    The Intellivisionaries - Episode 47 - Something Different

    In this episode Rick and Chris talk through recent news in the Intellivision community while working out how to do this show without Paul's constant snarkiness.  There's a Homebrew Highlight segment covering IntellivisionRevolution's Missile Domination releases and a bonus segment including the recording of news that was originally intended for episode 46.  Doesn't sound like nearly 3 hours of content, does it?

    The Intellivisionaries - Episode 46 - Atlantis

    In this episode we do a Deep Dive game review of Imagic's Atlantis!  There's also an interview with programmer Patrick Ransil.  In our new Author Interview (AI) segment, we interview Retro Gaming Round Up host and author "UK" Mike James about his book, Smoke & Mirrors.  We also have a small tribute to James "Airshack" Shackel, who passed away earlier this year.  And we have a cool listener audio submission from Kevin Braun.  And there's Feedback, as well as a new Retro Hobby Projects from Rick, this time about repairing a Sega Dreamcast.  And, Paul announces that he's stepping away from the show to pursue other interests, and Rick and Chris will continue on with a different format.   Thanks for 10 years, folks!

    The Intellivisionaries - Episode 44 - A Tale Of Two Expos!

    The Intellivisionaries - Episode 44 - A Tale Of Two Expos!

    In this episode, we have two recaps from two gaming expos: CORGS (Columbus Ohio Retro Gaming Society) in May 2022, and PRGE (Portland Retro Gaming Expo) in October 2022.  Paul and Rick attended CORGS, Chris and Rick attended PRGE.  Paul was supposed to go to PRGE, but his wife broke her arm and elbow, so plans had to be changed.  You won't find our usual show segments in this one, and still no game review for Atlantis (perhaps the game review is elusive as the fabled city?), but you will get lots of Intellivision game talk, including expo pickups and new homebrews.  Even George returns, although not necessarily in any relevant way.  Enjoy!

My Favorite Retro Gaming Podcast!

This is one of my favorite podcasts! It’s got amazing sound quality and the music is out of this world. And the level of detail they dig into their topics is unmatched. For someone who grew up with the Intellivision this show is impossible to beat. My only wish is they would put out more episode!

Interesting and A Great Trip Down Memory Lane

I stumbled upon this podcast one Christmas during a bit of a nostalgia trip that seems to happen around the holidays. I wondered if there was an Intellivision podcast and low and behold this very podcast had only started up a few months earlier. All three guys are fun to listen to. It’s like hanging out with some old friends. They really do a great job, not just talking about the system but going as far as to find and interview old programmers or Mattel employees. It’s really great. If you spent any time in your youth playing the Intellivision and have fond memories of it you’ll definitely get a kick out of this podcast.

Impressive, Most Impressive!
