TCW Podcast Episode 193 - Microprose Part 2   In part two of our look at Microprose we focus on the growth of the company with popular games like Gunship, and Sid Meier's Pirates. Wild Bill continued his aggressive push to expand the company moving into the UK market and even the coin-op space. This unfortunately led Sid to step back from the company and become a contractor. Wild Bill took the company public to help cover the costs of missteps but eventually became embroiled in his own troubles with pressure from the board. It was during a time when he was forced to step back from the company, and the release of problematic adventure and role-playing games led the company to be acquired by Spectrum Holobyte.   Silent Service: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qz4shxxdero Gunship DOS: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fCZUc0d8ol8 Gunship C64: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A8bBV7uzbSs Airborne Ranger: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6wEH2c98-Nc Rules of Wooden Ships and Iron Men: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NlT6i1DOeUM Sid Meier's Pirates: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=owSCqgpv9AA How to be a Pirate Captain: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3YFeE1eDlD0 How to be a Pirate Quartermaster: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T0fAznO1wA8 Captain Blood Trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4HmoyQcoBd0 Arcade F15 Strike Eagle: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_7TK56745MM Command HQ: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pXFwn29ZEpQ Rex Nebular and the Cosmic Gender Bender: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OztH7m4wQzQ What Magic is This?

TCW Podcast Episode 192 -Microprose Part 1   In the first part of our look at Microprose, we cover the central characters of Wild Bill Stealey and Sid Meier. The duo came from very different backgrounds that helped inform the creative and business powerhouse. Wild Bill had to grow up at a young age after his father's death. This led to him having to manage the home finances, negotiate out of debt, and learn many of the skills that would help him in his military, and business careers. We have covered some of Sid's history in episode 50, but we have a lot of new information with additional research and Sid's autobiography. We cover Microprose's founding with a bet between the two at a convention in Los Vegas, and Wild Bill pushing to have his dream of playing a video game able to realistically represent what it was like to fly a jet fighter.   TCW 050 - Civilizing Sid Meier: http://podcast.theycreateworlds.com/e/civilizing-sid-meier/ War Games Ending: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s93KC4AGKnY Formula 1 Racing (Atari 800): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0H5NhhmnwBU Hamilton Satisfied: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oAu3_H5ECpw Atari 800 Star Raiders: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L8YdO6PYViw Red Barron Arcade: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M6tbmgml504 Hellcat Ace: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CwYaQS59UGQ Chopper Rescue Atari 800: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rUyebYD5UO0 Floyd of the Jungle: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sKuH6oXD8Pg Wingman: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j5mMwgrqyYk MIG Alley Ace: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1YRAQGMi9uc Solo Flight Atari 800: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6AGR7DkOkyQ F15 Strike Eagle: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=COXuDENwXlI Example of the F15E Strike Eagle in Digital Combat Simulator: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OFDGXcWHYwM   New episodes are 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, published Dec 2019, is available at CRC Press and at major on-line retailers: http://bit.ly/TCWBOOK1     Intro Music: Josh Woodward - Airplane Mode -  Music - "Airplane Mode" by Josh Woodward.

TCW Podcast Episode 191 - SEGA and CSK Part  2   In part two of our look at SEGA and CSK we look closely at the circumstances that lead to Isao Okawa taking direct control as CEO of SEGA. We also take a new look at the circumstances that lead to the financial difficulties with SEGA in lending money inside the company. We have a lot of new insights here behind the problems with the Dreamcast, how Okawa wanted to take CSK and SEGA more network focused, and some of the safeties he put in place in case his ambitions failed. Ultimately with Okawa's passing CSK wanted to go in a more financial services direction, and ended up selling their stake in SEGA to Sammy. Sammy then used this to buy out the rest of SEGA a year later.   TCW 127 - Dreams of SEGA: http://podcast.theycreateworlds.com/e/dreams-of-sega/ Dreamcast Commercials: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JL5-sx2A0-M Dreamcast News Just Before Release: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SqocFElidKI Dreamcast Launch: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gT9gseRFzqA Japan Hidekazu Yukawa Commercials: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B_nK7j4G6fQ   New episodes are 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, published Dec 2019, is available at CRC Press and at major on-line retailers: http://bit.ly/TCWBOOK1     Intro Music: Josh Woodward - Airplane Mode -  Music - "Airplane Mode" by Josh Woodward.

TCW Podcast Episode 190 - SEGA and CSK Part 1   In this first of a two-part episode about SEGA and CSK, we look at the origin of CSK, and the major players involved. Most notably Isao Okawa who had a history of making bold moves to pivot CSK during uncertain times. SEGA was in the hands of Hayao Nakayama who got Okawa to buy the company from Gulf and Western. Nakayama then worked for many years to transition the corporate structure from a US one to a more traditional Japanese structure. This allowed SEGA to become a public company in Japan. We have a lot more information looking from the CSK Corporation side of things, and in part two look at Okawa taking over SEGA and trying to pivot again as he battled a terminal illness.   How Products are Priced: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KYqvqScg_j8 Pricing Effect - Why a Higher Price Rag Makes Wine Taste Better: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wb3PsQFB3fU Complete Guide to Business Cards in Japan: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kh0qYdDl4IE   They Create Worlds SEGA Episodes   TCW 005 - The Untold History of SEGA: http://podcast.theycreateworlds.com/e/the-untold-history-of-sega/ TCW 033 - The Saga of SEGA: http://podcast.theycreateworlds.com/e/the-saga-of-sega/ TCW 068 - SEGA VS Nintendo Round 1: http://podcast.theycreateworlds.com/e/sega-vs-nintendo-round-1/ TCW 069 - SEGA VS Nintendo Round 2: http://podcast.theycreateworlds.com/e/sega-vs-nintendo-round-2/ TCW 070 - SEGA VS Nintendo Round 3: http://podcast.theycreateworlds.com/e/sega-vs-nintendo-round-3/ TCW 127 - Dreams of Sega: http://podcast.theycreateworlds.com/e/dreams-of-sega/ TCW 176 - The SEGA Technical Insitute: http://podcast.theycreateworlds.com/e/the-sega-technical-institute/     New episodes are 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, published Dec 2019, is available at CRC Press and at major on-line retailers: http://bit.ly/TCWBOOK1     Intro Music: Josh Woodward - Airplane Mode -  Music - "Airplane Mode" by Josh Woodward.

TCW Podcast Episode 189 - The Simulations of Will Wright   In part two we look at the Sim craze with the release of Sim Earth, Sim Ant, and others. It was Sim Ant in combination with the loss of Will Wright's home in the Oakland firestorm of 1991 that laid the groundwork for what would become The Sims. The game went through many iterations, and would not see fruition until the acquisition of Maxis by Electronic Arts. The game became a phenomenal success and was as big a hit, if not bigger, than Sim City. Will Wright continued with the creation of the game Spore which, while heavily hyped, was a very shallow amalgamation of five different games. Will Wright is still trying to make games based on systems, but as of yet none have reached the impact of Sim City or The Sims.   Gaia Hypothesis - James Lovelock: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GIFRg2skuDI Sim Earth (SNES): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_t_foiU3fHo Sim Earth (PC): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AOtbazBWijw SimAnt Gameplay: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xTgrr1PSBaE E.O.

TCW Podcast Episode 188 - Will Wright's Sim City   We look at the life of game designer Will Wright who developed the hit game Sim City. Wright was, and is a very talented individual with a deep passion for learning. As a child, he was not into video games, and only his interest in robotics led him to investigate computers more. From there he was enamored with the original Flight Simulator and the possibilities it promised. Though it was not until his exposure to Conway's Game of Life that he really took an interest in programming.  This led to his development of Raid on Bungling Bay, and from the tools used to make that game, he found more fun in creating a city simulator he call microtopolis. This simulation game would eventually become what we know as Sim City!   Solaris by Stanisław Lem: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solaris_(novel) What is Montessori in 18 Minutes: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ljuw3grZ11Q Victor Tugelbend: https://discworld.fandom.com/wiki/Victor_Tugelbend The Cannonball Run: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j2hGFN8NlLQ Apple II Flight Simulator: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wHdW9RA6skQ Raster Blaster: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B4n5elO-LLs Play Game of Life: https://playgameoflife.com/ Documentary on Game of Life: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kk2MH9O4pXY Memorable Moments in the Wild Kingdom: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zbJXzwURlRw C64 Raid on Bungling Bay: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-CjNj1gfj0I NES Raid of Bungling Bay: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YZudVNf7hN0 TCW 084 - Time Shared: http://podcast.theycreateworlds.com/e/time-shared/ Servo Basic Concepts: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gzo9m0tMD0A Servomechanism: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Servomechanism Forester's Urban Dynamics and Cities as Systems: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yYPO4qFjJ_E Little Computer People: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QrltIjcCqLc Amiga Sim City: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I2Ji4qgsWuA Intellivision Utopia: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h3__gYnnulw SNES Sim City Retrospective: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tSjqjR0XeKc   New episodes are 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, published Dec 2019, is available at CRC Press and at major online retailers: http://bit.ly/TCWBOOK1   Intro Music: Josh Woodward - Airplane Mode -  Music - "Airplane Mode" by Josh Woodward.

TCW Podcast Episode 187 - Atari's Sinking Ship   In part two of our look at Atari and the reasons behind the crash of the mid-1980 we see how Atari's handling of the excess product led to its downfall. The idea that they could treat this like any other overstock of products and push through did not consider the consumer's lack of knowledge. Together with the massive price reduction in the hardware for not just the VCS, but also the 5200 further eroded consumer confidence and understanding. By the time Atari started taking the drastic measure they needed to right the company they were sold by Warner because Warner could not afford the depression in stock price. Though logistics may not be the most exciting topic. It really is the core of what lead to the crash, and how Atari got into and failed to manage it speaks volumes about what future companies would need to do in order to survive.   ET Commercial Christmas: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K7LwjROqsQw TCW 133 - Rolling Dice with the Parker Brothers: http://podcast.theycreateworlds.com/e/rolling-dice-with-the-parker-brothers/ 2600 Pitfall: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pslbO6Fddhw Skeet Shoot: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_UWJFOUBxTo   New episodes are 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, published Dec 2019, is available at CRC Press and at major on-line retailers: http://bit.ly/TCWBOOK1     Intro Music: Josh Woodward - Airplane Mode -  Music - "Airplane Mode" by Josh Woodward.

TCW Podcast Episode 186 - Atari's Distribution Nightmare   In this first part deep dive at the fall of Atari and the video game industry, we look closely at the distribution nightmare and the factors forming it. There is a lot of new information here, and we drill down deep on the factors that led to the early 80's video game crash. Though many wish to blame ET, or bad games causing the crash, in reality, it really was an unsustainable distribution problem that some people saw coming, but a variety of factors was not dealt with. Join us in this part one of learning the truth, at least for what we know now, cause of the great video game crash!   Lefty Sells an 8: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rfelvI_ikf4 Fleetwood Mac Rumors: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bLfcwDZ5GzQ&list=PL6ogdCG3tAWjN3nOVWjA6DCwYYKAMk5-f     New episodes are 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, published Dec 2019, is available at CRC Press and at major on-line retailers: http://bit.ly/TCWBOOK1     Intro Music: Josh Woodward - Airplane Mode -  Music - "Airplane Mode" by Josh Woodward.

TCW Podcast Episode 185 - A Very Naughty Dog Pt 2   In our continuing look at Naughty Dog, we examine the continuing development of Crash Bandicoot and the Jax and Dexter series. After Sony's acquisition of Naughty Dog, and during the development of Jak 2, Andy and Jason decided to part ways with the company to focus more on their personal lives. They did help in training people to take their place. These new people at the helm led to the creation of Naughty Dog's most famous franchises. Uncharted and The Last of Us. Games that really pushed forward what is possible for storytelling in video games.   Polygon Man: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polygon_Man Sony E3 1996: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GHTNTuiOt7s 1984 Macintosh Commercial: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2zfqw8nhUwA Crash Bandicoot Nintendo Commercial: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mTi5EaocGaY All Crash Bandicoot Commercial: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bLdQczq3NMM Crash Bandicoot PSX: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xK-h4M4Aetg Crash Bandicoot Japanese Commercials: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RS3rpyTqoUs Crash Bandicoot Japanese VS America: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qqL2XffOBA0 Crash Bandicoot 2: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bmnq7yedAzI Crash Bandicoot Warped: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HG-NRnGp3RA Crash Team Racing: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QQDWEIiKN6E Jax and Daxter: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9lpq3zVXs9A Michael Jordan Chaos in the Windy City: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gJcIjxfFKdA Legacy of Kain Overview: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ysxs_oErmWo Jak 3: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PLIWS4QDc6Q Uncharted Drake's Fortune: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h0XhMMjFjBU Gears of War PC: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yecvln9dTOI&t=72s Kill Switch: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i1zW5X0CwTs ICO: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tZC_FzeRz4Y Uncharted 2 Among Thieves: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0EhpxpPeTKE Uncharted 2 Train Fight: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LXaOguzFHTE DAVID BENIOFF on City of Thieves: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9P_QI0FoTnE John Hartigan - Sin City: https://sincity.fandom.com/wiki/John_Hartigan Intro to The Last of Us: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BC_HB7wDYg8 Quark about Humans: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-D2SHNqkjbY   New episodes are 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, published Dec 2019, is available at CRC Press and at major on-line retailers: http://bit.ly/TCWBOOK1   Intro Music: Josh Woodward - Airplane Mode -  Music - "Airplane Mode" by Josh Woodward.

TCW Podcast Episode 184 - A Very Naughty Dog Pt 1   Before "The Last of Us" what eventually became Naughty Dog was founded by two teens Andy Gavin, and Jason Rubin. They were drawn into the uncharted waters of computers by making their first published game Ski Crazed. From there they put on the rings of power to become the youngest game developers for EA releasing a game to outdo Ultima on the Sega Genesis. But EA pulled a thieving move and denied them a reprint of the ambitious game. The dream of them being game developers would have died there had it not been for a new warrior in the console market to challenge them to make a game for the 3DO. With that glorious victory, they went to Hollywood and found that they could get universal recognition by getting Sony to use a Bandicoot to crash onto the world stage.   Internet Archive Byte Magazine: https://archive.org/details/byte-magazine?tab=collection How to use a Drawing Tablet: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sb8FtNJOGS4 Ski Crazed: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fVuE_NegOdg Ski Crazed Box Art and Manual: https://mirrors.apple2.org.za/ftp.apple.asimov.net/documentation/applications/misc/Ski%20Crazed%20manual.pdf Dream Zone: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xCX5pMzyX8A Keef the Thief: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pinzMVl4Tx0 Rings of Power Genesis: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8fjTHAd2wYs (Explicit) 1994 Wolf - Werewolf Transformation: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jzH9gsafQpo Way of the Warrior: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7q_xRzWTI4E 7th Guest: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=45Z-Q5KVTyI&pp=ygUJN3RoIGd1ZXN0 Crash Bandicoot: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xK-h4M4Aetg   New episodes are 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, published Dec 2019, is available at CRC Press and at major on-line retailers: http://bit.ly/TCWBOOK1     Intro Music: Josh Woodward - Airplane Mode -  Music - "Airplane Mode" by Josh Woodward.
