Mit einer Reise in vergangene Jahrzehnte, um Erinnerungen an die Spielethemen aufzufrischen, die vor 10, 20, 30 und 40 Jahren für Aufregung sorgten. Beim Nachblättern in alten Magazinen begegnen wir zum Beispiel einem alten Schleicher in offener Spielwelt (2015), einem ungewöhnlichen Adventure-Krimi (2005) und dem Bedürfnis nach Temporausch (1995). Im Bonussegment für Patreon-Unterstützer verschlägt es uns auch ins Jahr 1985, wo Elite auf dem C64 landete und Ocean das Spiel zu einer angesagten Popband veröffentlichte.

This week we catch up with legendary C64 composer Jeroen Tel of Maniacs of Noise fame. Jeroen takes us back to the early days of programming music directly in machine code, pushing the SID chip to its limits, and soundtracking classics like Cybernoid, Hawkeye, Supremacy, and Turbo OutRun.

In dieser Episode von Dirty Man's Left Leber widmen sich Holger und Arne allerlei Themen, die von energiereichen Getränken bis hin zu nostalgischen Videospielen reichen. Zunächst schmecken die beiden einen Energy-Drink namens ESN Crank Energy, der geschmacklich für einige Lacher sorgt, während sie über die Eigenheiten des Getränks philosophieren und an frühere Erlebnisse in Großraumbüros anknüpfen. Das Gespräch wandert weiter zu einem von Arne vorgeschlagenen Spiel namens Cyberdyne Warrior für den C64. Arne erklärt, wie das Spiel funktioniert und teilt seine Erfahrungen und Herausforderungen beim Spielen, insbesondere mit dem mehrschichtigen Layout der Spielwelt. Holger bringt seine Schwierigkeiten zum Ausdruck, sich in dem Spiel zurechtzufinden, während Arne die Bedeutung einer Anleitung betont, die ihm half, die Spielmechanik besser zu verstehen. Trotz der Herausforderungen erinnert sich Arne nostalgisch daran, wie sehr ihn das Spiel in seiner Kindheit gefesselt hätte. Die beiden wechseln dann das Thema, als Holger erwähnt, dass er die nächste Episode des Spiels "Z" auf dem Amiga ausprobieren möchte. Auf eine humorvolle Weise diskutieren sie, wie schwierig es war, bestimmte Spiele im Internet zu finden, bevor Google populär wurde. Im Gespräch über die Entwicklung von sozialen Medien beantwortet Arne die Änderung von Twitter zu Mastodon und reflektiert über die Wichtigkeit von Feedback für Content-Ersteller, insbesondere für kleinere. Arne teilt eine persönliche Anekdote über seine neue Couch und die Herausforderungen, die mit dem Umzug verbunden sind, einschließlich der physischen Anstrengung und der Freuden, die mit neuen Möbeln einhergehen. Diese Anekdote führt zu einem allgemeinen Austausch über moderne Produktkäufe, darunter auch Arnes neue Nintendo Alarmovecker, dessen Vor- und Nachteile er abwägt. Ein weiterer Höhepunkt der Episode ist Arnes Diskussion über ein Buch von Marc-Uwe Kling, dass er kürzlich gelesen hat. Er teilt seine Gedanken über den Inhalt und die emotionale Wirkung des Buches auf seine Leserfahrung. Holger hingegen hat seine eigene Leseliste und bringt zum Ausdruck, wie die Art und Weise, wie er liest, durch die Länge von Kapiteln beeinflusst wird. In einer lebhaften Diskussion über Videospiele und die Alltagserfahrungen des Spielens, reflektieren die beiden über ihre Beziehung zu Spielen und Geschichten, die durch sie erzählt werden. Mit einem Ausblick auf kommende Projekte, unter anderem Holgers App-Entwicklung und ein weiteres Videospiel von Arne, beschließen sie die Episode und laden die Zuhörer ein, an ihren Erlebnissen teilzuhaben.

Soffan bjuder på tv-sport i form av de tre bästa spelen till Nintendo och C64. Det var alltså nån som önskade detta. Oklar anledning men jag föll till föga för förlustelsen. Tack Elon för introt, som alltid!

In dieser Abschweifung wird's nostalgisch: Sascha nimmt dich mit in seine digitale Kindheit und Jugend – vom Schneider CPC 464 über den C64 bis hin zum 386er mit 387-Coprozessor. Es geht um kaputte Slotbleche, Netzwerkkarten, Fraktale, die einen Tag zum Rendern brauchten, und den Zauber der ersten Zeile BASIC-Code. Warum Computertechnik früher so faszinierend war, wie man Programme aus Zeitschriften abtippte, was es mit IRQ 7 und dem Soundkarten-Streit auf sich hatte und warum moderne Rechner zwar leistungsfähig, aber auch irgendwie... langweilig geworden sind – all das hörst du hier. Eine Hommage an eine Zeit, in der man sich Wissen noch erarbeiten musste – und genau deshalb so viel tiefer eintauchte.

We've been asked to remove an earlier episode, hence we have to put this is a placeholder to make the amount of episodes match again with the actual amount of published episodes

If anything, Microsoft let these things continue for too long with no viable deliverables But what is Xbox? Looking at the platform and what Microsoft has done under Phil Spencer paints a very different picture than all the moaning we see on social media Game Pass was key to getting Satya Nadella to keep Xbox going, but after the Activision acquisition, the day and date promise was unworkable.

Es ist endlich so weit: Unsere Retrorunde ist wieder da! Bereits vor einigen Monaten hatten wir eine Umfrage bei den UnterstützerInnen der „Einflussreichen Insider“-Klasse und höher gestartet und ihnen zwei legendäre C64-Spiele zur Auswahl gestellt: Wizball und Paradroid. Am Ende siegte klar Paradroid aus der Feder des Briten Andrew Braybrook – ein innovatives Actionspiel mit strategischen Elementen, das 1985 den 8-Bit-Heimcomputer von Commodore im Sturm eroberte. Warum dies der Fall war, wie der Hit zu Stande kam, welche Nachfolger und Varianten existieren und warum Paradroid bis heute irgendwie einmalig geblieben ist – all das und vieles mehr klären Benedikt und Andy in der neuen Retrorunde! Zudem kommt Patrick Becher vom Podcast Retrokompott in einem ausführlichen O-Ton zu Wort. Viel Spaß beim Hören! Benedikt & Andy

Our show takes us back in time to the pleasant summer vibes of Malibu Bikini Volleyball, a no-frill sports game released in 1993 for the underdog Atari Lynx handheld, developed by Hand Made Software and composed by Paul Tonge. Hand Made Software was a boutique first- (or second-) party game developer that produced original games exclusively for the Lynx and Jaguar from about 1990 to 1995, with a handful of previously unreleased games making their way out in the early 2000s. While this game is a pretty self explanatory late-era volleyball game for the Lynx, the music is definitely worth checking out. English composer Paul Tonge is a multi-talented musician, sound designer, sound driver developer, game producer and music director that worked from the late 80s to the early 2000s, starting on the C64 and Amiga and eventually retiring from games around the GBA era. He worked on games such as: Tinhead, The Tick, George Foreman for Real, and Samurai Jack: The Amulet of Time as well as working on a number of sound drivers across multiple console generations. It's a leisurely episode where we finally take the time for a deeper dive on Lynx sound and graphics hardware. We also cover Paul's work with "Sound Images", his joint audio production company with composer Tony Williams, and Paul's eventual work with Software Creations, the British software developer that was a powerhouse of game audio talent in the 90s even if their games were just alright. In any case, sit back and enjoy this early 90s mixtape of beachy volleyball tunes!

From a bedroom coder to Game Developer's Conference OG to the creator of one of the greatest one-on-one action strategy games of the 8 bit era, Jeff Johannigman worked for some of the most legendary companies of the 80s, Epyx, Electronic Arts, and Origin.   In Part 1, we talk about those early days, including the making of games such as G.I. Joe and Savage Empire and working with important figures like Ihor Wolosenko, Dani Bunten, Chris Crawford, Warren Spector, and Richard Garriot. Jeff's insight and storytelling skill make this a wonderful chat.

New 1.1 version simplifies the mod required to remove the jailbars with a new mod for the board running form a socket that the VICII slots in to.  https://www.tindie.com/products/theretrochannel/rfoff-commodore-64-and-128-v11/  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dYOJ08FkRaE  Cody - https://www.brewotaku.com/category/issues/  Eric - FlippyDrive - Quick Update: Firmware, Shipping, and What's Coming Next | Crowd Supply  https://www.crowdsupply.com/team-offbroadway/flippydrive/updates/quick-update-firmware-shipping-and-whats-coming-next  Cody – More Atari Physical Games! https://atari.com/collections/7800?srsltid=AfmBOoo0CHNSiLeSc15cDCWtGs7i8oyGuBkMbXPgqvHnWrO9WsO_QPI1  Cody - https://www.retronews.com/flea-and-flea-2-released-on-ngage/  Tim – Legend of Zelda sneakers?! - Bull Airs' new sneakers (trainers) that are Legend of Zelda themed at crazy collector prices!  https://www.bullairs.com/product-page/l-o-z-customer-sb-dunk-themed-low-top  CODY - https://www.retronews.com/homebrew-factory-claim-a-revolution-for-retro-gamers/  Eric - Far Cry 3 Reborn is the remaster we've been waiting on - PC - GAMINGbible  https://www.gamingbible.com/news/platform/pc/far-cry-3-reborn-remaster-405163-20250327  Eric - Unlocking Achievements on the NES - Hackster.io  https://www.hackster.io/news/unlocking-achievements-on-the-nes-549dede0e20f  Cody -  https://www.timeextension.com/news/2025/04/microsoft-created-a-demo-of-quake-ii-using-ai-and-its-gone-about-as-well-as-youd-expect  Eric - Handmade Trinitron-style retro monitors - Boing Boing  https://boingboing.net/2025/03/30/handmade-trinitron-style-retro-monitors.html  Eric - Recade Wants To Be Netflix For Arcade Games, But It Needs Your Help | Time Extension  https://www.timeextension.com/news/2025/04/recade-wants-to-be-netflix-for-arcade-games-but-it-needs-your-help  Please give us a review on Apple Podcasts!

One of my favorite C64 games! Collect flags, smash enemy cars, and travel... UP'N DOWN!

1985 erscheint mit Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego? ein Spiel, das Bildung und Unterhaltung auf ungewöhnliche Weise verbindet. Entwickelt von Brøderbund, schlüpft der Spieler in die Rolle eines Ermittlers bei der ACME Detective Agency und jagt Carmen Sandiego, die mysteriöse Meisterdiebin, und ihre Bande um die ganze Welt. Dabei sammelt man Indizien, lernt geografische Fakten und kombiniert clever, um die richtige Fährte zu finden. Christian und Gunnar sprechen in dieser Folge über die Entstehung des Spiels, seine ungewöhnliche Mischung aus Lernspiel und Detektiv-Abenteuer und wie es in den 80er Jahren den Grundstein für eine langlebige Spielereihe legte. Wir haben für diese Episode mit einem der Macher des Spiels gesprochen: Lauren Elliott. Seine Stimme hört ihr an ein paar Stellen im Podcast, das Interview kommt aber wie gewohnt auch nochmal separat. Infos zum Spiel: Thema: Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego?
