Atari 2600 STAR TREK: Strategic Operations Simulator | What’s NOMAD Doing Here?

Star Trek: Strategic Operations Simulator is a space combat simulation arcade video game based on the original Star Trek television program and movie series, and released by Sega in 1983. The original arcade game uses color vector graphics for both a 2D display and a 3D first-person perspective, and features synthesized speech. The player controls the Starship Enterprise and must defend sectors from invading Klingon ships. The game was manufactured in two styles of cabinets: an upright standup, and a sit-down/semi-enclosed deluxe cabinet with the player's chair modeled after the Star Trek: The Motion Picture's bridge chairs with controls integrated into the chair's arms. Star Trek was ported to the Commodore 64, TI-99/4A, Atari 8-bit computers, Atari 5200, Atari 2600, VIC-20, ColecoVision, and Apple II. #atari #retrogaming #startrek #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

Atari 2600 LASER GATES from Imagic | “I, For One, Welcome Our New AI Overlords!”

Laser Gates is a side-scrolling shooter for the Atari 2600, developed by Imagic in 1983, where players navigate the "Dante Dart" through a "cryptic computer" to destroy four failsafe detonators and save the universe. Notable details include its rare nature, gameplay elements like energy management and diverse enemies (radar mortars, homing missiles, and laser gates), and a variety of obstacles such as flashing force fields and jagged walls. Players must collect energy pods while carefully avoiding shooting them, manage their shields, and time their movements to navigate flashing, flexing, and closing laser gates. #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

Atari Gamestation Go Review | MOST COMPREHENSIVE Look at My Arcade’s NEW Handheld!

Early last year, My Arcade announced the Atari Gamestation Portable - a handheld evolution of their popular Gamestation Pro. With more control types than any other single handheld, it’s had our minds reeling with possibilities. Now that the renamed Gamestation Go (or “GSG”) is finally hitting shelves, is it the right Atari handheld for you? I’m gonna try to help you answer that question in this video review. The brand new Atari Gamestation Go is one of the most ambitious handhelds I’ve ever laid my hands on, let alone reviewed. Loaded with just about every type of controller input - d-pad, buttons, triggers, trackball, spinner, & numpad - it promises to allow us to play the widest variety of Atari classics with their correct and original input methods. The GSG was first expected to release late 2024, but My Arcade instead went back into the lab for further development. During that time we’ve learned of an upgrade from a paddle to a spinner and an expanded lineup of Atari Recharged titles, so there’s a LOT to cover here. #atari #handheld #retrogaming #genxgrownup @MyArcaderetro @atari - SHOP Atari Gamestation Go » https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CT68G1TP?tag=genxgrownup-20 Gamepad » https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DSCQMQ27?tag=genxgrownup-20 Pixel Pocket Pros » https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DSCPD9PR?tag=genxgrownup-20 Casino Pixel » https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0FD5X12L3?tag=genxgrownup-20 Pocket Bundles » https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0F7TLLVX3?tag=genxgrownup-20 Sonic Mighty » https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DSCN9NQD?tag=genxgrownup-20 Pac-Man Mighty » https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DSCQS39K?tag=genxgrownup-20 Casino Player » https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DSCMLJL2?tag=genxgrownup-20 Casino Pocket » https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DSCN844L?tag=genxgrownup-20 Sonic Joystick » https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DSCMZSLB?tag=genxgrownup-20 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 00:00:00 GSG Story So Far 00:01:54 Box & Contents 00:04:32 Hardware Tour 00:08:19 Power On & Menu 00:10:49 Atari Games 00:12:01 2600 Bowling 00:13:38 2600 Video Olympics 00:14:57 2600 Yars' Revenge 00:16:03 2600 Indy 500 00:17:59 5200 Game Menu 00:18:40 5200 Centipede 00:20:10 5200 Basketball 00:21:19 7800 Game Menu 00:21:40 7800 Food Fight 00:23:36 Dual Stick Shooting 00:23:59 Arcade Agent X 00:24:55 High Score Saving 00:25:08 Arcade Football 00:26:08 Arcade Centipede 00:27:43 Handedness & Layout 00:29:35 Arcade Tempest & Spinner 00:33:13 Arcade Super Bug 00:35:01 Arcade Super Breakout 00:37:10 Arcade Night Driver 00:38:28 Arcade Missile Command 00:40:01 M Network 00:40:57 Atari Recharged 00:41:55 Asteroids Recharged 00:43:37 Berzerk Recharged 00:45:14 Breakout Recharged 00:47:06 Centipede Recharged 00:48:40 Missile Command Recharged 00:50:40 Pac-Man Games 00:51:10 Pac-Man 00:53:17 Pac-Man Speed-Up 00:53:51 2600 Pac-Man 00:55:23 Balls of Steel Pinball 00:56:35 Missile Command Pinball 00:59:50 Mutation Pinball 01:00:22 Barbarian Pinball 01:00:55 Centipede Pinball 01:01:47 Darkside Pinball 01:02:18 Devil's Island Pinball 01:02:47 Firestorm Pinball 01:03:30 Jaleco Games 01:04:41 Piko Games 01:05:24 Wi-Fi Firmware Updates 01:07:07 HDMI Connection 01:09:10 HDMI Pinball 01:10:30 HDMI Recharged 01:13:14 SD Card Expansion 01:22:32 Hardware Summary 01:23:23 Software Summary 01:24:38 Experience Summary 01:25:39 Final Thoughts
