Over the years, I have been slowly trying to cover all of Atari's console releases. The first one I talked about, the Atari 5200, was way back in 2009. Well, I am happy to announce that I have finally covered all of the released consoles now with this podcast about the Atari XEGS. This console was interesting in that it combined a computer and gaming console in an attractive and cohesive packages. Unfortunately for Atari, releasing it in 1987, was just too little too late. And while there was some initial enthusiasm for the system, it quickly faded, buried under the efforts of Nintendo and to a lesser extent Sega. Still, while it might have failed, it was an interesting effort and worth discussing. On today's show, I talk all about the Atari XEGS. Discussing its designer, the company who made it, its reception, release, and much more. This being an Atari release, I found some great retro audio to include that I hope you enjoy. Many consoles have been released that didn't set the world on fire. That doesn't mean they should be forgotten. Atari was trying something that certainly had been attempted before, but I think you could argue that they did it best up to this point.

This week, we chat with game developer and producer Phil Gaskell, whose career spans from typing BASIC on a ZX81 to shaping titles at Psygnosis, Sony Playstation and Warthog. Phil shares behind-the-scenes tales of early PlayStation days, cancelled games, missed payrolls and mafia connections at Gizmondo, and rebooting iconic games like Lemmings and Super Stardust HD.  Contents: 00:00 - The Week's Retro News Stories  36:41 - Phil Gaskell Interview Our Youtube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@TheRetroHourPodcast/videos Please visit our amazing sponsors and help to support the show: Bitmap Books - https://www.bitmapbooks.com Take your business to the next level today and enjoy 3 months of Shopify for £1/month: https://shopify.co.uk/retrohour We need your help to ensure the future of the podcast, if you'd like to help us with running costs, equipment and hosting, please consider supporting us on Patreon: https://theretrohour.com/support/ https://www.patreon.com/retrohour Get your Retro Hour merchandise: https://bit.ly/33OWBKd Join our Discord channel: https://discord.gg/GQw8qp8 Website: http://theretrohour.com Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/theretrohour/ X: https://twitter.com/retrohouruk Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/retrohouruk/ Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/theretrohour.com Twitch: https://www.twitch.tv/theretrohour Show notes: Atari beats ChatGPT: https://tinyurl.com/54pr4bxw PS1 custom motherboards: https://tinyurl.com/mtrdfb3j Head Over Heels sequel: https://tinyurl.com/4whtcrnn Mario Kart 64 on Dreamcast: https://tinyurl.com/jjk8uhyt Discord on Windows 95: https://youtu.be/wxdn30G2LE8

Ni même par un autre modèle d'intelligence artificielle. Non, par… une console Atari 2600 datant de 1977.C'est l'ingénieur Robert Caruso, de chez Citrix, qui a orchestré cette expérience. Il a utilisé un émulateur pour faire tourner un jeu d'échecs développé en 1979 pour la mythique console Atari. Le but ? Voir comment ChatGPT, censé incarner le futur de l'intelligence artificielle, se débrouille face à un moteur de jeu aussi basique. Et je vous explique tout ça en trois points.La partie ne s'est pas bien passée pour ChatGPTPremier point à retenir, la partie ne s'est pas bien passée pour ChatGPT.Il a confondu les pièces, prenant des tours pour des fous, manqué des opportunités stratégiques simples et perdu le fil de la partie à plusieurs reprises.Il a même accusé les graphismes Atari d'être trop abstraits, avant de faire les mêmes erreurs… en notation d'échecs classique.Cette défaite s'explique techniquementDeuxième point, cette défaite s'explique techniquement.ChatGPT est un modèle de langage. Il est conçu pour comprendre et générer du texte, pas pour analyser des positions sur un échiquier en temps réel.À l'inverse, le jeu d'Atari, aussi vieux soit-il, a été programmé exclusivement pour ça. Même avec une mémoire ridicule, 128 octets, il est plus performant que l'IA d'OpenAI dans ce contexte précis.Une leçon importanteTroisième point enfin, cette expérience nous rappelle une leçon importante.Tous les outils d'IA ne se valent pas pour toutes les tâches. Ce n'est pas parce qu'un modèle peut briller dans des conversations ou expliquer des concepts complexes qu'il saura jouer aux échecs comme un pro.Il existe d'ailleurs des extensions spécialisées comme ChessGPT ou des moteurs comme Stockfish, bien plus adaptés à ce genre de défi.Le ZD Tech est sur toutes les plateformes de podcast !

Atari's legendary title, Adventure, was the first of its kind and laid the groundwork for the future of game design. When Ilex, a small team in Brazil, showed Tower of Samsara to us for the first time, we were immediately captivated by its beautiful pixel art and animation and inspired by its mix of old and new gameplay hooks to create a unique metroidvania. Even more surprising was the opportunity to weave the classic Adventure into this sprawling epic, now titled Adventure of Samsara. We walk through the journey of the title from a failed Kickstarter to the impending release with Marcelo Rigon (CEO of Ilex, Creative Director, and Programmer), Gilerme Gaspar (Art Director at Ilex and 2D Artist), and Atari's resident Adventure Enthusiast, David Paige.

Is it a bird? Is it a plane? No, it's... Richard Pryor with a supercomputer? On this episode of the 80s Flick Flashback, Tim Williams is joined by guest co-host Laramy Wells to discuss the 80s Flick sequel that nearly torpedoed the Superman franchise with its emphasis on silly sight-gags instead of the Man of Steel mythos.Will they defend the decision to replace arch-nemesis Lex Luthor with billionaire Ross Webster? Will they be able to make sense of a synthetic Kryptonite and that epic junkyard brawl? Stay tuned as they kick off the new Summer of Sequels 2 series with their nostalgic views and rad review of “Superman III” from 1983 on this episode of the 80s Flick Flashback! Here are some additional behind-the-scenes trivia we were unable to cover in this episode:When producers were first informed that Lana Lang would be a single mother, a comic book was quickly written to explain how Lana arrived at that situation.The video game that Ross Webster plays was created for the film by the Atari Corporation. Atari had also made a "Superman III" video game, based on the film, for the Atari 5200, but it was never released.Sources:Wikipedia, IMDB, BoxOfficeMojoSome sections were composed by ChatGPTWe'd love to hear your thoughts on our podcast!

If you were a fan of “Little House on the Prairie,” an 80's nostalgia buff, or anyone who just appreciates a good conversation, welcome to our Matthew Labyorteaux podcast. You know him as Albert Ingalls from “Little House,” or maybe you recognize his voice from some of your favorite animated adventures. He's an actor, a voice artist and, let's be real, probably made you shed a tear or two back in the day. And all of his success happened while he was struggling with autism. We'll talk about his time on “Little House,” his gaming career with Atari, and his respect for Michael Landon.

Deep within the National Museum of American History's vaults is a battered Atari case containing what's known as “the worst video game of all time.” The game is E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial, and it was so bad that not even the might of Steven Spielberg could save it. It was so loathsome that all remaining copies were buried deep in the desert. And it was so horrible that it's blamed for the collapse of the American home video game industry in the early 1980s. The story of just what went SO wrong with E.T.Produced by Lizzie Peabody for Sidedoor, a podcast from the Smithsonian with support from PRX.The Kitchen Sisters Present is produced by The Kitchen Sisters (Davia Nelson & Nikki Silva) with Nathan Dalton and Brandi Howell.

In 2006, Namco merged with Bandai to form what is now named Bandai Namco Holdings; the standalone Namco brand continues to be used for video arcade and other entertainment products by the group's Bandai Namco Amusements division.The Namco name comes from Nakamura Manufacturing Company, derived from its founder Masaya Nakamura. In the 1960s, it manufactured electro-mechanical arcade games such as the 1965 hit Periscope. It entered the video game industry after acquiring the struggling Japanese division of Atari in 1974, distributing games such as Breakout in Japan. The company renamed itself Namco in 1977 and published Gee Bee, its first original video game, a year later. Among Namco's first major hits was the fixed shooter Galaxian in 1979. It was followed by Pac-Man in 1980. Namco prospered during the golden age of arcade video games in the early 1980s, releasing popular titles such as Galaga, Xevious, and Pole Position.Namco entered the home market in 1984 with conversions of its arcade games for the MSX and the Nintendo Family Computer, later expanding to competing platforms, such as the Sega Genesis, TurboGrafx-16, and PlayStation. Namco continued to produce hit games in the 1990s, including Ridge Racer, Tekken, and Taiko no Tatsujin, but later endured financial difficulties due to the struggling Japanese economy and diminishing arcade market. This led to the 2005 announcement of a merge with toy maker Bandai, which was completed in 2006 as Namco Bandai Holdings; Namco's former video games division was merged into a subsidiary of the holdings company, Namco Bandai Games, now called Bandai Namco Entertainment. Namco is remembered in retrospect for its unique corporate model, its importance to the industry, and its advancements in technology.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 00:51 UTC on Sunday, 1 June 2025.For the full current version of the article, see Namco on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Mastodon at @wikioftheday@masto.ai.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm neural Emma.

The first widely-played video game wasn't Pong, or Donkey Kong, or Space Invaders. It wasn't made by Nintendo or Atari. Instead, imagine a bunch of scruffy young nerds at MIT in 1962, given free rein over the latest computer technology. The result: Spacewar!

David and Rachel discuss the rushed-to-market Atari game that nearly sank the entire video game market. Script by Jillian.

Strap on your jetpack and set your phasers to “mildly confused,” because this week on Play Comics we're rocketing straight into the neon-lit chaos of Buck Rogers: Countdown to Doomsday! That's right—dust off your Sega Genesis and prepare for a wild ride through a universe where the future looks suspiciously like a 1990s living room. Joining us for this cosmic caper is none other than Vasco Pickett, a local legend whose wisdom is as deep as the Martian canyons and whose internet presence is, well… let's just say he's more “boots on the ground” than “cloud in the cloud.” Vasco brings his real-world charm (and possibly a ray gun or two) to help us unravel the tangled web of Buck Rogers lore—from dice-rolling tabletop escapades to pixelated Genesis heroics. So, whether you're a die-hard fan of space operas, a retro gaming aficionado, or just here for the witty banter, grab your space helmet and tune in. It's time to blast off with Play Comics, where the only countdown is to a good time! Learn such things as: Does the main character of a franchise that basically only exists to be centered around that character even need to show up in the game? Will Chris have an existential crisis that an Atari 2600 game can be better than a Sega Genesis game? Will future generations even know the experience of hanging out at the movie theater? And so much more! You can find the Vasco if you already know where he lives or his favorite restaurant or something because you won't find him on the internet.

MobyGames has been THE gaming repository well before Atari's acquisition of it in 2022, and one that gaming professionals and consumers alike are constantly hitting up. As a big fan myself, it was a pleasure to bring on Jim Leanard, co-founder of MobyGames, and Tracy Poff, current developer and long-time contributor. We talk through the website's founding, its decades-long journey to now, and what's currently happening behind the scenes under Atari's stewardship.

Namco's ground-breaking arcade game Pac-Man had its first focus test in a Tokyo cinema foyer on May 22nd, 1980. Created by 24 year-old Toru Iwatani, it was originally called ‘Puck-Man' and designed to appeal to women as well as men. Each of the ghosts - Blinky, Pinky, Inky and Clyde - was programmed to have its own personality using AI routines, creating a sense of ‘character' despite the pixelated rendering. Atari declined the opportunity to distribute the game in the U.S. - where, in just a year, it generated $1billion of revenue - in quarters… In this episode, Arion, Rebecca and Olly explain why the gameplay wipes out after 256 levels; explore the craze that saw a Pac-man strategy textbook shift one million copies; and consider why the game's name was changed to avoid some unfortunate graffiti…  Further Reading: • ‘The game that ate the world: 40 facts on Pac-Man's 40th birthday' (The Guardian, 2020): https://www.theguardian.com/games/2020/may/22/pac-man-video-game-40-years-old • ‘Why Players Around the World Gobbled Up Pac-Man' (Smithsonian Magazine): https://www.smithsonianmag.com/innovation/why-players-around-world-gobbled-up-pac-man-180974902/ • ‘Pac-Man Level 256 - the last level in the game' (The Glitch Gamer, 2017): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FcI42czB2q4 Love the show?

Hosts Frank Cifaldi and Phil Salvador chat with Mark and Michelle Flitman, a father-daughter duo, about Mark's career, his donated collection at the VGHF, and his autobiography: "It's Not All Fun and Games." As a semi-retired video game and toy producer, Mark shares his career highlights as a publisher producer throughout the 90's and into the early 2000's at Konami, Acclaim, Mindscape, Midway, and later, Atari. Most of his titles were licensed properties including The Simpsons (Bart's Nightmare, Virtual Bart), WWF (Royal Rumble and RAW), and several Marvel properties (Maximum Carnage). Michelle shares her efforts to preserve her father's collection, which includes concept art, design documents, and prototypes. You'll hear highlighted notable items like the Eclipse demo by Argonaut and the Monster Dunk project. The conversation also touches on the importance of trust in producer-developer relationships and the challenges of managing licensed properties.Mentioned in the show:Mark Flitman's development papers: https://archive.gamehistory.org/folder/205c628c-5d0a-4de8-a5a5-782f31706ac0.You can listen to the Video Game History Hour every other Wednesday on Patreon (one day early at the $5 tier and above), on Spotify, or on our website.See more from Michelle Flitman:Website: www.flitman.siteSee more from Mark Flitman:Book - Hardcover (Limited Run - Collector's Edition): “It's Not All Fun And Games”Book - Hardcover (Amazon): “It's Not All Fun And Games”Video Game History Foundation:Email: podcast@gamehistory.orgWebsite: gamehistory.orgSupport us on Patreon: /gamehistoryorg

Remember hauling your console and a bulky TV to a friend's house just to play multiplayer games? Or strategically deciding which save files to keep on your precious 8MB memory card? Gaming has evolved at a breathtaking pace, and along the way, many once-essential elements have vanished into obsolescence.This nostalgic journey explores five gaming foundations that once seemed permanent but have crumbled beneath the weight of technological progress. From the chaotic joy of LAN parties – where friends would gather with controllers, snacks, and tangled wires to play Halo 2 until sunrise – to the tactile satisfaction of those bright red buttons on a Kempston joystick that made us feel like we were piloting spacecraft. We reflect on how physical game collections that once proudly lined our shelves have increasingly given way to the convenience of digital downloads, allowing us to remain "melted deep into the sofa" while browsing our libraries.The console wars themselves have transformed dramatically. What was once a battlefield with numerous contenders – Spectrum, Amstrad, Commodore, Atari, Sega, and more – has consolidated into essentially a Microsoft-Sony duopoly, with Nintendo happily playing emperor from the sidelines. And who among us still remembers the strategic chess game of managing limited blocks on memory cards, a challenge that would baffle today's gamers as much as cassette tapes confuse young music fans?What gaming elements do you miss from the past? Share your own gaming nostalgia and let us know which fallen foundations you wish had survived the relentless march of progress.Let us know where we're going wrong....or, like, right...maybe.Support the showFollow the adventure, support the show, listen with both ears - https://linktr.ee/DesertIslandGamer
