ReStory puts you behind the workbench in a cozy early-2000s Japanese repair shop, where you carefully take apart and restore retro tech – including officially licensed Atari hardware like the 2600 – turning broken memories into working treasures again. ?? In this episode of Bit By Bit, we dig into how ReStory turns electronics repair into something that feels almost like therapy for both the gadgets and the player, with satisfying teardown, cleaning, and reassembly moments that will hit every retro fan right in the feels. We’ll also talk about an insane DIY Commodore 64 laptop build that stuffs modern hardware into a period-correct C64 “portable” shell, complete with that classic beige look, mechanical keyboard, and compatibility with vintage accessories. ?? And if that’s not enough nostalgia, there’s even a brand-new FPS released for the ZX Spectrum, proving that some “retired” systems just refuse to die and are still getting fresh games decades later. ??? From Atari tear-downs to C64 laptops and surprise Spectrum shooters, it’s a great week to be a retro gamer. #??

No, it's not an early April Fools - it's Basic Math featured on Friday Plays! See MORE Friday Plays NOW: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0flpJUX9yRk&list=PL13zHeyDr6xswcm1YMnJivU0jefJIOLcb&ab_channel=GenXGrownUp Basic Math is an educational video game for the Atari Video Computer System (Atari VCS).[a] The game was developed at Atari, Inc. by Gary Palmer. The game involves a series of ten arithmetic problems involving addition, subtraction, multiplication, or division. The player can edit different gameplay modes to alter how the numbers in the problem are chosen, or if their questions are timed. The game was released in 1977 as one of the earliest releases for the console. The game is the only known game developed for the VCS by Palmer, who initially worked at Atari creating debugging stations for game developers, and later assisted with work on the Atari 400/800 line of computers. It was the first educational video game for the VCS, with others companies also releasing arithmetic-themed cartridges in the same year for the Fairchild Channel F and RCA Studio II. The game was also released under the title Fun with Numbers and Math. Both contemporary and retrospective reviews were generally unenthused by the game with common criticism being that it had poor quality graphics and was not appealing in terms of gameplay or control. #atari #retrogaming #math #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

Merlin (also known as Merlin The Electronic Wizard, stylized as MERLIN) is a handheld electronic game first made by Parker Brothers in 1978. The game was invented by former NASA employee Bob Doyle, his wife Holly, and brother-in-law Wendl Thomis.
