Cranky crabs are attempting to get the ducks out of their ponds. The crabs fly in the air while throwing bricks and bombs at the ducks. To fight back, the ducks are armed with a bill that is also a gun barrel that shoots a limitless supply of bullets straight up.[5] Deadly Duck is fixed shooter game for the Atari 2600 released on January 20, 1982, in North America. It was designed by Ed Hodapp for Sirius Software and published by 20th Century Fox Games. It was later ported, by Jeremy Jones, to the VIC-20. The player starts with four lives and a bonus life is awarded when all eight crabs in a level have been shot. If the player is hit by a brick, a life is lost. When bricks land at the bottom of the play area they impede player movement for a temporary period. #atari #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

This vintage (?) 2005 handheld Frogger game from Excalibur Electronics was a generous gift from a GenXGrownUp viewer, and coincidentally, it's another sample from Excalibur that uses a reverse-image screen reflected down on a mirror for gameplay.

Analogue 3D is finally getting restocked… but there’s a catch. ? In this episode we break down the November 24th preorder return of Analogue’s 4K, FPGA-powered Nintendo 64-style console, why the price just jumped from $249.99 to $269.99, and what tariffs have to do with it. Is it still worth the premium for original-cart, zero-emulation gameplay, or are you tapping out this round? ? We’re also checking in on Retro Games and PLAION’s The Spectrum Collector’s Edition — a gorgeous all-white tribute to the legendary ZX Spectrum, complete with matching QuickShot-style joystick, thermal printer, and other throwback goodies celebrating 8-bit home computing in style. ???? Then we flip over to the BrickBoy Arcade Edition, a wild LEGO-powered upgrade that turns the LEGO Game Boy build into a tiny arcade cabinet with HDMI output, boosted performance, and local multiplayer. Yep, a mini LEGO cab on your desk playing real games and lighting up like an ‘80s arcade. ???
