Uncle Clive's Radionics

TCW Podcast Episode 130 - Uncle Clive's Radionics   We look at Sir Clive Sinclair in his early years dealing with creation of electronics for hobbyists.  Sir Clive held a passion for miniaturization and doing so at a low cost.  This started with audio equipment, amplifiers, high fidelity stereo, and FM radios.  This continued into calculators, and digital watches.  Sir Clive wanted to look into miniature TVs, and procured funding through the NEB.  In an act of prescience he founded a second company that eventually became Sinclair Research to serve as a life boat if things went bad with the NEB.  Sinclair Research, then known as the Science of Cambridge, produced the first domestic computer in the United Kingdom the MK 14!  Sir Clive eventually left Sinclair Radionics after the disasterous launch of the Black Watch.  A watch that when shocked had the potential to overload, and explode.    What is High Fidelity: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b0LWnpzdrW4 Sinclair Black Watch Commercial: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PXSNDPeSC1c Cambridge MK14 Computer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O_vhWxu-spA Sinclair Mini TV: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BqqFY8MUWLo Goldeneye on a Sinclair TV80: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=auWKrlmZ3t0   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.

The Crash That Almost Was

TCW Podcast Episode 129 - The Crash That Almost Was   We look at the crash that almost was.  Most people do not realize that in the mid nineties we came very close to another video game market crash.  A difficult transition was at hand as companies tried to figure out how and if they embrace the third dimension in video games.  Coupled with a declining arcade market.  New hardware costing twice as much, if not more than current systems many companies were on the edge.  The market forces between Japan and the US with currency exchanges ate into profit margins.  It lead to the deaths or decline of a few prominent companies.  Most notably SEGA, and Acclaim.  However because not just one major company was baring this the industry survived and continues to move forward to the present day!   Castlevania: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mOTUVXrAOE8 Super Castlevania IV: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jd7P7niYimk Super C: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2-z8xXA_v8k Contra III The Alien Wars: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uxJ5XbYWMpA Super Mario Brothers: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j6JjK04Pas0 Super Mario Brothers 3: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c2LTcQwmOV4 Street Fighter II Turbo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=otPC3_bL-4Y Super Street Fighter II: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ezoa6sVVP7U Final Fight: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EKDNUKa68NI Final Fight 2: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EHk5JJ56v2Q Castlevania X: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZGQcMr2JGE0   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.

Nintendo in 1985

TCW Podcast Episode 128 - Nintendo in 1985   We look at that special time during 1985 when Nintendo did a holiday test market in New York City!  By being in the right place at the right time they were able to, along with market forces, revive the dead home console industry.  They  had quite a challenge with retailers, and a public that were hostile towards games.  Knowing this Nintendo worked to distance itself from the precious era with marketing that did not use the terms video game, or cartridges.  Instead this was an entertainment system.  You used Game Paks.  Not to mention the introduction of R.O.B. everyone's favorite Robotic Operating Buddy!  By the time of Christmas 1985 with a lot of hard work Nintendo was able to set the stage for a nationwide launch the following year.    TCW 104 - A Holistic View of ET: http://podcast.theycreateworlds.com/e/a-holistic-view-of-et/ TCW 014 - Nintendo Playing with Power: http://podcast.theycreateworlds.com/e/nintendo-playing-with-power/ TCW 110 - Books of History: http://podcast.theycreateworlds.com/e/books-of-history/ 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/ TCW 019 - The Great Video Game Crash Part 1: http://podcast.theycreateworlds.com/e/the-great-video-game-crash-part-1/ TCW 020 - The Great Video Game Crash Part 2: http://podcast.theycreateworlds.com/e/the-great-video-game-crash-part-2/ TCW 021 - The Great Video Game Crash Part 3: http://podcast.theycreateworlds.com/e/the-great-video-game-crash-part-3/ TCW 028 - Picking up the Pieces: The US Arcade Industry After the Crash: http://podcast.theycreateworlds.com/e/picking-up-the-pieces-the-us-arcade-industry-after-the-crash/ Nintendo Advanced Video System : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GEA2ePG8m-4 The Story of R.O.B. the Robot: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w2FuHErzhVE First Nintendo Commercial: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IU1-ncmPiJk Early Nintendo Commercial: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kWZo56YK9gE Nintendo Deluxe Commercial: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bzdyp9L7se8 Gyromite: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ocrTkuPMmvI Duck Hunt: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fQRtvktq_Hg Stack Up: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Da0_OgCCLJA Hogan's Alley: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3RZdbIvW3LI Wild Gunman: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UDuFDlAZpZY Excite Bike: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fRgMCtaWoSU Wrecking Crew: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-7F-7MtkHD0 Tennis: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jtO34yEbNvo Baseball: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k_hETp0pAuU Golf: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BmWjZbHjUgg Soccer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m8fwKWKFmbw 10 Yard Fight: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5LUyTv9j1TM Ice Climber: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=awYlHBXHits Clu Clu Land: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_M2iQloynbg Pinball: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=786yrUhXVrk Kung Fu: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B-gyVEqS1Ts Super Mario Brothers: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7qirrV8w5SQ Piano Scene BIG: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CF7-rz9nIn4   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.

Dreams of Sega

TCW Podcast Episode 127 - Dreams of Sega   We look at the rapid decline of SEGA.  A company mired in infighting between executives.  This led to the disasterous  launch of the Sega Saturn.  Which was launched early as a panic move when faced with the competition from the SONY PlayStation.  SEGA tried again with the Dreamcast, but was hindered by NEC only able to produce a quarter of the promised chips.  Continued infighting and an exodus of middle management led to more problems.  Resulting in the eventual merger, after a second attempt, with Sammy  where SEGA currently resides as SEGA Sammy Holdings!   TCW 005 - The Untold History of SEGA: http://podcast.theycreateworlds.com/e/the-untold-history-of-sega/ TCW033 - The Saga of SEGA: http://podcast.theycreateworlds.com/e/the-saga-of-sega/ TCW068 - Sega VS Nintendo Round 1: http://podcast.theycreateworlds.com/e/sega-vs-nintendo-round-1/ TCW069 - Sega VS Nintendo Round 2: http://podcast.theycreateworlds.com/e/sega-vs-nintendo-round-2/ TCW070 - Sega VS Nintendo Round 3: http://podcast.theycreateworlds.com/e/sega-vs-nintendo-round-3/ TCW041 - Beating Them All Up: http://podcast.theycreateworlds.com/e/beating-them-all-up/ Tower of Power: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JsSbcmRQfHc The Launch of the Sega Saturn: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SkdygHiqB40 The Launch of the Sega Dreamcast: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6jlsTlmj_eI   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.

Activision and Atari

TCW Podcast Episode 126 - Activision and Atari   We look at the video games that Activision made for the Atari VCS/2600 when the founders of Activision split from Atari.  Activision focused on graphics and presentation as a key factor in the game creation process.  They were able to push the limits of the Atari VCS to do things that were thought impossible by the base system.  The sunset employed in the game with Stampede is used again in later games and became a kind of hallmark of some Activision games.  With the release of Pitfall 2,  the inclusion of a special chip providing enhanced graphics, and music hints at where the VCS could have gone had the crash not occurred!   TCW 009 - The History of Mediagenic Part 1: http://podcast.theycreateworlds.com/e/history-of-mediagenic-part-i/ TCW 010 - The History of Mediagenic Part 2: http://podcast.theycreateworlds.com/e/history-of-mediagenic-part-ii/ How CRT Televisions Work: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l4UgZBs7ZGo Dragster: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nz79pdqiyk0 Checkers: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xhtePX2BApk Fishing Derby: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_25-gc-sno0 Boxing: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4JAf0RDD_qg Bridge: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4sckeVsRrsc Skiing: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HVBcKKCEkB0 Laser Blast: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kvnq96SVQh0 Tennis: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1TueiMj2l3k Ice Hockey: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-aev4tsHuPc Stampede: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y-e2ZE5YDeU Stampede Commercial: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DB6fbtr9pb4 Freeway: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R5pdJz3DcNk Freeway Commercial: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pqHxuTPcSAs Kaboom: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M-SBEh2p9KA Kaboom Commercial: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FkNztWEVxD4 Avalanche Arcade: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0VDvRlNuaX4 Barnstorming: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tzekJZZ9QW0 Barnstorming Commercial: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dOIxiVjjZgU River Raid: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cnFjVybfxj4 River Raid Commercial: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Baep8YZO-l4 Starmaster: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BmJcXXvK2Bo Starmaster Commercial: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ClO_Gvr7G2U Sky Jinks: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bJ3ppEtCs0w Chopper Command: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EecA8TdChxo Pitfall: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aAJzamWAFOE Pitfall Commercial: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DA4V-n8Ft3g Grand Prix: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TWkPqNl0nw8 Seaquest: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ErknoYi8Ja0 Decathlon: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QfaOTKClseM Robot Tank: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8U9_AzXddBU Robot Tank Commercial: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IdJF5jhajb4 Pitfall 2: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZZIMaJnzPzw Pitfall 2 Commercial: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y3AWTX3V2yY   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.

The Visions of Coleco Part 2

TCW Podcast Episode 125 - The Visions of Coleco Part 2   In our second part look at Coleco we dive into the electronics and transition into programable consoles.  We see how they influenced the post crash consoles of Nintendo and Sega.  With the release of Colecovision we saw one of the most advanced consoles of the pre crash era.  The system was able to do faithful recreations of many popular arcade games.  This is most exemplified with the release Donkey Kong.  Coleco tried to transition into computers with the release of ADAM.  However this turned into a disaster for the company and marked the turning point into a rapid decline.  They were able to stay afloat for a little while with the release of Cabbage Patch Kids, however Coleco was unable to recover from the downward spiral.   TCW 025 - Mattel Electronics?: http://podcast.theycreateworlds.com/e/mattel-electronics/ Coleco Quarterback Commercial: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=93u6POODKQY Coleco Head to Head Commercial: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cmLX1ylQhMs Mini Tabletop Arcade: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Iuo0njOI-qE Colecovision Retrospective: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uhOyuI4MwS8 Colecovision Turbo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VbxX3DK3pSU Colecovision Zaxxon: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sGIAKKsNylU Colecovision Donkey Kong: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nI9WwdVb-_A ADAM Computer Comercial: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U-dmEFOT3FY Coleco Adam Review: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iAYCqMchb88   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.
