Missile Command is a 1980 shoot 'em up video game developed and published by Atari for arcades. Sega released the game outside North America. It was designed by Dave Theurer, who also designed Atari's vector graphics game Tempest from the same year. The game was released during the Cold War, and the player uses a trackball to defend six cities from intercontinental ballistic missiles by launching anti-ballistic missiles from three bases. Atari brought the game to its home systems beginning with the 1981 Atari VCS conversion by Rob Fulop. Numerous contemporaneous clones and modern remakes followed. Atari's 1981 port to the Atari 8-bit computers was reused for the Atari 5200 (1982) and built into the Atari XEGS (1987). It is considered to be one of the greatest video games of all time. #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

Dimitris “Modern Vintage Gamer” Giannakis is leaving Limited Run Games and joining Atari-owned Digital Eclipse—a big get for preservation-minded retro fans. MVG co-built LRG’s Carbon Engine; now he’s headed to Digital Eclipse (of Atari 50 and the Gold Master Series fame). What does this mean for future collections and restorations? Let’s break it down. We also cover a retail shake-up: Costco has removed Xbox listings in the US and UK and, per a rep, doesn’t plan to carry Series X|S “going forward,” calling it a business decision. This lands right before Microsoft’s October 3 price hike (Series X to $649.99, Series S to $399.99). We unpack what this means for Xbox visibility going into holiday 2025. Finally, Eden, the Nintendo Switch emulator that hit Google Play two weeks ago, was pulled from the store. Reporting points to a wave of Nintendo DMCA notices; the devs say they’ll appeal while development continues off-store. We look at what happened and what it signals for emulation on Android. ? Drop your takes: • Will MVG at Atari’s Digital Eclipse raise the bar for classic comps? • Does Costco’s move signal deeper retail headwinds for Xbox? • Is the Play Store a viable home for emulators after Eden’s removal?

ModRetro finally pulled the curtain back on its transparent M64 N64-style console, complete with Funtastic-style shells and a trident controller, and Palmer Luckey is already talking big — calling it “better by every objective measure” than the Analogue 3D while keeping the price at $199. We’ll break down the design, controller, feature set, and whether it really has what it takes to challenge Analogue’s $249.99 4K FPGA monster. ?? That’s not all! We’re also checking out the Abxylute M4, a tiny snap-on iPhone game controller that clings to your MagSafe device, packs real sticks and triggers into a pocket-sized shell, and still comes in at an affordable price. If you’re into retro and cloud gaming on the go, this might be your new everyday carry. ??? And to cap it off, we’re diving into Pixels to Pages, a free YouTube documentary from Game Sack and My Life in Gaming that chronicles the history of Electronic Gaming Monthly with classic editors, deep-cut stories, and a big hit of late-’80s/’90s magazine nostalgia. If you grew up flipping through EGM, you’re gonna feel this one. ??
