Atari is closing the modern VCS software store on February 1, 2027—but what happens to the console and your games afterward? George looks at the shutdown plans, the proposed OS update to remove reliance on Atari’s servers, and the homebrew possibilities beyond official support. Then we step back into the ring with EA’s Fight Night revival, follow Croc onto Nintendo 64 through ModRetro, and explore RPCS3’s milestone of rating 80% of the PS3 library playable. A rare Pokémon Red prototype hits the auction block, Delta 2.0 brings Sega Genesis support, a Game Boy museum fits onto a cartridge, and Songbird’s Star Streak heads toward a wider Atari Jaguar release. It’s Bit By Bit E157: eight stories about the games, hardware, and discoveries keeping retro gaming interesting. What should Atari VCS owners do next—and could homebrew give the system a second life?

Leatherface traded the movie screen for the Atari 2600—but did the horror survive the trip? Spooky season continues on Friday Plays with The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Wizard Video Games’ 1983 adaptation that puts YOU behind the chainsaw. I finally give this infamous cartridge a try, explore its unusual history, and take a look at an alternate prototype that helps explain something strange about the box art. There’s plenty of fuel for discussion… even if the chainsaw keeps running dry. Did you ever encounter this one growing up? And what vintage game would you like to see on a future Friday Plays?

The Main Menu is a psychological horror thriller where you wake up trapped in a room with only a corrupted main menu to interact with. Changing the menu physically changes the room around you. Manipulate its buttons and hidden systems to solve puzzles and uncover what controls the screen. #indiegame #retro #retrogaming #genxgrownup - LINKS The Main Menu on Steam » https://store.steampowered.com/app/1897660/The_Main_Menu/ - 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

Shop AISLPC: https://genxgrownup.com/AISLPC What if you want a retro gaming handheld without making it your next project? The AISLPC RG52 Mini costs about a hundred bucks—but how much can it do with its pre-installed software loadout? Instead of replacing the firmware and building my own game library, I’m exploring what this Linux-based handheld offers with its stock setup. We’ll check out the controls, menus, included games, built-in Wi-Fi download service, and some surprisingly capable PlayStation Portable emulation. Then we’ll connect it to a TV for big-screen play. With a 5.5-inch 720p IPS display, dual analog sticks, Hall effect triggers, and a 5,000mAh battery, there’s plenty here on paper. But is it a good fit for someone who just wants to turn it on and PLAY? Please note: the included commercial game ROMs and built-in download service are not a licensed game collection.
