Yes, we are alive and have the next episode recorded and edited. Just need to put in the intro, outro, and a few sfx and I'll post the next episode, which I expect to be early next week (cuz, I have to get things ready for a 4th BBQ). Thanks for the reminder that people are listening. ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course, if something is popular, most people are willing to make more for monetary gains. Supply and demand. I tend to support the hardware side of things more than the software but if something is very well done, I'm totally on board with buying a copy. TBH, a lot of what is produced today is of higher quality than what we got back in the day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RJ Posted July 5, 2022 Share Posted July 5, 2022 In guessing Crime Buster went largely unnoticed/unappreciated BITD & a homebrew 7800 release would give it another chance. Basically a simple port over from the XEGS version- they did it with Barnyard Blaster. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justin Payne Posted July 16, 2022 Share Posted July 16, 2022 I FINALLY got the next episode out! In Episode 17, we take a double shot at some light gun games. First, we head out to the country to help Grampa rid his farm of all sorts of critters in Barnyard Blaster. Then we hit the big city to deal out some street justice in Crime Buster. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not at all, just answered my own question and deleted the post. Enjoyed this episode quite a bit, I'll have to set up one of my larger CRTs and revisit some light gun goodness! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justin Payne Posted July 20, 2022 Share Posted July 20, 2022 @adam242 Yes, I'd like to get my hands on a larger sized CRT one of these days but when I don't have to move it. Ideally, I'd have many systems hooked up to it that accepted light gun games, such as the NES and 7800. Heck, I'd love to play some arcade Operation Wolf and Lethal Enforcers.

Not too late to submit any feedback that you have to be in the next show. Slight correction. We had some delays in scheduling a recording but we have a solid date of 11/20 so it's not too late to get in your opinion of these games or previous ones we've reviewed. We always love to hear from people and if they agree, or disagree, with our evaluation of these classics. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justin Payne Posted November 22, 2022 Share Posted November 22, 2022 Ok, recording is done. Now comes the editing. 😵 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justin Payne Posted January 1, 2023 Share Posted January 1, 2023 I see that editing took longer than I had expected. We had a bit of a recording mishap. First time for that but it's all better now.In Episode 18, we take a trip back in time to World War II. First, we play as an allied commando dropping Into the Eagle's Nest to rescue our captured men, attempt to blow up the compound, and make our escape. Then we change sides and play as a German commander during operation Barbarossa as we attempt to strategically take Russia in Eastern Front 1941. https://xegs8bit.com/episodes.htm 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Justin Payne Posted July 17, 2023 Share Posted July 17, 2023 (edited) When you see May 6th in your teaser and you post the episode more than 2 months later. 😑 I have no to blame but myself...and nice weather...and yard work. In any case...In Episode 19, we try out a few sport ball games. First, we have the opportunity to play One-on-One between the basketball legends Larry Bird and Earvin "Magic" Johnson. Next, we won't go soft on our review of the baseball game Hardball. Edited July 17, 2023 by Justin Payne 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry for the delay but thanks to that listener who caught my mistake. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Justin Payne Posted December 26, 2023 Share Posted December 26, 2023 I finally released episode 20. We had a bit of a audio issue and I figured out a way to fix it. In any case, in this episode. we first jump forward to the year 3097 to compete in the fastest and most competitive game in the universe, Ballblazer. Then we jump back to the time when pinball was king to play a bit of David’s Midnight Magic. Also, stick around to the end where we ask listeners to provide us with...stuff. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Justin Payne Posted January 2 Share Posted January 2 (edited) For those who have listened to our latest show, you might have heard that our next episode (#21) will review the last game released for the XEGS by Atari, that game being Desert Falcon. David and I figured this would be a good time to put a pin in the podcast. Going forward, I might consider doing an overview of some of the prototypes but I think this pretty much the end for this long journey. We'd like to go out answering questions from listeners so if you've got any for us, you can post them in this thread or send them to us at Feedback@XEGS8bit.com.
