Hello Big Blue

TCW Podcast Episode 096 - Hello Big Blue   We look at Big Blue and their continuing development of computers in both business, and the home.  We see how IBM had to deal with the eye of the government still looking at them for monopolistic practices.  Eventually IBM found out they needed to enter the micro-computer market.  They spun off a group that had a mandate to get a computer together in a year.  However because of this it led to the rise of the PC clones.  Compaq, for instance,  computers started off with a laptop computer clone of the IBM PC.  Later on IBM would try to dominate the market with new standards, that ultimately led to IBM leaving the personal computer field.   IBM 360 Promotional Film: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V4kyTg9Cw8g IBM 360 Control Program Overview: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=378S5Owi-BI Compaq 110 Laptop: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=em-oE8BCu-0 Compaq Computer Laptop: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2YO-BCqPqs4 PC JR Overview and Review: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Whp7XCpU4L0 A brief history of PC BUSes : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DEiRZWBBwPI LGR Tales - The history of OS/2: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wQdK9owqVd0 OS/2 WARP 4 Tour and Rating: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uiLT5UxbnVw   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.

Epyx not Epic

TCW Podcast Episode 094 - Epyx not Epic   This is an epic story about Epyx.  But don't confuse it with Epic!  We look at the computer game company, and the many bits of software that had influences at the dawn of home computing.  Everything from the first RPGs to action games that are remembered fondly, especially in Europe.   Not to mention the worldwide appeal of the Games series featuring Olympic events.  Sadly the company lost sight of its goals with management changes, and was gone by the early 90's.  However employees of Epyx continued to influence the video game industry for many years to come.   Starfleet Orion Manual: https://archive.org/details/Starfleet_Orion_1979_Automated_Simulations Invasion Orion Manual: https://archive.org/details/Invasion_Orion_1979_Automated_Simulations DunDraCon Website: https://www.dundracon.com/ Temple of Apshai TRS 80: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HiMtY5BxdM0 The Datestones of Ryn: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7BxkFETqcEA Crush Crumble and Chomp: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OiTFvwBllZo TCW 079 - The Six Children of EA: http://podcast.theycreateworlds.com/e/the-six-children-of-ea/ Dragonriders of Pern: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZqIj8YWsWOE Pitstop: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zR-ELIpaxRw Jumpman: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yrsZ1bDy4Dg Atari 2600 Starpath Supercharger: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zsl65fKYsvk Impossible Mission: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ivHFP3dJAkM Krusty Burger Olympics: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xVQkOc73uJA EPYX Sumer Games 1984: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_zDwjctkF5w EPYX California Games: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mSp8XHpEKzw Atari Lynx Overview: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fdp4yn1B8x8   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 forthcoming book will be released through CRC Press!   Intro Music: Josh Woodward - Airplane Mode -  Music - "Airplane Mode" by Josh Woodward.

Books-B-Ware

TCW Podcast Episode 093 - Books-B-Ware   We look at what was largely a footnote in video game history.  However it is notable as an early attempt at the integration of traditional media and the computer revolution.  There are parallels between bookware and the Siliwood era that came after.  Many of the games were stifled by the limitations in hardware at the time.  Still there are some notable collaborations between programmers and writers that provide an interesting take on what was to come.   The Digital Antiquarian - Bookware: https://www.filfre.net/2013/09/bookware/ The Hobbit Text Adventure: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0WJW-xB4mwg HGTTG Babel fish Puzzle: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hf_2faXuxEo Ford puts Babel fish in Arthur's ear: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iuumnjJWFO4 HGTTG Text Adventure Game 30th Anniversary: https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/articles/1g84m0sXpnNCv84GpN2PLZG/the-game-30th-anniversary-edition HGTTG Walkthroughs: https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/pc/564459-the-hitchhikers-guide-to-the-galaxy-1984/faqs Star Raiders Atari 8-bit: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3_VDM8nC9sM Mind wheel: on Apple II: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ODKy8-c-If8 Rendezvous with Rama: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4VMbPzf_pq8 Fahrenheit 451: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vnET12whCYs EA Amnesia: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dl5lJSwF890   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 forthcoming book will be released through CRC Press!   Intro Music: Josh Woodward - Airplane Mode -  Music - "Airplane Mode" by Josh Woodward.

Bally: The Road to Fitness

TCW Podcast Episode 091 - Bally: The Road to Fitness   In our continuing look at Bally we see the shifting landscape ad they evolve and develop gambling machines.  This is not to mean that pinball was neglected.  Bally, with an eye to innovation and technology, introduced some of the first sold state pinball machines!  They were also, through some luck, brought in with licensing deals with The Who, and Elton John.  This led to some of the most popular pinball machines in the post WWII era.   We did have to see the departure of Bill O'Donnell from Bally because his ties to organized crime were deemed too great to allow Bally to get a gambling license in Atlantic City.  With Bally under new management it then started diversifying, buy buying up various venues.  These included, Six Flags, a fitness center, and others.  However with a lot of properties not turning a profit, and being tricked into  buying more as a defensive we move against a ploy employed by Donald Trump, Bally was stretched too thin to really survive.   German Wall Machine , Rotamint Luxus , 1957: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bzNhWxDdyRM WONDERS , HONEST JOE , Allwin Slot Machine: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f1p0Bw1hv5Q SMB3 Picture House: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VfH9_zWxRwk TCW 034 - The Nutting Associates: http://podcast.theycreateworlds.com/e/the-nutting-associates/ The Who & Elton John - Pinball Wizard (Tommy 1975): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DthtDjhqVOU Abbot and Costello Who's On First: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kTcRRaXV-fg&t Bally Pinball Wizard Machine: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kXVg88WqMIo Captain Fantastic Pinball: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O1DsyF6XYvM https://sternpinball.com/ Bally Freedom: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sk0LroLsaLA Bally Night Rider: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VYEY090OPG4 Bally EVEL KNIEVEL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BljsG0dGPJw Simpsons "He's OK folks!": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iE7zBMjubqw Bally 8-Ball: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0s1O4ScUx6c Bally Playboy: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bWP70dq6XN0 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-1/ Rampage: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rm6pkWRoJiw   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 forthcoming book will be released through CRC Press!   Intro Music: Josh Woodward - Airplane Mode -  Music - "Airplane Mode" by Josh Woodward.

Lion and Bally Manufacturing

TCW Podcast Episode 090 - Lion and Bally Manufacturing   What will they do in '32? Ballyhoo! We examine the origins of the Bally Manufacturing Company, makers of pinball and slot machines and operators of fitness centers. While Bally rarely ever created video games under its own name, the company was a domineering force in the coin-operated amusement and gambling spaces and through its subsidiaries nurtured a diverse array of talent that introduced many video game innovations. In this first part, we chart the early years of the company from its start as a printing company subsidiary to the formation of a new Bally out of the ashes of the original in the 1960s by Bill O'Donnell.   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/ Punch Board example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fvaCjRM_oJE&t=117s Gottlieb Baffle Ball: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p1jETFi-f_c Ballyhoo Pinball: https://youtu.be/eGAw4oF5bWA?t=84 Goofy: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MZY8OLp5OLA Airway: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W1s1Gr-Nh8o Rocket: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KPmGtEcjV9M Simpson's Keep Gaming: https://youtu.be/TvXUkE_Xoe4?t=94 1960's Bally Roller Derby Bingo Machine: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cB7RZyfO1J0 More Bally Roller Derby Bingo and History: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mfuF4jb-Cqc Bally Malibu Beach Bingo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HwaS16HxGJw Money Honey Slot Machine: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xvcTmmCdSi4   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 forthcoming book will be released through CRC Press!   Intro Music: Josh Woodward - Airplane Mode -  Music - "Airplane Mode" by Josh Woodward.

The Dawn of Computers and Gaming

TCW Podcast Episode 089 - The Dawn of Computers and Gaming   We look at the dawn of computers.  Not just people; but analog, electronic, and digital computers!  We look at how the early games on the computer were not so much games as demonstration programs or simple AI to play games like tic-tac-toe, NIM, checkers, and, of course, chess.  We look at how the work done during WWII around RADAR played a role in how both computers and computer games developed.  Next we look at some of the fear in the popular psyche of computers and AI as depicted in movies.  We finish looking at what is considered the first video games.    Hidden Figures Trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5wfrDhgUMGI Analog VS Digital Electronics: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WxJKXGugfh8 The Arithmetic Logic Unit (ALU): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1I5ZMmrOfnA How RADAR Works: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A3uIXt1V7YY RADAR Introductory Video (Military?): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4rIHdcwlvlk History of RADAR: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MeGBXQLu8pQ An Electromechanical Clock: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1it3kjIgocc Last working analog graphics machine: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0wxc3mKqKTk Colossus: The Forbin Project Trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kyOEwiQhzMI Colossus: The Forbin Project Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colossus:_The_Forbin_Project War Games "Shall we play a game?": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-1F7vaNP9w0 The Turing Test: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3wLqsRLvV-c Demo of Turochamp Code: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yvanV9B6EBs Carnegie Mellon University Management Game: https://www.cmu.edu/tepper/programs/mba/curriculum/capstones/management-game.html Tennis for Two: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6PG2mdU_i8k   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 forthcoming book will be released through CRC Press!   Intro Music: Josh Woodward - Airplane Mode -  Music - "Airplane Mode" by Josh Woodward.

Virtual History

TCW Podcast Episode 087 - Virtual History   And now we discuss at the technology that has been just a few months away from revolutionizing video games for the past thirty years, virtual reality. While a hot topic again due to the emergence of the Occulus Rift and the PS4 VR, virtual reality has been a Holy Grail of computer graphics research since the early 1960s. We examine the origins of VR at the University of Utah and its refinement at Atari and VPL Labs before looking at several attempts to bring VR into the mainstream in the early 1990s. We end with a quick look at the state of VR today.   Master Collector of View Master: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1JxAv3-QOzc Morton Heilig's Sensorama (Interview): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vSINEBZNCks Legend of the Sword of Damocles: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WNSh519GxvY Sword of Damocles Headset Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8OwlABr1o-g Sword of Damocles Headset With Explanation: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7vuGXWnYZpA Lecture from 1996 on Sword of Damocles Headset: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y2AIDHjylMI TCW 046 Atari, Ray Kassar, and Warner: http://podcast.theycreateworlds.com/e/atari-ray-kassar-and-warner/ Moon Dust Commodore 64: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mzVIEnTfclY Scientific American Interview Jaron Lanier: https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/interview-with-jaron-lani/ AVGN Zelda II Power Glove: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9ab48nahZzo The Wizard - Power Glove: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Esx7xgXl5g The Untold Story Of VR On The Sega Genesis: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3UN_pN9ZU8Y Sega VR at CES: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yd98RGxad0U Dactyl Nightmare Gameplay and Unit: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pbOGV8-lyno Oculus Rift Polygon Nightmare: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qqfpt2hoVrU Discovery Channel Battletech Center: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jdJA5C_Po4U&t=4s Polygon Disney Quest VR Article:https://www.polygon.com/features/2018/10/18/17888722/disneyquest-disney-vr-closed Zone Hunter Promo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8STASuTKDag Buggy Ball VR on a game show: https://youtu.be/NkQCWiYB3Wc?t=475 John Carmack Interview on Oculus Rift: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UyuMVazQPos Tetris Effect Launch Trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PFVL6t8IHE8 Real Bomb Squad plays Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BYunaBkn9Ng   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 forthcoming book will be released through CRC Press!   Intro Music: Josh Woodward - Airplane Mode -  Music - "Airplane Mode" by Josh Woodward.
