    REWIND: HBO
    2024/10/03
    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
    2024/09/28
    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.

  • REWIND: GenX Future Predictions

    REWIND: GenX Future Predictions
    2024/09/12
    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.

  • Satanic Panic of the '80s

    Satanic Panic of the '80s
    2024/08/29
    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.
