501: A New Look For The Odyssey2?

January 23, 2021January 17, 2021 earl

Clothes maketh the game: The black background. The vanishing point logo with its very, very seventies font. The Helvetica lettering. Could anything ever replace the classic look of vintage Odyssey2 packaging? Should anyone even try […]

November 28, 2020 earl

Anyone wanna make games for this machine? Third-party games were – and remain – a real rarity for the Odyssey2 and Videopac. But who, aside from Parker Brothers and Imagic, should’ve stepped up to the […]

Was Q*Bert too easy?  Apparently its creators thought so, and they prepared a little something for players who were too good at the original.

Phosphor Dot Fossils ( http://www.thelogbook.com/phosphor/ ) is one of the web's oldest archives of vintage console, computer, and arcade games; there was also a 2-DVD documentary of the same name, covering the early history of video games, produced in 2008 and 2009 (now available for download at http://www.thelogbook.com/store/ ).  And these days?  PDF aims to bring a more laid-back, less-caffeinated, less-profanity-spewing experience to the retro video game longplay video.

  • Color Out of Space - February 25, 2019

    Listen to Color Out of Space - February 25, 2019 H.P. Lovecraft wrote the story in 1927 of this fearsome foe from outer space: the color magenta. If that premise isn't oddly intriguing enough, the movie version had the good sense to put Nicolas Cage in the lead role. Find out what exactly is the Color Out of Space that premiered on February 25, 2019.…

  • Retrogram #7636: Things To Watch While Landing On Mars

    The week of August 29th, 1976: Let’s say you’re heading for a landing on Mars, getting ready to do science stuff.  You’re probably not thinking about the fact that you’re going to miss shows about alien men escaping the yoke of female oppression, treacherous shape-shifters, and big Helix energy.  It’s a good thing Retrogram is…

Also: what I’ve been reading, some…
