This weeks gaming podcast covers a bunch of crazy content, we’re putting out the question, are collectors editions games going a bit too far? Also, a look back at UniRacers, before Rockstar North was known as Rockstar and history on the gameboy and its portable madness.
In the news:
- World of Warcraft achievements retroactive!
- Asus taking a stab at the Wiimote and Nunchuck for the PC
- EA making “For Dummies” games
- Microsoft Sets release date for Fable II
Of course, we’re always looking for more user comments and questions. If you’ve got a few minutes rate us in iTunes and digg the podcast. Last week to enter into the Galactic Civilizations II: Dread Lords give away.
Now here is another interesting video game for the Atari 2600, the game Dragon Fire consisted of two game screens, one which you ran across a bridge while fireballs were shot at you, you had to duck or jump over the fireball. This screen was a side-scroller style screen (although it doesn’t actually scroll), at the other end of the bridge was a castle door which you’d enter to get to the next screen.
When you finished collecting all the treasure an exit would pop up in the corner and you had to run to it without being burned by the fireballs, that dragon would turn from left to right nearly instantly too! Then, you’d jump into the exit and be back on the bridge again, but this time it was harder. You could die up to 7 times before the game was over (just to show you how hard it is, they gave you a bunch of lives).
Hey guys, (Don’t I always put that?) My opinion on the question,”Have collectible games gone too far?” Is, no, they haven’t gone too far because with almost any CD, book, or movie you see today has a collectible version. And I think that they should keep making collectible versions of them because it shows either who can afford it, or who is loyal enough to the francise to give extra money for a product with more features/content.
P.S. – I love your show! You should make a video podcast sometime.
P.P.S. – Sorry to bug you, but I was just wondering, what is y’alls Xbox Live Gamertags (If you have 1) so I can send you guys a friend request and maybe play some games some time.
Thanks!
