TCW Podcast Episode 166 - Centuri   We look at the rebirth of Allied Leisure under new management and funding.  The company found a niche importing Japanese games from lesser known companies.  They also continued to leverage licensing to do cocktail cabinet styles of popular games.  Most notably the big four games that made the company rocket to the top were: Eagle, Phoenix, Pleiads, and Vanguard.  Later on the company would join into a partnership with Konami to import their games.  With Japanese companies opening their own manufacturing in the states the deal with Konami ended.  That combined with other issues lead to Centuri going out of business a few years later.   Eagle: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_zuq0ptnKRw Moon Cresta: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dl5stQgPGYQ Phoenix: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-eUUTZhkb1Y Pleiads: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m5YEx4-3TBo Vanguard Cabinet: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=plZd5MzIELI Vanguard Gameplay: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4MwVWsHBm5g The Pit: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mTIjYc-ZH-A Tunnel Hunt: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l6HqxB8eQ_w Track and Field: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ozcE8qzTdHo   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 165 - Allied Leisure   We look at the origins of the coin-op company Allied Leisure! The company came from a coin-op veteran who wanted to help his son establish a company he could call his own. Despite some notable successes Allied Leisure was plagued with quality issues in production. They made some unique games in coin-op with F-114, their pong clone, and pinball with cocktail cabinets. Unfortunately many setbacks including a fire, the death of  Robert Braun, the stigma of the company being known as Allied Looser, and the near liquidation of the company when the bankruptcy was declared. Allied Leisure had a fascinating history and would be reborn as Centuri when David Braun sold the company.   Slot Cars in the 60's: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zFQWsUABpPk Monkey Bizz Flyer: https://flyers.arcade-museum.com/?page=flyer&db=arcadedb&id=1088&image=1 Picture of Unscramble: http://www.pinrepair.com/arcade/unscram.htm Wild Cycle Cabinet Unboxing and Tour: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xhInZ6cUSL0 Wild Cycle Gameplay: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fij6jpYb1T0 Sonic Fighter: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pQ8AAxGOvHQ Spoolsville: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=esLVT3A9Bfg Sea Hunt Cabinet: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QSzLZ6BQJBs&t=1s Sea Hunt Gameplay: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y5fkypjoKts Paddle Battle Pictures: https://www.arcade-museum.com/game_detail.php?game_id=8963 Pictures of Tennis Tourney: https://www.arcade-museum.com/game_detail.php?game_id=10072 Ethan Johnson's Article History of How We Play: https://thehistoryofhowweplay.wordpress.com/2017/12/31/the-mysteries-of-2017/ Zap Pictures: https://www.arcade-museum.com/game_detail.php?game_id=10666 Super Shifter: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G9sP-cq8eCA F114: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QgJ1PgGLlqQ Street Burners (Cabinet pictures and short video): https://www.arcade-museum.com/game_detail.php?game_id=9801 Pinball Dyn-O'-Mite: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wXmGJqQrIsM Good Times Dyn-O'-Mite: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b5rKZs6HnB4 Name of the Game Article: http://allincolorforaquarter.blogspot.com/2012/09/allied-leisures-name-of-game-home-video.html Name of the Game Console Overview: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HbHIQA2yjcc Name of the Game Console cleanup and Demo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6cPc-ZHJibs The Entertainer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HKW2stl6Cfg Take Five: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UGBKjuXpKXA Star Shooter Cocktail Pinball: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Mm3DE07Jm8     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 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 164 - Fallout   History. History is always changing. Greek historians recorded tales in scrolls, and simple books. Historians of the modern era use interviews, micro-film, and court documents to decipher history. In this episode Alex and Jeffrey look at the Fallout of all that historical work. How they can shape and mold it into the continuing narrative of the video game industry. Fallout almost was not a thing and possibly could not be made today. The game faced many challenges in its creation, but ended up being a very influential work affecting not just video games but role playing games as a whole.   Wasteland 1 DOS: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v17LQ7Ukrsk GURPS Explained: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2ZMLhphjB-g GURPS Lite: http://www.sjgames.com/gurps/lite/ Wiz-War: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XP5vZQJG1Vo Isometric VS Oblique: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8tAXW_xn6rU Oblique VS Isometric Drawings: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w503xvjt7mA Short Video of Knight Demo: https://youtu.be/T2OxO-4YLRk?t=904 Rex and Bobby Quest: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yzms-rfYdKk Crusader No Remorse: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rUnvNTvHMnQ Mad Max Trailer 1979: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=caHnaRq8Qlg Mad Max 2 The Road Warrior 1981: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UlwtiOyaoo0 Mad Max 3 Beyond the Thunderdome 1985: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9JKZKjFjHDM The Omega Man 1979: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bWB6Ufh4O98 A Boy and his Dog: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mTck2RnpPy4 The Day After Reaction: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aG-e52yAxfs The Day After Movie: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Iyy9n8r16hs Intro Fallout 1: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=geLiEiAiQJA Fallout Endings: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iwXA_fIB2Ro   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 163 - California Pacific   We look at the company California Pacific. Founded by Al Remmers the company played a large role in launching the careers of Bill Budge and Richard Garriott. Al Remmers was in a unique position as a publisher. He had contacts with retailers spanning the entire country. In a way California Pacific was both one of the first distributors and used the EA model of programmers as rock stars. Promoting the games made by talented people, and promoting the individuals themselves. Unfortunately California Pacific had a too high royalty to those same programmers, and once dedicated distribution companies started to take over business declined. Al Remmers struggled with delegation, and unfortunately he developed a drug addiction.  Though not well known today California Pacific did play a vital role during a crucial stage of the computer video game industry.   A little Energon: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sy_6yo04Hjc Overview of the S100 BUS: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kVblKM9bJxA Super Invader/Apple Invader: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NNSFD7mC-Oo Bill Budge's Trilogy of Games: https://archive.org/details/wozaday_Bill_Budge_Trilogy Picture of the packaging: https://web.archive.org/web/20220530014930/https://www.ebay.com/itm/203822308767 Bill Budge's Space Album: https://archive.org/details/wozaday_Bill_Budge_Space_Album Akalabeth: https://archive.org/details/Akalabeth_1980_California_Pacific_Computer World Od Doom Akalabeth Packaging: https://www.worthpoint.com/worthopedia/apple-ii-akalabeth-world-doom-1889507320 Who is Lord British: http://www.softalkapple.com/more_to_the_story/remember-when-softalk-asked-who-lord-british Ultima 1: https://archive.org/details/Ultima_I_1981_California_Pacific_Computer   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 162 - Spinnaker Software   Often we laugh at educational games and software.  We tend to view the products as jokes and something that cannot fully succeed.  In our look at Spinnaker Software, we learn that there is more to it.  The company was short-lived but was founded by people with a deep passion for technology and gaming. They released games, and software that helped to show that there is more one can do with a computer than just drills.  If one of them went on to become a major World Of Warcraft raid leader it can't all be bad right?   Facemaker: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=seh6DyUPV8w Story Machine: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YpbrcpfVwPY Snooper Troops: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MJOFAPPfZ2I Alphabet Zoo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X1m4Lt-7cY8 Adventure Creator: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nb_7-rlocKo Rendezvous with Rama: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4VMbPzf_pq8 Fahrenheit 451: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vnET12whCYs Dragonworld: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ens1xbetX88 Amazon: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MTojZBzyFrI Shadowkeep: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=igXOcweWz_M Below the Roots: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pI87UAC3JzQ WindowWorks: https://winworldpc.com/product/pfs-windowworks/2x   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 158 - Computer Space   Computer space is a game steeped in mystery and myth.  The game is a reimagining of Space War.  Developed through a partnership between Nutting Associates and Syzygy, Computer Space went on to have modest success.  The game is viewed as having little to no impact.  In this episode, we explore how Computer Space had much more influence.  The game had a lot of tangible impact with the expansion of Aladdin's Castle.  Computer Space also had a great run in Ithaca, NY.  Furthermore, it had the first radio advertisement for an arcade video game!   TCW 022 - The Galaxy Game: http://podcast.theycreateworlds.com/e/the-galaxy-game/ WORLDLY WEDNESDAYS: A TIMELINE OF COMPUTER SPACE: https://videogamehistorian.wordpress.com/2021/05/12/worldly-wednesdays-a-timeline-of-computer-space/ TCW 044 - Founding, Syzygy to Atari: http://podcast.theycreateworlds.com/e/founding-syzygy-to-atari/ The History of How We Play: https://thehistoryofhowweplay.wordpress.com/2021/11/29/why-computer-space-was-a-success/ TCW 084 - Time Shared: http://podcast.theycreateworlds.com/e/time-shared/ TCW 034 - The Nutting Associates: http://podcast.theycreateworlds.com/e/the-nutting-associates/ Computer Space Cabinet: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_Space#/media/File:Nutting_ComputerSpace-Blue.JPG Video of Computer Space: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3D9_icmvQvc Computer Space Gameplay: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b3BQsCCwo8w   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 157- Final Fantasy's Tale   We look at a game franchise that spans fifteen titles and is still growing strong! Final Fantasy has a deep history with many influences and creative talent coming together to create a game of somber mystery and wonder. Final Fantasy had themes drawn from Conan the Barbarian, Elric of Melniboné,  rock music, and the art of Toshitaka Amano. With the help of the programming talents of Nasir Gebelli, the game was able to do things that even Dragon Quest, released a year earlier, was unable to accomplish. The game was released with four hundred thousand copies in Japan and met with modest success leading to the development of further titles.
