In episode 312, we've got tunnel vision, focused only on bringing you a doozy of an episode!

This time, it's the 1983 CBS Electronics game TUNNEL RUNNER, a ground-breaking, immersive 4D experience. Okay, actually, they call it it 3D. We added the fourth D for "DAMN!"

In episode 311, I'm sorry to tell you, you've got termites.

And not just any termites. Giant, space-faring, killer nest-building termites. It's COSMIC SWARM, the 1982 title from CommaVid. Termites all over the darn place. And you, friend, must destroy them.

Fight that creepy crawling feeling you're experiencing right now thinking about giant bugs and get to work.

In ATARI BYTES 309, I hear voices.

This is nothing new, but this time, I know the voices are coming fromoutside my own head. Probably.

We're closing out Intellivision Month on the podcast by playing the 1982 Mattel title "Space Spartans" with - holy crap! - the "Intellivoice" voice synthesizer module. Is the game fun? Who cares! There's a robotic voice emanating from my blocky, outdated gaming console!

Episode 308 of ATARI BYTES is a blast!

A GAS blast, specifically!

It's true! In SPACE HAWK, your gas is the only thing that can save the universe. Tell you significant other to stop complaining.

The 1982 Mattel title SPACE HAWK is for the Intellivision console. Why an Intellivision game on an Atari-based podcast? Well, it's our annual INTELLIVISION MONTH! If you have thoughts about this title or Intellivision, send them to me. If you're blasting gas, keep it to yourself.

Does the 1983 nuclear terrorism game COUNTERMEASURE for the 5200 measure up to the quality you've come to expect from this podcast?

Let ye who is without Sin-istar, cast the first pod.

Well, fortunately for us, we DO have this episode's game SINISTAR, the 1984 Atari 2600 port prototype of the arcade game.

Is the game a heavenly delight or sinfully awful? Count your luck stars and join us.

In episode 304, you're joining the podcast at an historic moment...the debut of our brand-new (refurbished) ATARI 5200 CONSOLE (Thanks, Jose!)

We launch into the stratospheric heights of new game possiblities by falling into the dungeon, the SPACE DUNGEON, to be specific. The 1983 Taito arcade port is my focus in this one...until my cameraman wrestles away control of both joysticks from his old man. Kids, man.
