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.

VC2002, Squeeze Box!

Hello! Thanks for joining me in this episode all about Squeeze Box by U.S. Games. As I type this I am realizing that I made a huge mistake in the show, something I could have fixed if I looked at my own previous research. What a maroon! Hopefully I'll remember to correct it in the next episode. Which will be about Miner 2049er and Miner 2049er Vol. 2, both by Tigervision. I will also be talking about the Atari 8 bit game that spawned these two cartridges, as well as its creator, Bill Hogue, who I believe was 20 when he created the game. When I was 20 I was eating at White Castle three times a week. Oh well. If you have feedback for Miners 2049er, please send it to me at 2600gamebygame@gmail.com by EOD May 27th. Hopefully I can keep this streak going! Thank you all for listening, I am so glad you are here.
