Select Game – theLogBook.com episodes
- 204: Amok Downtime!Strange Brew! What has kept the Odyssey2 alive into the 21st century? Not me talking about it, that’s for sure – it’s the homebrew programmers and their sometimes brilliant, sometimes frustrating additions to the Odyssey2 and Videopac libraries. This month’s show examines a cross-section of homebrew titles, from the very first to the fairly recent. […]0 min

Apologies for two things in this edition of Select Game: first off, the unplanned, rambling on-the-fly substitution of a game in mid-show, and the fact that the games themselves can barely be heard. The recording for this episode has some issues…and it took some balls to go ahead and release it on schedule.

So…I’m guessing “Cheri” is a code name or something?
Well, me and my mom poured our hearts and quarters into this game. Not sure anyone else did.
Yes, this is the marquee.

There are quite a few long pauses in this installment, usually where I was having to hydrate – I’ve been sick, and may have recorded this before I was really ready to talk Odyssey² for an hour solid!
