Could your LEGO PlayStation become a playable games console? BrickStation aims to make it happen! In Bit By Bit E154, we explore the announced third-party upgrade designed to bring PS1 gaming to your brick-built PlayStation—and what’s still to come before launch. Then we discuss the C64 and ZX Spectrum handheld delay, Pennsylvania’s proposed protections for digital-game buyers, and RetroAchievements on original PlayStation 2 hardware. We also explore newly licensed Toki conversions for classic hardware, KONKR Pocket BLOCK specifications and pricing, an ambitious Super Mario 64 project for the SNES, and X-Arcade’s new Arcade2TV Pinball FX Edition controller.

Most Atari 2600 space shooters ask you to move your ship and fire. Encounter at L-5 has a different idea. For this Friday Plays, I’m taking on Data Age’s 1982 paddle-controlled shooter to explore its unusual approach to aiming—and why I wish they’d taken it further. #atari #retrogaming #atari2600 #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 Order of Cosmic Champions » http://www.orderofcosmicchampions.com King of Nerds » http://kingofnerds.tv

Atari has brought back the 2600 and 7800, and now there’s an Intellivision Sprint. So why not complete the collection with a ColecoVision+? I’d love a modern console that plays my original ColecoVision cartridges. But the more I think about what Atari could actually offer alongside one, the more complicated that dream becomes. Let’s look at the games, the licenses, and what “Plus” would mean for someone starting without a shelf full of cartridges. Would you buy a ColecoVision+? Let me know what you’d expect it to include - or at least be available to purchase. #retrogaming #atari #vintage #genxgrownup @atari - 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 - CHAPTERS 00:00 ColecoVision Plus 01:15 Classic Console Poetry 01:58 After the Hardware 03:08 Imagine an Acquisition 04:06 IP Licenses 04:40 Flashback Precedent 06:07 How Far Might Atari Go? 07:05 Split Conversation 07:57 Aftermarket Impact 09:10 Flashback & Homebrew 10:00 What Do You Want?

Your SNES collection is going portable!
