COSMIC COMBAT 1980 Handheld Was Made to Be BEATEN

Try Afterplay: https://genxgrownup.com/afterplay In 1980, Tomytronic released Cosmic Combat, a dedicated electronic handheld space shooter with one very specific goal: keep fighting until you reach victory. I recently thrifted this 46-year-old handheld, so in this video we clean it up, take a close look at this wonderfully retro piece of electronic gaming history, fire it back up, and find out what it takes to actually beat Cosmic Combat. Unlike so many early electronic games built around chasing an endless high score, this one gives you something to shoot for — and if we can reach 999 points, there’s even a little victory celebration waiting for us. Cosmic Combat was released by Tomy in 1980, made in Japan, and is generally identified as model 7602. It runs on four C-cell batteries and comes from that fascinating period when dedicated electronic games were finding all kinds of creative ways to put an arcade-style experience into your hands. Can this thrift-store survivor still deliver its intended victory 46 years later? Let’s find out. #retrogaming #handheld #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 Cosmic Combat 00:45 Galaxian Note 01:48 Hardware Tour 03:05 Manual 04:30 Clean-Up 06:10 Power On 06:45 Difficulty 1 07:48 Difficulty 2 08:30 Run to 999 12:20 Summary

Could Atari Reunite Atari Games?

Could Atari reunite the “Atari Games” legacy under one roof? In today’s episode we look at the possibility—not a prediction—that shifting ownership around WB Games could open a path for Atari to bring those classic arcade-era rights back together. What would that mean for re-releases, collections, and preservation? This is informed speculation based on public reporting and industry history—no deals announced. I’ll break down what would have to happen, who the players are, and why it matters to retro fans. Drop your take in the comments!

Could AYANEO’s GBA Clone Really Play PS2 Games? + More Retro News!

AYANEO has revealed the KONKR Pocket Advance, a modern retro handheld wrapped in the familiar horizontal shape of the original Game Boy Advance. With a widescreen display and the potential for far more powerful emulation than other GBA-style handhelds, could this little machine eventually handle systems like the PlayStation 2 and GameCube? There’s plenty to be excited about—but AYANEO still hasn’t revealed the processor, price, release date, or final performance specs. Also this week, a Brazilian court orders Microsoft to restore a hacked gamer’s Xbox account and digital library, Mario Kart Wii is recompiled for PC with potential 4K support and more than 200 tracks, and the RPCS3 emulator passes the milestone of making over 75% of the PlayStation 3 library playable. Plus, an unofficial Virtua Racing emulator brings Sega’s arcade classic to PC and Xbox with eight-player online racing, Evercade raises cartridge prices in the UK and Europe, Super Mario 64 somehow becomes “sort of” functional on the Panasonic 3DO, and Afterplay reveals that PSP and Dreamcast support are the most likely additions coming next to its browser-based emulation platform.
