Atari has struck a deal to develop movies based on ten of its classic games—but how do you turn Pong, Breakout, Asteroids, or Centipede into a full-length film? Is Hollywood sitting on a gold mine of untapped retro gaming ideas, or has it officially run out of stories? We also look at original Xbox games making the jump to PC, LEGO’s surprisingly playable Donkey Kong arcade cabinet, Anbernic’s modern take on the Game Boy Advance SP, experimental Dreamcast support for MiSTer FPGA, a new 16-bit game from veteran Amiga developers, the FBI’s investigation into malware-infected Steam games, and the newly revealed Mangmi Air Y handhelds. It’s eight bits of the biggest retro gaming news from the past week, all packed into one episode of Bit By Bit! #Atari #RetroGaming #GamingNews #BitByBit #Xbox #DonkeyKong #Anbernic #Dreamcast #MiSTerFPGA #Steam - LINKS Atari / Universal 10-Film Deal - https://tinyurl.com/4j6tzxxh Xbox/PC Compatibility - https://tinyurl.com/2vh2m69v Lego DK Official Reveal - https://tinyurl.com/4nh3h64a Anbernic RG SP Reveal - https://tinyurl.com/4vdfmtnp DreamSTer - https://tinyurl.com/mn6jwvbt UrbX Warriors - https://tinyurl.com/y65fnxec Steam Game Hacking - https://tinyurl.com/4jbfxb48 Mangmi Air Y & Air Y Pro - https://tinyurl.com/5f55h7ru - 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 00:22 - Atari / Universal 10-Film Deal 04:41 - Xbox/PC Compatibility 06:26 - Lego DK Official Reveal 09:04 - Anbernic RG SP Reveal 11:12 - DreamSTer 12:58 - UrbX Warriors 14:06 - Steam Game Hacking 16:47 - Mangmi Air Y & Air Y Pro

I have played plenty of Frogger over the years—but somehow, I had never played the 1997 Frogger reboot for the original PlayStation. This time, I’m going in completely fresh to see how the simple arcade classic was transformed into a full 3D adventure. Unfortunately, it does not take long for the traffic, awkward controls, and questionable design choices to start taking their toll. Come along as I play PlayStation Frogger for the very first time and discover whether this ambitious update can win me over—or leave me wishing the frog had stayed in the arcade. #retrogaming #playstation #frogger #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 - CHAPTERS 00:00 '97 Frogger 01:45 Boot Up 04:28 Retro Levels 08:35 Lily Islands 10:05 Honey Bee Hollow 11:52 Scorching Switches 13:35 Dark Dark Cavern 15:45 Conclusion

Try Afterplay FREE: https://genxgrownup.com/afterplay Atari 2600 Asteroids is often remembered as an incredibly easy version of the arcade classic—but are most players judging the game by its easiest settings? In this Friday Plays, I move beyond the slow, forgiving default variation and play Game variation 4 on expert difficulty, with faster asteroids, hostile UFOs, hyperspace, and an extra ship every 10,000 points. It may not be an accurate recreation of the original vector arcade game, but it remains an effective and highly playable adaptation. The question is whether turning up the challenge changes its reputation. #atari #retrogaming #arcade #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

The CULTIC live playthrough continues as we finish off The Crypts and move straight into the next map, The Chapel — because apparently after surviving underground horrors, the logical next step is walking into a creepy chapel full of cultists. Great plan. No notes. Join the GXG crew as we keep pushing through CULTIC’s brutal retro FPS mayhem, blasting cultists, finding secrets, and probably making several questionable survival choices along the way. Come hang out live, chat with us, and help me survive the next round of old-school shooter chaos! #CULTIC #RetroFPS #BoomerShooter #HorrorFPS #LiveStream #PCGaming #IndieGames #RetroGaming #GenXGrownUp #GXG

This 1979 Baseball Game Was Built for TWO I Found a TWO-PLAYER Baseball Game from 1979 This 1979 Electronic Baseball Game STILL WORKS! Released in 1979, Entex Baseball 2 was built around something many electronic games of the era overlooked: playing with another person. One player bats while the other secretly selects pitches using a separate wired controller. I found this Sears-branded example at a local vintage toy shop, cleaned it up, figured out how it works, and played a complete game to see whether this nearly fifty-year-old tabletop baseball game still has some competition left in it. #retrogaming #handheld #baseball #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 - CHAPTERS 00:00 Baseball 2 01:00 Sears Sequel 01:45 Box & Contents 04:54 Hardware Tour 08:14 Cleanup 09:56 Power On 12:25 Two-Player 16:21 Conclusion
