Over the next three episodes we embark on the largest review of Star Wars video games ever undertaken. This means we dont just discuss the greatest games based on the films but we also delve into the garbage compactor to rip into the rotten ones too. Episode one takes us from the release of the first Star Wars game, The Empire Strikes Back on Ataris 2600 console through to Namcos Star Wars game released on the Nintendo Famicom. Of course, as well as lots of game chat we all share our experiences of playing the games and being huge Star Wars fans as we grew up on different sides of the Atlantic. This epic trilogy also comes with a huge 266 page companion book which goes into even further detail about the games, stories and images from the greatest movie licence in the galaxy.

Swainy Posted November 7, 2015 Author Share Posted November 7, 2015 The Bitmap Brothers were UK gamings first Rockstars. They appeared in our computer magazines looking more suited to the cover of NME rather than the bedroom coders wed become accustomed to. Their video games had a look and style all of their own that when combined with their cutting edge dance music collaborations and savvy marketing created not only a loyal following among gamers but also influenced future generations of game makers. In this episode we focus on their 16-bit era and the games which dominated not only our gaming memories but also the charts and award ceremonies of the time. We couldnt let such legendary game makers go by without marking the occasion as best we could. So, the Drisk has been at it again created another huge 222 page companion book which goes into even deeper detail about the games, stories and images around the Bitmap Brothers canon. You can download the book for free here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0Bzvd4KYph8BNZjlvSFZYNlhXb0E/view Download The Episode http://traffic.libsyn.com/retroasylum/Episode_130_-_Bitmap_Brothers_Special.mp3 https://itunes.apple.com/gb/podcast/retro-asylum-uks-number-1/id474414834?mt=2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expect plenty of heated discussion and laughter along the way as we decide which 8 Bit system comes out on top this time round. Including: Cobra, Jack the Nipper 2, The Trap Door, Turbo Esprit, Wizball, Nebulus, Spy Hunter, Shadowfire, Green Beret and Salamander. http://traffic.libsyn.com/retroasylum/episode132.mp3 https://itunes.apple.com/gb/podcast/retro-asylum-uks-number-1/id474414834?mt=2&i=358331135 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
