In this video, we go back to 1978 and the story behind Space Invaders: how one Japanese designer, Tomohiro Nishikado, built the game (and even the hardware to run it), why those aliens speed up as you shoot them, and how a simple shooter turned arcades into a global obsession. Where the idea came from The happy accident that created the game's famous tension How it took over arcades, pizza parlors, and bowling alleys everywhere Why it still matters to anyone who ever begged for one more quarter If you spent your childhood hunched over a cabinet with a pocket full of change, this one's for you. #SpaceInvaders #RetroGaming #ArcadeHistory #GenX #80sNostalgia #VideoGameHistory #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 - CHAPTERS 00:00 - Intro 00:30 - Welcome 00:50 - Tomohiro Nishikado 02:46 - Western Gun 03:48 - Discrete Circuit Boards 04:39 - Creation of Space Invaders 05:35 - A Happy Accident 06:17 - Space Invaders Launches 06:47 - Atari 2600 Impact 07:19 - Impact 08:05 - Close

No joystick. No TV. Just a stealth bomber you hold against your face. Released in 1998, Radica’s Stealth Assault puts an air combat game inside a handheld shaped like the aircraft itself. Look into the cockpit, tilt the whole thing to steer, and use its buttons to take on enemy targets. I’m taking this unusual piece of ’90s gaming hardware for a test flight, exploring how it works and seeing what it’s like to play. Can a little screen and tilt controls deliver big cockpit thrills?

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?
