  • Atari is back!

    As a Gen-Xer who spent many hours with my Atari 2600 and 1200XL, it is fantastic to see this company surging ahead again. I use my Atari VCS nearly every day and love most of the new games they are releasing.

    This podcast is so great for us true fans. They are always interesting and go very deep with the topics and guests.

  • Great Podcast !! Can’t wait for the next episode

    Thanks for sharing the music aspect of game design. Can’t wait to pickup Centipede - Recharge on September 29th and try it on my AtariVCS using my XArcade TankStink (with trackball)

    This podcast is focused on the Recharge Series of games but it would be awesome if you brought in other developers that are working on AtariVCS titles.

    Having some additional interviews would really pump up the excitement for upcoming titles on the AtariVCS. You could even bring some of the Atari developers ... more
