ATARI is asking nearly $1,000 for its new collection of 39 physical ACTIVISION cartridge re-releases — and plenty of people are calling that price outrageous. But is it really? Rather than argue about whether $1,000 simply feels like too much, I decided to run the numbers. In this video, I compare Atari’s new collection with what these same games cost when they were originally released, what those prices represent in today’s dollars, and what it would cost now to assemble the same 39-game collection using original cartridges, boxes, and manuals. The results put that $999.96 price tag into a very different perspective. What do you think? Is Atari charging too much, or does the price make more sense once you see the comparison?

Shop Fightbox: https://genxgrownup.com/fightbox Forty years ago, now, a Russian software engineer wrote a simple puzzle game in his spare time. It featured a variety of geometric shapes falling into a well, and in short order, the world was in love with his creation. In this episode, we dive into one of the most iconic and enduring video games of all time, Tetris.

Thirty-nine classic Activision games are coming back on real Atari cartridges, including Pitfall!, River Raid, MegaMania, Kaboom! and more. With individual editions starting at $34.99 and an Ultimate Deluxe Set containing all 39 cartridges for just under $1,000, is this the ultimate retro collector’s dream—or has Atari gone too far?

We’ve also got the return of Piko Interactive Collection 1 for Evercade, six classic Alien Breed games coming together for the series’ 35th anniversary, and a new $230 RetroTINK-6X CE bringing 1440p upscaling to retro consoles.

Shop X-Arcade: https://genxgrownup.com/xgaming Atari just announced a massive new Activision collection bringing 39 classic games back on physical cartridges — but if your goal is simply to play a bunch of those Activision favorites, there’s now a much less expensive option. The new HyperMegaTech Activision Edition Super Pocket packs 34 classic games into a $69.99 handheld, including Pitfall!, H.E.R.O., River Raid, Keystone Kapers, Kaboom!, Chopper Command, Seaquest, Pressure Cooker, and plenty more. In this video, I take a close look at the Activision Super Pocket, check out its fantastic retro-inspired design, play through a selection of the included games, and compare its lineup with both Atari’s newly announced Activision releases and the three existing Evercade Activision cartridges. How much overlap is there? What’s missing? And if you mainly want to PLAY these games rather than collect new physical releases, could this little handheld be the better value? Let’s find out. #atari #evercade #retrogaming #activision - SHOP Pre-Order from Songbird » https://genxgrownup.com/songbird-spa Paul's Etsy Shop » https://www.etsy.com/shop/Innovative3DShop?ref=dashboard-header&section_id=59455531 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 Activision Edition 02:15 Game Breakdown 04:27 Box & Contents 05:13 Hardware Tour 08:13 Power On 09:52 Chopper Command 11:37 Demon Attack 13:17 Enduro 13:48 HERO 15:04 Keystone Kapers 15:48 Megamania 17:21 Pitfall II 17:58 River Raid 19:20 Starmaster 21:25 Conclusion

Originally released by Exidy in the arcade in 1982, Pepper II looks at first like another Pac-Man-era maze game — but the four interconnected mazes, zipper mechanic, and push-pull battle over your progress give it a personality all its own. The ColecoVision version became the only officially released home port, and after overlooking it for years, I may have found a new favorite. And while we’re at it… if this is Pepper II, where exactly was Pepper I? Join me for another Friday Plays as we take a closer look at Pepper II for the ColecoVision. #retrogaming #colecovision #arcade #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
