Podcasts about Epyx

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.

Skateboards, Rollschuhe, Surfbretter, BMX-Räder...kaum ein C64-Spiel transportiert die Coolness und den Lifestyle der 80er so gelungen, wie California Games. Nachdem die olympischen Sommer- und Winterspiele bereits bedient worden waren und mit World Games schon ein erster Versuch in ausgefallenere Disziplinen unternommen wurde, schufen Epyx mit ihrem Ausflug in die Welt der Freizeitsportarten der Westküste ihr vielleicht schönstes Wettkampf-Spiel. Hardy und Daniel haben ihre Badehosen aus dem Schrank geholt und die Hawaiihemden angezogen, in Kalifornien will man schließlich dazugehören!

TCW Podcast Episode 209 - Accolade Part 1   In part one of a two-part retrospective, we explore how the pressures of the North American video game crash combined with the desire to create more sophisticated products for home computer platforms led Alan Miller and Bob Whitehead to leave Activision and establish their own company, Accolade. Publishing a mix of internally developed and third-party product, Accolade finds success through several popular sports franchises, including Hardball, Jack Nicklaus Golf and, most significantly, Test Drive. By the beginning of the 1990s, the company remains small, but profitable, and is ready to parlay its success on computer platforms to still greater success in the rapidly growing 16-bit console market.   TCW 126 - Activision and Atari: https://podcast.theycreateworlds.com/e/activision-and-atari/ TCW 009 - History of Mediagenic Part 1: https://podcast.theycreateworlds.com/e/history-of-mediagenic-part-i/ TCW 010 - History of Mediagenic Part 2: https://podcast.theycreateworlds.com/e/history-of-mediagenic-part-ii/ TCW 172 - The Computer Price Wars Part 1: https://podcast.theycreateworlds.com/e/the-computer-price-wars-part-1/ TCW 173 - The Computer Wars part 2: https://podcast.theycreateworlds.com/e/the-computer-wars-part-2/ TCW 174 - The Computer Wars Part 3: https://podcast.theycreateworlds.com/e/the-computer-wars-part-3/ Law of the West (C64): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IrMk9RyCWKI PSI-5 Trading Company (C64): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=56E21gQq1TE Hardball (C64): https://www.youtube.com/watch?app=desktop&v=jejblUhw3hU High Noon Trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g9CR_tib0CA Gunsmoke 1966 opening: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ui-mzTCmZPE Hardball (ZX Spectrum): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IwuKr6sa0S8 Hardball (Sega Genesis): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qkeCqRXihJE Fourth and Inches (C64): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q1672sYyMrg TCW 156 - Madden for some Football: https://podcast.theycreateworlds.com/e/madden-for-some-football/ Sundog: Frozen Empire (Atari ST): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kg_hEY_hy9U Ace of Aces (C64): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=059zzI6sdxo Hardball (PC/DOS): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HzPHxCO17aw Empire Strike Back (Atari 2600): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NcWGvwYWHgY Jedi Arena (Atari 2600): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mKLLpjF0QkM Mean 18 (PC DOS): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_4tX_ZVXwI0 Jack Nicklaus' Greatest 18 Holes of Major Championship Golf gameplay (PC DOS): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0DOeXCiMbG8 Test Drive (PC DOS): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qAj1jPvz8t8 Accolade Comics (C64): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lkjkycHvHsE Test Drive (C64): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dBl2zpfR3Bo TCW 122 - A Casual World Part 1: https://podcast.theycreateworlds.com/e/a-casual-world-part-1/ TCW 123 - A Casual World Part 2: https://podcast.theycreateworlds.com/e/a-casual-world-part-2/ ISHIDO - The Way of the Stones: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3ZmLAC3pVFM TCW 094 - Epyx not Epic: https://podcast.theycreateworlds.com/e/epyx-not-epic/ Star Control (PC DOS): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PSqJ0nPDDzs   New episodes are on the 1st and 15th of every month!   TCW Email: feedback@theycreateworlds.com  Twitter: @tcwpodcast Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/theycreateworlds Alex's Video Game History Blog: http://videogamehistorian.wordpress.com Alex's book, published Dec 2019, is available at CRC Press and at major on-line retailers: http://bit.ly/TCWBOOK1     Intro Music: Josh Woodward - Airplane Mode -  Music - "Airplane Mode" by Josh Woodward.

Welcome to Dev Game Club, where this week we begin a new series on 1980's seminal and genre-naming title, Rogue. We set the game in time and talk about what constitutes the genre before diving into some particulars. Dev Game Club looks at classic video games and plays through them over several episodes, providing commentary. Sections played: A few runs Issues covered: buying the game in a box, being disappointed in the ASCII, being turned off by procedural games, the differences in later games, the lore of the game, playing on a mainframe, the roots of so many games in text format, a top 50 achievement in games, the elements of the Rogue-like, procedural generation, inventory, randomized items, permadeath, getting over the hurdles in types of games, a chain reaction of bad things, clicking with a specific experience, simulating the rogue-like, a long shadow, playing to get a feel, being terrified of letters, trying things at random, a voyage of discovery, knowledge, renaming everything, consistent descriptions, thinking about strategy, the cumbersome bow mechanics, more depth than expected, the possibilities of emergence, anecdote factory, "wait, there are bear traps?" Games, people, and influences mentioned or discussed: Adventure, Atari 2600, Colossal Cave Adventure, Dungeons & Dragons, Egghead Software, Moria, Nethack, Jamie Fristrom, ADOM, Angband, Zork, Infocom, Mystery House, On-Line Systems, Sierra Online, Ken and Roberta Williams, Hunt the Wumpus, Star Trek, Pac-Man, Battlezone, Missile Command, Space Invaders, Activision, Taito, LucasArts, Space Quest/King's Quest, Michael Toy, Glenn Wichman, Ken Arnold, DARPANET, World of Warcraft, Mario (series), Dark Souls, Rogue Legacy, Epyx, Spelunky, Oblivion, Morrowind, PSP/Vita, Andy Nealen, Diablo, Calamity Nolan, Dead Cells, Eggplant (podcast), mysterydip, Clint Hocking, Patrick Redding, Mark Garcia, Artimage, LostLevels, Kirk Hamilton, Aaron Evers.  Next time: Get that Amulet of Yendor!

In the month of March 1988 many games were released for the Commodore 64. In episode eighty-two of Zapped to the Past, we continue our look at some of those games, including the impressive Ikari Warriors, the slippery Slaine, and the sub-par Sub Battle Simulator, and wonder who on earth thought moving options was a good idea…?

We're back after a little break and we have a new member on the show. Louie from Retro Gamer Nation has entered the building and will be joining us from here on. The game we look at this ep is World Games from Epyx and it was a nostalgic trip down memory lane. Did the game live up to its expectations after all these years? Which version is best?

Kennt ihr noch die Epyx-Spiele von damals? Nein, das ist kein Schreibfehler, die Rede ist nicht von Epic, sondern wirklich von Epyx. Summer Games, Winter Games, World Games und natürlich California Games. In eine ähnliche Kerbe schlägt Our Summer Sports auf der Nintendo Switch, da auch dieses Spiel dazu einlädt, seine Freunde vor der heimischen Konsole für einen großen Wettkampf zu versammeln. So wie früher bei Summer Games am C-64. Viel Spaß beim Hören

Two games about American youths wasting their lives. Two games with various ties to Atari. Coincidence? Yes, actually. Sometimes, this stuff just happens. Skate or Die! may bear the Ultra Games branding, but it really owes its existence to Electronic Arts—and ultimately, to the former Epyx crew that EA hired up when Atari Corp. sabotaged that company. And while Paperboy for NES comes to us from Mindscape, the original game debuted in arcades under the Atari Games label, only to be converted to NES by Tengen (AKA Atari Corp.), who was also filing charges against Nintendo and pilfering documents in order to attempt to sabotage THAT company. It's like poetry... it rhymes. Production note: NES footage captured from  @Analogue  Mini. Video upscaled to 720 with XRGB Mini Framemeister.

Trackballs (Centipede, Marble Madness) Dials (pong, arkanoid) Steering wheels and pedals (like every racing game) Light guns (like every arcade shooting game) Rotating Joysticks (Ikari warriors and other SNK games) DDR Consoles(main): Atari Joystick w/ 1 button NES controller gives us the D-PadGenesis does 3 buttons for some reason. 4 face buttons on the SNES, another industry standardSony's Dual shock Controller gives us dual analog, which becomes a gold standard for industry.N64 Controller: it's not that bad   Dreamcast: divisive. But ergonomic. I wish the stick was more grippy. Gamecube: perfection (except that D-pad)   3rd party and peripherals: Fightsticks - still tournament standard for most fighting games, esp. Street fighter. HOTAS or Yoke (hands on throttle and stick) - flight simsLight guns (NES Zapper, Master System, Super Scope)Powerglove Gameboy Tilt ControlsMicrophone - N64, Gamecube SNES Mouse (and N64 mouse for DD) R.O.B.Guitar Hero, Rock Band, etc.   Alternative controllers (that you might play any game with)NES - Max, advantage, dogbone Genesis - 6 button Playstation - the aforementioned dual shock Community:Question: I wanna hear about the weirdest 3rd party controller you've ever used.   Fight Crab Fanatic — 03/28/2022 The Steam controller had a track pad instead of a right thumb stick. The pad had to be edited for every game on Steam. The trackpad had a cool haptic feedback   WondrousWill — 03/28/2022 I've used the Onimusha katana for PS2. I remember it somehow being better than I expected, but not good enough to use a 2nd time. Fortunately, it wasn't mine. It made for a very cool display piece, though.   SpiderShan — 03/28/2022 Do those Wii lightsaber Wiimote holders count? Not really controllers themselves. I've always wanted a DQ Slime controller.   ChrisHL94

Piracy runs rampant in UK arcades PacMan fever is everywhere Commodore debuts the C64 These stories and many more on this episode of the VGNRTM This episode we will look back at the biggest stories in and around the video game industry in March 1982.

Wir haben Winter Games von Epyx (1985) gespielt. Es lässt sich feststellen: es gibt grafisch und soundtechnisch stark unterschiedliche Versionen es gibt spielerisch unterschiedliche Disziplinen wir haben unterschiedliche Meinungen Intro by Maro Schmidt (ScienceOfLogicTV on Youtube)

Matt Householder co-designed Gottlieb's underrated arcade adaptation of Peter Yates's ill-fated Krull, before going on to join Atari's consumer division to work on home adaptations of video arcade hits. With his partner Candi Strecker he went on to create and produce the critically acclaimed California Games (and much more) for Epyx. We chat with Matt about programming in the Seventies, video poker, high-voltage electrocution, Tim Skelly and Komedy Krull.

Wer mal einen C-64 oder einen Amiga gehabt hat, der ist an Epyx nicht vorbeigekommen. Ob Summer,- Winter,- World-, oder California Games – mindestens einen dieser Klassiker hatte damals einfach jeder in seiner Diskettenbox. Und wusstet Ihr, dass Epyx beinahe als Handheld-Pionier in die Retrogaming-Geschichte eingegangen wäre?

Ende der 1970er, Anfang der 80er waren die nerdigen Studenten an den US-Unis im D&D-Fieber und nicht wenige versuchten sich daran, das Flair des Pen&Paper-Rollenspiels auf den Computer zu übertragen. Über einen dieser Versuche haben wir neulich im Podcast zu Wizardry gesprochen, hier ist ein weiterer. Rogue, gestartet als kostenloses Terminalprogramm auf Uni-Mainframes, inspirierte viele Rollenspiele und etablierte eine ganze Reihe von Spielmechaniken, die auch heute noch regelmäßig zum Einsatz kommen. Gunnar und Christian gehen der Faszination am Kämpfen, Sammeln, Suchen und Sterben auf den Grund. Thema: Rogue, 1984 (erste kommerzielle Version), freie Versionen ab 1980 Plattform: freie Versionen auf Mainframe, später (1984ff) Amiga, Schneider CPC, Atari ST, Commodore 64, MS-DOS, Atari 400/800, ZX Spectrum Entwickler: A.I. Design Publisher: Epyx Genre: Rollenspiel (Roguelike) Designer: Glenn Wichman, Michael Toy, Ken Arnold, Jon Lane www.stayforever.de

Dem Atari Lynx war kein großer Erfolg beschieden, obwohl er der erste Handheld mit einem farbigen Bildschirm war und für damalige Verhältnisse tolle Grafikfähigkeiten hatte. Er erschien 1989 fünf Monate nach dem Game Boy, hatte aber am Markt keine Chance, unter anderem wegen des Stromhungers und der schwachen Unterstützung durch die Mutterfirma. Das Spiel Chip's Challenge erschien zunächst exklusiv für den Lynx, wurde dann aber auf eine ganze Reihe von Plattformen portiert. Das Knobelspiel von Epyx überdauerte seine Heimatplattform und überlebte quasi in die Jetztzeit, noch 2014 entwickelte der Schöpfer, Chuck Sommerville mit "Chuck's Challenge 3D" einen spirituellen Nachfolger, finanziert zum Teil per Kickstarter. Christ und Fabian sprechen über den Lynx, die Geschichte des Spiels und das clevere Gameplay. Infos zum Spiel: Thema: Chip's Challenge, 1989 Plattform: Atari Lynx, Amiga, Schneider CPC, Atari ST, Commodore 64, MS-DOS, Windows, ZX Spectrum Entwickler: Epyx Publisher: Atari Genre: Knobelspiel Designer: Chuck Sommerville, Paul Vernon Musik: Alex Rudis www.stayforever.de
