Jeff Minter is back with another unique take on a 1980s Atari arcade game: I, Robot. Reimagined in Minter’s signature assault of colors, shapes and sounds, this new take on the eclectic arcade title is built from the ground up with new challenges, new twists, and a whole lot of llamas. The premise of I, Robot is simple: You take control of an ox-headed robot on a mission to outwit the all-seeing eye. In each level, you’ll navigate across tiles, flipping each tile to proceed to the next. Make sure you don’t jump while the eye’s watching, or you’ll be zapped away in a flash. If you make it across the tiles, you’ll race down a tube blasting away any enemy shapes that move into your path and try to stop you. And you have to do all this inside of the 3D space of Minter’s kaleidoscopic visualizer. Don’t get too comfortable, Minter has also thrown in some arena levels that challenge you to pick out and blast an onslaught of lethal enemies. At its core it is a game that only Lamasoft could have made. A cacophony of colors dazzle your eyes as the music gradually builds up based on your progress. If you want to take a break from the arcade action, jump into the ungame, where you can channel your inner Jeff Minter and play around with all the sights and sounds from the game. #atari #retrogaming #live #genxgrownup - LINKS https://atari.com/products/i-robot - 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

1987’s “Real Men” with Jim Belushi and John Ritter is an underappreciated 80s classic; and I set out to prove the point!  

Launched in 1977, The Atari VCS turned four years old in 1981. The number units sold in '81 more than doubled from the previous year meaning greater than five million homes now had an Atari hooked up to the TV and were potential customers for new games. Slowing from previous years' schedules, Atari only rolled out only nine new games this year - with two of those being Sears exclusives. How did the runaway success of the previous year's Space Invaders influence this new roster AND, how would Atari shift to adapt to new competition? In this video, I'll be ranking every VCS game Atari released in 1981. #atari #retrogaming #tierlist #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 00:00 Atari 1981 00:54 Taking a Breath 02:07 Asteroids 03:26 Missile Command 04:35 Othello 05:47 Pelé's Soccer 07:12 Steeplechase 08:37 Stellar Track 10:20 Super Breakout 11:23 Video Pinball 12:30 Warlords 13:42 Summary
