  • Lost in Space - April 13, 2018

    Listen to Lost in Space - April 13, 2018 So many 1960s sci-fi properties, so many reboots. When it comes to Lost in Space, we seem determined to not leave the space family Robinson languishing in fandom of the past. The most recent incarnation, and the one that seems to have stuck, got its start on Netflix on April 13, 2018. Follow Sci-Fi 5…

Latest YouTube Video

Robot City: for all your robot needs! Or at least if you have need of a bunch of robots who are out to kill you dead at the first opportunity. A really neat unreleased prototype from the European Videopac library (basically the Odyssey2). 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. Check out my other projects and podcasts: eBooks "VWORP!1", "VWORP!2", "WARP!1" and "Fatherhood, Fandom, And Fading Out" available at http://www.thelogbook.com/store/​ and at Amazon! Select Game: Expanded Memories of the Odyssey2 podcast - http://www.thelogbook.com/selectgame/​ Retrogram podcast - http://www.thelogbook.com/retrogram/​ Don't Give This Tape To Earl podcast - http://www.thelogbook.com/thistape/​ theLogBook.com's Escape Pod daily mini-podcast - http://www.thelogbook.com/podcast/​ And, of course, the site that started it all, combining sci-fi, retro video games, book, music and toy reviews, and all sorts of retro-futurist fun: http://www.thelogbook.com​ All of the above podcasts are available on iTunes and Stitcher.

    HGR2: You think I’m a pretty basic podcast host? Oh baby, I am totally a BASIC podcast host. It’s a memory core dump from the early days of Commodore PETs and the mighty Apple IIe-compatible Franklin ACE 1000, a journey back in time to the computers that made me fall in love with…well…computers. Also, the…

  • 501: A New Look For The Odyssey2?

    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 to come up with a new look? Hear from someone who tried, but apparently didn’t stick the landing.
