The Atari 2600 Game By Game Podcast

Label by Rhindle The Red
 
Hello everybody! Thank you for sticking with me, I talk about my extended absence a little bit in this episode, which is about the unreleased Grover's Music Maker by Atari. I also talk about the history of Grover, and Mrs. Ferguson the Librarian stops by to read to you, which in my opinion is the best part of the episode. The next episode will be on Sega's Up 'n' Down, if you have any feedback on that game please send it to 2600gamebygame@gmail.com when you can. Thank you again, I love you all very much!

Missed it by that much
Welcome everyone! Today we are looking at the game Glacier Patrol, which was made by VSS for Sunrise Software, but released later by Telegames. It was much more interesting than I thought, and there is much more feedback than I expected for this one. Thank you for that. Coming up next is the prototype Grover's Music Make by Atari. If you have any feedback, please send it to 2600gamebygame@gmail.com by September 9th. As always I thank you for listening.

What a lovely flock of gazebos
Hi there, welcome back my friends to the show that no longer comes out on time. In this episode I talk about two (count 'em) games by Tigervision, Miner 2049er and Miner 2049er Volume II. two sides of the same coin, if you will. there's lots of fun links to check out down yonder so have at it if you are so inclined. Next up is Glacier Patrol, made by Sunrise via VSS but distributed well after the fact by Telegames. I'm sure all of you spent hours playing this game in your youth,; if you'd like to tell me about it please send an email or audio to me at 2600gamebygame@gmail.com by August 19th. Thank you very kindly, have a lovely day and I thank you for listening.
