This video needs a few more edits, but is otherwise complete.
At first I thought this would only be about Bleem. But as I researched, I learned about the Connectix Virtual Game Station, which is arguably more important.
Either way, this video has both stories. Hope you enjoy!

Here's a still from our upcoming recipe video that will be an extra on the Blu-Ray! I'm cookin' up some North Carolina BBQ :)

Last weekend, I wrapped up the final interview for the Bleem! episode. If everything goes well, that should be the next episode. After that, Super Mario RPG!
Edit: Thanks to those who pointed out the music level was way too loud at the end of this video. I just didn't balance that part for whatever reason! Guess I need more coffee.

Hello everyone! Here is the latest episode of Gaming Historian. A few notes...
- This is the first official episode using the new on-camera microphone
- I tried out color correction for the live shots.
- I had a few complaints about background music volume in the last episode. I paid special attention this time around. Let me know what you think.
Enjoy!
2017-02-02 01:26:52 +0000 UTC View Postjust a heads up - The next episode of Gaming Historian will actually be another court case. We'll be talking about KC Munchkin and the legal battle between Philips and Atari.
Originally we hoped to finish the Bleem episode. But at the last minute, we had an opportunity to talk with someone involved in that legal battle. All while this was going on, we were working on the KC Munchkin script and even talked to the games creator, Ed Averett! It just so happened we finished that episode up early.<...
2017-01-26 22:18:35 +0000 UTC View PostHello Patrons! Here are some updates for you on some projects we are working on.
Blu-Ray
- Remastering episodes has been an experience. Thank goodness I kept all of my project files after finishing videos. There are plenty of tweaks that need to be done, including audio level corrections and fact checking. Audio levels have been especially tough. What sounds good on a computer speaker will sound much different in headphones or on a television. Every single episode is bei...

Hello Patrons!
Blu-Ray production is in full swing. I have 2 cover designs that I'd like your opinion on.
Cover B - This is a general concept. A poster of Mario growing in the background like a evolution poster, along with a stack of retro-related books / consoles.
Cover D - Expedition style. I'm looking at video-game hyroglyphics. Below is a timeline and Tetris forming a pyramid, along with a Kirby UFO.
Which one do you like better & why? Please keep in...

It's that time of the year again where I make my "2017 Plans / Q&A" video. I consider it my personal State of the Union address.
I'm looking for questions you may have about the show. Just post it down below in the comments! I will randomly select five of them and answer them in the video.
Thanks!

Next Episode - Sony vs Bleem! - This was a Patreon voted topic. I've finished up my initial research and am now getting some nitty-gritty details. Hoping to score an interview with the creator of Bleem, so we'll see how it goes!

I'm torn on what to title this video. Help me out by choosing one of the following options
- Super Game Boy
- Super Game Boy / Super Game Boy 2
Last video before the holidays! Hope everyone has a good one.

Just in time for the holiday season, here is a review on Pat Contri's new book "Ultimate Nintendo: Guide to the NES Library."
In 2 weeks, I'll have a video about the Super Game Boy & Super Game Boy 2. After that, I hope to be finished up with the Sony vs Bleem! research.
I'll also have an update soon on the Gaming Historian Blu-Ray! It's going to feature the most popular episodes from 2015, as well as an exclusive episode plus tons of bonus content.

Still working on the next big episode about the Super Mario Bros Movie. In the meantime, here is a review of 'Blinking Light Win', which modifies the loading tray of the NES. I really dig it!
2016-10-12 20:00:25 +0000 UTC View PostHi all,
I'm working on a project that is driven by data. I was wondering if you could provide me your top 10 NES games, ranked (meaning #1 is your favorite).
Just post your top 10 in the comments below.
I would really appreciate it! Thank you!
2016-10-05 21:09:52 +0000 UTC View Poststill doing some minor audio tweaks, but here it is! Let me know what you think!

Wanted to share with you a project I've been working on in my spare time. I wanted to try a new t-shirt design with an alternate retro logo. This was designed by Brian Castleberry, who made the original logo as well!
This won't replace the current logo, but think of it as a label variant. ;)
These will be available for sale in about a month. Patrons will receive 10% off when it goes online!
ESRB episode will be up next week! As usual, you all will get to watch it early. Shoul...

Hello Patrons!
I got an interesting piece of mail the other day: Codes for 3 Disney games! They came in these cool, pixelated postcards. These are redeemable on GOG.com.
You get Aladdin, The Lion King, & Jungle Book. I believe these are just the Sega Genesis versions. If you have never played these games, now is your chance.
Just comment below to enter. One lucky winner will get all three titles. Winner will be chosen in 1 week (Wednesday, September 14th)
2016-09-07 16:17:20 +0000 UTC View PostHello everyone,
Let's talk about future episodes! As you know, the next big episode is the history of the ESRB ratings system. We have finished the script on that one, but want to snag one more interview with Tom Kalinske, who ran Sega of America during that time. Here is what is coming afterward!

It's time to vote on another topic. I always love covering lawsuits, but I figured it was time to cover something that didn't involve Nintendo. I present to you 3 court cases within the video game industry.
Atari vs. Philips - After Atari acquired the license to Pac-Man for home consoles, Philips quickly created a clone called "KC Munchkin" to beat them to stores. Atari sued, and it was one of the first cases of copyright infringement in video gam...

Sorry for the lack of updates on my end. Things have been crazy in the Gaming Historian household because we are moving! Things are being packed away and rooms are getting cleaned out. Hopefully things will be back to normal in about 2.5 weeks.
Besides the Famicom Disk System episode and the History of the ESRB, I'm also working on an episode about Nintendo buying the Seattle Mariners. It's a pretty interesting story, and even involves George W. Bush! You'll ju...
