Atari Historian Curt Vendel passed away unexpectedly last week - he was the first phone interview I ever did on my podcast way back on Episodes 12 and 13 in 2005 to talk about the Atari Flashback 2, which did not emulate an Atari 2600 but was an actual Atari 2600 on one chip. There is a GoFundMe for his family. Dragon Con Went Virtual and it was great! There are a lot of panels on the Digital Media Track YouTube channel that feature myself and Rob Roberts. I was on the British Invaders podcast about the Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy Infocom game. I was on the Almost Daily Discourse podcast talking about random topics. Awesome Games Done Quick 2021 will be virtual like SGDQ was, and volunteer applications open on September 24th. MAGFest cancelled its January convention without Force Majeure, and held a telethon on Twitch to raise $100k to pay all the penalties. Microsoft announced the Xbox Series X and S early due to a leak, and also announced that EA Play was coming to Game Pass. Scott Pilgrim vs. The World: The Game is coming back, and this time it will be on PC so preservation will be easier once the license expires again. Apple is now allowing game streaming services to operate on iOS - as long as each individual game has its own app on the App Store. NVIDIA announced its intentions to buy CPU maker ARM. Then we talk to OLR about conventions and what we're doing with Twitch Channel Points at VOG.

In part 2 of “Atari’s Biggest Mistake” we explore the core reasons why Atari blundered in 1982 with their biggest releases and explore a “what if” scenario right out of The Vertical Blank. What really was Atari’s biggest mistake? Was it ET for the 2600, was it Pac-Man for the 2600? Was it over confidence and inexperience? Or was it some else entirely? In this 2nd part of our brand new investigative series on the real failure of Atari, we delve deep into the exact moments that we feel turned Atari from, the fastest growing company in the world, to a failure 3 years later.

Curt Vendel & Marty Goldberg, Atari Historians   Welcome to Antic, the Atari 8-bit podcast.  I’m Randy Kindig, one of the hosts of the podcast, and your host for this episode.  To give you a little background on this interview and where it came from, I also host another podcast on retrocomputing called Floppy Days, where I cover various vintage computers in the order that they were introduced.  I recently covered the Atari 400 & 800 computers and had asked Curt Vendel and Marty Goldberg, Atari historians, to help cover the history portion of the podcast.  I used excerpts from that interview on the podcast, but only used a small portion of the interview for that.  So, I thought I would air the entire interview, since it covers Atari computers, on Antic.   In this interview we discuss the history of the 400 & 800 in-depth, as well as discussing the passing of Steve Bristow, an Atari icon, the status of the Atari history books by Curt & Marty, and much more.   This interview was conducted February 25, 2015 via Skype.   Teaser Quotes:   “the whole idea was to make a more advanced Atari VCS, Atari 2600”   “when you bring a microprocessor in there, a 6507, and then you're trying to make them as intelligent a peripheral as possible, it can add to the expense”   “When Atari designed the 400/800, it really was designed as a consumer computer”   “there's an ad going around now, it's popular on Twitter, to make fun of how Atari says the computer will never become obsolete”   “they only viewed Atari as an entertainment asset”   Links:   Retro Gamer Magazine   RETRO Magazine   “Atari Inc: Business is Fun" at Amazon   Atari Book site   Atari Museum   Steve Bristow

I’m particularly excited to be bringing you this 2-part episode because I will be covering the Atari 400 & 800 computers.  This first episode will cover the history of these machines and next month I will cover Web sites, emulation, books, software, magazines, tech specs, and much more.  Even more exciting, for both episodes I have several special guest hosts helping me cover these topics.  I think you’re going to enjoy these.   Links Mentioned in the Show:   New Acquisitions Raspberry Pi - http://www.raspberrypi.org/ A2CLOUD - http://appleii.ivanx.com/prnumber6/category/a2cloud/ A2SERVER - http://appleii.ivanx.com/a2server/ Apple II Pi - http://schmenk.is-a-geek.com/wordpress/ Arduino - http://www.arduino.cc/ “Collectible Microcomputers” by Michael Nadeau - http://www.amazon.com/dp/0764316001/?tag=flodaypod-20 Network cartridge for the Atari 8-bits by Mark Dusko and Dan Winslow - Antic Interview #21 - (http://ataripodcast.libsyn.com/antic-interview-21-the-atari-8-bit-podcast-dan-winslow-mark-dusko-atari-8-bit-ethernet-project “Landmarks in Digital Computing: A Smithsonian Pictoral History” by Peggy A.
