Android8675 Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 Was a bit surprised that one of you didn't know what the Incognito board was. Enjoyed the Interview with the Antic guy. Great stuff guys, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atx4us Posted August 31, 2013 Share Posted August 31, 2013 The pod casts are fantastic! The interview with Jim Capparell (Antic) was great. I hope that you can have a chance to interview Tom Hudson of the Analog Magazine sometime. His games got me and many others here, I'm sure, interested in programming on the Atari computers. Please keep these coming. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtariDude Posted September 14, 2013 Share Posted September 14, 2013 Just listened to the first show. It was awesome. I did a search on iTunes and I added the podcast to my list of subscriptions along with your other show "Floppy Days". It was great to listen to Kevin Savetz as I have his Terrible Nerd book that I enjoyed immensely. Looking forward to listening to the rest of the series and future shows.

Subby Posted October 5, 2013 Author Share Posted October 5, 2013 (edited) "Anytime now" being now. The fourth episode has been now been duly inflicted on the listening public. And I think many of you will really enjoy Kevin's latest interview too! Edited October 5, 2013 by Subby 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fletch Posted October 5, 2013 Share Posted October 5, 2013 Hey guys, thanks for reading my post in the podcast Took me by surprise and made me smile. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atx4us Posted October 9, 2013 Share Posted October 9, 2013 I really enjoyed the interview with Chris Crawford. The questions were well thought-out which, of course, prompted insightful answers by Chris. We here at AtariAge are really fortunate that the Atari legends such as Chris are still actively participating in the Atari community. Obviously, without these guys, the Atari computers would not have achieved the great status that it had. Thanks for bringing us another great Podcast!

Android8675 Posted October 12, 2013 Share Posted October 12, 2013 OK, it's been 4 episodes, what's that opening song from? I had a copy of it back in the late 80s, I played it often on my 800. I want another copy of it, but I don't see mention of it ANYWHERE! epic fail. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Savetz Posted October 12, 2013 Share Posted October 12, 2013 (edited) It's the Atari 800 in-store demo: The song, by the way, is called Disco Dirge. I want to interview the guy who programmed the demo for an future podcast. I talked to him once, it was interesting.

WestofHouse Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 It's the Atari 800 in-store demo... Am I the only one who ran that demo many times at home, ever after having owned my 800 for months? I was always so fascinated by it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
idavis Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 So no one yell at me, but since it's a podcast and audio based, why didn't you name it Pokey? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Savetz Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 Hmm, because you didn't suggest that first, idavis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoTonah Posted October 15, 2013 Share Posted October 15, 2013 I've only made it through the first episode. Mostly like it, good information... but what bothered me the most was the sound quality. With two of the three of you, I could really hear tongue movement and breathing (to the point of distracting me from what was being said). Is it a sound mix issue? Nervous dry mouth? Hopefully the other episodes don't have this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+wood_jl Posted October 16, 2013 Share Posted October 16, 2013 I just listened to the first podcast in my car, on a commute. I love it! I listened to about 1/2 of the 2nd one. I am looking forward to the others! However, there's a few inaccuracies, at least in (I think; can't remember exactly since I listened to 1.5 at one time). I think it's the first one where someone says the 400 was *released* with 4K and the 800 with 8K. I do not believe that to be the case; I believe they were *slated* to be released that way, but were both actually released with a minimum of 8K. I was gifted an 8K/CITA 400 in 1980. Shortly thereafter, someone says they were both expandable to "however high one wanted to go" (or something to that effect) when in fact, the 400 was crippled to 16K (*officially*) until the end of its life, when Atari (finally) officially released a 48K upgrade, matching those efforts that the 3rd party had met, years before. You can still get this upgrade from Best Electronics, but you couldn't get it back when you were still fiddling with your 400/410 combo, back when they were fab. But it's really great listening for commuters! Bravo! Great job! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Level42 Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 Just saying I listened to your podcasts today while driving through The Netherlands and it really made me enjoy some traffic jams I especially liked the interview with the man behind Antic. Antic was an expensive magazine to buy here BITD, but it was by far the most professional one. It had to compete with local and UK magazines here. Chris Crawford's interview was interesting although I never played any of his games, not even Eastern Front.... Keep it up ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+wood_jl Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 It was great to hear from the Antic publisher. I agree it was a little sad when he dwelled on the failures, etc. in the end. I don't see how it could have been his failure that the Atari market collapsed; it was just natural that there wouldn't be enough Atari commerce to support Atari magazines anymore. What he did when he did it was great, and brought several years of joy to my life when I was a youngster. Will the Analog publisher agree to an interview? In the next one, the Chris Crawford interview was priceless! I could have listened to that interview without a moment of boredom if it were 3x as long! He's brilliant. Would have liked to hear about his experience writing the series of Atari articles for BYTE magazine, who otherwise largely ignored the Atari computers. These podcasts are great! I really like the classic Atari commercials, too. In one of the earlier (1st or 2nd) podcasts, someone said that they were surprised that another person attributed "Power Without the Price" to the Atari 8-bit line - that it was an Atari ST sloagan. However, the first place I remember seeing it was on the 130XE box, myself. As someone previously mentioned, these podcasts make short work out of otherwise-nasty traffic jams. Looking forward to more! Thanks so much! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Level42 Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 Power without the price was a Tramiel slogan, naturally..... I remember they launched it right when the ST AND XE were announced. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tezz Posted October 25, 2013 Share Posted October 25, 2013 I've listened through all four podcasts now, very entertaining. I'll look forward to the next one. An interesting interview with Chris Crawford in the lastest one, kinda reminds me of Professor Frink from the Simpsons Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
