Episode 60 - Namco Classics Come to Atari 50 w/ Digital Eclipse
The party hasn't stopped since Atari 50: The Anniversary Celebration was first released in 2022, as there are always more stories to tell. Enter the upcoming DLC, Namco Legendary Pack, where, true to its name, some of gaming's most legendary titles make their way to the collection. Xevious, Galaxian, and, of course, Pac-Man finally make their Atari 50 debut with a whole new timeline to tell the tale. For this episode, we discuss the story behind the story by going into the development of the DLC and what to expect from this hefty add-on. Joining me are Digital Eclipse's Chris Kohler (Editorial Director) and Dant Rambo (Producer).

Episode 59 - Let's Play System Shock 2 (w/ Nightdive Studios)
About 25 years ago, Kev Levine and Looking Glass Studios released one of the greatest games of all time, System Shock 2. Now, thanks to the efforts of Nightdive Studios, the game has returned better than ever on more platforms than ever before. To dive into what and how things have improved, I've recruited a few folks from the team to peek behind the curtain. Joining me to discuss are Nightdive's Daniel Grayshon (Project Manager/Director), Josh Dowell (Programmer), and Jonatan Pöljö (Creative Director).

Episode 58 - Let's Play Totally Reliable Delivery Service w/ SneakyBox
Back in 2020, We're Five Games' Totally Reliable Delivery Service made a name for itself thanks to its wacky physics-based antics. Streamers gravitated towards its chaos, which only broadened its appeal that endures to this day. Following the acquisition of the title by Infogrames, we recruited SneakyBox to get to work on an update and some new DLC to give more content to those fans who stuck with the game all this time and entice new players to check it out. Joining me to dive into these updates and DLCs are SneakyBox's Vytautas Ruzgus (producer), Augustas Vachauzas (game designer), and Donatas Vaiciulis (lead developer).

Episode 53 - Let's Play Turok w/ Nightdive Studios
The fabled episode 53 is finally releaseable, and it's all about Turok, which has just been announced for physical formats and will be released later this year! I jumped at the opportunity to chat about Turok with the team at Nightdive because it's a truly seminal FPS that has endured for generations. Joining me to discuss are Nightdive's Eric Serio ( Senior Developer) and Grover Wimberly IV (Producer) to dive deep into all the bells and whistles that are included in the remaster, along with plenty of indulgent, nostalgic tangents.

Episode 57 - Let's Play Golden Tee Arcade Classics w/ Digital Eclipse
Golden Tee has been a staple of bars and arcades for decades, thanks to its inviting and intuitive trackball controls and pitch-perfect golf game feel. But how, you may ask, would you translate that to consoles that aren't equipped with a trackball? A great question that can only be answered by a couple of returning guests from Digital Eclipse who tackled this very question. Calvin Vu (producer) and Jason Cirillo (engineer and artist) walk me through the ins and outs of the title and the process of bringing a vast collection of Golden Tee titles to consoles while retaining what's made them beloved all this time.
