This weekend was rough and, as a result, this gaming podcast has an epic number of bloopers. A death in the family had us running all over the place and heading to family events. However, we pushed through and put out an episode which includes some history on Altered Beast and a look back at Eugene Jarvis.
This weeks news includes:
Micheal Pachter Gives E3 Highlight Predictions- Guitar Hero 5 Details Announced
- Take-Two Suing Apogee over Duke Nukem Forever Outcome
- Champion Online delayed
- Wal-Mart Enters Used Game Business
This weeks Question of the Week is a trivia question from Don dealing with these nanites and such… you’ll have to listen to get the context!
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).
Champions Online has NOTHING to do with the Marvel Comics universe – it’s based on the pen-and-paper RPG Champions (which uses the HERO System).
The Marvel MMO was cancelled and Microsoft pulled out. Cryptic then bought the entire Champions IP to replace it.

I really like podcast gaming. Bloopers just can’t be avoided. I love to know more about this weeks news and trivia questions.

Qn of week:
Is it Red Dwarf or Stargate? I’m ashamed to say I can’t remember whether they use the term nanites or nanobots.
PS: thanks for the review of plants vs Zombies 2 podcasts back. I was undecided before hearing the podcast, but I am very glad you convinced me to buy it.

I just installed the game last night and I was hooked…before I knew it, almost 2 hours had passed!
This game is great!
