Try Afterplay: https://genxgrownup.com/afterplay John Champeau and Champ Games have done it again! This time, they're bringing Sigma's obscure 1981 arcade game SPIDERS to the Atari 2600 with SPIDERS ARCADE. Spiders has always been one of those lesser-known arcade games I remember fondly, which makes this release especially interesting to me. In this video, we'll take a look back at the original Sigma arcade game, see just how uncommon it has become, and then put it side-by-side with the new Atari 2600 version from Champ Games. From the growing webs and hatching cocoons to the spiders crawling toward your cannon — and yes, even that mysterious woman who appears between rounds — Champ Games has taken on another arcade game you might never have expected to see running on the Atari 2600. How close did they get? Let's find out. #atari #retrogaming #atari2600 #genxgrownup - LINKS Champ Games » https://genxgrownup.com/champ - 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 00:00 Champ Games 01:09 All About Spiders 03:25 Recognition 03:53 Box & Contents 08:05 Power On 12:11 Conclusion

The CULTIC live playthrough continues as we try to finish off The Chapel boss stage and deal with the massive tank enemy standing between us and whatever nightmare comes next. This retro-inspired FPS has already thrown cultists, crypts, mines, and all kinds of chaos at us — but now we’re apparently fighting heavy machinery in a chapel. Seems reasonable. Join the GXG crew live as we push through another round of boomer shooter mayhem, panic reloads, questionable aim, and old-school FPS carnage. Come hang out, chat with us, and help me survive the Chapel! #CULTIC #RetroFPS #BoomerShooter #HorrorFPS #LiveStream #PCGaming #IndieGames #RetroGaming #GenXGrownUp #GXG

Before consoles, before cartridges, before anyone had a joystick in their living room, there was Pong. In 1972, a young Atari engineer named Allan Alcorn was handed what he thought was a simple training exercise by co-founder Nolan Bushnell, build a basic ping-pong game to learn the hardware. Instead, he created the game that launched the video game industry. In this video, we dig into the origin story of Pong, from its predecessors to its home console release through Sears in 1975 — and why this ridiculously simple game became the spark that put a controller in the hands of an entire generation. If you grew up chasing that little white square across the screen, this one's for you. #videogamehistory #atari #pong #atari-pong #arcadehistory #arcadegames - 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 00:00 - Intro 00:35 - Willie Higinbotham 01:43 - Ralph E Baer 02:19 - Magnavox Odyssey 03:49 - Atari 06:10 - Lawsuits 06:58 - Closing
