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. ?? If you love retro hardware, weird new controllers, and deep-dive gaming history, hit play, drop a comment with your M64 vs Analogue 3D take, and don’t forget to like, subscribe, and share to keep Bit By Bit and GenXGrownUp buzzing! ?

The Entex Defender from 1982 was a popular handheld electronic game, a portable version of the classic arcade game Defender, featuring VFD (Vacuum Fluorescent Display) graphics, controls for movement, thrust, fire, hyperspace, and smart bombs, and adjustable speed/skill levels, allowing players to experience the challenging spaceship shooter on the go, alongside other licensed handhelds from Entex that year. #retrogaming #handheld #arcade #genxgrownup cards 00:57 retrocon - 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 Keys of Fury » https://keysoffury.com G'AIM'E Time Crisis » http://genxgrownup.com/gaime King of Nerds » http://kingofnerds.tv Order of Cosmic Champions » http://www.orderofcosmicchampions.com - CHAPTERS 00:00 Entex Defender 02:29 Box & Contents 06:34 Hardware Tour 10:42 Power On 15:48 Game Two 18:43 Higher Skill 20:39 Summary

For better or worse, when Atari & PLAION designed the controller for the Intellivision Sprint, they made it match the original almost exactly. If you love that control disc, that's great news. If you DON'T love that control disc, you may be looking for options. But whether you love or hate the Sprint's controller, this new upgrade kit likely includes something worth checking out. #atari #intellivision #retrogaming #genxgrownup cards 00:35 old intv stick 05:00 cx balls - LINKS Paul's Store » https://www.etsy.com/shop/Innovative3DShop Sprint Stick Kit » https://www.etsy.com/listing/4479337383/sprint-stick-kit-for-new-intellivision Sprint Ball Tops » https://www.etsy.com/listing/4479381126/intellivision-sprint-ball-topper-stand GSG Thumbstick » https://www.etsy.com/listing/4426504607/gamestation-go-d-pad-thumbstick-adapter GSG 40mm Super Spinner » https://www.etsy.com/shop/Innovative3DShop?ref=dashboard-header&section_id=55853536 GSG 37mm Super Spinner » https://www.etsy.com/listing/4427102457/game-station-go-spinner-kit-37mm Intellivision Selection » https://www.etsy.com/shop/Innovative3DShop?ref=seller-platform- NES Refurb » https://www.etsy.com/listing/4300832858/classic-nes-modernizer-and-refurbishment NES Grip » https://www.etsy.com/listing/4300612359/classic-nes-grip-attachment-for-a Screw-In Sticks » https://www.etsy.com/listing/1824490859/joystick-accessory-set-for-the-atari - SHOP Intellivision Sprint » https://amzn.to/4c6BB5Q 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 - CHAPTERS 00:00 Sprint Control 01:17 Sprint Stick Kit 01:50 Disc Installation 03:25 One: Disc 03:50 Two: Stick/Ball 05:49 Three: Thumbstick 06:50 Four: Ringpad 08:53 Five: Nub/Ball 11:39 Playtesting 15:50 Summary

Shop Fightbox » https://genxgrownup.com/fightbox When the Atari GameStation Go was first revealed, it looked like one of the most ambitious retro handhelds ever made. A trackball, a spinner, a numpad, & over 200 games. It promised to be the ultimate all-in-one Atari machine. But when it finally launched… things didn’t exactly go according to plan. Now, six months later—after multiple firmware updates and even a community overhaul, where does the Gamestation Go stand, and is this handheld worth owning half a year after its release? #atari #retrogaming #handheld #genxgrownup cards 06:40 spinner vid 15:15 community fw 17:13 sprint review - SHOP Atari Gamestation Go » https://amzn.to/48zYBta Paul's Store » https://www.etsy.com/shop/Innovative3DShop 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 GSG at 6 Months 00:56 CES 2024 02:34 Printed Prototype 03:05 CES 2024 03:49 Paddle to Spinner 04:33 Release & Reviews 06:13 Weighted Spinner 07:02 Firmware 1.10 11:20 Thumbstick 12:40 CES 2026 14:00 Firmware 1.20 15:07 Community Firmware 16:50 Hindsight 18:16 Summary

Shop Fightbox: https://genxgrownup.com/fightbox After two straight weeks of Venture on Friday Plays, I thought I had a pretty good handle on how this arcade classic translated to home consoles. ColecoVision gave us the more faithful arcade-style version, and Atari 2600 showed how much of the idea could survive on much simpler hardware. But after those episodes, the comments kept coming in: “You need to try Venture on Intellivision.” So this week, the Summer of Venture continues with the Intellivision port — a version that may not be the most arcade-accurate, but might just be the one I had the most fun playing. - 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
