Play Like It’s ’85 Again with this CUSTOM NES Controller Modernization & Restoration Kit

If you watch regularly, then you'll remember my buddy, Paul, who does 3D industrial design and runs an Etsy store full of cool enhancements for our gaming gadgets. He recently got a customer request for some new NES controller buttons, and Paul not only understood the assignment, but went for the extra credit with his NES Modernization & Refurb kit! Plus, a bonus NES item! #nintendo #retrogaming #genxgrownup - LINKS Paul's Store » https://www.etsy.com/shop/Innovative3DShop?ref=shop_sugg_market NES Refurb » https://www.etsy.com/listing/4300832858/classic-nes-modernizer-and-refurbishment NES Grip » https://www.etsy.com/listing/4300612359/classic-nes-grip-attachment-for-a Screw-In Sticks » https://www.etsy.com/listing/1824490859/joystick-accessory-set-for-the-atari CX-78 Button Relocator » https://www.etsy.com/listing/1841885528/button-1-relocator-only-for-your VCS Classic Joystick Balls » https://www.etsy.com/listing/1864893304/two-atari-vcs-ball-toppers-with-stand Pocket Player Grip » https://www.etsy.com/listing/1853515207/my-arcade-grip-accessory-for-pocket CX-40 Ball-Topper » https://www.etsy.com/listing/1851266999/two-atari-375mm-ball-toppers-for-cx-40 Arcade Stands & Toppers » https://www.etsy.com/listing/1837176894/dual-arcade-style-5130mm-tall-40mm-ball Bat-L-Zone Rig » https://www.etsy.com/listing/1837188962/bat-l-zone-tank-command-station-for GSP Ball Topper » https://www.etsy.com/listing/1851313515/two-gsp-40mm-ball-toppers-for-my-arcade Pole Position Wheel Expander » https://www.etsy.com/listing/1835583747/rubberized-2-steering-wheelcolor GR78+ Grip » https://www.etsy.com/listing/1828401057/gr78-grip-accessory-for-the-atari-cx78 CX78+ Joystick Kit » https://www.etsy.com/listing/1824490859/joystick-accessory-set-for-the-atari GSP Paddle v1 » https://www.etsy.com/listing/1761657381/atari-46mm-game-station-pro-easy-slip GSP Paddle v2 » https://www.etsy.com/listing/1776757816/atari-gsp-37mm-1-716-easy-slip-onoff - 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 - CHAPTERS 00:00 My Man Paul 01:20 NES Request 02:20 The Kit 04:45 Step by Step 08:07 One More Thing 09:55 Test Drive 11:17 Summary

Atari’s ASTEROIDS Got a 1998 REMAKE | Is It WORTH Going Back For?

You are an employee of the Astro-Mining Corporation. Your mission is to simply go to an assigned area of space and clear the area of asteroids and the occassional debris. Not that Jon would know any of that because he's NEVER played it! In this video, we fire up the 1998 PS1 Asteroids for the first time and see what it has to offer. The game consists of five zones, each with a different background and some with special features. Each zone has 15 levels. In addition to the standard asteroids, there are also mined asteroids that explode; indestructible asteroids that are, well, indestructible; fireball comets; crystal asteroids that regenerate; alien egg asteroids containing deadly baby space worms; and ancient energy asteroids that shoot back! And there's plenty of enemies in addition to the asteroids, such as Standard and Super Saucers, Asteroids Tugs, Fuel Transports, Hexes, Nuke Drivers, and Vulturoids. There are three types of ships to choose from, each with different strengths and weaknesses. There are also three skill levels. If you beat the game at Expert or higher, you gain access to a fourth type of ship. All ships features the standard laser, shield, flip (instantly flips your ship 180 degrees), and hyperspace. There are also limited power-ups you can pick up such as GunSat, Mines, Homing Missiles, Plasma Drill, and Trigger Bombs. The game supports either one or two players. In two player mode, the object is to simply outscore your opponent in a random zone and level. You cannot directly kill your opponent by shooting him, but there are other ways.... Lastly, if you shoot the classic-style asteroid in level 15 of the first zone, you'll find the option of "Classic Asteroids" now appearing on the main menu. #atari #asteroids #playstation #genxgrownup - SHOP https://www.amazon.com/dp/B086WTNR6L?tag=genxgrownup-20 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
