TCW Podcast Episode 106 - The Small Voice of Magnavox   Magnavox continues to strive for survival as an axillary of Philips.  While people close to the video game division continue to be optimistic about their offerings; management at Philips was not so.  The company continued to be plagued with production shortfalls with new chips, FCC approval problems, and new competition.  They were able to make a few games of note developing some interesting ideas on where to take home consoles.  Ultimately Magnavox faded into just a brand name for Philips after the video game crash.   Magnavox Odyssey 2000: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cEEhwCIUDhE Magnavox Odyssey 3000: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FW0vW3D91ew 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/ Magnavox Odyssey 2: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Z4amwfcO9k Invaders from Hyperspace: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hryPZIcaksY Take the money and run: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WTB3VLhCRjE Quest for the Ring: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k-m-_11Jjf8 KC Muchkin: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=07JtE4pIq8U TCW 027 - The Magnavox Patent Lawsuits: http://podcast.theycreateworlds.com/e/the-magnavox-patent-lawsuits-friday-september-16-2016-1003-am/ https://www.magnavox.com/en/   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.

TCW Podcast Episode 105 - The Big Voice of Magnavox   We look at the company of Magnavox.  Started around the turn of the century getting into electronics with voice amplification, and eventually radios.  Magnavox continued with home  electronics in televisions and stereo systems.  Unfortunately their visionary leader died unexpectedly, and with the rise of non-American television manufacturers put a lot of pressure on the company.  With all this pressure Magnavox is bought by Philips in 1974 to expand the Dutch company's holdings in the United States.  The video game division continued  to fight for survival and relevance as the decade wound to a close.   Retro Tech - The Wire Recorder: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=90ihiTwJPCc TCW 026 -The Magnavox Odyssey: http://podcast.theycreateworlds.com/e/the-magnavox-odyssey/ Magnavox Console Demo (Ft.

TCW Podcast Episode 104- A Holistic View of ET   The game that has become so shrouded in myth and legend is brought to light in this holiday episode!  We look at how E.T. was thrust upon Atari by Warner in a bid to bring Stephen Spielberg in to makes movies for Warner.  With a massive royalty overhead, a short five week production time, and a massive brain drain at Atari Howard Scott Warshaw stepped up to the challenge.  He took the ambitious task of programing E.T. for Atari, having done Raiders of the Lost Arc previously.  Despite the time crunch he decided do an adventure like game which, in combination with a lack of mentorship,  lead to some poor design choices.   Though lauded as being 'the worst game ever' E.T. is just an unfortunate game that hit Atari at an inopportune time.     Original E.T.

TCW Podcast Episode 103 - Elite Systems   We look at one of the British software companies Elite Systems.  The company was originally named Richard Wilcox software, and was founded as a collaboration between two brothers with the encouragement of their father.   Owing to Richard still being a teenager, had schooling, and could not make programing a full-time career at the time the decision was made to rebrand the company.  Steve renamed the company to Elite Systems in 1984, and hired bedroom coders to produce software for the company.  The company continued to be one of the industry leaders when it came to where the market was going.  They went to licenses, in studio development, consoles, independent developer, and now mobile gaming.  We finish up looking briefly at the controversy around the company's Kick-Starter campaign for the ZX Spectrum Bluetooth keyboard for retro games.    Blue Thunder: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L9nESwphljA Kokotoni wilf: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_cnq4SdcYzs Airwolf: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4LOAciMPGrI Frank Bruno's Boxing: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-cUku-A0UOc TCW 035 - EA: The Teenage Years: http://podcast.theycreateworlds.com/e/ea-the-teenage-years/ 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/ Commando: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tKom2O2H0pQ Paperboy: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aR9tQYb76UM  Dragon's Lair EU NES: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=63JKJPtZ344 Striker SNES: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bVmLLmILrrg Test Drive Off-Road PSX: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QMNUsD_FfQw Test Drive Off-Road PC: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SA3M5K0ezsg Telegraph video of ZX Spectrum Bluetooth Keyboard with Steve Wilcox: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0HQQsKBeIpI   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.

TCW Podcast Episode 102 - Stern Electronics   We look at the short history of Stern Electronics.  A company that has influenced and been influenced by multiple other companies through its people.  We cover the paths of many of these people including the founder Gary Stern.  During the transition to video games in the late 70's and early 80's Stern was the American arm for Konami bringing over many of their games.  With financial difficulties from having to buy out one of the major investors, once they became mired in legal trouble, and the collapse of the video game industry, Stern ceased to be.  A quick flash for an interesting company.   TCW 059 - Williams’ Crazy Story Pt 1: http://podcast.theycreateworlds.com/e/williams-crazy-story-pt-1/ TCW 060 - Williams’ Crazy Story Pt 2: http://podcast.theycreateworlds.com/e/williams-crazy-story-pt-2/ TCW 090 - 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/ Dr. Tran: (potentially NSFW): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FO0kRE5OTZI TCW 051 - Sons of Pong: http://podcast.theycreateworlds.com/e/sons-of-pong/ Smiley Face History: https://www.theguardian.com/artanddesign/2009/feb/21/smiley-face-design-history URL Video Action Indy 500: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zIa0J10raDc Berzerk: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HdewB64l2-c TCW 052 - The Many Faces of Konami: http://podcast.theycreateworlds.com/e/the-many-faces-of-konami/ Astro Invader: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3UcmU0qV5U8 The End: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dcOa6DSDgxQ Tutankham: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Z242gkTzmM   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 101 - Infocom We look at the short life of Infocom.  A company that fell into the videogame sphere.  Best known for their text adventure games, including the renowned game Zork.  They started off as a company to keep creative minds together from MIT, and brought forth unique developments including using virtualization for video games.  Due to lack of innovation, combined with its acquisition by Activision, the failure of their database Cornerstone, and  saturating the market with a niche product; the company was closed down in the late 1980's.  With a dedicated fan base in text adventures, Infocom's influence has been felt in some circles to the present day!

TCW Podcast Episode 097 - Revisions and Updates 2   The podcast is four years old!  We celebrate by looking back at past episodes, and revising subjects that Alex has found new information on!  There is, of course, more and new information in regards to Atari.  We also do some speculation into the origin of Scramble, some commentary on what has been going on at Blizzard Entertainment, and some new information in relation to the origins of Galaxian.  We make a note of the earliest known commercial ester egg, some new information on the first Japanese original game creation for the arcade, and wrap up with some more book updates.  We look forward to the countdown to episode 100!   TCW 43 - Personal Gaming Histories: http://podcast.theycreateworlds.com/e/personal-gaming-histories/ Dragon Warrior Commercial: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1qL5_3EhqK8 Dragon Quest I Android: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AmQqcf0ziSI Final Fantasy XIV Shadowbringers Trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4tyuIh12_HU TCW 44 Founding, Syzygy to Atari: http://podcast.theycreateworlds.com/e/founding-syzygy-to-atari/ TCW 45 Atari, Ventures and Acquisitions: http://podcast.theycreateworlds.com/e/atari-ventures-and-acquisitions/ TCW 46 Atari, Ray Kassar and Warner: http://podcast.theycreateworlds.com/e/atari-ray-kassar-and-warner/ TCW 47 Vestiges of Atari: http://podcast.theycreateworlds.com/e/vestiges-of-atari/ TCW 52 The many Faces of Konami: http://podcast.theycreateworlds.com/e/the-many-faces-of-konami/ Astro Fighter Gameplay: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vMBrGXzB-p8 Astro Fighter Cabinet: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n-dICpXIj50 Scramble Gameplay: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QWIUj4R8-10 Defender Arcade Gameplay: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qq_Zvg9KlII TCW 54 Blizzard Vikings and WarCraft: http://podcast.theycreateworlds.com/e/blizzard-vikings-and-warcraft/ TCW 55 Blizzard: Hellfire and The World… Of WarCraft: http://podcast.theycreateworlds.com/e/blizzard-hellfire-and-the-world%e2%80%a6-of-warcraft/ TCW 57 Foundation of the Japanese Video Arcade Game Industry: http://podcast.theycreateworlds.com/e/foundation-of-the-japanese-video-arcade-game-industry/ Galaxian : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XhYVcwhSWjI Space Invaders Cabinet: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DJMr36hLY38 Admiral Yamamoto and the Allied Fleets: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BR0WjZGCNYw TCW 076 A Fairchild Story: http://podcast.theycreateworlds.com/e/a-fairchild-story/ Spitfire Gameplay: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=95guwJJGx8I Spitfire Easter Egg Video (No Sound): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E7fSSbtuYaA Spitfire Easter Egg Video (Sound): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ws-ExrlbmtY TCW 77 Invading Taito Part 1: http://podcast.theycreateworlds.com/e/invading-taito-part-1/ TCW 78 Invading Taito Part 2: http://podcast.theycreateworlds.com/e/invading-taito-part-2/ TCW 92 Citing Apologies: http://podcast.theycreateworlds.com/e/citing-apologies/   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.
