TCW Podcast Episode 167 - Activision and Kotick Part 1
In part one of our look at Activision and Bobby Kotick we look at the early life, and history of the man. We see from an early age how business was always a driving factor in his life. Furthermore, we see some of his early companies and challenges as he transitioned into the technology field. With the help of influential businessman Steve Wynn, Bobby Kotick was able to start a software company. Wynn further helped in financing the eventual buy-in of Mediagenic when the company was floated as a cheap way to get into the game market by Nintendo. We finish by looking at how Kotick and others took control of Mediagenic and renamed it Activision. With the need to file for bankruptcy Kotick has the long task of building up the company from scratch. Promising investors to at least break even over the next four to five years.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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?

We want to thank everyone for helping us to reach 100,000 downloads of the podcast! We started in September 2015 and are amazed at the love & support we have received. To celebrate, we are looking at the list of the SPA's highest sellers of computer software in the 1980s. We start off in part one looking at the three 500k sellers and then move on to the 250k sellers. We get a view of the computer software market during this time, and have a little fun too!

TCW Podcast Episode 159 - International Adventure
In this episode, we look at the computer game company 'Adventure International' which is one of the first companies to put out adventure games on early home computers. Founded by Scott Adams, no not THAT Scott Adams, and his ex-wife Alexis. The company had a short lifespan of less than a decade. We look at the life of Adams, and how his love of puzzles and games turned into a small business that unfortunately ended in the mid-1980s

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!
