August 02, 2024 BONUS: Howard Scott Warshaw's Yars' Revenge Sequel
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!

August 01, 2024REWIND: Playing Outside
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.

July 25, 2024REWIND: Retired Advertising Mascots
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.

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!

About GenXGrownUp Podcast

From the publisher's feed

Generation X. If you grew up in the 1970s, 1980s, and early 1990s, you know just how cool it was to be a kid back then. We had the greatest music, movies, games, technology, and…
