ATARI 2600 Cosmic Commuter | The Game ACTIVISION Didn’t Want You to PLAY

Shop Fightbox: https://genxgrownup.com/fightbox Cosmic Commuter is a horizontally scrolling shooter designed by John Van Ryzin for the Atari 2600 and published by Activision in 1985. The player pilots a spacecraft that operates like a bus, picking up commuters along your route while avoiding hazards and monitoring fuel. Once at least one person is collected, the player can return to a launch pad and perform the task again with more obstacles. #atari #retrogaming #activision #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

Hasbro’s OPERATION as a 1998 LCD Game? | BZZZzzzzzzztt!

Operation is a battery-operated game of physical skill that tests players' hand-eye coordination and fine motor skills. The game's prototype was invented in 1964 by University of Illinois industrial-design student John Spinello, who sold his rights to renowned toy designer Marvin Glass for $500 and the promise of a job upon graduation, which was not fulfilled. Thirty-plus years later, in 1998, Hasbro published this handheld variant to bring the popular board game into the video game space.
