We're back after our holiday hiatus! Game previews will be coming soon and often, but to kick things off, here's a bit of a self-indulgent treat for you all. AtariAge officially joined the Atari family in 2023, but it has been a staple in the homebrew community for decades before that. Albert Yaruso, one of the cofounders, continues its operations today, but has a much longer history in the game industry that crosses paths with some legendary titles. I'm not going to mince words: this one's for the nerds. Al doesn't hold back, diving into the ins and outs of homebrew and classic console development, and I couldn't resist inquiring about his intimate work on my favorite game of all time, Deus Ex. This is a meaty one, and I hope you enjoy listening as much as we enjoyed recording it.
