Welcome to Show 166!
This time out Julie, Fran, Chris and Steve sit down for a trip down memory lane as we discuss the history of videogames from pong, playing in the mud, and suitcase sized laptops all the way up to present day. And yes, we will admit, we had so much fun we got carried away with the whole concept (Chris had nothing to do with it…really!)
1. Pong, Atari 2600 and early computers
2. Playing in the mud – text based games
3. Quaking in your boots - LAN Parties
4. Set in Amber – Amber screens, Dial Up Games, the worst game in history, and main frames in the night
5. Home on Lagrange
7. Early Console Games – Playstation before they had a number, Nintendo, Square Soft before they added Enix.
8. Global Village – the era of the internet
9. Full Steam Ahead
10. Vanilla Wow, The Flagship Sinks, Fallout out and Fallen Earth
11. Gaming goes mobile
