We talk about our memories of 80's and 90's arcade's, what made them special, and why they couldn't exist in today's society, or could they? I personally do not think so but it's something we discuss in this episode.
On the first episode of the reworked Atari Weekly Podcast, we have Nick, the Geekstorian on to talk gaming history, gaming in general, and the popularity of his Geekstorian Youtube channel!
We briefly go over some "adult" games from Atari 2600 to 3D0 before diving into our own gaming secrets, and then the show gets completely off the rails.
One of my favorite things to collect recently has been the 1/6th scale replica arcade machines from New Wave Toys. They also have so much other stuff, but these machines are high quality, limited runs, and when they sell out, go for much higher prices on EBAY. These aren't your cheapo $20 Wal-mart specials!
PandaSub2000 drops in and we talk about a lot of topics from our struggles on Youtube, to the rise of independent content creators, to gaming and movies!
Panel discussion on Atari 50th Anniversary announcements, what they did, didn't do, with Mockduck, Relic Gamer, and Ballistic Coffee Boy! Join in on the fun!
Special Guest Carl Forhan joins me on the Atari Weekly Podcast to talk about the new games he sells on Songbird Productions for the Atari Lynx, Jaguar, and Nuon!!
H3rb from Lost Astronaut Studios joins me to talk about his game Apolune 2 which hopefully will be releasing soon for the Atari VCS as it's been a long time coming, and we go into those details as well where Atari isn't necessarily making it easy for developers to get content on the VCS which it needs desperately.
Apolune 2 is a pixel art, casual couch co-op deep space mining/survival game. The game has simple gameplay mechanics, it's pick up and go, and players can drop in an out of games on the fly. There's action, humor, and enough content to keep you buys for the price and I enjoyed the game very much when I was testing it.

Relicgamer and I discuss the 83 crash and draw parallels to todays gaming industry to see if the market could be headed or is maybe already in another industry crash scenario.
Had a great conversation with Megan McDuffee, the music and sound behind the Atari ReCharged series as well as other movie trailers, tv shows, and video games.

Relic Gamer joins me on the show to talk about 3 maybe 4 upcoming VCS games plus the future of the podcast with us looking into doing new segments and having guests on from other aspects of classic gaming not necessarily Atari related.
This week RelicGamer and Mockduck join me and we discuss our top 10 Atari 2600 lists. The great thing with Atari 2600 is there's so many good and fun games that none of the games between the 3 of us shared a ranking and there was only 1 game that repeated!
We'll talk with the head of marketing at Antstream, a gaming subscription service that focuses specifically to retro games. We'll discuss what's next for the service as well as any news for Atari VCS and Atari fans in general!
I used to give the 5200 a lot of hate way back in the day before I actually owned one because the screen shots and stuff really do not do the system justice. Yes it has it's issues, but if you can get a controller that mostly works, you can have a really good time, plus we'll look at Atari Age again where you can still buy new games for the 5200!!
The main topic is Gravitar Recharged. As a tester for the VCS, I have played the game even though it's not scheduled for release until late May. Is this going to be the best in the series so far?? Also, we'll look at a couple of upcoming games from the same developer that brought us Pedra!, puzzle tile game.
