From one
sentence in a notebook to a hundred digital legs, we talk about
Atari’s second best selling game ever and one of the
highest-grossing in arcade history, Centipede.
What makes Centipede so appealing to female players? How did Space
Invaders lead Dona Bailey from Cadillacs to Atari? Why was there a
delay in releasing this episode and is our excuse good enough for
forgiveness? How did the first Atari World Championships spotlight
that women could be better than men at video games?
The excellent listener questions for this episode ask us to insert
our choice for the most deserving creature that has never been
featured into a video game, and if our lives depended on having to
1cc an arcade game what would it be? Join the Podouken Discord and
