TCW Podcast Episode 115 - The Return of the Sdraziw of Sir-Tech   Our second part look at Sir-Tech Software!  The company continues to struggle with the release of wizardry V, but makes the transition away from the Apple II with the release of Wizardry VI.  The Wizardry franchise is a major hit in the Japanese PC space.  This leads to Wizardry anime, manga, and Japanese only games.  Sir-Tech still continued to struggle to maintain a presence as the US PC industry continued to consolidate.  Despite some success bringing foreign software to the states, Sir-Tech closed operations in the 2000s.     TCW 071 - A Story of Brøderbund!: http://podcast.theycreateworlds.com/e/a-story-of%c2%a0br%c3%b8derbund/ TCW 074 - The Japanese PC Industry: http://podcast.theycreateworlds.com/e/the-japanese-pc-industry/ Wizardry OAV: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VGYMeuiFyv8 Wizardry V: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gJVrsR1kKT4 Wizardry VI: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WxdBGJsMD4g The Bard's Tale C64: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y8VubXKOdTo Wizardry VII: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vDQ29xYfHFE Freakin' Funky Fuzzballs: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W2EvvaDbqOs Jagged Alliance: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W52AJktdt2g Realms of Arkania: Blade of Destiny:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5KHoNrylJTg TCW 082 - An Unlikely Pairing of Siliwood: http://podcast.theycreateworlds.com/e/an-unlikely-pairing-of-siliwood/ Wizardry VIII Speedrun: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4NyK6DEd9Ps Jagged Alliance II: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ixp1EdyjNbY&list=PLw0Vo7rx5xsWP3VJSWFCVppg6RXE1pdji Jagged Aliance II Unfinished Business: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CujpJ6fA19w&list=PLBD6B9401FA082CEB   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 114 - The Wizards of Sir-Tech   We look at the company Sir-Tech.  Known as "the Wizardry company", and founded by Norman Sirotek and Robert Woodhead.  The company was originally founded to market Info Tree, a database program.  The shift was made into video games starting with the release of Galactic Attack.  With the heavy influences of the games on the PLATO system.  Andrew Greenberg and Woodhead would meet, and would start collaboration on what would eventually be Wizardry: Proving Grounds of the Mad Overlord.  One of the best produced games at the time, it was a major hit on the Apple II platform.  Sustainability for the franchise was hamstrung with lack of innovation, and the requirement of the first game to play Wizardry II and III.  This culminated with the major disaster that was the release of Wizardry IV.     TCW 084 - Time Shared: http://podcast.theycreateworlds.com/e/time-shared/ CARDIAC - Computer Teaching Tool: https://www.cs.drexel.edu/~bls96/museum/cardiac.html Free Pascal and Lazarus Wiki: https://wiki.freepascal.org/ The Digital Antiquarian - Pascal and the P-Machine: https://www.filfre.net/2012/03/pascal-and-the-p-machine/ Empire on Plato: http://www.daleske.com/plato/empire.php Galactic Attack: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pPBac4JAOmg DND  - DOS version: https://www.classicdosgames.com/online/dnd_121.html PLATO Online Emulation: https://www.cyber1.org/index.asp Wizardry I: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D-iOZzwIlMA Wizardry II: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W5eYUXmt_sk Wizardry III (PC): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_cWa5HqhWdg Wizardry IV: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LQaRAYcUoIM TCW038 - 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 113 - Primordial Computer Game Industry   A big episode looking at two major companies that bridged the gap between the mainframe time sharing age, and the trinity of home computers.  We also look at the lead up to those companies with type in listings in books, and magazines.  We look at the evolution of early PCs, and the eventual development of video display cards designed to hook up computers to television sets.  An almost forgotten era of PC development, pioneering magazines, and games that would have influence on the home PC market yet to come.     Guest Appearances The 42 Cast: http://42cast.com/index.php/2020/03/23/the-42cast-episode-70-they-create-worlds/ Pixelated Audio: https://pixelatedaudio.com/earlygames-tcw/   A Critical Hit! - Kate Willaert: https://www.acriticalhit.com/best-box-art-part-2-computer-games-on-printed-paper/ Popular Electronics Jan 1975 ALTAIR 8800: https://www.americanradiohistory.com/Archive-Poptronics/70s/1975/Poptronics-1975-01.pdf TCW 016 - Early Computer Game Platforms: The Trinity, and The Disciples: http://podcast.theycreateworlds.com/e/early-computer-game-platforms-the-trinity-and-the-disciples/ TCW 084 - Time Shared: http://podcast.theycreateworlds.com/e/time-shared/ Popular Electronics Jul 1976 Sol 20: https://www.americanradiohistory.com/Archive-Poptronics/70s/1976/Poptronics-1976-07.pdf Scelbi's First Book of Computer Games for the "8008"/"8080": http://www.scelbi.com/files/docs/books/First%20Book%20of%20Computer%20Games.pdf Scelbi's Galaxy Game for the "8008"/:8080": http://www.scelbi.com/files/docs/books/Galaxy%20Game.pdf Cromemco Video Dazzler: Kaleidoscope: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2tDbn1N8EWI Byte Magazine Dazzler Write-up: https://archive.org/details/byte-magazine-1976-06/page/n7/mode/2up Microchess: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Zuihp7Gq3Y The KIM-1 Microcomputer History and Basic Features: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jj0Hn2ZcW-s The KIM-1 Microcomputer Serial and Cassette I/O: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=97PccuhGl9w BYTE Magazine Archive: https://archive.org/details/byte-magazine Creative Computing Archive: https://archive.org/details/creativecomputing Saucer War: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=exSJ0gYw0pM Digital Derby: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D5bO6AsPOrs Advanced Dragon Maze: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BHK1V-_Dz3w How "Old School" Graphics Worked: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_rsycfDliZU Rocket Pilot: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fJEYr-nkgzA Saucer Invasion: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sgmR4ULcgqo Star Wars: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3JzmX8KKHmM Space Maze: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KAzEWT20WSc Laser Turret: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1czDFB6qmZ0 Pirates!: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yULTq7wnJ3M 3D Docking Mission: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=66-CqOuBQpY   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 112 - And Landing on it!   We continue our dive into platforming games.  We look at the three main "schools" of thought brought about in the 2-D era.  We start with the fast platforming pioneered by Sonic with Crash Bandicoot.  The cinematic platformer of Prince of Persia is continued with Tomb Raider.  Nintendo, makes its shift into 3-D with Starfox, and the development of the N64.  This culminates with the release of Super Mario 64.  These early transitions continue to evolve into the modern action platformers of Uncharted, and Super Mario Sunshine.   How Crash Bandicoot Hacked The Original Playstation: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=izxXGuVL21o Crash Bandicoot: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xK-h4M4Aetg TCW 082 - An Unlikely Pairing of Siliwood: http://podcast.theycreateworlds.com/e/an-unlikely-pairing-of-siliwood/ Crash Bandicoot Commercial: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mTi5EaocGaY Sega Saturn Tomb Raider: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pfTnITt-vkU TCW 036 - Raiding Eidos: http://podcast.theycreateworlds.com/e/raiding-eidos/ Starglider: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vqmTEjpLd8E Starfox: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2EkVHxE0Y8I Stunt Race FX: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hUT0ZLdYwok Super Mario World 2: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U8btNneN8ew Croc Legend of the Gobbos: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tQ5xtiisV-U Super Mario 64: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h6tFoIUyOdU Jax and Dexter: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9lpq3zVXs9A Sonic Adventure: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bd9Duv-6pFg Super Mario Sunshine: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9e11_HgnBUg Uncharted: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hv48CUSjC40 Uncharted 2: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0EhpxpPeTKE   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 111 - Jumping to It!   We leap around to the myriad of games that were influential in the development of  platformer genre.  Starting with an evolution from Space Invaders into Heiankyo Alien; the concept was thrown onto its side with Space Panic.  Further refinement brought in jumping with Donkey Kong.  Platformers were not as suited for the arcade scene, and ended up truly finding a place in the home on consoles and computers.   Load Runner: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PWwyhymcDxI Space Invaders: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=opru6qPsPa4 TCW 074 - The Japanese PC Industry : http://podcast.theycreateworlds.com/e/the-japanese-pc-industry/ Heiankyo Alien Arcade: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NSxYdeqJAkY Heiankyo Alien Game Boy: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vY3qVBkIu74 Space Panic: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dLd1xABCsaQ Donkey Kong: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U24OcmpZ6fA Gaming Historian YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/user/mcfrosticles Raiders of the lost ark intro: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mUWYmTpYdP4 Pitfall Atari 2600: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CkDllyETiBA Miner 2049er: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wg12YPQ5nKk TCW 018: British 8-Bit Computer Market: Software: http://podcast.theycreateworlds.com/e/the-british-8-bit-computer-market-software/ Packland: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4CDVshu9a4U Super Mario Brothers: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OvfBUntkYcg Russian Attack: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=STjMHqeF3R0 Mega Man: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hkD3lEANa_4 Mega Man 2: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CWZZUyD-nRs Prince of Persia: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xv20j8ChtRY Rotoscoping: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nDaEKy7qB7U Alex Kidd in Miracle World: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yasiyS7dkcU Aladdin: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xlxuPsQFX28 Sonic: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MTBGIo7HXis Donkey Kong Country: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d4EUEsEM328     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 order through CRC Press and other retailers: http://bit.ly/TCWBOOK1   Intro Music: Josh Woodward - Airplane Mode -  Music - "Airplane Mode" by Josh Woodward.
