  • GenX Martial Arts Craze
    Nov 7 2024
    From movie theaters to living rooms, martial arts were all the rage during our GenX youth. Many of us took up nunchucks, learned a bit of kung fu, and, for a moment, believed we could be the next Bruce Lee or Chuck Norris. In this Backtrack, we reminisce about the pop culture phenomenon that was the Martial Arts Craze!

  • GenX Halloween Experience
    Oct 24 2024
    From homemade costumes to pillowcase candy hauls, Halloween as a GenX kid was something special. It was a simpler time with more freedom, but also prone to real-world scares that have led to a more watered-down Halloween today. In this Backtrack, we’re looking back at our memories of the GenX Halloween experience!

  • REWIND: HBO
    Oct 3 2024
    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!

  • BONUS: Bob DeCrescenzo on Working With Atari
    Sep 28 2024
    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.
