Atari has struck a deal to develop movies based on ten of its classic games—but how do you turn Pong, Breakout, Asteroids, or Centipede into a full-length film? Is Hollywood sitting on a gold mine of untapped retro gaming ideas, or has it officially run out of stories? We also look at original Xbox games making the jump to PC, LEGO’s surprisingly playable Donkey Kong arcade cabinet, Anbernic’s modern take on the Game Boy Advance SP, experimental Dreamcast support for MiSTer FPGA, a new 16-bit game from veteran Amiga developers, the FBI’s investigation into malware-infected Steam games, and the newly revealed Mangmi Air Y handhelds. It’s eight bits of the biggest retro gaming news from the past week, all packed into one episode of Bit By Bit! #Atari #RetroGaming #GamingNews #BitByBit #Xbox #DonkeyKong #Anbernic #Dreamcast #MiSTerFPGA #Steam - LINKS Atari / Universal 10-Film Deal - https://tinyurl.com/4j6tzxxh Xbox/PC Compatibility - https://tinyurl.com/2vh2m69v Lego DK Official Reveal - https://tinyurl.com/4nh3h64a Anbernic RG SP Reveal - https://tinyurl.com/4vdfmtnp DreamSTer - https://tinyurl.com/mn6jwvbt UrbX Warriors - https://tinyurl.com/y65fnxec Steam Game Hacking - https://tinyurl.com/4jbfxb48 Mangmi Air Y & Air Y Pro - https://tinyurl.com/5f55h7ru - 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 00:22 - Atari / Universal 10-Film Deal 04:41 - Xbox/PC Compatibility 06:26 - Lego DK Official Reveal 09:04 - Anbernic RG SP Reveal 11:12 - DreamSTer 12:58 - UrbX Warriors 14:06 - Steam Game Hacking 16:47 - Mangmi Air Y & Air Y Pro

In this video, we go back to 1978 and the story behind Space Invaders: how one Japanese designer, Tomohiro Nishikado, built the game (and even the hardware to run it), why those aliens speed up as you shoot them, and how a simple shooter turned arcades into a global obsession. Where the idea came from The happy accident that created the game's famous tension How it took over arcades, pizza parlors, and bowling alleys everywhere Why it still matters to anyone who ever begged for one more quarter If you spent your childhood hunched over a cabinet with a pocket full of change, this one's for you. #SpaceInvaders #RetroGaming #ArcadeHistory #GenX #80sNostalgia #VideoGameHistory #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 - CHAPTERS 00:00 - Intro 00:30 - Welcome 00:50 - Tomohiro Nishikado 02:46 - Western Gun 03:48 - Discrete Circuit Boards 04:39 - Creation of Space Invaders 05:35 - A Happy Accident 06:17 - Space Invaders Launches 06:47 - Atari 2600 Impact 07:19 - Impact 08:05 - Close
