When cable TV first came out, most people got it for the clear reception but not necessarily for any additional content. That changed when HBO hit the market. Being able to watch full movies without commercials revolutionized TV and showed what cable could be. It was like coming out of the dark ages for us Generation X’ers!

When the Atari 7800+ was announced, we also got word that a handful of masterful titles - formerly independent homebrew games by developer Bob DeCrescenzo - were being adopted by the mothership as official Atari games, including a sequel to Crystal Castles, Bentley Bear's Crystal Quest. Jon sits down with BobD to discuss his history with Atari, his start in homebrew development, and the experience of having his indie games christened as authorized games. #atari #homebrew #7800 #genxgrownup  🟢 S H O P (affiliate) Atari 7800+ » https://amz.run/9UKE Atari CX-78+ » https://amz.run/9UKG Space Duel 7800 » https://amz.run/9UKH Berzerk 7800 » https://amz.run/9UKI Caverns of Mars » https://amz.run/9UKJ M Network Collection » https://amz.run/9UKK Asteroids Deluxe 7800 » https://amz.run/9UKL Frenzy 7800 » https://amz.run/9UKM Bentley Bear 7800 » https://amz.run/9UKN Bounty Bob 7800 » https://amz.run/9UKP Epyx Games Collection » https://amz.run/9UKR RealSports Collection » https://amz.run/9UKS http://genxgrownup.com/amazon 🟢 S U B S C R I B E http://GenXGrownUp.com/yt 🟢 P A T R E O N https://patreon.com/genxgrownup 🟢 M E M B E R S H I P  Early access, custom emoji & more! https://bit.ly/395HEr9 🟢 G X G  O N  T W I T C H https://twitch.tv/genxgrownup 🟢 M E R C H http://GenXGrownUp.com/merch 🟢 P O D C A S T http://GenXGrownUp.com/pod 🟢 D I S C O R D http://GenXGrownUp.com/discord 🟢 S O C I A L http://fb.me/GenXGrownUp http://GenXGrownUp.com/twitter https://www.tiktok.com/@genxgrownup https://www.instagram.com/genxgrownup/ 🟢 W E B S I T E http://GenXGrownUp.com 🟢 T H E M E "Grown Up" by Beefy » http://beefyness.com Learn more about your ad choices.

When Generation X dreamed about the future, we pictured either a technological paradise with flying cars, helpful robots, no illness and rocket ships or we pictured a wasteland brought on by some human action. Neither came true (luckily in the latter), but we’re still a ways off from where we thought we would be by now. In this Backtrack we look at what we thought the future would hold and discuss some of the things we thought we would have and don’t, and what we have that we never would have predicted.

There’s probably not a GenX’er out there who wasn’t somehow impacted by the introduction of the Sony Walkman. The ability to carry the music you want to hear and listen to it wherever you go was seen as nothing short of a miracle in technology.

In the 1980s, a wave of fear swept across America, fueled by rumors of satanic cults, ritualistic murders, and child abductions. This wave, known as the Satanic Panic, led to mass hysteria, witch hunts, and even false convictions. In this Backtrack, we delve into the origins, impact, and enduring legacy of this dark chapter in American history.

Yars' Revenge is a video game designed by Howard Scott Warshaw for the Atari Video Computer System. The game involves a fly-like humanoid alien race known as Yars attacking their arch-rivals the Qotile who have destroyed their habitable planets in their solar system. The players control a Yar and fire or devour an energy shield protecting the Qotile to finish off the enemy with their Zorlon cannon. We've seen a number of re-imaginings and successors to Yars, but thus far, Howard Scott Warshaw's design for a true evolution and sequel remains on the drawing board. In this exclusive interview, we speak with HSW about the current state of his sequel and learn how to we can help get it over the finish line! 🟢 L I N K S https://forums.atariage.com/ https://atari.com/ 🟢 S H O P (affiliate) Once Upon Atari » https://amz.run/9RDu http://genxgrownup.com/amazon 🟢 S U B S C R I B E http://GenXGrownUp.com/yt 🟢 P A T R E O N https://patreon.com/genxgrownup 🟢 M E M B E R S H I P  Early access, custom emoji & more! https://bit.ly/395HEr9 🟢 G X G  O N  T W I T C H https://twitch.tv/genxgrownup 🟢 M E R C H http://GenXGrownUp.com/merch 🟢 P O D C A S T http://GenXGrownUp.com/pod 🟢 D I S C O R D http://GenXGrownUp.com/discord 🟢 S O C I A L http://fb.me/GenXGrownUp http://GenXGrownUp.com/twitter https://www.tiktok.com/@genxgrownup https://www.instagram.com/genxgrownup/ 🟢 W E B S I T E http://GenXGrownUp.com 🟢 T H E M E "Grown Up" by Beefy » http://beefyness.com Learn more about your ad choices.

One, two, three…. NOT IT! How many times have you started an exhausting game of tag with those words? In this week’s GenXGrownUp Backtrack we remember playing outside. Sometimes because we wanted to and sometimes because our parents banned us from the house! We talk about playing in the dirt, playing alone and other uses we found for “unstructured” time.   YouTube » GenXGrownUp.com/yt Facebook » fb.me/GenXGrownUp Twitter » GenXGrownUp.com/twitter Website » GenXGrownUp.com Merchandise » GenXGrownUp.com/merch Theme: “Grown Up” by Beefy » beefyness.com Show Notes The death of Recess » thebestschools.org/magazine/death-of-recess/ Is playing in the dirt a good thing? » bit.ly/2NcM5r0 Army men on Amazon » amzn.to/2n0TZ8I Biking freedom » www.grcycling.com/stories/cycling-sense-freedom/ MLB Kids » mlb.mlb.com/mlb/kids/index.jsp Best basketball courts in NYC » cbsloc.al/2M1i5Kg Kickball leagues » www.kickball.com/kickball The basics of stickball » www.streetplay.com/stickball/introduction.shtml Skelzies (It’s real!) » itshotlinks.com/games/skelzie.php Tag the movie » www.tagthemovie.com/ Twists on hide and seek » www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2008/nov/23/13 What is Manhunt? » www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=manhunt How to play kick the can » www.wikihow.com/Play-Kick-the-Can Why playing alone is good for kids » bit.ly/2HcpWHa Email the show » podcast@genxgrownup.com Visit us on YouTube » GenXGrownUp.com/yt Learn more about your ad choices.

Back in the 70s & 80s, nothing sold a product better than a great mascot or spokesperson. Everyone knew Mr. Wipple, Chalie the Tuna, and the Maytag repairman, and they became almost synonymous with the products they represented. We thought that they’d be around forever but times change and many of our beloved characters have been replaced. In this Backtrack we remember some of our favorites and talk about what made them so memorable.

In the early ’80s, Eddie Murphy’s star was on the rise, as was the new genre of “comedy buddy cop” movie. In 1984, those two trends collided in a film that both thrilled audiences and skyrocketed Murphy’s fame. In this Backtrack, we’re driving our Chevy Nova back to 1984’s, Beverly Hills Cop!

Forty-five years ago, a southern action-adventure comedy set in rural Georgia hit the small screen. For seven seasons in the early ’80s, we followed the adventures of Bo & Luke Duke and their ’69 Dodge Charger. In this Backtrack, we look back on the wildly successful CBS television series, The Dukes of Hazzard!
