A heavier focus on thriftting pickups this month on 12-inch vinyl and books/books-and-records, but of course, some great gaming finds, too! Some of these are just fun additions to the collection, but others may turn into full GenXGrownUp videos down the road — so let me know what catches your eye. #thrift #vintage #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 Order of Cosmic Champions » http://www.orderofcosmicchampions.com King of Nerds » http://kingofnerds.tv - CHAPTERS 00:00 August Pick-Ups 02:05 12-Inch Vinyl 06:12 Book & Records 08:28 Books 12:16 What I Didn't Buy 14:15 Touch Me 14:52 Bank Shot Pool 15:43 MGA Handhelds 17:14 What's Next

New Wave Toys has packed six classic Golden Tee arcade games into a beautifully detailed one-sixth-scale RepliCade—but the Complete Bundle adds a full-size trackball controller. I compare the miniature and full-size experiences, including play on a television, to find out whether you need the entire bundle or if the Standard Edition is already enough. #retrogaming #miniature #arcade #genxgrownup @NewWaveToys - LINKS New Wave: https://newwavetoys.com/products/golden-tee-real-arcade-trak-ball-stick-bundle Plug-n-Play Model: https://youtu.be/_tipROKauPQ - 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 Order of Cosmic Champions » http://www.orderofcosmicchampions.com King of Nerds » http://kingofnerds.tv - CHAPTERS 00:00 Mini Golden Tee 02:05 Box & Contents 06:47 Dot Matrix Display 08:02 RepliCade Tour 12:15 DMD Install 13:39 RepliCade Play 15:53 Full-Size Controller 17:36 TV Play 22:20 Conclusion

Strategy X began as a 1981 Konami arcade game before reaching the Atari 2600 in 1983—one of just three games Konami published for the system. It should have been something special. Instead, it feels unfinished, unfair, and barely play-tested. This week on Friday Plays, I revisit a game I once skipped and ask: Am I missing something, or is it really this bad? #atari #retrogaming #atari2600 #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 Order of Cosmic Champions » http://www.orderofcosmicchampions.com King of Nerds » http://kingofnerds.tv

The CULTIC live playthrough continues, and we’re deep into The Asylum at the final checkpoint. We’ve made it through cultists, chaos, creepy halls, and more panic reloads than I’d like to admit — but now it’s time for one last push to see if we can finally survive the Asylum and move on to whatever nightmare CULTIC throws at us next. Join the GXG crew live for more retro FPS mayhem, old-school shooter action, questionable survival choices, and hopefully a clean escape from The Asylum. Come hang out, chat with us, and help me finish this stage! #CULTIC #RetroFPS #BoomerShooter #HorrorFPS #LiveStream #PCGaming #IndieGames #RetroGaming #GenXGrownUp #GXG
