John Ray joined Atari Inc in 1977 as a hardware engineer, learning the ropes with 1978's Fire-Truck, arguably the first truly co-op arcade game and a distinctive arcade presence due in no small part to his analogue circuitry audio. Ray was also involved with the Atari-licensed versions of Namco's Dig Dug and Xevious, the awesome arcade version of Tetris and - into the 1990s - the hugely popular San Francisco Rush racing series of the 90s.

We are joined by our old pal Ryan and brand new guest Jeremy to discuss Duke Nukem 64 and San Francisco Rush!

TCW Podcast Episode 217 - The Games of Ed Logg   Ed Logg had a long and distinguished career in Atari's coin-op division. Initially aspiring to be a math professor, his path changed after encountering the Atari 2600 at a friend's Christmas party. While at Atari, Logg created the legendary game Asteroids, which became a massive success. He continued his streak with Super Breakout and co-created Centipede with Dona Bailey. Inspired by his son's love of Dungeons & Dragons, and the game Dandy, Logg developed the classic Gauntlet. He later created one of the first arcade first-person shooters, Xybots. Although his attempts to transition into the 3D era with games like Steel Talons, San Francisco Rush, and Dr. Muto did not achieve the same level of success; Ed Logg's deep understanding of what makes a great arcade game has left a lasting impact not only in the coin-op space, but across the entire gaming industry.   TCW 081 - The Meeting of SpaceWar: https://podcast.theycreateworlds.com/e/the-meeting-of-spacewar/ TCW 022 - The Galaxy Game: https://podcast.theycreateworlds.com/e/the-galaxy-game/ Sprint 2 (Atari - Arcade): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R32e7O6tfdg TCW 202 - Advanced Balls and Paddles Part 2: https://podcast.theycreateworlds.com/e/advanced-balls-and-paddles-part-2/ Super Breakout - Progressive mode (Arcade): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1EyrTQGt_tU Atari Video Pinball (Arcade): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n4aB8ukBIcM Asteroids (Arcade): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fBVGCw5kl9E TCW 212 - The Exidy of the 70's: https://podcast.theycreateworlds.com/e/the-exidy-of-the-70s/ TCW 213 - The Exidy of the 80's and 90's: https://podcast.theycreateworlds.com/e/the-exidy-of-the-80s-and-90s/ Centipede (Arcade Cabinet): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uwh3wcrUtR8 Centipede (Arcade Gameplay): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V7XEmf02zEM Millipede (Arcade Cabinet): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3rU6aKcyGqc Millipede (Arcade Gameplay): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r8IX8Y2t0LQ Maze Invaders: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZSja0y0N-N8 Road Runner (Laserdisc Arcade): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R7v55T3dxyk Dandy (Atari 800): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pT8grHJweO4 Tank 8: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z0NMfl32t2Y Gauntlet (Arcade Gameplay): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Me68G1l-kPY Gauntlet (Arcade Cabinet): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TtNv4AlJhQM Gauntlet (Commercial): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Oju5vAfFBDc Gauntlet 2: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=78A0p5jfjVk Xybots: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yrvfBUjvj2k Othello (VCS): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kUNx9ULi3Uk Tengen Tetris: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lUJbiLJrkgo Steal Talons: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lg5IF50mJrY San Francisco Rush (N64): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hl9PXqG0dvg Dr Muto (Ps2): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-558CiCOqcc   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.

Das Nintendo 64 hat uns alte Podcaster so sehr geprägt, dass eine Episode nicht ausreicht um diese Konsole angemessen zu besprechen. Hier im zweiten Teil geht es munter weiter mit der Vielzahl an tollen Spielen, die für das N64 erschienen sind - und nicht erschienen sind. Etliche Spiele begannen ihre Entwicklung auf dieser Konsole, bevor sie dann doch erst auf dem Gamecube umgesetzt oder gänzlich gecancelt wurden. Zu Beginn aber widmen wir uns ausführlich dem 64DD-Laufwerk und überlegen, was letztendlich zum Scheitern dieser Hardwareerweiterung geführt hat. Euch hat dieses Retrospecial gefallen? Dann hört auch in unsere weiteren Retro-Konsolenbesprechungen aus unserem Archiv rein! Wir haben bereits Episoden zum NES, Game Boy, Xbox, Xbox 360 sowie PSP und PS Vita aufgenommen.

Recorded on May 21, 2013 with Brian Fife, James Fingal and Thomas Westberg. Streamlining - the way the sequels of a game, or games in a genre are re-worked to be simpler, easier - sometimes even with a dramatically transformed core mechanic - is covered in this live episode. Brian also adds nostalgia to the discussion list. The group talks about the way we hold old, complicated games in reverence (as well as the resurgence of kickstartered ‘homage’ games). They also discuss what makes a sequel good or bad, and whether, as a rule, you should play the latest game in a series.
