PFL Posted March 5, 2018 Share Posted March 5, 2018 I'd read that book! I recently picked up Mark Bussler's (of Classic Game Room fame) Pac-Man book. It's a fun little read. I keep an eye on your blog but I figured it was just a legacy thing as it hasn't been updated in a while (I'm not judging!). I've always found Pac-Man and its impact on popular and gaming culture to be fascinating. I work with kids 5-12 and most of them know of Pac-Man even though they've never played any of the games. That's some impact! I'll keep an ear to the ground in case you do decide to go for it. If you don't, well, at least I'll still have the PFP. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dauber Posted March 26, 2018 Author Share Posted March 26, 2018 So...my "burnout" episode is out as of yesterday. I'd love to hear your thoughts. (And upon listening back, I noticed that I really need to stop saying "what happens is" and variations on same.) I don't know what to think about the final result though. http://fab4it.com/homebrew78/media/hbh_burnout_01.mp3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dauber Posted April 7, 2018 Author Share Posted April 7, 2018 After giving in to burnout, Sean returns with an on-topic episode (#33) with variations on a driving game, a tragic rarity for the Atari 7800. http://homebrew78.fab4it.com/media/hbh_episode_033.mp3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dauber Posted April 23, 2018 Author Share Posted April 23, 2018 After his whirlwind trip to exotic Milwaukee, Sean is back with episode 34, talking about the much-loved and highly sought-after multicart for the ProSystem.

Dauber Posted May 5, 2018 Author Share Posted May 5, 2018 Effective YESTERDAY, actually, episode 35 is out!

Dauber Posted May 19, 2018 Author Share Posted May 19, 2018 Episode 36, featuring the Mateos rewritable 16-in-1 multicart, has been released! This episode examines another piece of homebrew hardware, this time the only currently available option for playing ROM files on your ProSystem. Sean also takes a dive into podiatry.

Dauber Posted June 2, 2018 Author Share Posted June 2, 2018 New month, new episode: Lava Lamps & 8-Track Theatre!June opens with a look at quite possibly the first ever video game based on the radio show, and the radio show behind it.

It seemed like every podcast hath took a summer break. The only blip I saw this morning was a podcast that was talking about a Final Fantasy game. Ugh.

Dauber Posted June 18, 2018 Author Share Posted June 18, 2018 Pie Factory hasn't taken a break, btw. We recorded a new episode last week, but we're having some...issues...with our....post-production team. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you want my 5200 lot, I can arrange a road trip to Galloping Ghost one of these weekends. 4-port model . 1 out of the 3 controllers work! I'm trying to de-clutter. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dauber Posted June 18, 2018 Author Share Posted June 18, 2018 Ha! I'm trying to declutter, too. Been going on an eBay frenzy with my dupes and the games that I'm not attached to but can play via a Harmony cart. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going to listen to this right now. EDIT - Excellent episode It was great to hear from Ed, especially concerning the future Super 5200. I can't wait for that. Dauber, it's never too early to start looking for another 5200. BTW, nice shout-out concerning the 7800 Prosystem Joystick by AA member UberArcade. This is an excellent 8-way stick. Love the build quality and choice of left/right handed stick. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S1500 Posted June 19, 2018 Share Posted June 19, 2018 I like it. Nice & consistent with the console. Always made me wonder: Why has nobody cashed in on making backwards controllers? NES pads with the D-pad on the right. There's gotta be a market out there for it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dauber Posted June 30, 2018 Author Share Posted June 30, 2018 Episode 39 begins the look into perhaps the most popular Atari 7800 homebrew ever. Heck, maybe even the most popular homebrew on *any* Atari platform! (As per the results of a vote, this will be a multi-part episode.)http://homebrew78.fab4it.com/media/hbh_episode_039.mp3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dauber Posted July 19, 2018 Author Share Posted July 19, 2018 Sorry for the lateness, but...Episode 40 finishes up the two-part dive into perhaps the most popular homebrew ever for an Atari console. Listen and BUY THIS CARTRIDGE!! (Show notes will be posted later.) http://homebrew78.fab4it.com/media/hbh_episode_040.mp3 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dauber Posted July 24, 2018 Author Share Posted July 24, 2018 Hi, friends. Just wanted to give y'all an update...First of all, show notes for episode 40 have been posted, in case you're interested. You can go to homebrew78.fab4it.com - lots of links for this episode!Also, for episode 41, I'm covering some never-carted football-ish (both "real" and American) games: Touchdown Challenge, Soccer Challenge, and World Cup. Sorry for the late notice, but just wanted to let you know in case you wanted to submit some feedback. Quite honestly, I don't think at this point I'll be able to include feedback in the episode, given the time crunches, but I can address it later.The games haven't been released on a cartridge, but you can get the ROMs and run them on your favorite emulator or 7800 multicart:Touchdown Challenge:http://atariage.com/forums/topic/226181-touchdown-challenge-my-first-7800basic-gameWorld Cup / Soccer Challenge:http://atariage.com/forums/topic/226524-soccer-games-for-the-7800 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inky Posted July 24, 2018 Share Posted July 24, 2018 I like it. Nice & consistent with the console. Always made me wonder: Why has nobody cashed in on making backwards controllers? NES pads with the D-pad on the right. There's gotta be a market out there for it. Contact DanthWader. He might do one for you. I hope he does one with two D pads, so the I can play robotron.

Dauber Posted July 29, 2018 Author Share Posted July 29, 2018 Sorry for the late notice...but the episode posted early this morning!

Dauber Posted August 12, 2018 Author Share Posted August 12, 2018 Hey there...got a new episode out, but it's a billion percent off-topic due to my busy schedule and vacation. Next episode will be about Serpentine. Send feedback by Wednesday, August 22! http://homebrew78.fab4it.com/media/hbh_burnout_2.mp3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dauber Posted September 8, 2018 Author Share Posted September 8, 2018 Episode 43 is out a bit early! The 43rd installment of this longer-running-than-expected podcast looks into one (or perhaps two?) of the first adventure games for the 7800. http://homebrew78.fab4it.com/media/hbh_episode_043.mp3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dauber Posted September 23, 2018 Author Share Posted September 23, 2018 It's time for episode 44! In this new episode, Sean pays tribute to the local pipefitters' union with two obscure titles. http://homebrew78.fab4it.com/media/hbh_episode_044.mp3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dauber Posted October 21, 2018 Author Share Posted October 21, 2018 Episode 46 takes a look at some unfinished games from 7800 homebrewer extraordinaire PacManPlus. Even in their unfinished states, these games still demonstrate Bob DeCrescenzo's amazing talent. http://homebrew78.fab4it.com/media/hbh_episode_046.mp3 Oh, and...episode 45 was released two weeks ago and I totally forgot to post about it! Episode 45 wraps up the remaining titles from frankodragon...at least until he produces more. http://fab4it.com/homebrew78/media/hbh_episode_045.mp3 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PacManPlus Posted October 27, 2018 Share Posted October 27, 2018 (edited) Dauber: You are awesome. I just listened to episode 46. Thank you for your continued kind words and support for me. Very cool that you used some of my songs in the background! If you're ever in Florida, please let me know. I owe you a beer. *You* have got to be one of the nicest people I will eventually meet. I may come back to one or two of them (ReZolve, and one that you missed, "Adventure III: The Race for the Chalice") ...and possibly Defender... Also, I had COMPLETELY forgotten about the game that I was going to port a long time ago (that I never started)... and I STILL can't remember the name of it, even though you mentioned it in the Podcast numerous times...
