  • A Pirates Life For Me! Remembering Pirates of the Caribbean Pinball with Sound and Music Composer David Thiel

    Send us Fan Mail

    #VideoGames #Arcade #PiratesOfTheCaribbean #Retro #4K

    David Thiel is back to talk about the challenges of creating pirate music for this pinball machine, when Hans Zimmer and Klaus Badelt's themes were not allowed.  And no voices or sound effects from the hit films either.  In other words, you have to make music and sound for this game, but you can't take anything from the movie!  How did David do?

  • An Arcade Game at the Bike Shop. Remembering Moon Cresta

    Send us Fan Mail

    #VideoGames #Arcade #MoonCresta #Retro

    Back in the 80s, everyone wanted to have an arcade game at their business, because it brought in a lot of revenue each day from kids with quarters to burn.  The Selah Bike Shop, a tiny place in town, crammed one in the corner by the front door.  After school, Mike would hang out at the Bike Shop and watch other kids play Moon Cresta.  A tough game.

  • See You For Lunch Harry! Remembering Pitfall on the Atari 2600

    Send us Fan Mail

    #VideoGames #Arcade #Pitfall #Retro

    Activision.  David Crane.  Pitfall.  The beginning of really good games for the Atari 2600.  The graphics in this game ran circles around Atari's own games, like the terrible Pac-Man port.  Mike talks about why this game is important in video game history.  Activision gets the credit for the beginning trend of ensuring developers received recognition for their hard work.
