Strategy X began as a 1981 Konami arcade game before reaching the Atari 2600 in 1983—one of just three games Konami published for the system. It should have been something special. Instead, it feels unfinished, unfair, and barely play-tested. This week on Friday Plays, I revisit a game I once skipped and ask: Am I missing something, or is it really this bad? #atari #retrogaming #atari2600 #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

After last week’s rough outing with Strategy X, I needed a palate cleanser—and Beamrider came highly recommended. More than 40 years after missing it the first time, I take Activision’s 1984 Atari 2600 shooter for a spin, discover why you can’t simply shoot everything in sight, and see whether this Intellivision-born classic earns its reputation. - 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

I picked up this nearly unused Radofin Tele-Sports Mini at the Long Island Retro Gaming Expo, mostly because it was impossible to resist the pure late-1970s charm of the thing. With 4 electronic action games, two unusual controllers, and even a PRO-AM OPTION, this is a great little snapshot of what home TV gaming looked like in 1977. In this video, I take a closer look at the hardware, the history behind Radofin, and what makes this strange little Pong-era time capsule so much fun to explore. card 12:14 Bentley - 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 Radofin Tele-Sports 01:57 Box Opening 03:55 Switch Box 04:40 Controllers 07:18 Manual 08:32 Light Clean-Up 10:35 Practice & Pro/Am 13:00 Two-Player Tennis 14:20 Two-Player Hockey 15:20 Two-Player Squash 16:17 Conclusion

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.

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.

The NeoGeo AES+ was shaping up to be one of the most exciting new pieces of retro hardware this year — but now fans are going to be waiting a whole lot longer. The hardware-accurate NeoGeo revival has been pushed all the way into September 2027, and we’re digging into what caused the major delay. Plus, GOG takes game preservation beyond the games themselves with printable classic PC big-box extras, Super Smash Bros. Melee reaches a huge decompilation milestone after years of work, and the new Metal Slug Ultimate Collection packs ten games together with online co-op. We’ve also got a major RPCS3 breakthrough that makes physical PS3 discs much more useful on PC, another surprising development in the never-ending Amico saga, a modern reimagining of Lara Croft’s original Tomb Raider adventure, and a compact 4:3 retro gaming monitor built with classic consoles in mind.
