Atari is making another big move — this time acquiring Hipster Whale, the studio behind Crossy Road. Is this a smart mobile gaming push, or another strange twist in Atari’s modern comeback story? This week on Bit By Bit, we’re also looking at a new Toy Story retro collection, our first look at the ModRetro M64 FPGA N64, rumors of a low-cost Sega handheld with removable carts, Evercade’s take on older gamers being underserved, a wild Wolfenstein 3D Atari 2600 demake, a reported Godzilla: Destroy All Monsters Melee remaster, and the latest shakeup in the retro gaming scaler fight. Grab your coffee, settle in, and let’s get into the week’s biggest retro gaming stories. ?? #Atari #RetroGaming #BitByBit #CrossyRoad #ModRetroM64 #Evercade #Sega #ToyStory #Godzilla #Wolfenstein3D - LINKS Atari Acquires Crossy Road - https://tinyurl.com/5fbjnndw Toy Story Game Collections - https://tinyurl.com/24tenmsd M64 Review - https://tinyurl.com/2wyerzrw Sega Handheld Rumors - https://tinyurl.com/5e2r9tz8 Blaze CEO Interview - https://tinyurl.com/2dhsyr73 Wolfenstein 3D Demake - https://tinyurl.com/7v9zarr8 Godzilla Game Remake - https://tinyurl.com/ynsfaw5r Morph 2K - https://tinyurl.com/4v424vy2 - 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 0:30 - Atari Acquires Crossy Road 4:39 - Toy Story Game Collections 7:45 - M64 Review 8:40 - Sega Handheld Rumors 11:45 - Blaze CEO Interview 13:47 - Wolfenstein 3D Demake 14:44 - Godzilla Game Remake 16:33 - Morph 2K

Shop X-Arcade: https://genxgrownup.com/xgaming Digital games are convenient, but convenience isn’t ownership.

Marauder for the Atari 2600 may look a lot like Berzerk at first glance, but Tigervision’s 1982 maze shooter has some clever ideas of its own. There’s a real objective to your exploration, a temporary invincibility shield, faster-paced action, and a unique line-of-sight mechanic that changes when enemies are even visible. Originally based on a larger computer game from On-Line Systems — the company that would become Sierra On-Line — this 2600 version preserves the alien-base infiltration half of the original experience. In this Friday Plays, we take a closer look at Marauder, see how it compares to Berzerk, and find out whether this overlooked Atari game really has more going on than its simple appearance suggests. Thanks to Friday Plays viewer Heckensteiner for the recommendation! #retrogaming #atari #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 Fightbox » https://genxgrownup.com/fightbox King of Nerds » http://kingofnerds.tv Order of Cosmic Champions » http://www.orderofcosmicchampions.com

Polaris began as a Taito arcade game in 1980, but when Tigervision brought it to the Atari 2600, programmer Robert H. O’Neil did more than simply scale down the original. He added an entirely new phase that arcade players never experienced. Independently suggested by both @theblockydad and @BeastCake1349, this week’s Friday Plays dives into this uncommon 1983 release, compares it with the arcade original, and asks whether what Polaris ADDED can compensate for what was lost in translation. #atari #retrogaming #vintage #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
