The Atari Hotel is finally moving beyond the concept art! With site preparation beginning in Phoenix, we’re looking at the latest milestone for Atari’s long-promised gaming destination—and what’s planned for the property. Then, ModRetro brings ClayFighter: Sculptor’s Cut and Body Harvest back to cartridge collectors, while Anbernic faces another headache as the Azahar team withdraws official device support. We also explore Taki Udon’s SuperStation Pocket teaser and the independent SGBC FPGA console, two different approaches to giving your Game Boy cartridges a new home. Evercade Nexus reaches store shelves, a folding handheld puts real PlayStation 2 hardware in your hands, and Forza architect Dan Greenawalt reportedly prepares to leave Microsoft after 27 years. It’s eight bits of retro gaming news, from classic cartridges and new hardware to the people shaping the games we love. Would you book a stay at an Atari Hotel?

Before it was a staple of arcades, Breakout was a bold idea from Atari that changed how people thought about video games. In this episode, we go back to 1976 and the story of how Nolan Bushnell’s follow-up to Pong came together, with a young Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak playing a surprising role in building it. We look at how a simple concept of a paddle, a ball, and a wall of bricks turned into a hit, how it influenced later games like Arkanoid, and why it still holds up today. Whether you spent your childhood feeding quarters into the cabinet or you’re just discovering where it all began, join us for a nostalgic look at one of the games that defined the golden age of arcades. #genxgrownup #genx #atari #breakout #arcadehistory - 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 00:31 - Open 01:25 - Enter Steve Jobs 02:31 - Enter Steve Wozniak 03:29 - Creating the prototype 04:08 - Creating the production version 04:45 - Breakout released 05:50 - I remember when Breakout came out 06:20 - Link between Breakout and Apple? 07:30 - Close

Most Atari 2600 space shooters ask you to move your ship and fire. Encounter at L-5 has a different idea. For this Friday Plays, I’m taking on Data Age’s 1982 paddle-controlled shooter to explore its unusual approach to aiming—and why I wish they’d taken it further. #atari #retrogaming #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 Order of Cosmic Champions » http://www.orderofcosmicchampions.com King of Nerds » http://kingofnerds.tv
