Atari just dropped a surprise for retro gamers — brand-new physical cartridges for the Atari 7800 in 2025! That’s right, officially licensed Bandai Namco classics like Pac-Man, Galaga, Dig Dug, and Xevious are hitting shelves again for the 7800 and 7800+. But is this a collector’s dream or just nostalgia gone too far? Meanwhile, the voice behind the legendary “Toasty!” line from Mortal Kombat has left the studio, marking the end of an era for one of gaming’s most iconic sound bites. And in the DIY corner, a creative modder has turned LEGO bricks into a fully functional Game Boy — and yes, it actually plays games! From Atari’s retro revival to Mortal Kombat goodbyes and brick-built handhelds, this week’s episode of Bit By Bit covers everything that makes gaming history worth revisiting. ?

Shop Fightbox » https://genxgrownup.com/fightbox Some arcade games emulate beautifully at home… until you try to control them. In this video, we’re taking a look at the new FightBox R10 Dual Flight Stick, a specialty arcade controller designed for games where the controls are part of the identity of the experience. This is not the controller I’d grab first for Pac-Man, Donkey Kong, or Street Fighter — but for games like Robotron: 2084, Smash TV, Battlezone, Assault, and Tron, having dual sticks, triggers, and a spinner can make all the difference. We helped FightBox design this controller to solve a very specific arcade problem: those unusual classics that never feel quite right on a standard joystick, keyboard, mouse, or gamepad. So let’s put it through its paces and see how close it gets to the original arcade feel. - SHOP Fightbox » https://genxgrownup.com/fightbox 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 The Toolbox 01:25 The Solution 02:08 Hardware Tour 05:19 Robotron 06:52 Assault 08:20 Battlezone 09:24 Black Widow 10:17 After Burner 11:21 Arkanoid 12:54 Tempest 14:07 Lost Tomb 15:28 Tron 19:03 Discs of Tron 21:04 Summary

Shop Puk » http://genxgrownup.com/puk PuK Gaming makes a modular set of mobile-gaming accessories designed to replace awkward touchscreen controls with physical, console-style inputs. Their flagship item is the PuK Thumbstick, a magnetic joystick that sits over the on-screen virtual stick and gives you real analog-style movement without lag or screen damage. They pair that with PuK Triggers, attachable physical shoulder buttons that mimic controller L/R taps for shooters, and PuK Grips* ergonomic handles that clip onto your phone to make long sessions more comfortable. They also sell a PuK Link Cable with a reinforced 90° connector designed to stay out of the way during gameplay. The key idea behind PuK’s product line is flexibility: instead of buying a single bulky controller shell, you mix and match only the accessories you want. Whether you need just a thumbstick for better aim in shooters, a couple of triggers for faster firing, or a full grip-and-trigger combo for long sessions, each piece works independently. The ecosystem is designed to turn a standard smartphone into something that feels much more like a handheld console, but without losing the portability of mobile gaming. #handheld #mobilegaming #retrogaming #genxgrownup - SHOP Shop Puk » http://genxgrownup.com/puk 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 - CHAPTERS 00:00 PuK 01:43 The Collection 02:27 Zipcase 02:53 Thumb Sleeves 05:32 TheGrips 07:58 Link Cable 09:13 Triggers 11:34 TheThumbstick 14:55 Summary

Asterix is a typical side scrolling platform game where either Asterix or Obelix must navigate through each stage, in most stages the player must locate a key that will open a door at the end of the stage, some stages a boss must be defeated to complete the stage. Not that Jon would know any of that, though, since he's NEVER played Asterix. In this experimental video, Jon first up Asterix for the first time to see what all the fuss is about! The game is broken up into 8 different areas with between 1 and 3 stages in each area. The player starts with 3 lives and 3 health points, a health point is lost if the character is hit by an enemy a live is lost if all health points are lost or the character falls down a hole. Health points can be obtained by picking up certain items during the game. When certain bosses are defeated a heart is obtained, collecting this heart increases the health capacity by one point. The character can have up to 6 health points. #sega #retrogaming #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 King of Nerds » http://kingofnerds.tv Order of Cosmic Champions » http://www.orderofcosmicchampions.com - CHAPTERS
