Arcade Attack Retro Gaming Podcast

Watch this podcast on YouTube

On this week's episode we dive into a true AI heart of darkness with a look at a classic science fiction short story that's even more relevant today than it was when it was written during the Cold War. 

Harlan Ellison's notorious and highly influential I Have No Mouth....and I Must Scream is as bleak and unsettling now as it was when it was first published in 1967 and the 1995 point & click adventure game that it spawned is no different.

Join us as we discuss the story, the video game and humanity's relentless march towards oblivion at the hands of artificial intelligence...

Read I Have No Mouth....and I Must Scream.

It's about time we tackled a subject we've managed to avoid the last ten years - PC gaming! Who else other than our James to tackle it - and this week he hits us hard with PC hardware memories from the gang and our wider community. We'll tackle the games next week.

You can watch us in the studio recording this podcast on our YouTube channel.

Ken Rose was a programmer for both SEGA and Atari and worked on many classic titles, as well as some of the biggest unreleased games in gaming history. 

At SEGA he worked on Sonic Spinball, which proved to be a big hit. However, he also worked on many unreleased title such as Treasure Tails, which would have been the first spin-off game to feature Sonic's best friend Tails. Ken also started work on Segapede which would have been released on the Genesis / Mega Drive. Ken reflects on his time at Sega with some amazing insights and stories.

Ken then worked at Atari and worked closely with BJ West to help program Black ICE/White Noise. This highly ambitious open world title would have been a Jaguar CD exclusive. Learn more about the back story of one of the worlds most ambitious titles and ultimately why it was never released.

Ken gives an honest and open interview about his time at both Sega and Atari and then working on the Nuon at VM Labs.
