The Atari Game Select Matrix: an UNSUNG HERO of the Atari 2600

If you’ve ever flipped through an old Atari manual, you might have noticed those mysterious charts and grids. But what do they mean? In this video, Jon breaks down what he asserts is an underappreciated facet of Atari artwork. #atari #retrogaming #vintage #genxgrownup ?

Shark! Shark! for Mattel Intellivision | Surprisingly So-FISH-ticated for 1982!

Maybe the first fish-eat-fish free-swim game ever, and it's from 1982! Watch MORE Friday Plays NOW: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OHthXmf6Fnc&list=PL13zHeyDr6xswcm1YMnJivU0jefJIOLcb&ab_channel=GenXGrownUp Shark! Shark! is an Intellivision game originally designed by Don Daglow, and with additional design and programming by Ji-Wen Tsao, one of the first female game programmers in the history of video games. The player is a fish who must eat smaller fishes in order to gain points and extra lives while avoiding enemies such as larger fishes, sharks, jellyfish, lobsters and crabs. After eating a certain number of fish, the player's fish grows in size and is thus able to eat a larger selection of fish. However, while the larger fish becomes a bit faster, he is less agile than the small fish and has a harder time avoiding enemies. Shark! Shark! was originally considered by Mattel to be a cute game for kids and unlikely to make strong inroads into the gaming community.[citation needed] The game was unexpectedly popular, forcing Mattel to quickly manufacture another batch of cartridges. The original cartridge run was only 5,600 units. #intellivision #atari #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

Radio Shack’s 1989 RACEWAY has a SLOT MACHINE Mini-Game?!

In 1989, Radio Shack released this handheld LCD racing game. Oddly, despite when it was released, it almost feels like a late '70s or early '80s release.

Is this a bold move or just nostalgia bait? Plus, we’ve got a look at the first serious rivals to the Nintendo Switch 2: the new Xbox handheld prototypes are real, and they look ready to compete!
