Hi all, episode 121 is now available. It features Tutankham and Sky Skipper by Parker Brothers. Also be sure to check out Phil's video for Tutankham, Phil always does such a great job on his Youtube channel. http://traffic.libsyn.com/2600gamebygamepodcast/121_-_Tutankham_and_Sky_Skipper_by_Parker_Brothers.mp3

This has been a LONG time coming, I'm glad he finally got a publisher.

Hey guys, episode 120 is now up, featuring Tunnel Runner and Omega Race. Be sure to check out the No Swear Gamer's videos on both of these games as well. I was very jealous of his Omega Race box. http://traffic.libsyn.com/2600gamebygamepodcast/120_-_Tunnel_Runner_and_Omega_Race_by_CBS_Electronics.mp3

Episode 119 featuring Dragonfire and Fathom is now available. Thank you for listening. http://traffic.libsyn.com/2600gamebygamepodcast/119_-_Dragonfire_and_Fathom_by_Imagic.mp3

Holy cow, you beat Fathom? My hat is off to you sir. Wow.

Dig Dug, Dukes of Hazzard, Stunt Cycle, and Dukes of Hazzard are discussed allergically in the late(st) episode. Thanks for listening. http://traffic.libsyn.com/2600gamebygamepodcast/118_-_Dig_Dug_Dukes_of_Hazzard_and_Stunt_Cycle_by_Atari.mp3

Swordquest is all about the contest, the games are just a tool to enter the contest. Two of them are okay games, but all of them are kind of pointless if you're not entering the contest.

That's the part I hadn't heard about, but I can't tell if Curt is speculating or not.

Thank you everyone! New short episode featuring Commavid's Cosmic Swarm and Room of DOOOOOOOOM is now available. http://traffic.libsyn.com/2600gamebygamepodcast/117_Cosmic_Swarm_and_Room_of_Doom_by_Commavid.mp3

Thank you Justin! It's basically shameless self promotion.

Episode 116 featuring a bunch of Coleco games that were or were not released is now available. Thanks for listening! http://traffic.libsyn.com/2600gamebygamepodcast/116_-_Donkey_Kong_Jr_and_Looping_by_Coleco.mp3

New episode featuring Greg Troutman's Dark Mage and This Planet Sucks is out now. Thank you for listening! http://traffic.libsyn.com/2600gamebygamepodcast/115_-_Dark_Mage_and_This_Planet_Sucks_by_Greg_Troutman.mp3

Finally a new episode is up that deals with games, in particular Spider Fighter and Seaquest by Activision. Both are excellent. Thanks for listening everyone. http://traffic.libsyn.com/2600gamebygamepodcast/114_-_Spider_Fighter_and_Seaquest_by_Activision.mp3

LOOK AT ME AND MY TIMELY UPDATING. I have put out 3 shows since the last time I posted. The aforementioned Name This Game and Towering Inferno: http://traffic.libsyn.com/2600gamebygamepodcast/112_-_Name_This_Game__Towering_Inferno_by_U.S._Games.mp3 I also did a special episode where I talked about ME ME ME and my video game collecting history: http://traffic.libsyn.com/2600gamebygamepodcast/My_Video_Game_Collecting_History.mp3 Just this morning I posted my extra long show about Centipede and Ms. Pac-Man: http://traffic.libsyn.com/2600gamebygamepodcast/113_-_Ms._Pac-Man__Centipede_by_Atari.mp3 Next week is my annual (?) Christmas Memories episode, I ran out of time to do research on any games. If you have any Atari-related Christmas memories you can send them to me by December 19th at 2600gamebygame@comcast.net. On January 13th I'll be discussing Spider Fighter and Seaquest by Activision, so if you like those games, please let me know about it! Thank you so much for your support!

I have Name This Game and Towering Inferno coming up, and again, I am having a lot of fun with these two. It's amazing to me that just putting a little bit of time into these games yields such positive results. It's not true for all of them of course (I'm looking at you Fireworld), but I'm finding that games that have been dismissed for years deserve another look. Phil already has great videos for these up on his No Swear Gamer show, so please check those out! Then you can send me some feedback at 2600gamebygame@comcast.net if you'd like. If I ask for feedback here, I will forget to read it. If you listen to my show you know how I am.

Thank you right back.

Since the last episode, I put out a pinball special and episode 111 is out today, featuring Turmoil and Fantastic Voyage. http://traffic.libsyn.com/2600gamebygamepodcast/111_-_Turmoil__Fantastic_Voyage_by_20th_Century_Fox.mp3 Happy_Halloween_Haunted_House_by_Gottlieb.mp3 In two weeks I'll be discussing Name This Game and Towering Inferno by US Games. If you have any thoughts or memories of these games, please send them to 2600gamebygame@comcast.net. Thanks for listening!

The E.T. episode is now available, I hope very much that you enjoy it. http://traffic.libsyn.com/2600gamebygamepodcast/110_-_E.T._the_Extra-Terrestrial.mp3

If you couldn't tell from my avatar, I'm a big Beatles fan. R.E.M. is my probably my second favorite. It's hard to narrow down to 5 what I like, so here are a few: Monkees, Paul Revere & the Raiders, Interpol, Spoon, 60s-70s Motown, Herman's Hermits, Vampire Weekend, They Might Be Giants, Beth Orton, Inbreds (from Canada, there's another one out there), Land of Talk, the Smithereens, Pink Floyd. I have been getting into some jazz recently, and I really like John Coltrane, Miles Davis, and Louis Armstrong. I will stop now.

Another great episode. I LOVE the stories at the end, I hope you keep those up! Also, please let Bishop know to please throw out the used Keurig cup after making coffee in the break by breakroom. Thanks!

I love the Supercharger. I don't use it as much now since you can play the roms in Stella. The games I've played so far are pretty great!

Hi all, my name is Ferg and I started this now bi-weekly podcast in 2013. My goal is to cover EVERY game made for the Atari 2600. Because I'm dumb. In each episode, I cover one to three games (usually by one company) and I talk about the gameplay, history (of the game AND the programmer if I can), packaging, and YOUR memories of the games. I always give a heads up for what's coming up and I get such wonderful feedback for almost every game. You can check out all of the episodes here: http://2600gamebygamepodcast.libsyn.com/webpage I am also on iTunes and Stitcher, but iTunes has started to remove some of the shows, so the Libsyn page is your best bet right now for the early episodes, if you want to hear me learn how to podcast over a long period of time (still learning). This week I cover two Spectravision games which I like very much, China Syndrome and the Challenge of Nexar. You can find the episode here: http://traffic.libsyn.com/2600gamebygamepodcast/109_-_China_Syndrome__Challenge_of_Nexar_by_Spectravision.mp3 The next episode will be about E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial, which you may have heard of. If you would like to contribute your memories of E.T., you can send them to me at 2600gamebygame@comcast.net Thank you for reading all this and especially for listening!
