The Atari 2600 Game By Game Podcast

Hello everybody! Thank you for sticking with me, I talk about my extended absence a little bit in this episode, which is about the unreleased Grover's Music Maker by Atari. I also talk about the history of Grover, and Mrs. Ferguson the Librarian stops by to read to you, which in my opinion is the best part of the episode. The next episode will be on Sega's Up 'n' Down, if you have any feedback on that game please send it to [email protected] when you can. Thank you again, I love you all very much!

Just a quick and dirty update, please send your Christmas memories by the 19th. Not the 18th like the dummy on the podcast said. I love you guys, enjoy the holidays and thanks so much for being here.

Welcome everyone! Today we are looking at the game Glacier Patrol, which was made by VSS for Sunrise Software, but released later by Telegames. It was much more interesting than I thought, and there is much more feedback than I expected for this one. Thank you for that. Coming up next is the prototype Grover's Music Make by Atari. If you have any feedback, please send it to [email protected] by September 9th. As always I thank you for listening.

Hi there, welcome back my friends to the show that no longer comes out on time. In this episode I talk about two (count 'em) games by Tigervision, Miner 2049er and Miner 2049er Volume II. two sides of the same coin, if you will. there's lots of fun links to check out down yonder so have at it if you are so inclined. Next up is Glacier Patrol, made by Sunrise via VSS but distributed well after the fact by Telegames. I'm sure all of you spent hours playing this game in your youth,; if you'd like to tell me about it please send an email or audio to me at [email protected] by August 19th. Thank you very kindly, have a lovely day and I thank you for listening.

Hello! Thanks for joining me in this episode all about Squeeze Box by U.S. Games. As I type this I am realizing that I made a huge mistake in the show, something I could have fixed if I looked at my own previous research. What a maroon! Hopefully I'll remember to correct it in the next episode. Which will be about Miner 2049er and Miner 2049er Vol. 2, both by Tigervision. I will also be talking about the Atari 8 bit game that spawned these two cartridges, as well as its creator, Bill Hogue, who I believe was 20 when he created the game. When I was 20 I was eating at White Castle three times a week. Oh well. If you have feedback for Miners 2049er, please send it to me at [email protected] by EOD May 27th. Hopefully I can keep this streak going! Thank you all for listening, I am so glad you are here.

Welcome back everyone, thanks so much for your patience. Today's episode is the long promised Big Bird's Egg Catch by Atari and CCW, the last such officially released collaboration between the two. I hope that you enjoy it and that it was worth the wait. The next episode will be on Squeeze Box by US Games. If you have any feedback you'd like to submit, please send it to [email protected] by May 13th. Please put the game title in the email subject, and if you send an audio submission, please put your name in the filename. Also, no need to summarize the game, that's what I'm here for! Thank you as always for listening, it means a lot to me.

Hello everyone, I want to thank you for your love and continued support over these last few difficult years for me. I'm feeling a bit more hopeful for the new year. I hope that you are all doing well and enjoying the holiday season so far. I hope this episode will help give you some extra (or any) Christmas spirit like it did for me. I love you all very much and I am so glad you are here. Merry Christmas!

Welcome back to the show, glad to finally get this out, which is the episode about Porky's from 20th Century Fox. Did you know it's based on a movie? It's true! I do hope you enjoy the episode, and I always appreciate your continued patience with me. I think from now on I will give a feedback due date and let the episode fall where it falls. If I want to do something seems easier than if I need to do something, if that makes sense. I would love to get back to every 2 weeks, but that just isn't in the cards right now. Thank you all so much for sticking with me through all of this!

The next episode will be about Big Bird's Egg Catch from Atari, the final released Children's Television Workshop and Atari joint. But fear not, there's plenty of prototypes from this pairing to talk about. Stop groaning! If you would like to submit written or audio feedback, please send it to [email protected] by November 6, EOD. No need to summarize the game, that as always is my job, just tell me what you think of it or if you have a memory associated with it (now or then). Also, if you send an audio file, please put your name in the filename and the game title in the subject line. It makes it easier to find later on. Once again, I love you all and I thank you for listening.

I am so sorry it's taking me so long to get episodes out. It seems like it's one step up, two steps back. I am trying to fix it. Despite that, the new episode featuring Dragonstomper by Starpath (formerly Arcadia) is now available. I hope you enjoy it. Coming up next will be Porky's by 20th Century Fox. I have some stuff coming up, so please get me your feedback by June 5th. You can send that to [email protected]. Once again, I am grateful to all of you for sticking with me and being patient. I love you all and I am very lucky to have you!
