One little metal ball. A whole obstacle course. And every move is up to you. After I featured TOMY’s Magnetic Pac-Man Maze https://youtu.be/fCBA0-q2p9Y , so many of you mentioned Screwball Scramble that I had to revisit the game I remembered from my school library as Run Yourself Ragged! This vintage TOMY game puts a miniature mechanical obstacle course at your fingertips, with buttons, levers, and a dial controlling everything from seesaws and parallel bars to a hidden maze and the final launch toward the bell. No batteries. Just skill—and maybe a little patience. Join me for a look at its history, how Run Yourself Ragged connects to Screwball Scramble, and some hands-on attempts to guide that little ball all the way to the finish! #boardgames #vintage #tomy #genxgrownup - SHOP Screwball Scramble: https://link.amazon/B0hs6uOlj Screwball Scramble L2: https://us.tomy.com/screwball-scramble-2 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 Order of Cosmic Champions » http://www.orderofcosmicchampions.com King of Nerds » http://kingofnerds.tv - CHAPTERS 00:00 Pac-to-Screwball 01:30 Box & Assembly 03:00 Course Tour 05:48 Real-Time Run 07:45 Conclusion

The NeoGeo AES+ was delayed—but how close did it come to disappearing entirely? Plaion reveals how an AI-driven chip shortage threatened the retro console’s future and forced a redesign to keep the project alive. In Bit By Bit episode 153, we also explore Evercade’s upcoming James Pond, The Last Ninja and International Karate collections, an Atari 2600 cartridge build for the Myst demake, and the arrival of Nightdive’s SiN: Reloaded. Then we step inside Pokémon Snap through an unofficial Quest VR project, explore the Atari computer that might have been through JagOS, celebrate the recovery of a long-lost Xevious commercial, and check out GameStop’s Capcom Super Pocket bundle. Does the new explanation restore your confidence in the NeoGeo AES+, or has the wait changed your mind?

Evil sorcerers, giant spiders, and an army of walking trees? Welcome to NECROMANCER, a wonderfully bizarre Atari 8-bit game from 1982! Developed by Bill Williams and published by Synapse Software, this spooky arcade adventure is a little more complicated than it first appears. Its three interconnected stages mean that what you do early in the game can come back to haunt you later! I spent countless hours playing Necromancer on my Atari computer as a kid, but without the instruction manual, I never quite understood how everything fit together. More than 40 years later, I'm returning to this childhood favorite with a little more knowledge and a lot of nostalgia. Will that make a difference? With the newly announced THE 800XL recreation on the horizon, I'm excited to revisit more Atari 8-bit classics on Friday Plays. And what better time than October to dust off this creepy, imaginative adventure? #atari #necromancer #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 Order of Cosmic Champions » http://www.orderofcosmicchampions.com King of Nerds » http://kingofnerds.tv
