1990 is now but a memory of an eggy old time - but in keeping with Zapped to the Past tradition we now take a look back and cast a weepy and often twitchy eye over the all the games we have played from the issues of Zzap magazine from January to December 1990. The purpose of this crazy scheme - to award those games that have somehow managed to impress or entertain us with our annual Golden Breadbin Awards. Did something have the best visuals? Was there a best game? How many worst games can there be? There is only one way to know for sure… The running order of the awards: Introduction Breadbin Stats ZTTP reflections on 1990 Best Visuals 1990 Crapcade Conversion 1990 Worst Game 1990 Best Audio 1990 Craziest Concept 1990 Licenced Catastrophe 1990 Best Game 1990 Patreon Awards 1990 Final Thoughts on 1990 Look Ahead 1991 Next Episode Preview Goodbye 1990 & Patreon Info Find us here: https://zappedtothepast.com/ If you would like to help us out and join our Patreon, find it here: https://www.patreon.com/zappedtothepast If you want to buy amazing Zapped to the Past merch, go here: https://zappedtothepast.shop https://www.redbubble.com/people/zappedtothepast/shop If you want to buy a Coffee for Zapped to the Past, go here: https://ko-fi.com/zappedtothepast Need our links in one place - you can do that too: https://linktr.ee/zappedtothepast https://online.pubhtml5.com/oowg/grrx/#p=1

W najnowszym #11 odcinku gościmy Maksymiliana Rogackiego, aktora i przewodniczącego Związku Zawodowego Aktorów Polskich. Ta rozmowa zapewniła nam dużą dawkę nowej wiedzy i rozjaśniła pewne skomplikowane zagadnienia. Z Maksem poruszyłyśmy takie tematy jak:- Siła związków zawodowych w teatrze - Jak zespół aktorski może negocjować warunki pracy?- Jak wygląda proces założenia komisji zakładowej? - Wynagrodzenie zasadnicze a minimalne, co to znaczy w praktyce i jak wygląda system wynagrodzeń w polskich teatrach? - Jaka powinna być minimalna stawka za przygotowanie roli? - Najważniejsze kwestie dotyczące umów w teatrze, kiedy powinniśmy je dostawać, jakie zapisy są alarmujące?- Co z zamkniętymi castingami do teatrów? - Ustawa o teatrze, dlaczego jest dla nas tak istotna? - Wyniki ankiety dotyczącej dostępności castingów filmowo/serialowych - Co musi się wydarzyć żeby sytuacja osób aktorskich w branży filmowej się zmieniła? - Kultura rozmowy o pracy, dlaczego boimy się mówić? - Jaką siłę mają związki zawodowe w innych krajach, co udało się wprowadzić dzięki wspólnotowemu działaniu?- Ustawa o Artyście Zawodowym, co za sobą niesie? - Tantiemy z Internetu, kiedy możemy się ich spodziewać? - Z jakimi problemami możemy się zgłaszać do ZZAPu? Ta rozmowa uświadamia jak wiele możemy razem zmienić, jak ważne jest to żeby zadbać nie tylko o siebie, ale i o nasz wspólny zawodowy ogródek, bo dzięki temu jesteśmy w stanie realnie wpłynąć na warunki naszej pracy.

In the early 80s, glory could be won in the arcades by those intrepid youths capable of garnering high scores. One such teen, Julian 'Jaz' Rignall, turned that skillset into a career, first as a strategy tip writer for UK mags like Personal Computing and Computer and Video Games, before becoming a founding writer for ZZAP!64, Mean Machines, Mean Machines Sega, and Nintendo Magazine System. His career then brought him to America where he worked for Virgin on titles such as Toonstruck and Jungle Book before becoming a pioneer in online games journalism at IGN. Today, he helps game devs test their wares before they hit our screens at VGM. Jaz has seen every aspect of the games biz, from how the games are made, to how they are presented to the public, to how the press informs us about them. His insights are truly invaluable!

Floppy Days Episode 128 - Paul Terrell - Exidy Part 1 Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/FloppyDays Sponsors: 8-Bit Classics Arcade Shopper Hello, and welcome to episode 128 for July, 2023 of the Floppy Days Podcast, with your host, Randy Kindig! If you're a regular listener, you'll know that we're in the middle of a series of episodes where we talk with Paul Terrell. Paul has been credited with essentially jump-starting the personal computer industry in many ways, not the least of which was by buying the original Apple I computer from the just-getting-started Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak and selling it in his equally-famous computer store, The Byte Shop. This was one of the first personal computer retail stores in existence. Paul was also a member of the legendary Homebrew Computer Club and attended the West Coast Computer Faire. He was involved in the development of both the Exidy Sorcerer and BYT-8 computers and he later went on to start ComputerMania Inc. which was a chain of computer stores created with the purpose of renting computers and software. This guy has had an amazing career and I am truly honored to be able to bring you a series of interviews with Paul for the podcast. Paul and I will be covering his entire career, from his early beginnings, thru the Byte Shop years and his time with the nascent Apple Computer, and beyond. The first segment (last month's episode) was a sort of overview before Paul's time being involved with Exidy and the Exidy Sorcerer computer. This segment is part 1 of 2 focusing directly on Exidy and the Sorcerer. You'll hear how the Sorcerer came about, hear Paul's insight into why certain design decisions were made, and what mistakes were made. The Sorcerer was truly an early, important machine, and had impressive features for the timeframe that it came out. If you want to hear additional information about the Sorcerer and about Exidy, there are 2 other Floppy Days Podcasts you'll want to listen to: Episode 17, where the Sorcerer is covered in detail - https://floppydays.libsyn.com/floppy-days-episode-17-the-exidy-sorcerer-live-from-vcfse-20 Episode 114, which features an interview with Howell Ivy. Howell was the principal designer of the Sorcerer and recollects his time at Exidy. - https://floppydays.libsyn.com/floppy-days-114-howell-ivy-exidy-sorcerer-and-exidy Paul first contacted me after the interview I had with Howell Ivy and Howell's involvement and remembrances of the Exidy Sorcerer. He really liked Howell's interview and wanted to add a few details and give his perspective on the Sorcerer. As we talked further, Paul decided he would really like to be able to talk about his incredible career in its entirety, more than just the time with Exidy, and I of course was ecstatic that he decided my humble podcast could be a good medium for that. I really hope you enjoy the Paul Terrel series in general, and this episode should give you a nice perspective on his involvement with Exidy and the Sorcerer!

Floppy Days 126 - Interview with Bob Frankston, Co-developer of Visicalc Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/FloppyDays Sponsors: 8-Bit Classics Arcade Shopper Hello, everyone! Welcome to episode 126 of the Floppy Days Podcast, with yours truly, Randy Kindig, as the host. Everyone, and I mean everyone, listening to this podcast has surely heard of the ground-breaking application (for its time) Visicalc. Visicalc was the first spreadsheet computer program for personal computers, originally released for the Apple II by VisiCorp on October 17, 1979. It is considered the killer application for the Apple II, turning the microcomputer from a hobby for computer enthusiasts into a serious business tool, and then prompting IBM to introduce the IBM PC two years later. More than 700,000 copies were sold in six years, and up to 1 million copies over its history. Initially developed for the Apple II computer, VisiCalc was ported to numerous platforms, both 8-bit and some of the early 16-bit systems, such as the Commodore PET, Atari 8-bit, TRS-80 (TRSDOS), CP/M, MS-DOS, and even the HP Series 80. VisiCalc was later replaced in the market by Lotus 1-2-3 and eventually by Microsoft's Excel, which is the dominant spreadsheet today. Spreadsheets, along with word processors, and presentation tools are still today considered one of the key applications for computing. Bob Frankston, along with Dan Bricklin, are the co-inventors of VisiCalc. This month, we have an interview with the aforementioned Bob Frankston. Bob was kind enough to take time to talk with me about what it was like to create such a ground-breaking tool. Before doing that, I have a few new acquisitions to discuss and I'll tell you about upcoming computer shows.

We are currently in the year 1982 for home computers. This episode is the continuation of a multi-episode arc that covers the Sinclair ZX Spectrum through all the usual topics. This is the seventh of those, with the first having been the interview with John Grant of Nine Tiles, the second and third being coverage of the history of the Spectrum with Alessandro Grussu, the fourth being the interview with the author of the terrific book “The ZX Spectrum Ula: How to Design a Microcomputer”, Mr. Chris Smith, the fifth covering tech specs for the Speccy with Chris, and the sixth covering the topics peripherals, using the machine, and magazines with PJ Evans, Tour Guide and Sinclair curator at The National Museum of Computing on Bletchley Park in the U.K. The topics covered in this episode include books, software, ads, modern upgrades, emulation, buying one today, community, and Web sites. Once again, my co-host will be PJ Evans, who did a wonderful job last episode. This will be the final episode covering the ZX Spectrum, after setting the record in terms of number of episodes on Floppy Days about a single machine. As usual, I will also talk a bit about what I have been up to, including an update on any new acquisitions that have come my way. In addition, I'll briefly tell you about upcoming shows of which I'm aware. Before we get started I want to mention the show sponsors for Floppy Days. https://www.8bitclassics.com, run by my friend Corey Koltz, is a great place to get vintage computer items. This includes video cables, power supplies, PC boards, cartridges, upgrades and more for a wide variety of vintage computer platforms.

Corey has been a friend of the show for some time and I really appreciate his support of the podcast. Check out the site… he has some great stuff. https://www.arcadeshopper.com, run by my friend Greg McGill, is another terrific site to get vintage computer items.

One-to-One 20: Gary Penn of Zzap!64 and GTA fame

Eurogamer Podcasts

Everything starts somewhere, and when the games industry began to form in the UK, back in the '80s, Gary Penn - my guest on the One-to-one podcast today - was there. A young adult passionate about games, he was propelled to micro-stardom, as he puts it, when he won a competition to find Britain's best gamer and ended up writing for Zzap!64 magazine. It was a magazine that changed the face of games journalism, injecting passion and charisma and a sense of fun. After Zzap!64, Penn would go on to win awards for The One magazine, before leaving editorial and side-stepping into consulting and ultimately, producing games. And it's then that he would cross paths with the most famous game series of all: Grand Theft Auto. Except, it wasn't called GTA at the time and it wasn't very good. In fact, Race n' Chase as it was known then, was "awful", according to Penn. But fate - and Penn - ensured the game wouldn't be cancelled and GTA would be released, paving the way for the series to become the cultural phenomenon it is today. But by the time GTA3 was in development, Penn had had enough. He had severely burnt out and didn't want to work around the clock any more. So, along with some other DMA Design people, he would make a new studio called Denki to create very different kinds of games. Hundreds of these would be interactive TV games, but as time moved on, the studio ditched those in favour of games like Quarrel, which we loved on Eurogamer - a mash up of Risk and Scrabble. Then, in 2019, the studio found success with Autonauts, a chill game about creating and managing a settlement by automating everything in it. It's that game Denki is building on now with the release of Autonauts vs Piratebots this week - Thursday, 28th July. That game adds, among many other things, an eye-patched, peg-legged, parrot-toting threat to the game, pirates, which you will have to defend your settlement against.

Another week ends, meaning it's time for another Weekly, the quick-talking podcast where we recap the week on Eurogamer for you. Remember, premium supporters of Eurogamer get episodes on Friday whereas everyone else listens from Monday. Find out more here: https://www.eurogamer.net/subscribe Today on Weekly, Martin Robinson dives into Xenoblade Chronicles 3, a game he's just rated Essential and spent the last month playing. What's so good about it? And can I play it if I haven't played the others? We hear it from the horse's mouth. (Note: Martin is not actually a horse.) Christian Donlan, meanwhile, takes us into the world of Rollderdrome, which looks to be another banger from London-based OlliOlli developer Roll7 - how does it do it? This game is a rollerskates shooter where you need to pull off tricks to power your combat. Donlan is very into it. He's also quite into GTA Online, which he dipped into yesterday to try the new Paper Trail missions. Also: I recall what it was like meeting Zzap!64 and GTA legend Gary Penn, who has some incredible stories to tell; and I give my thoughts on Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance 2, which was re-released with some improvements this week. We also talk Grand Theft Auto 6, following the Bloomberg/Schrier exposé earlier this week; and about Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic, the remake of which has been postponed, seemingly, forever. All that plus all of the other features, news and videos from around the site that caught my eye this week. This was Weekly and we'll see you next week. Learn more about your ad choices.

Høstferie betyr kaos i LOLbua med Jon Cato på hyttetur med familie og Lars på kjærlighetstur med sin utkårede. Derfor har vi laget en ny episode av SIDbua til denne uka, der vi fokuserer utelukkende på alles favorittkomponist: Rob Hubbard. Hubbards karriere på Commodore 64 startet i 1985 med musikken til spillet Thing on a Spring. Spillets musikk var intet mindre enn revolusjonerende da det dukket opp, og han bidro med soundtrack til flere andre spill det året. I denne episoden går vi kronologisk gjennom alle Rob Hubbard-spill anmeldt i Zzap 64 i 1985, og spiller musikken fra disse spillene. Det blir klassiske - og mindre klassiske - Rob Hubbard-låter, og et herlig innblikk i hvordan karrieren til verdens mest kjente C64-musiker startet. God fornøyelse!

In this episode, I get curious about electric vehicles and the new wave of rideshare tech. To explore that curiosity, I had a conversation with the founder of electric vehicle rideshare ZZAP, Pred Zdravkovic, about the work we're doing in the Perth transport space - and what better place to do it than while driving in his Tesla Model S. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/how-to-be-curious/message
