Grand Theft Auto 1

Wednesday Dec 01, 2021

TCW Podcast Episode 151 - Grand Theft Auto 1

We start our look at the legendary game series Grand Theft Auto. A game series that had many influences that came out of the British PC market. The game may not have seen the light of day if it was not for developers and executives championing the game to BMG Interactive. With the help of a PR campaign to stir up false controversy that lead to a speech denouncing the game to the House of Lords, the game launched to modest success! Though the best is yet to come as Rockstar gears up to release Grand Theft Auto 2 and 3!

Gottlieb Part 2

Monday Nov 15, 2021

TCW Podcast Episode 150 - Gottlieb Part 2

In part two we look at the further development of Gottlieb as a coin-op company, and how they established themselves during the 50s through the 70's. Eventually acquired by Columbia Pictures. Gottlieb would start making small steps into the video game space. Though many inside the company still viewed themselves as a pinball company, the shrinking pinball market necessitated a change. When Columbia was purchased by Coca-Cola the shift into video games was made more of a priority. One of the notable hits of this time was the game Q*bert. A character that would even get a short run cartoon. Unfortunately with other failures in the video game space, and the collapse of the industry as a whole Gottlieb ceased to be in the mid 80's.

Gottlieb Part 1

Monday Nov 01, 2021

TCW Podcast Episode 149 - Gottlieb Part 1

We look at the company Gottlieb which was a major coin-op company founding during the roaring twenties, and rising to prominence in the great depression, and post war era. The company is most well known for pinball, and the many contributions to making it more than a gabling device. We follow the rise of the company up until the 1950s. Though not quite at the video game era yet, the background of the company does help dictate and shape how Gottlieb made its mark in video game history.

The Mysteries of Imagic

Friday Oct 15, 2021

TCW Podcast Episode 148 - The Mysteries of Imagic

We look at the company Imagic. This company only lasted a few short years during the lead up to, and through the crash. The company is notable for innovative packaging, and creating games that pushed the graphical fidelity of the Atari VCS to new levels! They were also one of the first companies to use graphics on a computer to then be translated to code on a console. A feat famously used by Rare in the creation of Donkey Kong Country. Unfortunately through a lot of bad luck Imagic was unable to go public due to the Time Warner earnings report two days prior. This lead to the company's downfall.

TCW Podcast Episode 147 - Others in the Field Too

We look at the contributions of other in the field chronicling video game history, and trying to write perspectives on what we know at the time. To start we look at Gaming Alexandria which has become one of the major communities dedicated to preserving video game history, and has many contributors who work on a myriad of projects. We look at the work Ethan has put in between court cases, blogging, and as a consultant on "Arcade Dreams". We look at the work done by Kate Willært of "A Critical Hit!" Her work consists of blogs, videos, and twitter threads! She did fantastic research into the first Easter Egg in video games, women characters in games, and if working on more interesting projects. Finally we look at academia, and what they are doing in relation to Video Game History!

TCW Podcast Episode 145 - Revisions and Updates 3

Our sixth year anniversary! In this episode we look back at the podcast and correct some of the errors that were made in the past. First we explore the company Fun Games which was sued by Atari for making clones of Atari products using stolen equipment. The source and story of this is better told with new information that has come to light. Other new information includes the discovery that the 100 yen coin shortage in Japan was real! The circumstances around the shortage is a lot more complicated. The final major item was discovering the first game sold on a micro computer. This particular game was published as a book, and not on tape or magnetic media making it unique for the first game of this type.

Ascension into the Black Gate

Sunday Aug 15, 2021

TCW Podcast Episode 144 - Ascension into the Black Gate

In our final part looking at the history of the Ultima series we start off looking at Ultima VII. This game is considered by many to be the pinnacle of the series. The game combines story elements with a massive world to create a truly unique experience. The game is followed by two major commercial failures. Those failures being Ultima VIII and Ultima IX. The reasons behind those failures are many. However a lot of the blame for Ultima VIII's shortcomings, especially the jumping, can be laid at the feet of the development team and not EA. Because of the disaster of VIII, Ultima IX was plagues with issues. Especially since they had a rotating staff, technology issues, and other challenges the game was an ignoble end to a series that touched many. However like many of the Ultima games, it is not the destination, but the journey that is the true heart of Ultima.

The Prophet of the Avatar

Sunday Aug 01, 2021

TCW Podcast Episode 143 -The Prophet of the Avatar

In part two of our look at the Ultima series we start with how Richard came to the morality system that became a central feature of the franchise. Using a combination of features he likes from various worlds religions, his own experiences, and so on Richard crafted the eight virtues that the play, who would become the avatar, would have to emulate. In the following two games. The story focused on how not all choices are black and white like in Ultima V, and how without all the facts you may be fighting against a group that may just be trying to survive. This is a fascinating look at morality in videogames that is unprecedented at the time, and is rarely, if at all, emulated today.

Ultima: Exodus to Akalabeth

Thursday Jul 15, 2021

TCW Podcast Episode 142 - Ultima: Exodus to Akalabeth

In this episode we look at the legendary series of Ultima! We look at the lead up inspiration, and influences that led to the creation of Ultima. This episode ties in heavily with our look at Origin Systems. In this we use the creation of Ultima as a microcosm of the development of the PC industry. The plight of the bedroom coder. Wanting to make cool games, finding themselves thrust into a wider PC game world, and the eventual whirlwind of having publishers involved. We mainly focus on how the creation of the games mirrors Richard's growth as a game designer and eventually perfecting the base formula with Ultima III.
