Last week on Friday Plays, VENTURE on the ColecoVision showed just how much of the arcade game’s personality could make it home. But a lot of viewers told me something interesting: their version of VENTURE wasn’t on ColecoVision at all. It was on the Atari 2600. So in this video, I go back to VENTURE again — this time on older hardware, in a much more limited 4K cartridge conversion — to see how much of the adventure survived. It was never going to be a one-to-one match for the ColecoVision port, but that doesn’t mean there isn’t still a real game here. I look at what made it home, what had to be left behind, and why this version still deserves a fair look. #retrogaming #atari #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 - CHAPTERS 00:00 - Intro

“Troll” is such a strong word for this 2D platformer with nearly 240 uniquely inventive levels. Don’t let screaming YouTubers convince you that this game is unfair. It’s fair. Sure, there are buzzsaws but they’re NICE buzzsaws. You will curse the guy who made Level Devil then ask for more. #indiegame #vhs #video #genxgrownup - LINKS Level Devil on Steam » https://store.steampowered.com/app/3242750/Level_Devil/ - 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
