Can Atari REALLY Turn PONG Into a Movie?! + More Retro News!

Atari has struck a deal to develop movies based on ten of its classic games—but how do you turn Pong, Breakout, Asteroids, or Centipede into a full-length film? Is Hollywood sitting on a gold mine of untapped retro gaming ideas, or has it officially run out of stories? We also look at original Xbox games making the jump to PC, LEGO’s surprisingly playable Donkey Kong arcade cabinet, Anbernic’s modern take on the Game Boy Advance SP, experimental Dreamcast support for MiSTer FPGA, a new 16-bit game from veteran Amiga developers, the FBI’s investigation into malware-infected Steam games, and the newly revealed Mangmi Air Y handhelds. It’s eight bits of the biggest retro gaming news from the past week, all packed into one episode of Bit By Bit! #Atari #RetroGaming #GamingNews #BitByBit #Xbox #DonkeyKong #Anbernic #Dreamcast #MiSTerFPGA #Steam - LINKS Atari / Universal 10-Film Deal - https://tinyurl.com/4j6tzxxh Xbox/PC Compatibility - https://tinyurl.com/2vh2m69v Lego DK Official Reveal - https://tinyurl.com/4nh3h64a Anbernic RG SP Reveal - https://tinyurl.com/4vdfmtnp DreamSTer - https://tinyurl.com/mn6jwvbt UrbX Warriors - https://tinyurl.com/y65fnxec Steam Game Hacking - https://tinyurl.com/4jbfxb48 Mangmi Air Y & Air Y Pro - https://tinyurl.com/5f55h7ru - 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 - Intro 00:22 - Atari / Universal 10-Film Deal 04:41 - Xbox/PC Compatibility 06:26 - Lego DK Official Reveal 09:04 - Anbernic RG SP Reveal 11:12 - DreamSTer 12:58 - UrbX Warriors 14:06 - Steam Game Hacking 16:47 - Mangmi Air Y & Air Y Pro

ATARI Road Runner Almost Never Saw the Light of Day

Before Coyote vs. Acme finally hit theaters (against all odds), Road Runner had its own delayed debut on the Atari 2600. Started by Bob Polaro in 1984 and eventually released in 1989, this Looney Tunes chase got a second chance—but was it worth rescuing? This week on Friday Plays, I dodge desert hazards, turn Wile E. Coyote’s traps against him, and discover why this cartoon chase leaves me with mixed feelings. What do YOU think of Road Runner on the Atari 2600? Share your memories—and suggestions for future Friday Plays—in the comments! - 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 Order of Cosmic Champions » http://www.orderofcosmicchampions.com King of Nerds » http://kingofnerds.tv

CULTIC LIVE: The Final Ritual Begins!

The CULTIC live playthrough reaches what is hopefully the final stretch as we enter The Ritual Chamber and try to finish this brutal retro FPS nightmare once and for all. We’ve fought through crypts, mines, shipyards, chapels, asylum grounds, and one extremely rude tank boss — and now it all comes down to the final ritual. No pressure. Join the GXG crew live as we take on CULTIC’s final chapter of cultist chaos, old-school FPS action, panic reloads, questionable decisions, and hopefully one last big win. Come hang out, chat with us, and help me survive the Ritual Chamber! #CULTIC #RetroFPS #BoomerShooter #HorrorFPS #LiveStream #PCGaming #IndieGames #RetroGaming #GenXGrownUp #GXG
