  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 and beyond.   In Part 2, we talk about working on Ultima for the Gameboy, porting Dynamix titles to the Amiga, rediscovering his strategy roots at Microprose and finally deciding to exit the industry on moral and personal grounds. Jeff's insight and storytelling skill make this a wonderful chat.

Welcome to Dev Game Club, where this week we begin a new series on 1999's Outcast, from Appeal and Infogrames. We first talk about this past weekend's charity event, before setting the game in its time and discussing its early presentation. Dev Game Club looks at classic video games and plays through them over several episodes, providing commentary. Sections played: Through tutorial Issues covered: Defeating Games for Charity, variety of streamers, offerings to the foundation, the speedrun seed, commenting on our own game, more memories of Jedi Starfighter, how a developer sees a game vs a player, a big doodyhead, the crossover of European games, setting the game in its time, not fitting in with others of its time, a weird company in gaming history, not being sure what's in the game, a parody of 1980s action heroes, pop culture origins, proper noun soup and a lexicon, waking up in another place, doling out too much worldbuilding at once, othering non-Western cultures, building on golden era science fiction, exploring the starting area, lots of verbs, discovering by exploring, technically first person, lack of quest markers, manipulating voxel density, using voxels differently, using voxels as rendering and simulation vs rendering only, ray-tracing, advances in hardware and looking back on old research, constructive solid geometry and tessellation, finding limitations, popularity in other regions, big in Japan.

X-Com: UFO Defense (or UFO: Enemy Unknown outside North America) and its terrifying underwater sequel, X-Com: Terror from the Deep. Developed by MicroProse and released in the 1990s, these games combined base-building, resource management, and squad-based tactical combat to create a genre-defining experience. Hosted on Acast.

Sea Power ist ein vielversprechender Marinesimulator, der mit seiner beeindruckenden Detailtreue und dem hohen Maß an Realismus punktet. Die realistische Darstellung von Schiffen, Flugzeugen und Waffensystemen aus dem Kalten Krieg sowie die spannende Mischung aus Strategie und Taktik bieten ein intensives Spielerlebnis. Besonders für Fans von Militärsimulationen, die Wert auf historische Genauigkeit legen, ist Sea Power ein echter Leckerbissen. Leider wird das Potenzial des Spiels durch den derzeit sehr begrenzten Inhalt eingeschränkt. Die geringe Anzahl an Missionen und das Fehlen einer Kampagne schränken den Wiederspielwert ein. Auch die Tutorials sind für Anfänger noch zu rudimentär. Strategen werden zwar auf ihre Kosten kommen, doch für Gelegenheitsspieler ist die Eingewöhnungsphase möglicherweise zu steil. Fazit: Sea Power ist ein ungeschliffener Diamant, der mit etwas mehr Feinschliff zum absoluten Highlight im Genre werden könnte.

Igancio is a video game developer based in Uruguay that loves the style of 90s RTS games. So much so that he's started making his own. Dying Breed is a single player RTS game inspired by classics like Red alert and will be published by the iconic Microprose. The publisher of games like Sid Meier's Civilization, Worms Armageddon, and Rollercoaster Tycoon, just to name a few. To me, his story of how he started making the game and his struggle to find a publisher is just as interesting as the game he's trying to create. If I had an infinite budget, I'd hire a crew to follow him around for a year and make a documentary on what it's like making an indie game in Uruguay in 2024. But I don't, so this podcast will do. We talked about why he loves this genre so much, what does a modern day indie developer look like, is he using AI, how hard was it to find a publisher and lots more!

In this fascinating episode, we chat with Ed Magnin. From his first encounter with video games to pioneering developments on the Apple II, Ed shares his unique insights and experiences. We explore the early days of online services in 1979, his involvement with iconic companies like Cinemaware and MicroProse, and the intricacies of porting games across platforms like the Amiga, Apple II, and GameBoy. Ed's passion for 1950s sci-fi and its influence on his work, the dynamic culture at Cinemaware, and his journey through the evolving gaming landscape from the SNES to mobile gaming are all on the table.

Zu diesem Spiel muss man nicht viel sagen: Sid Meier's Civilization erschien 1991 bei Microprose und nahm, nach zögerlichem Verkaufsstart, die PC-Welt im Sturm. Es erweckte das Strategiegenre, half, den PC als Spieleplattform zu etablieren und legte den Grundstein für eine lang laufende Serie. Christian und Gunnar reisen für euch durch die Jahrtausende, viel Spaß beim Hören! Hinweis: Die heutige Folge enthält Auszüge aus einem englischsprachigen Interview mit Bruce Shelley, das Chris geführt hat - in dieser Fassung hier auf der Seite und im offenen Feed sind sie deutsch nachvertont. Es gibt aber eine alternative Version, in der wir Shelleys Aussagen im originalen Englisch belassen haben, je nachdem, was euch besser gefällt, solltet ihr also die OT-Version (https://www.patreon.com/posts/91875040) oder die im offenen Feed hören. Ach, und nochwas: Diese Folge ist sozusagen ein Remake, wir hatten über Civ schon mal, relativ oberflächlich, in der uralten Episode 10 gesprochen. Infos zum Spiel: Thema: Sid Meier's Civilization, 1991 Plattform: MS-DOS, später Amiga, PC-98, Atari ST, Windows, Macintosh, SNES, Sony PlayStation, Sega Saturn Entwickler: Microprose Publisher: Microprose Genre: Globalstrategie Designer: Sid Meier, Bruce Shelley, Michael Haire Musik: Jeff Briggs Podcast-Credits: Sprecher: Christian Schmidt, Gunnar Lott, mit Einspielern aus einem Interview mit Bruce Shelley - die deutschen Stimmen von Sid Meier und Bruce Shelley sind Martin Kuupa und Dennis Richtarski Audioproduktion: Christian Schmidt Titelgrafik: Paul Schmidt Intro, Outro: Nino Kerl (Ansage); Chris Hülsbeck (Musik) www.stayforever.de

TCW Podcast Episode 193 - Microprose Part 2   In part two of our look at Microprose we focus on the growth of the company with popular games like Gunship, and Sid Meier's Pirates. Wild Bill continued his aggressive push to expand the company moving into the UK market and even the coin-op space. This unfortunately led Sid to step back from the company and become a contractor. Wild Bill took the company public to help cover the costs of missteps but eventually became embroiled in his own troubles with pressure from the board. It was during a time when he was forced to step back from the company, and the release of problematic adventure and role-playing games led the company to be acquired by Spectrum Holobyte.   Silent Service: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qz4shxxdero Gunship DOS: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fCZUc0d8ol8 Gunship C64: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A8bBV7uzbSs Airborne Ranger: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6wEH2c98-Nc Rules of Wooden Ships and Iron Men: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NlT6i1DOeUM Sid Meier's Pirates: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=owSCqgpv9AA How to be a Pirate Captain: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3YFeE1eDlD0 How to be a Pirate Quartermaster: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T0fAznO1wA8 Captain Blood Trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4HmoyQcoBd0 Arcade F15 Strike Eagle: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_7TK56745MM Command HQ: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pXFwn29ZEpQ Rex Nebular and the Cosmic Gender Bender: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OztH7m4wQzQ What Magic is This?

TCW Podcast Episode 192 -Microprose Part 1   In the first part of our look at Microprose, we cover the central characters of Wild Bill Stealey and Sid Meier. The duo came from very different backgrounds that helped inform the creative and business powerhouse. Wild Bill had to grow up at a young age after his father's death. This led to him having to manage the home finances, negotiate out of debt, and learn many of the skills that would help him in his military, and business careers. We have covered some of Sid's history in episode 50, but we have a lot of new information with additional research and Sid's autobiography. We cover Microprose's founding with a bet between the two at a convention in Los Vegas, and Wild Bill pushing to have his dream of playing a video game able to realistically represent what it was like to fly a jet fighter.   TCW 050 - Civilizing Sid Meier: http://podcast.theycreateworlds.com/e/civilizing-sid-meier/ War Games Ending: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s93KC4AGKnY Formula 1 Racing (Atari 800): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0H5NhhmnwBU Hamilton Satisfied: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oAu3_H5ECpw Atari 800 Star Raiders: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L8YdO6PYViw Red Barron Arcade: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M6tbmgml504 Hellcat Ace: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CwYaQS59UGQ Chopper Rescue Atari 800: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rUyebYD5UO0 Floyd of the Jungle: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sKuH6oXD8Pg Wingman: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j5mMwgrqyYk MIG Alley Ace: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1YRAQGMi9uc Solo Flight Atari 800: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6AGR7DkOkyQ F15 Strike Eagle: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=COXuDENwXlI Example of the F15E Strike Eagle in Digital Combat Simulator: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OFDGXcWHYwM   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.

Featuring: Ammosart, Belghast, Grace, Kodra, Tamrielo, and Thalen   Hey Folks! This week we are down an Ash but have the triumphant return of Kodra from Origins.  This week we talk about the self-DDoS of Twitter and Kodra chimes in on the return of P-Speed to a new Super Mario Game.  From there we talk a bit about the newly announced Guild Wars 2 expansion Secrets of the Obscure.  Kodra gives us a bit of a run down on his experiences at Origins and how he has finally played in the most ubiquitous LARP Vampire the Masquerade.  We are somewhat incredulous as for several of us… that is the ONLY LARP we have ever participated in.  Grace gets bit by the Honkai Star Rail bug finally and talks a bit about their experiences.  Nimona is out and we talk a bit about the steps it took to get to this point as well as a bit about the mixed bag that is The Little Mermaid live-action film.  Finally, we wrap things up with a quick topic about Microprose actually still existing in some form and gobbling up former properties like getting back the license to Falcon.   Topics Discussed: The Twitpocalypse P-Speed Returns Guild Wars 2 Secrets of the Obscure Origins Convention Vampire LARP Honkai Star Rail Nimona Is Out The Little Mermaid Live Action Microprose exists and gets Falcon back

New series! We are starting X-COM: UFO Defense which is a novelization of the original MicroProse game created by the Nick and Julian Gollop. This game ultimately inspired the remake from Firaxis which did away with that pesky hyphen and became XCOM. This novel is written by Diane Duane who has a list of credits a mile long. So strap in, get your laser rifle, and lets hunt some sectoids. We have opened up our Patreon so if you are interested in supporting us financially you can do so at patreon.com/pixellitpod.

Jason from Mr Lurch's Things joins us once again for this longer than usual chat about retro gaming, old tech and more. Microprose has reacquired the Falcon series of flight sims. Classic game Mercenary has been given a modern makeover which doesn't spoil its wireframe looks. Finally, we think back to those tabletop games as found in the Argos catalogue of old. Could LCD gaming hope to come close arcade classics? All this and our Community Question Of the Week. Please visit https://mrlurch.com/ to see everything Jason has to entertain you. We are sponsored by Pixel Addict magazine. They are getting ready to publish a new issue and our guest this week has read it and has some thoughts.

This starts out the series on Computer Strategy Games, and we begin with the game that got me hooked, the first Civilization game created by Sid Meier and published by Microprose. Though it is pretty old now, it is still fond in my heart, and in the hearts of so many other gamers. If this comes across as a love letter, so be it. We will also in this series look at where you can obtain old games, and where you can find more information about the games I cover.

In which we play Sid Meier's Colonization, a simulator of the European colonization of the “New World” starting in 1492. Warning: This game uncritically includes the genocide of Indigenous people, and uncritically does not include slavery. Pippin does his best not to get involved but pays the price of inaction. David flies under the King's radar and lives on the kindness of others. These, and other GAMETHINGS. Sid Meier's Colonization was developed and published by MicroProse in 1994. – Visit us: https://gamething.life Email us: contact@gamething.life Support us: https://patreon.com/othergamethings/

Hluboký ponor do středověkého Bavorska pod taktovkou scénáristy Joshe Sawyera ze studia Obsidian. Pro posluchače a diváky Retro Nation bude skvělou zprávou, že ve svém středověkém thrilleru Pentiment se nechal scénárista Josh Sawyer inspirovat klasikou Darklands (1992) od Microprose. Nevyrazil ale na výlet do fantasy luhů a hájů, namísto toho se soustředil na reálný život fiktivního kláštera a města ve středověkém Bavorsku. Odehraje se tu vražda – a nejen ta. Skrz pátrání poznává výtvarník Maler středověké reálie, lidi a jejich životy. Jak to celé funguje dohromady se dozvíte v novém díle Svorek. Na pohled je Pentiment hrou nenápadnou a možná až nudnou, ale její propracovanost vyvolává závratě a nadšení z toho, co jsou hry a jejich zkušení (a všemi mastmi mazaní) autoři schopni vytvořit za spektákl. A nemusí být ani dabovaný. Však si to poslechněte. Podívejte se na https://www.retronation.cz na další skvělé výlety do herního retra!

Flugsimulationen, besonders militärische, sind in den 80ern und Anfang der 90er ein etabliertes Genre. Microprose vor allem ist dort erfolgreich, aber auch SubLogic oder Electronic Arts mischen mit. Und dann kommt ein Newcomer in den Markt: Novalogic veröffentlicht 1992 die Helikoptersimulation Comanche: Maximum Overkill. Ist eher Action-Spiel als Simulation, kommt aber mit neuartiger Voxel-Engine, die bombastische Landschaftsgrafik erzeugt. Und so neue Maßstäbe in optischem Realismus setzt. Gunnar und Chris sprechen darüber, was das Spiel für das Generelle bedeutet hat, wie die Entwicklung lief und wie das Spiel eine (kurzzeitig) erfolgreiche Serie begründete. Thema: Comanche: Maximum Overkill, 1992 Plattform: MS-DOS Entwickler: NovaLogic Publisher: NovaLogic Genre: Flugsim Designer: Kyle Freeman, John A. Garcia Musik: Stewart Perkins Podcast-Credits: Sprecher: Christian Schmidt, Gunnar Lott Audioproduktion: Fabian Langer, Christian Schmidt Titelgrafik: Paul Schmidt Intro, Outro: Nino Kerl (Ansage); Chris Hülsbeck (Musik)
