Arcade Attack Retro Gaming Podcast (Arcade Attack)

Who here loves a good Easter egg hidden deep in a video game? Well, buckle up as Adrian rattles through 20 of the most amazing and bizarre Easter eggs in video game history. 

Warren Robinett created the first ever Easter egg in his ground-breaking title 'Adventure'! This has led to some very clever secrets to emerge over the years in a huge range of video games! 

From a secret alien hidden within Final Fantasy VIII to underground duck racing in Shenmue 2, Bill Clinton shooting some hoops in NBA Jam and everyone's favourite pirate hidden away in Unchartered 4. 

Plus, are we truly the bad boys of retro gaming? A certain developer who made the Amiga classic Hunter probably thinks so! All of this and much more will be discussed in this fun podcast!

Errr, it's sort of an interview (you'll see).

Adrian asked the VGM legend George Sanger (The Fat Man) for a text interview for Arcade Attack. George went above and beyond and recorded his answers in video form. 

He's an American musician who has composed music for computer and video games. Some of his best-known works include The 7th Guest, Wing Commander, Hard Nova, Maniac Mansion (NES version), Loom, Tux Racer, and Zombies Ate My Neighbors.

George is a really funny guy and gave some great answers! Enjoy!

Ten scary gaming myths and urban legends that rocked the gaming world.

We look at how the E.T. Atari 2600 game almost destroyed an industry and was dumped in a landfill. Can you play as Rebecca in Resident Evil 2? Did Killswitch, a game that uninstalls itself actually exist? And lots more stories to get your teeth into!

*Warning - this podcast contains adult themes (LOL) so it's up to you to shield your offspring or those of a sensitive disposition. Or let them loose on the madness!*

Adult theme jokes aside we're back! With another gaming myths podcast! I'd like to say it's because the first one went so well but it's due to the fact that Adrian found too many to fit in one! Ha ha!

This week we tackle myths concerning games uninstalling themselves, a certain Final Fantasy VIII theory and what actually happened to those "spare" copies of the Atari E.T among many other weird and wacky tales. We also laugh at our own conspiracy theories.

Is Batman Returns a good movie? Were the licensed games any good? Dyl and the gang attempt to answer these questions and many more.

As well as the film, we tackle a thumping 16-bit beat em up, a limp 8-bit game that's far too easy and a very purple 16-bit game made slightly better by the presence of the Batmobile.

Age of Empires (AoE) is one of the most important video games ever made. The series had sold 15 million units even before the third instalment! Matt Pritchard was a key cog in the Ensemble machine for the first two AoE games, his programming expertise vital in making them what they were. 

Lots of AoE chat and he also touches on his time at Valve and what Half Life 3 could have been (maybe still will be). His humility and refusal to pull any punches makes this a must-listen (well, we would say that).

Keith and the gang finally open up the can of worms/mushrooms that is The Last of Us. Naughty Dog's behemoth has been wowing gamers since its release on the PS3 in 2013, but how good is it?

Also seems a good time to discuss HBO's slick small-screen adaptation. Here's 2.5 hours of TLOU goodness. And we might just discuss the sequel later this year.

Howard Scott Warshaw left an undeniable mark on the video game industry! After creating the amazing Yars' Revenge for the Atari 2600, it seemed Howard would become one of the true pioneers of the video game industry... In fact, he would almost single handily go on to to destroy the industry with the release of E.T.

Howard shares some amazing stories in his short-lived but hugely influential career in gaming. He gives some truly honest and revealing answers on how one man was blamed for almost grinding the video game industry to a halt.

Howard also reflects on his amazing new book; Once Upon Atari: How I made history by killing an industry.

Action 52 is regarded by many as the worst NES games/carts of all time but my, does it have a fascinating story. Entrepreneur Vince Perri's foray into the video games industry was a mammoth 52 game compilation all on one NES cart. What resulted was a curious mix of games, many of which were unplayable. 

Adrian, furious at how The Cheetahmen never became mainstream, channeled this energy into tracking down Action 52 producer Mario Gonzalez for this fascinating insight into a cart which could have been the best NES cart of all time. But it wasn't. Enjoy.

You can read Mario Gonzalez's previous interview with us here.

Enjoy our rundown of the top 25 SEGA Mega Drive / Genesis video games ever released. From Sonic 2 to Street Fighter, Gunstar Heroes to Shinobi. Plus a few strange choices to get your blood boiling. We expect nothing less than an almighty ton of vitriol from you and the entire retro gaming community!

Our Amiga Top 25 went so well we thought we'd do it again with our favourite console and without Tim's "lovely and highly complex algorithm", it could have gone better... But kudos to Adrian for coming up with a (tweaked a bit by Dylan, so let's blame him) way of taking Ade's, Rob's, Tim's, Keith's, Faith's, Chris's and Dylan's top 10 MD/Genesis games and compiling this list.

The id Software legend Tim Willits joins our Adrian for a no holds barred chat about creating the Quake games, leading design on DOOM 3 and what he really thinks about some of his former id colleagues (you've probably guessed who we're on about).

Greener pastures await him at Saber Interactive after around 24 years at id. Think you've heard all there is to know about Quake and DOOM? Think again! Tim's truly got his BFG out for this one and we loved it, hope you will too.

This has been a long (ish) time coming. Covid poses its own problems but it also opens up new opportunities. We invited three of our mates from the other side of the world - ...Since Spacies (Brian); Sega Master Tim (Tim); and The Top Loader (Todd) - to do battle with us over the airwaves. Well, not quite...

The boys join Ade and Dylan for a chat about SEGA, Nintendo, Brian and Tim working for the SEGA Hotline, what collecting means to us, why heart attacks are bad, Aussie slang (we're sure Adrian is NOT a drongo) and a few subjects we always cover on AA. Yeah, you know the ones! So sit back and enjoy a whopping two-hour chat with Australia's finest.

The American dream turned sour, Max Payne is the outlawed cop hellbent on revenge after the murder of his family. The 3rd person shooter brought many things to the fore so it's only right that Adrian and Dylan enter bullet-time to chew the fat/painkillers to get to the bottom of the original game, its successful sequels and the not-so-great Marky Mark film.

Yep, we've gone all meta and are now interviewing each other! Ha ha! But seriously, Adrian has been the main driving force at AA so I (Dylan) thought it'd be nice to make him the interviewee for a change.

So, learn more about the man and let us take you on a whistle-stop tour of our journey so far. Apologies if we missed any of you in the shoutouts, we only had an hour!

Stylishly late to the party as ever, here's our take on Resident Evil 3 old and new. 

Keith (who else) guides us through the PlayStation original and what he (re)makes of 2020's effort. And we try not to draw parallels between Jill's fight in Raccoon City and current events. Try.

On a retrogaming podcast? Are you kidding me?! Sort of. Our journey into the cold wastelands of Patreon has opened up a few opportunities to do different things. Adrian's mum's erotic novel is one (we're all petrified, don't worry) and the opportunity to talk about more modern stuff is another.

Dylan (of all people) introduces the concept and the boys open up about the modern games they've been enjoying the last few years and ones which are due a Patreon podcast or two. From Microsoft's Forza offerings to PlayStation exclusives to er, Breath of the Wild and Stadia (oh we go there), we hope there's something to tantalise your taste buds for the future.

We've somehow been around for five years and never actually spoken about Street Fighter 2 the game. So to mark our anniversary, Dylan rounded up a bit of trivia and a lot of chat about arguably the most important one on one fighting game ever made. The boys chip in with their opinion on favourite SF2 memories, characters, backdrops, versions and of course, that amazing soundtrack.

One of LucasArts' last ever adventure games, Grim Fandango was equal parts critical acclaim and commercial failure. You can play it on literally any platform but is it worth a look?

Keith and Adrian take the opportunity to wax lyrical about Tim Schafer's masterpiece. Dyl is less impressed...

Movie Description: It’s an 80s hacker movie, set in the modern day - and in an age of 24-hour connectivity - it’s a love letter to an era when computing and gaming were a lot simpler. More importantly, at it’s emotional core, ‘Ctrl AI Delete’ is about how a group of very ordinary friends dig deep and find a courage and resourcefullness they never knew they had, in order to fight against a global disaster.

They also discus working on gems like Turok and South Park with some great anecdotes thrown in along the way.

Ian and Neill talk about establishing their names in Scotland with DMA Design and why they both chose to move to the US to continue their excellent career in video games.

You're stuck on a desert island. You somehow have full electricity, a TV and a game console of your choice. Which 5 retro games would you take with you to keep you sane before you are rescued?

Friend of the show Andy came up with a lovely idea for us to rip off a popular Radio 4 segment, we'll leave you to guess the rest ;)

Adrian, Rob and Dylan venture their choices and there's only a bit of Atari Jaguar stuff in there. Kidding, obviously...

We don't capitalise much but the latest Sound Test effort from our Keith certainly deserves it - Amiga POWER!

Dylan stole some of the more well-known tracks for his driving mix in 2020 but Keith didn't need to dig deep to find some absolute beauties. From Alien Breed to Turrican 2, from Brimble to Huelsbeck, it's all here in lovely Amiga stereo-quality goodness.

So put your feet up and relax to almost two hours of Amiga POWER!

Chris McAuley is a Northern Irish born author, comic book and gaming columnist who has now branched out from talking about comics to helping create them. An acclaimed colourist for 2000 AD and Marvel he has worked on flagship titles such as Judge Dredd, Roy of the Rovers and Hulkverines. He now works on the official Stoker Dracula comics.

We thought it's about time we introduced you to our second-newest member (Retro Faith just pips him as the newest), Chris McAuley!

Chris has done a lot of colouring work for Marvel and some of you may have bumped into him at a comic convention or two. His road to working for them and dev house Utomik is quite something! We've dragged him along to chat about his career, comics, games based on comics and how he came into our lives (and boy, does Adrian have a story to tell about that!)

Next week we'll be discussing the history of comic books and their influence on games. We're also chatting about our favourite comic-based movies and games so be sure not to miss that one!

Warning: This pod contains adult themes, adult language and not our usual lovely selves (mostly our lovely selves).

It's the moment you've been waiting for! Indeed, Rob throws everything he's got into supporting Streets of Rage 3 much to Dylan's disgust (he'll blame it on the beer, we'd probably say Dyl was just being an ass, ha ha!)

The gang turn to Adrian to guide the discussion about Remake, which none of them have played. Adrian's sound difficulties also provide some much needed comic relief.

And finally we discuss the game we've been waiting 24 years for confirmation of. One thing we cannot confirm is that Dyl doesn't work for Microsoft. You'll see what we mean...

The much-hyped Evercade dropped earlier this year and appears to have been a commercial success but is the thing any good? Nathan's sent us a unit to review which Adrian promptly bought off him (bit of a clue how this is gonna go there). James joins us in Keith's absence for a chat about said item and also the worth of physical media in this day and age.

A man who needs no introduction, Ed Annunziata brought us the magnificent Ecco the Dolphin as well as classics such as Kolibri and Vectorman. Thanks to our amazing friend Michael for putting Adrian in touch with Ed to deliver this fascinating, mammoth SEGA chat.

Ed also talks about his inspirations behind his hit titles, such as how a chance encounter with a friendly hummingbird inspired Kolibri. He also talks about the future of Ecco the Dolphin, making Vectorman, Three Dirty Dwarves, Mr. Bones and his reflections of working at SEGA.

Virtua Racing became one of the most influential arcade games of all time. SEGA's arcade racer laid the foundations for many subsequent 3D racing titles. The racing classic gets the full Arcade Attack treatment and the various console ports are discussed.

What game blew you away the most at first sight? Rob throws his cap to the crowd this week and dives into Sega’s 90’s arcade peak to talk about his choice. Dire Straits get a mention too but don’t worry, it’s brief.

Dyl decided to give Adrian the week off to interview Dean Mortlock, 90s gaming mag Sega Power's last ever editor having worked there as a writer since 1992.

Dean's decided to go back into the shark-infested waters of magazine publishing with his new venture 'Sega Powered', ably supported by Neil Randall (DC-UK,360 mags), Marc Jowett and our bud from Maximum Power-Up, Paul Monaghan, it'll be full of Sega-related goodness past, present, and future.

Dean's life on the mags, dealing with Sega, the magic of Sonic, the demise of the Saturn and many other retro gaming tales all in this hour-long chat.

Please consider backing the Sega Powered Kickstarter here:

The first of our Streets of Rage double bill features the seminal Streets of Rage and its bigger, badder sequel. You'll have to wait until next week for Dyl and Rob's bickering about SOR3, Ade's take on SOR Remake, and what Dyl makes of SOR4 (as no one else could be bothered to play it!)

Just another brawler? Just another Final Fight clone? The Streets of Rage series brought a few more things to the table. The gang try to decipher it all under Keith's careful supervision (SOR1) and Dyl's not-so-careful supervision (for the SOR2 bit).

So strap yourselves in for another pun-filled/jibes-aplenty/slightly-more-research-than-Wikipedia/remote AA podcast...

James takes us on (possibly) one of his last ever whistlestop tours of a gaming genre. However, this time Adrian has managed to strongarm him into doing both the fighting and beat 'em up genres at the same time. We think he did a fab job.

Gunstar Heroes, Tomb Raider, the SEGA Menacer... Just a few of the titles and projects ex-SEGA producer Mac Senour helped create. Enjoy a great interview with a true SEGA legend.

Mac Senour shares some really eye-opening and unbelievable stories about his time working as a producer for SEGA for Arcade Attack. Mac reflects on the extremely strained relationship between SEGA of America and SEGA of Japan during the early 90's with some stories you need to hear to believe.

He also discusses his vital role on getting the legendary Gunstar Heroes released - which seemed to be destined for the bin! Mac also talks about his role on the SEGA Menacer gun, working on Taz for the Game Gear, playing golf with Clint Eastwood and getting hit in the stomach by Joe Frazier. Mac also reflects on his time working for Atari and US Gold and his role in helping Lara Croft and Tomb Raider see the light of day. Mac also provided a lovely text interview in the past for Arcade Attack.

What are the best multiplayer video games ever made? Mario Kart, Mortal Kombat, GoldenEye or even Micro Machines? Well, imagine you are stuck in a bunker with 3 friends and you need 5 games to keep you all from going insane. That is the challenge in our latest podcast.

In bad taste? Probably. But we're here to keep your spirits up as much as you do ours!

The AA boys are trapped in Dylan's underground bunker as the world falls prey to coronavirus, but what do they need to survive?

We've basically rehashed the Desert Island Diskettes episode (sorry Andy) with a multiplayer, coviddy, Norman Reedus twist. Our first ever 'remote' podcast went OK. And you've got Dylan doing an awful Keith impression to boot.

**If you want to join Rob's 'virtual film meetup' group click here. You can also see what he looks like ;)

How innovative was the Nintendo Wii!? Everyone seemed to own one and play Wii Sports. Why was this Nintendo console so popular? Plus, why was the Wii U such a failure? Enjoy our chat about both of these divisive game consoles.

So here is the last of our pre-coviddy lockdown backlog podcasts and it's quite apt that we discuss the console that really brought people together. Even your grandparents.

Nintendo struck gold with their motion-driven console, the Wii. But why was it so popular? We (wii?) discuss our favourite Wii moments as well as some of the console's key titles. We also question whether the thing is really retro at all and Adrian puts up a solid (sort of) defence of the Wii-U.

Murder, She Wrote spanned over 250 episodes! But did you know that the popular crime drama starring Angela Lansbury was also turned into a PC point-&-click adventure game?

Ever fancy stepping into the shoes of Jessica Fletcher? If so, all your dreams have come true! Yup, a Murder, She Wrote video game was released in 2009 and got Rob very curious indeed! 

Rob discusses one of the weirdest games to ever hit the PC and is on a mission to solve the ultimate mystery... Is it any good? Dyl, Ade and James chip in with their own views, plus somehow they get talking about The 1-2-3 Kid, a video game based on Breaking Bad and lots more in-between!

Hey paisanos! National stereotypes and off-duty wrestlers abound as we discuss the Super Mario Brothers Super Show, while Adrian pretends to hate the Zelda cartoon...because of the colour of Link's hair? Well excuse me, princess! And who is that making their long awaited return to the pod?

Eternal Champions & Virtua Fighter - just two of the iconic games Michael Latham helped create while being a producer at SEGA. He is back and ready to share loads of new stories and his views on SEGA today and in its glory days! The Arcade Attack boys are back and ready to celebrate everything SEGA! Plus, with a very special guest to help keep us all in check!

For our 199th episode we thought it only right to wax lyrical about our favourite ever video game company - SEGA.

Favourite SEGA consoles, favourite games, favourite arcade games, memories - it's all here, for two whole hours! Ex-SEGA supremo (and, amazingly, AA fan) Michael Latham kindly joined us to join in the fun and tell us more than a few amazing stories from the company's golden era. He also sends a volley back at Mac Senour for some comments he made in a recent interview. Let the SEGA fest commence!

What are the best N64 games to hit the market? Mario Kart, Zelda: Ocarina of Time, GoldenEye or even Resident Evil 2? Well, buckle up for our definitive list...

Laugh at us once more as we come up with a "definitive" console Top 25 using strange algorithms based on whoever's hosting the episode. This week it's Dylan's turn to host the N64 top 25 as he's barely played 20 N64 games (better leave it to the experts eh?) And don't worry, you're not going mad, this episode was filmed after Thanksgiving and was postponed for a whole load of reasons.

Have we lost our minds? We'd like to think not. James gives us the lowdown on a machine that didn't get the praise it deserves. Shame it was launched by that bloke off the Apprentice. It's the AlanSugarsTrading CPC 464!

Warning: this podcast contains strong language and themes not suitable for children!

What is the most divisive video game of all time? What game did you love, but critics hate? Well, there is one game that surely Trumps them all! 

With an almost perfect Metacritic score and reviews so intense and devoted you'll be forgiven for feeling a little scared! This mystery game's amazing story needs be to be told to the masses... well, our lovely listeners at least! What is the mystery game, well, it is Cory in the House on the Nintendo DS.

The boys have a good chat about the original PC-in-a-box, the Xbox.

Microsoft's huge (literally) "console" didn't sell as well as you'd think, but its stellar library coupled with better performance and the amazing Xbox Live means it has a special place in our hearts. The games, the conception, the legacy - all discussed in this week's podcast.

Martyn Brown helped create the legendary Team17, and had a hand in making some truly classic titles such as Alien Breed, Superfrog, Body Blows and Worms. Get a real inside view of how this celebrated video game company rose to the top during the '90s in this lovely podcast interview.

Martyn reflects on Team17's rise during Amiga's glory years and how they aimed to created games that not only looked great, but filled a gap in the market. He also reflects on Team17 today, the NFT controversy and the love/hate relationship with Worms.  

Martyn also shares a great story of how an ambitious cricket game was never released after the programmer disappeared, never to be seen again!

How wrong can Arcade Attack be about something? Well, confirming many of yours suspicions, quite a bloody lot, especially as far as the PlayStation Classic is concerned!

Listen to the podcast that was scheduled to come out before the final lineup for the console was announced only for Sony to get the jump on us! We luckily pulled it at the last minute but here it is so you can all have a good laugh as to how wrong we were. Wouldn't you rather our lineup though? ;)

Seeing as the last days of the podcast are on the horizon, we're unleashing our inner demons. Those being our love for modern gaming! Yes we've done this before a bit, but this time we're making James host it while taking Steve hostage in Adrian's absence.

J covers the best of what's coming up for modern day (trying not to say 'current gen') gamers while we have a good ol' rant about what modern games we're loving and not loving so much.

Before Shadow of the Colossus and The Last Guardian, Fumito Ueda created one of the best games to grace the PlayStation 2; Ico. This award-winning action-adventure title that inspired many future gaming classics gets the full Arcade Attack treatment.

Back of the box makes its return as Adrian takes us through the creation and gameplay of one of the most (ahem) iconic games on the PS2. No Rob, it ISN’T boring and grey!

Have a read of Adrian's text review here.
