ATARI PITSTOP | The 8-Bit Home Computer Successor to Activision’s Enduro?

Pitstop is a 1983 racing video game developed and published by Epyx for the Atari 8-bit computers, ColecoVision, Coleco Adam, and Commodore 64. It was followed by Pitstop II in 1984. Pitstop is played from a semi-first-person perspective, placing the player in a bird's-eye perspective slightly behind a race car. The game features three difficulty modes and three gameplay modes: Single, Mini-Circuit, and Grand Circuit. In Single, the player can choose from one of six tracks and learn how to play the game. In the game's Circuit modes, the player races against other drivers and earns a certain number of points and money depending on the place he finishes in each race. The Mini-Circuit features only three tracks, while the Grand Circuit features all six. Pitstop implements pit stops, a concept not featured in many other contemporary racing video games. Color-based damage is shown on the player's car whenever it hits another vehicle or a wall on the track, both of which wear out the tires. The player also has a fuel meter that gradually depletes during each race. If the player's vehicle displays a red color from taking too much damage, or if it is running low on fuel, it must make a pit stop. Unlike other racing video games, the pit crew is fully controlled by the player, who must refuel the vehicle and replace its worn-out tires. Up to four players can play by taking alternating turns. #retrogaming #atari #fridayplays #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 Keys of Fury » https://keysoffury.com G'AIM'E Time Crisis » http://genxgrownup.com/gaime King of Nerds » http://kingofnerds.tv Order of Cosmic Champions » http://www.orderofcosmicchampions.com - CHAPTERS

NEW Intellivision Sprint Controller Upgrade Kit | Mod It For FIVE Ways To Play!

For better or worse, when Atari & PLAION designed the controller for the Intellivision Sprint, they made it match the original almost exactly. If you love that control disc, that's great news. If you DON'T love that control disc, you may be looking for options. But whether you love or hate the Sprint's controller, this new upgrade kit likely includes something worth checking out. #atari #intellivision #retrogaming #genxgrownup cards 00:35 old intv stick 05:00 cx balls - LINKS Paul's Store » https://www.etsy.com/shop/Innovative3DShop Sprint Stick Kit » https://www.etsy.com/listing/4479337383/sprint-stick-kit-for-new-intellivision Sprint Ball Tops » https://www.etsy.com/listing/4479381126/intellivision-sprint-ball-topper-stand GSG Thumbstick » https://www.etsy.com/listing/4426504607/gamestation-go-d-pad-thumbstick-adapter GSG 40mm Super Spinner » https://www.etsy.com/shop/Innovative3DShop?ref=dashboard-header&section_id=55853536 GSG 37mm Super Spinner » https://www.etsy.com/listing/4427102457/game-station-go-spinner-kit-37mm Intellivision Selection » https://www.etsy.com/shop/Innovative3DShop?ref=seller-platform- NES Refurb » https://www.etsy.com/listing/4300832858/classic-nes-modernizer-and-refurbishment NES Grip » https://www.etsy.com/listing/4300612359/classic-nes-grip-attachment-for-a Screw-In Sticks » https://www.etsy.com/listing/1824490859/joystick-accessory-set-for-the-atari - SHOP Intellivision Sprint » https://amzn.to/4c6BB5Q 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 Sprint Control 01:17 Sprint Stick Kit 01:50 Disc Installation 03:25 One: Disc 03:50 Two: Stick/Ball 05:49 Three: Thumbstick 06:50 Four: Ringpad 08:53 Five: Nub/Ball 11:39 Playtesting 15:50 Summary

ATARI Gamestation Go | SIX Months Later, is this Handheld Worth Owning?

Shop Fightbox » https://genxgrownup.com/fightbox When the Atari GameStation Go was first revealed, it looked like one of the most ambitious retro handhelds ever made. A trackball, a spinner, a numpad, & over 200 games. It promised to be the ultimate all-in-one Atari machine. But when it finally launched… things didn’t exactly go according to plan. Now, six months later—after multiple firmware updates and even a community overhaul, where does the Gamestation Go stand, and is this handheld worth owning half a year after its release? #atari #retrogaming #handheld #genxgrownup cards 06:40 spinner vid 15:15 community fw 17:13 sprint review - SHOP Atari Gamestation Go » https://amzn.to/48zYBta Paul's Store » https://www.etsy.com/shop/Innovative3DShop 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 GSG at 6 Months 00:56 CES 2024 02:34 Printed Prototype 03:05 CES 2024 03:49 Paddle to Spinner 04:33 Release & Reviews 06:13 Weighted Spinner 07:02 Firmware 1.10 11:20 Thumbstick 12:40 CES 2026 14:00 Firmware 1.20 15:07 Community Firmware 16:50 Hindsight 18:16 Summary

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
