Into The Vertical Blank

Into The Vertical Blank

A Podcast about growing with a twin brother up In the 70s and 80s, at the dawn of video games, navigating family strife, punk rock, Star Wars obsessions, and trying to understand the world while developing an inexplicable love for everything “Atari”. -- In this podcast we discuss Atari computers and systems, new and old, review new games we collect, talk about all the systems, and the significance they had in our lives and the lives of others, and even talk about them in an historical context with the backdrop the times they were released, and how they are being used now. We do all this in an effort to finally understand the answer to this existential question: what does it mean to have grown up in the generation of "the Vertical blank."

    129: The Best *#@! Christmas Ever: An Atari 8-bit Journey Into The Vertical Blank

    The final, definitive version of the story we've been trying to tell for the past 6 years. Christmas 1983, the Atari 8-bit computer Christmas was, for many reasons, the best *#@! Christmas ever. This new version gives a rounder picture, explains The Vertical Blank, obsesses over Star Wars, and tries to explain the actual result of Christmas 1983, once and for all. #atari #atari8bit #atari800 #starwars #blankgeneration #genx You can watch a movie version here:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N9YfsN51kO0&feature=youtu.be Extra soundtrack music "Tinsel and Fire" by Tony Longworthttps://tonylongworth.bandcamp.com/album/free-music-for-everyone Late night fuel support appreciated but not demanded : https://www.buymeacoffee.com/intotheverticalblank Thanks for support from:BCB, Atari Legend, Atari Crypt,ED Possible, Tony LongworthDaniel Beasley, Barry BurkeyDavid Schmidt, Jolt7800Dave theVelociraptor All music, audio / video production. writing and game play by #JeffFulton and or #SteveFulton unless otherwise noted.

    #125: 10 Good “Euro” Action Platformers for the Atari ST

    (Including Sun Su Si and First Samurai)   Join us as we take a look at 10 good #actionplatformer games for the #atarist we also briefly discuss them for the #amiga and otjer 80s computers such as the #c64 and #pc I have chosen the #Atari ST as my platform because it was what I had from 1987 until 1992 and also because these games have most likely been explored in detail for other systems multiple times already, whereas the ST versions probably have not been explored as much as they deserve outside of the few good ST youtube channels that do a great job of covering games for the system.Youtube version: https://youtu.be/BeT-50_7LnI Late night fuel support appreciated but not demanded : https://www.buymeacoffee.com/intotheverticalblank Thanks for support from: BCB, Atari Legend, Atari Crypt, ED Possible, Tony Longworth Daniel Beasley, Barry Burkey David Schmidt, Jolt7800 Dave theVelociraptor All music, audio / video production. writing and game play by #JeffFulton and or #SteveFulton unless otherwise noted.

    124: 10 Mid-80’s “Euro” Action Platformers on the Atari ST (and other 80’s computers)

    #atari #atarst #actionplatformer #amiga #msx #c64 #speccy #amstradcpc #dos The Euro Platformer. Today the term is used with much derision, mostly by console game fans but even by some many 80’s computer games, and well now, now even by me, and we all probably should know better, or should we? Yes, these games had very high difficulty, cheap deaths, a lot of jumping to unknown places and mostly “bad game design” that would have the Retronaughts guys throwing up their arms in disgust. I’m picking to play these on the Atari ST because it's the machine I had and loved but also because it bridged the gap in many ways between the 8bit era and the full 16-bit era with its colorful graphics but decidedly 8-bit sound. The ST was a machine built for 1985 with very little concern about what would come next. Sometimes I jokingly call the games of this time the forgotten 12-bit era. I will note, and briefly discuss these games, if available, on other systems, because you really should check them out on the machine of your choice, but the ST versions are the ones we will be looking it today in 10 Mid-80’s “Euro” Action Platformers on the Atari ST (and other 80’s computers) Late night fuel support appreciated but not demanded : https://www.buymeacoffee.com/intotheverticalblank Thanks for support from: BCB, Atari Legend, Atari Crypt, ED Possible, Tony Longworth Daniel Beasley, Barry Burkey David Schmidt, Jolt7800 Dave theVelociraptor All music, audio / video production. writing and game play by #JeffFulton and or #SteveFulton unless otherwise noted.

    #123: Atari I.P List Found! 23 Atari ST Games They Own!

    #123: Atari I.P List Found! 23 Atari ST Games They Own! We scour Atari's 2024 IP list (we were altered to it last week by BCB Coffee Boy last week) and discover 23 Atari ST games Atari (probably) owns that could be put into a game pack, DLC for Atari 50, an Atari ST mini, etc. We played (almost) all of them (game play video included). Note: list was first published by PowerDubs on atariage.com who found it on Atari's home page:https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1e-tl9Oqwnr78879Lnne_uhlsGkPWFK_z428ZmUaJjog/edit#slide=id.g2ff92e3406f_0_0 BCB's video (@ballistik_coffee_boy): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ipA-Cm64-2E AtariAge Thread:https://forums.atariage.com/topic/372647-atari-ip-list-2024/ Late night fuel support appreciated but not demanded : https://www.buymeacoffee.com/intotheverticalblank Thanks for support from:BCB, Atari Legend, Atari Crypt,ED Possible, Tony LongworthDaniel Beasley, Barry BurkeyDavid Schmidt, Jolt7800Dave theVelociraptor All music, audio / video production. writing and game play by #JeffFulton and or #SteveFulton unless otherwise noted.

    #122: Worse Than E.T.? Pac-Man And The Day Atari Lost The Video Game War

    Is Atari 2600 Pac-Man worse than E.T. for The Atari 2600?Or does it go deeper than that? Did the timing, release, and quality of the 2600 Pac-Man game combine together to make it worse than the sum of its parts? We explore that in this video.
