Game & Gadget Podcast #22 – Arcades, Xbox 360 Live Camera & More…

49 minutes

I am joined by Tony Warriner who is one of the founders of Revolution Software and Aaron Fothergill previously from Argonaut Games and now with Shifty Eye Games as we discuss more gaming, gadgets and technology both retro and modern.

Topics include:

Tony’s ‘Revolution: The Quest for Game Development Greatness‘ book passed its goal on Kickstarter

Our experience and love of the arcade

The addiction and gameplay style of the arcade to get you hooked

Why the arcade typically had just 3 characters for your name / initials

The virtual on-screen keyboard for signing into TV apps – yuck

Not playing too much online gaming and then getting a chance only to die over and over again

Early VR headsets, cardboard VR and modern VR

The Xbox 360 Live Vision camera

Using your face likeness on the Xbox 360

What games we have been playing

How 16-bit games captured James’ imagination

AI generated pixel art

Tony’s new game is no longer a Shmup
