Atari
treads new ground with their first terrestrial vector arcade
offering, Battlezone!
Was this the first game with true military applications? How did
constant complaining lead to getting credited in one of the best
arcade games made? What genius idea did Pastblaster’s wife have to
witness the Gumball 3000 rally for free? Was Battlezone the
original Virtual Boy (but better in every way)?
This episode’s listener questions include what animal behavior
makes us question reality; and what fast food/arcade promotion
would we like to see and what food would we like to see them sell?
