TCW Podcast Episode 079 - The Six Children of EA
We take a closer look at the six launch titles from EA. We cover each in more detail going into the background of the creators, as well as the development of each game. We take a look at how the games were received both commercially, and historically. Today Archon, Pinball Construction Set, and M.U.L.E. are the games that are best remembered from the initial six titles. Worms, Axis Assassin, and Hard Hat Mack are not well remembered today.

TCW Podcast Episode 078 - Invading Taito Part 2
We go into part two of Taito. We start off looking at Space Invaders which is arguably the highest point of success and fame for the company. The company continued on with many notable hits in the following years. They continued to survive despite not having a succession plan with the death of Michael Kogan. The company was hurt by their delay in transitioning to 3d, and a lack of direction in regards to the home market. Taito still lives today as a wholly owned subsidiary of Square-Enix.

TCW Podcast Episode 077 - Invading Taito Part 1
We look back at the history of the company Taito. Started by a Russian who through unique circumstances in World War II managed to grow up, and become educated in Japanese society. The name Taito means "Far East", and the company went through three iterations before it became the icon we know it today. We wrap up part one just before the release of the iconic Space Invaders in 1978.

TCW Podcast Episode 076 - A Fairchild Story
We cover the history of the Fairchild company and their console the Fairchild Channel F. It is a fascinating journey of how a company was thrust into a role where they could get in on the ground floor of the new video game industry. Although through bad experiences in other industries, an epic struggle to ger FCC approval, and observations on the turmoil of the video game industry, Fairchild was defeated. Fairchild's exit from the scene was not so much the initial hurdles they faced, but their lack of will to produce, and market in quantities that would let them gain the market share they needed.

TCW Podcast Episode 075 - Gunning for Light
We look at how shooting peripherals entered the gaming scene. We start with their introduction in arcades, and move all the way up to today. We see the technology change, and how different applications were applied to get interesting effects. With the height of light guns in the 80's and 90's, and their decline in the 2000's, light guns are only seen in the few remaining arcade and fun centers still in operation. In the home they really say their popularity in the 8-bit and to a lesser extent the 16-bit era.

TCW Podcast Episode 074 - The Japanese PC Industry
We cover the Japanese PC industry from the initial pioneers up to the mid 1980's. The early innovators on the PC, while never having many international successes, laid the groundwork for games that would later be seen on the Famicom, and other platforms. It is further interesting to note the people who got their start in the video game industry through computer clubs in college, and by programing at department stores. With the computer industry coming from two sides, hobbyist and professional, they merged together to create an interesting take that in some ways mirrored aspects of the British, and American computer scenes.

TCW Podcast Episode 073 - Adventuring in the Arcade
We look at the British PC Software market, specifically the Arcade Adventure genre. With the popularity of the ZX Spectrum as a home computer, and its hardware limitations lent itself to the development of the Arcade Adventure. With multiple influences the Arcade Adventure enjoyed side scrolling, top down, and isometric gameplay. We also see the start of the career of Tim and Chris Stamper with Sabre Wulf, Knight Lore, and Alien 8. We end looking at the panicle games of the genre with Dizzy, and Head over Heels. Unfortunately as technology advanced the slower paced Arcade Adventure gave way to more action packed gamed allowed by newer systems.

TCW Podcast Episode 072 - The MYSTeries of Brøderbund!
We cover the later years of Brøderbund looking at their "evergreen" products. Print Shop being the first one to really put them on the map. We then look at the series of successes, and challenges that the company faced throughout the 80's and 90's. We then see how the meteoric success of MYST ultimately dead to the downfall of Brøderbund in 1998. Still Brøderbund was a fascinating company which was willing to take risks on some of the influential games, and software that built the PC industry we know today.

The used a unique business model that supported developers, and creators, but did not bring them on as employees. However they did retain staff to assist in polishing up games that showed potential. Brøderbund even started exploring consoles with a few of their games until they decided to transition to evergreen products.

TCW Podcast Episode 070 - Sega VS Nintendo Round 3
The fight heats up with the 16 bit era in the United States. Sega being first to market was able to take control, and dominate the market for a few years. However this short lived victory was bought at a price. With the low margins on consoles Sega was unable to sustain the growth once things started to change in Europe. Nintendo meanwhile was always able to turn a tidy profit even without a controlling market share. Nintendo's control of the handheld market, Japan, and the 8-bit consoles allowed them to have the financial reserve to weather the Sonly PlayStation entering the market. We go over some of the misconceptions regarding Sega of America and Sega of Japan, and show how even Nintendo was swayed by the marketing done by Sega.
