 02:35 Hardware Tour 03:43 Power On & Test 06:13 Cleaning 10:05 Reset Button 11:48 Shenanigans 12:44 Diminishing Returns 13:30 Exemplar 14:15 Re-Assembled 15:17 Attempted Play 16:55 Are You the One?

I’ve Been Explaining Why High Scores Matter All Wrong

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

Did Sony Just Kill Game Ownership? + More Retro News!

Did Sony just give retro gaming a massive boost? ? This week on Bit By Bit, we’re talking about Sony’s plan to end physical disc production for new PlayStation games starting in 2028 and why that could make retro gaming, physical media, and old-school collecting even more important. We also dig into Evercade’s new Visco Arcade collections, the increasingly strange 3DO revival drama, a hidden Banjo-Kazooie musical surprise, a wild E-Ink Game Boy project, Donkey Kong 64 getting a native PC port, and the debate over AI-generated FPGA cores. If you love retro games, physical media, game preservation, weird hardware, and the occasional industry faceplant, this one’s packed. #RetroGaming #PlayStation #PhysicalGames #Evercade #BitByBit - LINKS Sony Physical Media - https://tinyurl.com/yyeve5mt Evercade Visco Arcade - https://tinyurl.com/4hru68ek 3DO Comeback Part 1 - https://tinyurl.com/3hz3834s 3DO Comeback Part 2 - https://tinyurl.com/yat5zvtr Banjo-Kazooie Secrets - https://tinyurl.com/ystfu725 E-Ink Game Boy - https://tinyurl.com/4t2awau9 Donkey Kong 64 Native PC Port - https://tinyurl.com/2h36fnc9 AI FPGA Cores - https://tinyurl.com/2zszuj8u - 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 - Intro 00:22 - Sony Physical Media 06:08 - Evercade Visco Arcade 07:31 - 3DO Comeback Part 1 09:17 - 3DO Comeback Part 2 10:58 - Banjo-Kazooie Secrets 13:13 - E-Ink Game Boy 14:13 - Donkey Kong 64 Native PC Port 15:05 - AI FPGA Cores

CULTIC LIVE: Escaping Mining Town… Into The Mine!

The CULTIC live playthrough continues this Thursday! This week, we’re finishing off The Mining Town map and then heading straight into The Mine, because apparently the only thing worse than fighting cultists in a creepy town is following them underground where everything is darker, tighter, and probably full of things trying to kill us. Join the GXG crew as we keep blasting our way through CULTIC’s brutal retro FPS chaos, survive more cultist madness, and find out what horrors are waiting below the surface. Come hang out, chat, and help guide me through another night of old-school shooter mayhem! #CULTIC #BoomerShooter #RetroFPS #IndieGames #HorrorFPS #PCGaming #LiveGameplay #GenXGrownUp
