FROGGER 2005 Reflective Screen Handheld | Excalibur Electronics

This vintage (?) 2005 handheld Frogger game from Excalibur Electronics was a generous gift from a GenXGrownUp viewer, and coincidentally, it's another sample from Excalibur that uses a reverse-image screen reflected down on a mirror for gameplay.

Atari 1981 ULTIMATE Atari 2600 Tier List – ALL ’81 VCS GAMES RANKED

Launched in 1977, The Atari VCS turned four years old in 1981. The number units sold in '81 more than doubled from the previous year meaning greater than five million homes now had an Atari hooked up to the TV and were potential customers for new games. Slowing from previous years' schedules, Atari only rolled out only nine new games this year - with two of those being Sears exclusives. How did the runaway success of the previous year's Space Invaders influence this new roster AND, how would Atari shift to adapt to new competition? In this video, I'll be ranking every VCS game Atari released in 1981. #atari #retrogaming #tierlist #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 King of Nerds » http://kingofnerds.tv Order of Cosmic Champions » http://www.orderofcosmicchampions.com - CHAPTERS 00:00 Atari 1981 00:54 Taking a Breath 02:07 Asteroids 03:26 Missile Command 04:35 Othello 05:47 Pelé's Soccer 07:12 Steeplechase 08:37 Stellar Track 10:20 Super Breakout 11:23 Video Pinball 12:30 Warlords 13:42 Summary

Atari 2600 CAKEWALK | Have Your Cake & Play It Too!

Something's amiss at the bakery! The conveyers are spinning out of control! A torrent of cakes and pies pour from the ovens. The besieged Baker must snatch the pastries before they fall off the end, but avoid the deadly silverware. If that's not enough, there's a dancing gingerbread man that tries to out-fox the Baker and a surly janitor to sweep up the mistakes. #atari #retrogaming #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 King of Nerds » http://kingofnerds.tv Order of Cosmic Champions » http://www.orderofcosmicchampions.com

Now YOU Can Play a PERFECT Game of PAC-MAN!

Wanna finally get good at the original arcade Pac-Man? The solution is here! The Pac-Man Trainer will help you to improve your Pac-Man skills. It is an aid to learning the common patterns for completing boards. You follow an on-screen path through each board. For the pattern to hold, you must stay on track and turn corners quickly - steering ahead of each turn. There are different pattern sets to help you get to achieve your goals. You may want to reach the 9th Key at level 21 from which point all of the remaining boards play the same. You may want to complete the game by reaching the infamous split-screen at level 256. You may want to achieve a "Perfect Pac-Man" score of 3,333,360 by eating every pellet, every bonus and every ghost possible. You may just want a new PB! #retrogaming #pacman #genxgrownup - LINKS @10yard's Pac-Man Trainer Plugin » https://github.com/10yard/pactrainer - 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
