Episode 150: Atari 7800 & the raw deal
Added 2018-04-30 13:32:10 +0000 UTCThis one is fresh from Midwest Gaming Classic, recorded two weeks ago — a two-parter focused on Atari. First, we have an overview of the Atari 7800 from one of its foremost enthusiasts, followed by our live panel audio in which we explore the causes of the "Atari crash" and posit that mmmmaybe it wasn't completely something that happened because of Atari. I realize it would have made a little more sense to have the live panel first, but… it's a live panel, so the audio isn't studio-quality. Better to treat it as a sort of back-up segment.
Anyway, the 7800 conversation was extremely educational for me, and I hope you enjoy it. And if you couldn't make it to our panel a couple of weeks ago, I hope you enjoy that, too! — Jeremy
Episode description: A two-parter from Midwest Gaming Classic 2018. First, Kevin Bunch and Brian Clark talk the history of Atari 7800 with Jeremy. Then, as a backup, Marty Goldberg (and Bob!) join Jeremy and Kevin to explain how the Atari Crash wasn't totally Atari's fault.
Comments
Only listened to the studio segment so far, but excited for the second half. And the new knowledge that there's a version of Commando with NES mechanics and C64 music has me even more excited.
