TCW Podcast Episode 145  - Revisions and Updates 3   Our sixth year anniversary!  In this episode we look back at the podcast and correct some of the errors that were made in the past.  First we explore the company Fun Games which was sued by Atari for making clones of Atari products using stolen equipment.  The source and story of this is better told with new information that has come to light.  Other new information includes the discovery that the 100 yen coin shortage in Japan was real!  The circumstances around the shortage is a lot more complicated.  The final major item was discovering the first game sold on a micro computer.  This particular game was published as a book, and not on tape or magnetic media making it unique for the first game of this type.   Trailer with Video Games: https://twitter.com/QuarterPast83/status/1261412414618128385 TCW 008 - Birth of the Japanese Game Center  Go to 1hr 25 minutes: http://podcast.theycreateworlds.com/e/birth-of-the-japanese-game-center/ Scelbi's Galaxy Game: http://www.scelbi.com/files/docs/books/Galaxy%20Game.pdf   New episodes on the 1st and 15th of every month!   TCW Email: feedback@theycreateworlds.com  Twitter: @tcwpodcast Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/theycreateworlds Alex's Video Game History Blog: http://videogamehistorian.wordpress.com Alex's book is available for preorder and should be released through CRC Press in December 2019: http://bit.ly/TCWBOOK1     Intro Music: Josh Woodward - Airplane Mode -  Music - "Airplane Mode" by Josh Woodward.

TCW Podcast Episode 144 - Ascension into the Black Gate   In our final part looking at the history of the Ultima series we start off looking at Ultima VII.  This game is considered by many to be the pinnacle of the series.   The game combines story elements with a massive world to create a truly unique experience.  The game is followed by two major commercial failures.  Those failures being Ultima VIII and Ultima IX.  The reasons behind those failures are many.  However a lot of the blame for Ultima VIII's shortcomings, especially the jumping, can be laid at the feet of the development team and not EA.  Because of the disaster of VIII, Ultima IX was plagues with issues.  Especially since they had a rotating staff, technology issues, and other challenges the game was an ignoble end to a series that touched many.  However like many of the Ultima games, it is not the destination, but the journey that is the true heart of Ultima.     Intro to Ultima VII: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4ttf9YrkBdQ The Story of The Fellowship: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2mlZVHuK4wM Museum of the Avatar: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PIaOiMH8SKg Retro Tea Break | Richard Garriott tells his Ultima Story: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LU90N4Cbj10 Secret of Money Island 2: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sXRMEz6n5SM Prince of Persia: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xv20j8ChtRY Ultima VII: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qkrCUXc-frY Ultima VIII: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QzfnuxXfQ2M Ultima IX: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v6kXFf7iyC4&list=PLSlejFTVB3ksWWOh2mePsahP5Kew5rHwc TCW 038 - Origin Story: http://podcast.theycreateworlds.com/e/origin-story-1489274251/ Crusader No Remorse: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rUnvNTvHMnQ Meridian 59: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LUsJ6de9mRU   New episodes on the 1st and 15th of every month!   TCW Email: feedback@theycreateworlds.com  Twitter: @tcwpodcast Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/theycreateworlds Alex's Video Game History Blog: http://videogamehistorian.wordpress.com Alex's book is available for preorder and should be released through CRC Press in December 2019: http://bit.ly/TCWBOOK1     Intro Music: Josh Woodward - Airplane Mode -  Music - "Airplane Mode" by Josh Woodward.

TCW Podcast Episode 143 -The Prophet of the Avatar   In part two of our look at the Ultima series we start with how Richard came to the morality system that became a central feature of the franchise.  Using a combination of features he likes from various worlds religions, his own experiences, and so on Richard crafted the eight virtues that the play, who would become the avatar, would have to emulate.  In the following two games. The story focused on how not all choices are black and white like in Ultima V, and how without all the facts you may be fighting against a group that may just be trying to survive.  This is a fascinating look at morality in videogames that is unprecedented at the time, and is rarely, if at all, emulated today.   Download Ultima IV: https://www.gog.com/game/ultima_4 Museum of the Avatar: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PIaOiMH8SKg Softline Interview: http://www.applevault.com/magazines/softline/v3n1/origin.pdf The Eight Virtues Explained: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5wFzZx-L4LI Ultima IV Apple II: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oYGFh3I3IG4 Ultima V Apple II: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5GvWMmlfmgs Ultima VI: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7nBWuV_E6Eg TCW 038 - Origin Story: http://podcast.theycreateworlds.com/e/origin-story-1489274251/   New episodes on the 1st and 15th of every month!   TCW Email: feedback@theycreateworlds.com  Twitter: @tcwpodcast Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/theycreateworlds Alex's Video Game History Blog: http://videogamehistorian.wordpress.com Alex's book is available for preorder and should be released through CRC Press in December 2019: http://bit.ly/TCWBOOK1     Intro Music: Josh Woodward - Airplane Mode -  Music - "Airplane Mode" by Josh Woodward.

TCW Podcast Episode 142 - Ultima: Exodus to Akalabeth   In this episode we look at the legendary series of Ultima!  We look at the lead up inspiration, and influences that led to the creation of Ultima.  This episode ties in heavily with our look at Origin Systems.  In this we use the creation of Ultima as a microcosm of the development of the PC industry.  The plight of the bedroom coder.  Wanting to make cool games, finding themselves thrust into a wider PC game world, and the eventual whirlwind of having publishers involved.  We mainly focus on how the creation of the games mirrors Richard's growth as a game designer and eventually perfecting the base formula with Ultima III.   TCW 038 - Origin Story: http://podcast.theycreateworlds.com/e/origin-story-1489274251/ TCW 117 - Wing Commander: http://podcast.theycreateworlds.com/e/wing-commander-1593278423/ Introduction to the Society of Creative Anachronism : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=046bs9DY7QY Escape: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iM2tb0-9uyg Download Akalabeth: https://www.gog.com/game/akalabeth_world_of_doom Apple II - Akalabeth: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nKAlDUu7zko Apple II - Ultima I: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NrQFzWO4pYo Apple II - Lemonade Stand:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0dUbDDmXp2I Trailer for Time Bandits: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vioocIR0gHQ Apple II - Ultima II: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ts-zYdjDyAI TCW 039 - On-Line Systems: http://podcast.theycreateworlds.com/e/on-line-systems/ TCW 040 - Sierra On-Line: http://podcast.theycreateworlds.com/e/sierra-on-line/ TCW 114 - The Wizards of Sir-Tech: http://podcast.theycreateworlds.com/e/the-wizards-of-sir-tech/ TCW 115 - The Return of the Sdraziw of Sir-Tech: http://podcast.theycreateworlds.com/e/the-return-of-the-sdraziw-of-sir-tech/ Apple II - Ultima III: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2FvHQI2qSKQ   New episodes on the 1st and 15th of every month!   TCW Email: feedback@theycreateworlds.com  Twitter: @tcwpodcast Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/theycreateworlds Alex's Video Game History Blog: http://videogamehistorian.wordpress.com Alex's book is available for preorder and should be released through CRC Press in December 2019: http://bit.ly/TCWBOOK1     Intro Music: Josh Woodward - Airplane Mode -  Music - "Airplane Mode" by Josh Woodward.

TCW Podcast Episode 141 - The Console Market of the 70's and 80's Part 2   In our second part we look at the emergence of the programable consoles.  We see how many companies kept falling into the same trap of FCC regulations, heat issues, and chip shortages.  By the time most of these issues were sorted out, with the notable exception of the Apple II being classified as an "industrial computer", the industry was in the midst of a console transition led by the ColecoVision.  However the video game crash caused it all to be reset, and many promising paths of development were never really explored.  Stay tuned to the end for info on Alex's guest appearances, the topic of our live stream recording this year, and getting stickers!   TCW 076 - A Fairchild Story: http://podcast.theycreateworlds.com/e/a-fairchild-story/ Media Regulation Crash Course: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f6LKl4RKIew History of Radio and the FCC: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ob_db-kxEQw Vintage 1963 FCC Film: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LzPIOfpKkRM How Radio Works 1937: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dEDzmbsvBPw The Vacuum Tube Radio: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0UKCUMghTrc&t=32s Applying the inverse square law to EM waves: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B1yy-zhVM0Y How to understand the inverse square law in lighting: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xO-J42VM448 Cats and Dogs living together: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SA1SxZoFmOU Sport Utility Robot: https://futurama.fandom.com/wiki/Sport-Utility_Robot Atari Archive - RCA, FRED, and the Studio II: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o35y6W9hI-o Bally Home Computer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4QCkUk8ZA6w TCW 90 - Lion and Bally Manufacturing: http://podcast.theycreateworlds.com/e/lion-and-bally-manufacturing/ TCW 091 - Bally: The Road to Fitness: http://podcast.theycreateworlds.com/e/bally-the-road-to-fitness/ George Plimpton Commercials: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HPUMfUvRAOE Atari VCS Space Invaders: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=opru6qPsPa4 The Visions of Coleco Part 1: http://podcast.theycreateworlds.com/e/the-visions-of-coleco-part-1/ The Visions of Coleco Part 2: http://podcast.theycreateworlds.com/e/the-visions-of-coleco-part-2/ Video Game History Hour: https://gamehistory.org/ep-31-spacewar-dual-to-the-death/ Super Mega Crash Bros.

TCW Podcast Episode 140 - The Console Market of the 70's and 80's Part 1   We look at the early dedicated hardware systems in the United States.  We have talked about many of these companies in the past.  However we have not brought the story together at a large scale looking at the influences these companies had on each other, the consumer market in general, and what the market could handle.  We see the reasons behind the transition to programable systems as being the logical course for an industry where dedicated hardware had reached a limit.  We will continue in part two seeing how the programable systems brought a new shift to the market.   TCW 106 - The Small Voice of Magnavox: http://podcast.theycreateworlds.com/e/the-small-voice-of-magnavox/ The Slide Rule "Bringing 1916 to 2016": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CblhxhnSymg The Odyssey 100: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8y03hn64dHY Pong Console C-100: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xCmYgAw6qmI Sears Tele-Games Pong: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GxoBDK-CYww Craftsman 1976 Commercial: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CSqER0JLicE Exploring the Cincinnati Mills Mall: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3sPQcSBMVFc Exploring the Abandoned Northridge Mall: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n67s2r6fVKg Sear's Catalog Home: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3kb24gwnZ18 Sear Houses TV Story: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NirU-JSJQPA TCW 124 - The Visions of Coleco Part 1: http://podcast.theycreateworlds.com/e/the-visions-of-coleco-part-1/ TCW 125 - The Visions of Coleco Part 2: http://podcast.theycreateworlds.com/e/the-visions-of-coleco-part-2/ Rybylith Example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q_zInegHR40 Integrated Circuits History: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6-tKOHICqrI Homemade Chips: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nxz_ENnmgtI TCW 076 - A Fairchild Story: http://podcast.theycreateworlds.com/e/a-fairchild-story/     New episodes on the 1st and 15th of every month!   TCW Email: feedback@theycreateworlds.com  Twitter: @tcwpodcast Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/theycreateworlds Alex's Video Game History Blog: http://videogamehistorian.wordpress.com Alex's book is available for preorder and should be released through CRC Press in December 2019: http://bit.ly/TCWBOOK1   Intro Music: Josh Woodward - Airplane Mode -  Music - "Airplane Mode" by Josh Woodward.

TCW Podcast Episode 139 - Tec Toy and Brazil   We look at the video game industry in Brazil.  A big thanks to Marcus Garrett and his book "1983+1984 " which details a lot of the video game industry in Brazil.  We delve into the interesting history of outside companies operating in Brazil and the gray market that has developed as a result.  Once we have laid the groundwork we look at the company Tectoy which is one of the most successful toy/video game companies in Brazil.  They ended up partnering with SEGA to bring in the Master System, Mega Drive, and even the Saturn to Brazil.  However today they mostly refile, iterate, and provide various option of the master system and to a lesser extent Mega Drive to Brazil today.  They are the most prominent location to get SEGA hardware today!   TeleJogo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QGd2txxJIBY Telejogo II: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QaWtddd7liQ The Splice Vision: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V_kUt-vGZr0 Zillion Box and Packaging Brazil: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KSTXk_FJ4PU Zillion played at night: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_vkjmmgzL50 Sega Master System Super Compact: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RrOdnNTp4JM Woody Woodpecker: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L_k1Q4d82Tc Street Fighter II Master System: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5H7bR7wzBo4 Duke Nukem 3D Mega Drive: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wPdrJtrCi3U Monica: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yiEc33t5br4 History of the Tectoy Zeebo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jfXoAqYZlys   New episodes on the 1st and 15th of every month!   TCW Email: feedback@theycreateworlds.com  Twitter: @tcwpodcast Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/theycreateworlds Alex's Video Game History Blog: http://videogamehistorian.wordpress.com Alex's book is available for preorder and should be released through CRC Press in December 2019: http://bit.ly/TCWBOOK1   Intro Music: Josh Woodward - Airplane Mode -  Music - "Airplane Mode" by Josh Woodward.

TCW Podcast Episode 138 - Dave Nutting Associates   This is our second half looking at Dave Nutting and specifically Dave Nutting Associates.  We see how they are able change the industry by showing the viability of solid state Pinball.  Despite the setback of not being able to license the technology to Bally/Midway they pressed on with developing video games.  Specifically Gun Fight which had realistic, for the time, human analogs that could fire guns at each other. As they continued to show how well they were to Bally/Midway they ended up being bought out.  Unfortunately by the time of the crash Dave Nutting Associates ended up being a small player in a crowded industry and was shut down in 1984.   TCW 59 - Williams' Crazy Story Part 1: http://podcast.theycreateworlds.com/e/williams-crazy-story-pt-1/ TCW 60 - Williams' Crazy Story Part 2 : http://podcast.theycreateworlds.com/e/williams-crazy-story-pt-2/ Bally Pinball Flicker: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l-xCz-CCegg How a Pinball Machine Works In Slow Motion: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tmg5WOvPKpU How an older Pinball Machine Works: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v0Q63AVnjEM TCW 051 - Sons of Pong: http://podcast.theycreateworlds.com/e/sons-of-pong/ Mirco Spirit of 76: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cy-Y1gPlLJM Mirco Spirit of 76 Images: https://www.ipdb.org/machine.cgi?id=2294 Gun Fight: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xYa0G6KGayk The Amazing Maze: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mjBtgqnuuw8 Tornado Baseball: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_BXYMr26Me0 Tornado Baseball Cabinet: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=26LLVZre_9k 280 ZZZAP: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hmyVEJzgvZ0 Sea Wolf: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IJBu5fGKKpE Undersea Raiders https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pcq4_eaxiUw Boot Hill: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mVsaiSeo0Ls Sea Wolf II: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jH0CrQOyrSA Gorf: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uML-l2xuqew Gorf Cabinet: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=agxHqo6Qqyg Star Trek The Motion Picture Cloud: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oFnoM37IQec Wizard of Wor: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D780JHlQxxs Adventures of Robby Roto: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yE4_GbsmkmY Baby Pac Man: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vP1mOfBl1UU Professor Pac Man: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Ctq-4U4YUA   New episodes on the 1st and 15th of every month!   TCW Email: feedback@theycreateworlds.com  Twitter: @tcwpodcast Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/theycreateworlds Alex's Video Game History Blog: http://videogamehistorian.wordpress.com Alex's book is available for preorder and should be released through CRC Press in December 2019: http://bit.ly/TCWBOOK1   Intro Music: Josh Woodward - Airplane Mode -  Music - "Airplane Mode" by Josh Woodward.
