The arcade was our favorite place to hang out. But there were some games that we blew thousands of quarters on because they were too hard. What do people think were the hardest retro arcade games? We get frustrated until we're broke on Enjoy Stuff. Pass the token 'pon the left hand side! We're gonna need ‘em all with the hardest games in the arcade. Don't get frustrated! Enjoy Stuff.   News In retro news: Garfield phones invade the beaches of France! Star Wars: Andor season 2 premieres this week on Disney+   Check out our TeePublic store for some enjoyable swag and all the latest fashion trends What we're Enjoying Jay continues to ride the trail of Western Movies, but adds a little prehistoric this week with his viewing of One Million Years BC. The quality of this Ray Harryhausen movie may not have been at the top of his list, but it was still an interesting idea and had some crazy genre mashups. Shua found some cool YouTube channels that have some great, high quality classic Pink Panther cartoons. It's a great way to have some retro in the background.      Sci-Fi Saturdays This week on Sci-Fi Saturdays Jay gets real with the 2011 Hugh Jackman movie Real Steel. This often overlooked film has a lot of great robot action in the boxing ring, like a mechanical Rocky. Read his article on RetroZap.com. And make sure to play around with the interactive map on MCULocationScout.com. Plus, you can tune in to SHIELD: Case Files where Jay and Shua talk about great stuff in the MCU. Enjoy Video Games!  We loved spending time in the arcade as we were growing up. We tried to use our quarters wisely and budget them for the maximum experience possible. But sometimes we had to cram a lot of them into games over and over because they were so hard. Which ones were the most challenging? Were they the same ones you struggled with? Let's see what the internet said and decide if we agree.  What challenging games did we miss? First person that emails me with the subject line, “I need a cheat code” will get a special mention on the show.  Let us know. Come talk to us in the Discord channel or send us an email to EnjoyStuff@RetroZap.com   

“Good luck! You'll need it!” The twin-stick shooter never fully caught on in the arcade's golden age, and yet, some years after the beloved Robotron 2084, Eugene Jarvis and his team returned to that particular mechanical interface wellspring for another go round, with 1990's spiritual successor Smash TV. Leon, Jesse, Michiel and community contributors scream bloody murder at Smash TV's ultraviolent, loud, frenetic, brutal and relentless dystopian 1999 gameshow. http://media.blubrry.com/caneandrinse/caneandrinse.com/podcast/cane_and_rinse_issue_659.mp3   Music featured in this issue: 1.

In der 35. Folge von Informatik für die moderne Hausfrau spreche ich mit Karola Köpferl über das Thema Mensch-Technik-Interaktion, wobei wir uns insbesondere auf Technik im Leben älterer Menschen konzentrieren. Wir überlegen zunächst, was überhaupt Technik ist und wie man "smart" definieren könnte, bevor Karola erklärt, warum es 'die' alten Menschen gar nicht gibt. Wir erfahren, warum es nicht zielführend ist, wenn Menschen technische Lösungen entwickeln, ohne Schnittmengen oder Berührungspunkte mit der Lebensrealität der angedachten Nutzer*innen zu haben. Karola erklärt, wie stattdessen eine Technikentwicklung angegangen werden kann, bei der der Mensch im Zentrum steht. Was Kuchen, der Thermomix und eine alte DDR-Schreibmaschine mit ihrer Forschung in diesem Bereich zu tun haben, verrät sie ebenfalls. Karola gibt darüber hinaus Einblicke, inwieweit Unterschiede in Hinblick auf das Technikverständnis, die Techniknutzung und die Einstellung gegenüber Technik älterer Menschen aus Ostdeutschland im Vergleich zu Westdeutschland bestehen und woran das liegen könnte.  Wir erfahren außerdem, warum Karola nicht Informatik, sondern Sozialpädagogik studiert hat, was ihr Hintergrund als First-Gen-Akademikerin damit zu tun hat und wie Forschung an der Schnittstelle zwischen Soziologie und Informatik dazu beitragen kann, dass mehr Brücken zwischen den Disziplinen gebaut werden. Weitere Informationen zu Karola Köpferl sowie Kontaktmöglichkeiten findet ihr auf ihrer Webseite: https://www.tu-chemnitz.de/hsw/soziologie/Institut/Profile/koepk/ Mehr über partizipative Technikentwicklung könnt ihr hier in einem Artikel von Karola nachlesen:  Köpferl, Karola, Lehmann, Tanja, Börner, Andy, Becker, Alexa, Berger, Arne, Bischof, Andreas und Kurze, Albrecht: "Partizipative Ansätze in der Entwicklung smarter und privatsphärefreundlicher Technik für das Zuhause."

No os imagináis de que hablamos en este programa. ¿Son todos los regalos así de inesperados? Se desata la locura en el podcast. El fin del mundo del entretenimiento tal y como lo conocíamos. El número 2 de la Súper Juegos guardaba unas sorpresas que desatarían la locura hoy día... Nah, es que hemos hecho un curso sobre "clickbait" y estamos practicando. En realidad hablamos de nuestros regalos de Reyes, de cómo Sony ha dejado de fabricar blurays y leemos la Super Juegos número 2, que sí, que tiene cosas loquísimas, como darle más puntuación al Robotron de Linx que al Super Mario World de SNES. Nintendo podría haber demandado a Super Juegos por eso, pero eran otros tiempos.

Welcome to Dev Game Club, where this week we conclude our series on 2006's Dead Rising. We visit the end of the game a bit and then turn to our takeaways, before tackling a reader question. Dev Game Club looks at classic video games and plays through them over several episodes, providing commentary. Sections played: Finished the game! Issues covered: the enemy mix, just being a journalist, being interrupted by Otis, the arrival of the army, captured by cultists, constant use of the chainsaw, adding an enemy and its impact, greater XP rewards, state changes and controlling the state change, an ongoing narrative, how games end, overtime mode, the helicopter arrival, how new game+ or post-game works these days, frustration with unplugging the bombs, vehicle troubles, reach exceeding grasp, having the wrong feelings, the wall mission, early replay to skills gather, the bomb cyclone, the open world structure and its rogue-like nature, picking the good inspiration, weapon variety and payoff, finding new things to do on your run, conducive to achievements, systems over mechanics, different kinds of mastery, getting little bang for buck from first person or special moves, zombies as level design, tuning and balancing, item progression, humans as the real enemies, psychopaths, little survivor stories, balancing silliness and poignancy, when you've changed your mind, individuating the clones, adding humor, using more and less of the language, moving to systems over mechanics, moving away from design documentation, iteration over inspiration, defensiveness, solving for growing team size with documentation. Games, people, and influences mentioned or discussed: Dark Souls, MegaMan, Fallout, Bethesda Game Studios, Morrowind, The Witcher 3, Grand Theft Auto, Lost Planet, Monster Hunter, Dragon's Dogma, Resident Evil (series), Dawn of the Dead, Gears of War, Vampire Survivor, Robotron 2084, Fatal Frame, mystery dip, Republic Commando, George Lucas, The Clone Wars, The Bad Batch, Robin Williams, William Shakespeare, Harley Baldwin, Starfighter (series), Soren Johnson, Sid Meier, LucasArts, Halo, Tomb Raider, Final Fantasy VI, Kirk Hamilton, Aaron Evers, Mark Garcia.

Ein Gespräch mit René Meyer über sein neues Buch und die kleine und große Computer in der DDR.

My guest today is the American video game designer and programmer Eugene Jarvis. Born in California, he studied computer science at Berkeley, where, in the basement of the physics laboratory, he played the early video game Spacewar. After graduating he worked for Hewlitt Packard, but quit after three days to join Atari, where he began programming for some of the first computerised pinball machines. In the late seventies he joined Williams where he and a colleague came up with the idea for a side-scrolling arcade game set on an alien planet. Defender became a hit in the arcades; the game has grossed more than $1.5 billion since 1981. More hitsfollowed: Robotron 2084 –– the first twin-stick shooter -- Smash TV and Cruis'n USA. In 2008, my guest was named DePaul University's first Game Designer in Residence. He remains the only game-maker to have one of his creations featured on a U.S. postage stamp.  Be attitude for gains. https://plus.acast.com/s/my-perfect-console. Hosted on Acast.

If you know, you know! This week we take a look at what many regard as the worst video game of all-time...We also look at some good games though, including Naughty Boy by Jaleco, Pioneer Balloon by SNK, and Robotron: 2084 by Williams in this week's packed episode!Website -https://historyofvideogamespodcast.comTwitter - https://twitter.com/HistoryofVideo1Email - historyvgpodcast@gmail.comHosts - Ben & WesMusic - Arranged and recorded by BenTransition Music - Track 8 from Ben's upcoming Album "Demons"

Was passierte eigentlich hinter dem "Eisernen Vorhang", während im Westen die Computerrevolution auf Touren kam? Was benutzten die Jugendlichen in Erfurt oder Rostock, während in den Jugendzimmern in Fürth und Schenefeld die Commodore-Heimcomputer eine ganze Generation zum Spielen brachten? Christian und Henner nehmen sich im Gespräch der Historie der Computertechnik in der DDR an, leiten den historischen Kontext her und klären auch die Frage, was eigentlich die besten Spiele waren, die die DDR hervorgebracht hat.

Your Sinclair was one of the "Big 3" Spectrum magazines, alongside CRASH and Sinclair User.  It was considered to be more humourous and zany than its contemporaries.  Its final issue was in September 1993, which was an incredible run, considering the 16-bit computers had taken foothold years prior.  In 1991, they published their top 100 games list, which was compiled by staff writer Stuart Campbell.  It was a comprehensive list of games featuring many classics (and some curveballs).  Join Drisky and Kingy as they go through the games on this list.  With thanks to Gary Arnott for recreating that final cover for our own poster for this episode.  Here are the first 50 games in the first part: 100    Zzoom 99    Maziacs 98    Pheenix 97    Mined Out 96    Cruising on Broadway 95    The Train Game 94    RoboCop 93    Gyron 92    Green Beret 91    Avalon 90    Bounder 89    Cobra 88    Wheelie 87    Codename Mat 86    Trashman 85    Guardian 2: Revenge of the Mutants 84    Technician Ted 83    Football Manager 82    Hyperaction 81    Dark Star 80    Sir Lancelot 79    Atic Atac 78    Flying Shark 77    Gyroscope 76    Three Weeks in Paradise 75    Wriggler 74    Pang 73    Popeye 72    Hijack 71    Frankie Goes to Hollywood 70    G-Force 69    Match Point 68    Tapper 67    The Way of the Exploding Fist 66    Splat 65    Batty 64    Buggy Boy 63    Scrabble 62    Thrust 61    Eric and the Floaters 60    Knot in 3D 59    Hyper Sports 58    Operation Wolf 57    Dun Darach 56    Bounty Bob Strikes Back 55    Saboteur 54    Rastan 53    Ping-Pong 52    Jumping Jack 51    Robotron: 2084   Snow Notes: World of Stuart top 100 reproduction https://worldofstuart.excellentcontent.com/ys100/ystop100.htm?fbclid=IwAR2J01M29bQutvprNe91s7dmoxSpndRIAyKFS2nw9ozOuHGmR0G0xfvKp3I Kingy's Mined Out remake https://archive.org/details/mined Gyron Arena https://spectrumcomputing.co.uk/entry/2193/ZX-Spectrum/Gyron_Arena Joy Chant - The High Kings https://www.amazon.co.uk/High-Kings-Joy-Chant/dp/0553243063 Saturday Superstore - kids playing Speccy games https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m9aUgK9rBGI Steven Smith's games (including VR ones) https://stephensmith.itch.io/ First Class TV show https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cg-jmty8XuQ Neadeital https://spectrumcomputing.co.uk/entry/36565/ZX-Spectrum/Neadeital                  

Ridders Klaas en Peter (Retrogamepapa) bespreken wat retro game nieuws alsook wat ze hebben gespeeld en gezien de afgelopen tijd. In het nieuws: Analogue, het bedrijf achter de Analogue Pocket, gaat een N64 console uitbrengen. De arcade shmup Daioh van Sammy komt eindelijk naar consoles, Dead Cells naar Netflix, Castlevania Legends e.a. naar Switch. Steekspel is deze keer: Robotron 64! Verder nog: Transformers Gamer Edition figures, Transformers Beyond Reality PSVR game. Ook nog uitleg en gemopper over queeste 50. In de intocht: Peter is verrassend blij met zijn PS5 console en diens controller. De Werewolves Within film, Ted Lasso en wat is heterochromia? Lichte discussue over Playstation vs. Xbox, Super Mario Bros. Wonder. Ook laait een discussie op over of consoles zwart of wit moeten zijn. In de uittocht (en intro) hebben de ridders het uiteindelijk ook nog over Van Onschatbare Waarde, Supernatural, Kong: Skull Island, de Pacific Rim films en Mike Flanagan's oevre. Peter en Klaas mopperen uiteindelijk ook nog over bepaalde acteurs met te weinig charisma. 

Welcome to Dev Game Club, where this week we begin a new series on 1991's Eye of the Beholder, from Westwood Studios and published by Strategic Simulations Inc. We set the game in its time before exploring its primary mechanics and the feel of being in this world. Dev Game Club looks at classic video games and plays through them over several episodes, providing commentary. Sections played: First level or two Issues covered: knowing who the evil is, tactical top down Gold Box, the opening cutscene, being amazed at how much they get into the Game Boy version of a Metroid game, lots of movie tie-ins, a wide variety of machines, lack of automap, being everything one wanted for a Forgotten Realms nerd, one of the ten games, semi real-time, living inside the depths of Waterdeep, a style of play which continues today, having to rest immediately, gaining information through audio, uncovering the whole map vs racing towards the goal, tournament play, losing is fun, the only way out is through, annotating a later map, interacting with the play space, accessibility and the mouse, contextualization and abstraction in game design, having to throw weapons in the world, how cool the audio is, using items to locate yourself, creating a party, crunchy spells, shout-outs to upcoming work, difficulty in the bosses in Metroid games then and now, games influencing games, getting the green light, justifying the game via the sweet spot of trends, why not just make this a Star Wars game, how green lighting changes with bigger franchises, games that changed our perspectives. Games, people, and influences mentioned or discussed: Gold Box games, Westwood Studios, Dune 2, A Link to the Past, Super Castlevania IV, SNES, Mega Man 4, Final Fantasy IV, Metroid II: Return of Samus (and Metroid series), Sonic the Hedgehog, Sega Genesis, Battletoads, Rare, Stamper Bros, Civilization, Another World, Space Quest IV, Monkey Island 2, Wing Commander 2, Hudson Hawk, Terminator 2, American Gladiators, Hunt for Red October, The Godfather, Amiga, PC-98, Atari ST, Commodore 64, Apple ][, Spectrum ZX, Amstrad, Questron, Disney, Legend of Kyrandia, Command and Conquer (series), Electronic Arts, Earth and Beyond, Louis Castle, Brett Sperry, Strategic Simulations Incorporated, Advanced Dungeons & Dragons, Pool of Radiance, The Ruins of Myth Drannor, Ultima (series), Wizardry (series), A Bard's Tale (series), Ultima Underworld, Dungeon Master, Dragon Warrior/Dragon Quest (series), Diablo, Wasteland, Temple of Elemental Evil, Legend of Grimrock, Etrian Odyssey (series), The Sinister Secret of Saltmarsh, The Tomb of Horrors, Infocom, Ocarina of Time, Rogue, Deluxe Paint, Baldur's Gate, Jarkko Sivula, Single Malt Apocalypse, Sierra, LucasArts, Wierd Tales, Amazing Stories, Tintin, Pippin Barr, David Wolinsky, Game Thing, The Stuff Games Are Made Of, Walker, Dark Souls, Nintendo, Skyrim, Breath of the Wild, Johnny Pockets, Mad Max, Full Throttle, Day of the Tentacle, Grim Fandango, Republic Commando, Sam and Max: Freelance Police, Bounty Hunter, RTX Red Rock, Gladius, PlayStation, Tomb Raider (series), Halo: Infinite, Quake, MYST, Lode Runner, Sabotage, Robotron 2084, Joust, Dark Forces, WoW Classic, Everquest, MUD, Ultima Online, Meridian 59, Adventure, Kirk Hamilton, Aaron Evers, Mark Garcia.

Totally awesome video games! That's what Joysticks promises. Eugene, McDorfus and King Vidiot are running interference while we chew up the scenery of this 1983 T&A buffet. This movie has everything you do AND don't want you in your early 80s celluloid war chest. Scott McGinnis and Corrine Bohrer round out the casting staples of any great, but forgettable 80s flick. Joe Don Baker must have been blackmailed to be in this movie. Come to think of it, he was blackmailed IN this movie as well. Art imitating life...imitating art? Who knows. I'm as lost as that senile wizard wandering around the Gauntlet landscape with this summary anyway. PAC-MAN, Galaga, Defender, Asteroids, Zaxxon, Tempest, Two Tigers, Dragon's Lair, Pole Position, Track & Field, Star Castle, Centipede, Dig Dug, Tron, Missile Command, Donkey Kong, Robotron, Frogger, Burger Time, Rampage, 1942, Berzerk, Q*Bert, Joust, Rolling Thunder, Contra, Double Dragon.....that's enough characters for a great summary, right?

It's a news roundup this week. Fresh off the heels of sending Pinkertons to hassle someone with pre-release Magic cards, Wizards of the Coast is upping the price of their D&D books! Fortunately, though, Kobold Press' "Tales of the Valiant" Kickstarter launched and it's already clocking in at more than $750,000, so you'll have options if you want to play some mainstream TTRPGs even if you bail on D&D. Also, there's going to be a 24-hour ad-supported D&D streaming service; I thought we already had one called Twitch. Also, we talk about Robotron and, bizarrely, Bibleman and his connection to D&D. Finally, from now through June 3, any purchase on our online store will have 30% of its proceeds donated to Richmond Mutual Aid Disaster Relief's free community market.   SIGN UP FOR OUR MONTHLY NEWSLETTER https://goblinsandgrowlers.beehiiv.com/subscribe JOIN 800+ GOBLINS ON OUR DISCORD http://bit.ly/goblindiscord Catch you all next episode! LINKS WotC casts "Enlarge" on book prices, "Reduce" on my interest in buying them! Tales of the Valiant is well on its way to a $1 million Kickstarter D&D has a messaging problem, but we all knew that Ad-supported 24-hour streaming D&D channel. Yay?   LISTEN, RATE, AND SUBSCRIBE!

Part 2: Eugene Jarvis cut his teeth in the Atari pinball division before going on to produce the groundbreaking Defender for Williams Electronics. Also for Williams (contracted as Vid Kids, his new company with Defender co-creator Larry DeMar) was Stargate, Robotron: 2084 and Blaster. Jarvis left Vid Kids in 1984 to attend Stanford University where he gained an MBA in 1986. He then returned to Williams to design the OTT run and gun title Narc (programmed with George Petro) and, with Mark Turmell, Robotron's spiritual successor, Smash TV. To this day Eugene produces popular arcade video game titles for his own studio, Raw Thrills Inc.

Zeit: 1949 - 1990. Ort: östliches Deutschland. Ne wer kennts? Richtig! Die DDR. Und in der DDR gab es den Volkseigenen Betrieb Kombinat Robotron. Ein Zusammenschluss mehrerer Betrieb zur Produktion diverser elektronischer Bauteile und Geräte. Unter anderem natürlich auch Computer und die dazugehörigen Keyboards bis hin zu eigenen Switches. Von großen "Schreibmaschinen" über Terminal-Keyboards bis hin zu Bastelkeyboards für die breite Masse. In der DDR gab es eine Computerkultur und die beinhaltete auch Hardware. Es gibt viele wunderschöne Hackbretter, einige Fehltritte und auch DIY Lösungen. Ein paar News und Neuigkeiten sind auch mit dabei.

For Bryan's birthday, he wanted to bring you the greatest and best podcast episode in the world. But SOMEBODY forgot to make sure we were recording. So instead, we offer you this… tribute. We commit to a full switcheroo for Tenacious D in the Pick of Destiny. Dave supplies the synopsis. Bryan does the critic reviews afterward. Cats and dogs living together! Mass hysteria!

Hop in and take a ride down Memory Lane as the Podouken crew tours the USA, world, and other exotic locations while exploring the Midway Games classic Cruis'n USA. How did this game give Rob his most gruesome arcade injury and almost get him arrested? What led the creator of Defender and Robotron to create a digitized racing game? Which arcade developed by Atari is the lost Cruis'n game? We also give some arcade buying tips, get in some Raw Thrills, tell a few of our scariest arcade buying stories, count roaches, and discuss strategies on dealing with mall cops.

We have some familiar guests this week! The Korth family (Andy, Beth, and Gabe) join us in the clubhouse to talk about the ways they play games together. Are there games that adults and four-year-olds alike can play together and enjoy? Sure! We talk about flexibility, rules, consent, "PBP," and what gamedevs should think about if they want to "toot around in the kid zone." Also, have you heard of a game called Minecraft?  Families in Games Gaming The first time the Korths were on the show was Episode #2! Steam Greenlight The second time the Korths were on the show was about a hundred episodes ago. Code Comment: "Verdant Skies" And the most recent appearance from the Korths was Episode #132.
