    601: Steamed Up!

    Raise your hand if you saw this coming: If you thought the O2/Videopac news was getting awfully quiet, think again – Philips is back on the scene, releasing new compilations of classic Videopac games through Steam. There are some cool things about this, and some not-ready-for-prime-time things about it, and this podcast discovers some of both in real time. The really interesting thing is what this may portend for future homebrew projects in the O2/Videopac realm.

    503: What’s New With The New O2?

    Everything old is new again! The latest directly from the developers of the potential new member of the Odyssey family, a look at Odyssey Retro’s potential risks, potential greatness, and very cautious and frank analysis of the system’s chances of actually happening at all. And if the thought of the O2 making a comeback is a surprise, the other piece of news will definitely be a surprise.

    502: Retro WHAT?!?

    You wanna retro that by me again? The shot heard ’round the Odyssey²/Videopac world. Is someone seriously trying to bring this hardware platform into the present, or allowing it to stubbornly stick to the past? There are so many questions yet to be answered…and this edition of the show is asking them.

    501: A New Look For The Odyssey²?

    Clothes maketh the game: The black background. The vanishing point logo with its very, very seventies font. The Helvetica lettering. Could anything ever replace the classic look of vintage Odyssey² packaging? Should anyone even try to come up with a new look? Hear from someone who tried, but apparently didn’t stick the landing.

    404: Third Party Invitation!

    Anyone wanna make games for this machine? Third-party games were – and remain – a real rarity for the Odyssey² and Videopac. But who, aside from Parker Brothers and Imagic, should’ve stepped up to the plate? Another bite-sized edition of the internet’s only podcast with sync-sound action ponders who might have dared to create more games for the Odyssey². (10:43) Right-click and “save as” to download manually | Stitcher | Throwback Network | Gamebygamepodcast.com No YouTube video for this one. Hopefully the video component of the show can make a comeback in 2021.

Other music by Kasatochi. Select Game, much like that train going through Dyer, will return.

    403: The Top 5 Odyssey² Characters!

    Back In Action? Yes, Select Game is still here…and yes, Select Game still covers the Odyssey². A bite-sized edition of the internet’s only podcast with sync-sound action is here to let Odyssey² and Videopac (and Jopac and Radiola Jet…) fans know that there’s more to come.

    402: The Pinball Wizard Of Odyssey²!

    Back In Action! Now with 100% less Dalek vocalization. Is the Odyssey² up to the task of simulating the physics of pinball? And if it falls short…well, little multicolored dudes cracking electrical whips will do just fine, right? Sure they well! Also, we get to test-drive PackratVG.com’s amazing C7061 multicart to play Thunderball!, Pachinko!, and Ralph Baer’s Pinball prototype, while also checking out some of the multicart’s other features (such as its onscreen menu of 200+ games). Also: homebrew previews (Cold Case, Dungeon of Eternity, The Empire Strikes Back), the unveiling of the statue of Ralph Baer at Baer Square, and a little bit of cat scratch fever.

    401: Plus!

    Exterminate!! Some podcasts should be heard and not seen, but now Select Game offers you the chance to do both! Well, due to an unidentified microphone-and/or/-software issue, that might be a stretch, as your host sounds a bit Dalek-ish for the first several minutes of the show. In this edition, more listener letters, game names that might have been (but weren’t), and playing the graphics-enhanced Videopac+ versions of Pick Axe Pete, Cosmic Conflict, and Attack Of The Ti — uh, I mean, Terrhawks. Because obviously, Terrahawks, right? Do the graphical enhancements improve the game? Also, how about that Flashpoint?
