A new official entry in Namco's Dig Dug series was recently released on Android and iOS, with the catch being that it is only going to be available for two weeks. Dig Dug New Frontier is described as a "modern take on the classic arcade game" and is a collaboration between the Australian game developer Spunge Games (part of Liquid Animation), Bandai Namco, and interactive media platform Gamisodes. It was released on June 17th and is being offered as a playable title on the Gamisodes app until June 30th, at which point it will be removed (presumably never to return; we've reached out to a spokesperson for the devs to try and clarify this). Gamisodes, in case you've never heard of it (and we don't blame you!), is a media app that is pitching itself as the "Netflix of Interactive TV Shows". It features a library of interactive television shows that combine animation with simple gameplay tailored towards a younger audience. @bandainamcoentertainment @gamisodes #retrogaming #mobile #arcade #genxgrownup - LINKS Time Extension Article » https://www.timeextension.com/news/2025/06/a-new-dig-dug-game-has-just-been-released-but-its-only-playable-for-2-weeks - 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

In the early '80s a company called Suncom manufactured this unassuming little 9-pin joystick for the Atari 2600. It doesn't look like much, but with its solid steel shaft, ball-top, and low profile, the Slik Stik is one of the most accurate and durable third-party controllers available for the 2600 (and compatibles). Jon found this one at the Southern Fried Gaming Expo 2025 and picked it up on pedigree alone. Let's clean it up and give it a test to see why so many players swear by this little controller. #atari #retrogaming #joystick #genxgrownup - LINKS (relevant links mentioned in video) - 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 - CHAPTERS 00:00 SFGE Flea 01:29 Starting Place 02:47 Dismantling 04:14 Cleaning 05:09 Assembly 05:46 Cleaning II 07:40 Clean & Ready 08:28 Play Test 10:14 Summary

Crackpots is an Atari 2600 game designed by Dan Kitchen and published by Activision in 1983. It was Kitchen's first game for Activision. In Crackpots, the player controls Potsy, a gardener. Potsy's Brooklyn building is being overrun by bugs trying to climb inside six windows. The player moves Potsy back and forth along the roof to drop pots on the bugs before they can get close enough to enter the windows. #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

You. Your friends. An abandoned Cold War bunker. What could go wrong? What starts as a lighthearted dare quickly becomes high stakes when you and your three friends are trapped in the mysterious, underground Missile Command bunker. The teams at Mighty Yell and 13AM Games have taken one of Atari’s most iconic titles and created a high-pressure, tactical turn-based game, where players must manage their pool of defenses strategically to survive rounds of incoming missiles. Missile Command Delta approaches gameplay in a completely new way, but it retains all the tension and suspense of the arcade original. You have to think strategically about every move you make because even one poor choice can have grave consequences. The turn-based strategy game is wrapped in a twisting, narrative thriller – great for mystery fans, completionists, and players that love to explore and solve puzzles. Between inbound missile alerts, investigate the underground bunker between inbound missile alerts to access locked rooms, uncover secrets, and strengthen your arsenal. Will you be able to unravel the mystery in time? #atari #missilecommand #live - LINKS Atari's Site » https://atari.com/products/missile-command-delta MC Delta on Steam » https://store.steampowered.com/app/2790160/Missile_Command_Delta/ - 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

The year is 2089. You are racing to save the world, keeping the ARC reactor alive while dodging falling buildings and blowing up enemy vehicles in your way. There is an array of weapons and paths to choose from as you upgrade your deadly vehicle and take down formidable bosses. Do you have what it takes to survive your Fatal Run? In this video, Jon steps through the new gameplay trailer just release by Atari to see how this upcoming combat racer is coming along. Atari’s Fatal Run 2089 delivers over-the-top driving action across a post-apocalyptic landscape. You’ll be drifting into hairpin turns while traveling at insane speeds across 20 levels, each with branching paths, shortcuts, and explosive set pieces. Not challenging enough? You’ll be fighting off the road rage of vehicular enemies intent on stopping you. You can take them out with an arsenal of weapons, or just smash them off the road with brute force. And all of that while the timer is ticking: The ARC, the key to saving humanity, is always losing integrity over time, but good driving and aggressive play will regain it, just like a classic arcade timer. #atari #fatalrun #genxgrownup @atari - LINKS Gameplay Trailer » https://youtu.be/kUPP3_YctJo Reveal Trailer » https://youtu.be/kXausJuseIM - 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
