Some podcasts get TV or Movie spinoffs, others are destined to form the basis of academic essays relating to the Fantasmatic Structure of Videogame Memory.
Genuinely thrilled about this, big thanks to @bcnicoll for his interest and hard work. academia.edu/49345650/What_W…

How was I unaware of this?
A fella did a total hack of Alex Kidd in Miracle World, to produce a direct sequel. And even has released some gorgeous-looking physical copies: cart, clamshell case, full-color manual, poster, and all.

Just wanted to give a shout out to @CheckpointsShow for being what I consider the most wonderfully put together gamedev interview podcast. @declandineen has an immensely charming/ polished interview manner and the show always has continuously high calibre guests.

Checkpoints #116 - In the 1990s Serbia was under UN sanctions which prevented video games from entering the country. Makeshift arcades - known as Sega Clubs - emerged to fill in the gaps. My guest today is Andrej Bjelakovic & I’ve never heard a life in games quite like it. – at Glasgow, Scotland
