Episode 69 - From Tabloid to RollerCoaster Tycoon w/ Matt Raithel
If you've been following the happenings of Atari for the last few years, you've likely taken note of some of our frequent collaborators. One of them, Graphite Lab, has been delivering killer new titles like Kombinera, Mr. Run and Jump, and Qomp 2, while also serving as the current steward of RollerCoaster Tycoon Classic. That's in addition to fostering a number of other projects with various partners. At the center of their operation is Matt Raithel, Studio Director of Graphite Lab. Following the launch of a title on the newly released Board platform, I thought it was an opportune time to sit down and chat a little bit about that, but also Matt's background and how he sees the middle America gaming industry.Check out some of the latest Atari releases:Mortal Kombat: Legacy Kollection: https://atari.com/collections/mortal-kombat-legacy-kollectionTotal Chaos: https://atari.com/products/total-chaosOutlaws + Handful of Missions Remaster: https://atari.com/products/outlaws-handful-of-missions-remasterBlood: Refreshed Supply: https://atari.com/products/blood-refreshed-supplyJoin the Atari Club on Discord: https://discord.gg/atariclubFollow us:Atari:X: https://x.com/atariBlueSky: https://bsky.app/profile/atari.comGraphite Lab: https://x.com/graphitelabMatt Raithel: https://x.com/raitheoshowJason Polansky: https://bsky.app/profile/jaysofdoom.bsky.social

NOTE: This was recorded on October 30th. Please follow Atari and Digital Eclipse for the latest news and updates about our games.Mortal Kombat! This series needs no introduction, but it does have a story to tell. No, not the one about its kombatants, but rather its origins and rise to prominence. Mortal Kombat changed the gaming industry forever, so it would be no small undertaking to both tell the tale and deliver a wide collection of the classic series emulated to painstaking perfection. Fortunately, Digital Eclipse was more than up to the task! Following up on the interactive documentary format seen in Atari 50, Llamasoft: The Jeff Minter Story, and more, they've taken their craft further than ever to deliver the ultimate Motal Kombat Kollection with three hours of documentary footage. Joining me to discuss are Digital Eclipse's Dan Amrich (Kontent Editor), Stephen Frost (Head of Production), and Steven Johnson (Producer).Mortal Kombat: Legacy Kollection AVAILABLE NOW!Steam: https://store.steampowered.com/app/3454980PS: https://store.playstation.com/concept/10013904Xbox: https://www.xbox.com/en-US/games/store/mortal-kombat-legacy-kollection/9PKVPJ0NHCTSSwitch: https://www.nintendo.com/us/store/products/mortal-kombat-legacy-kollection-switch/Physical available for preorder: https://atari.com/collections/mortal-kombat-legacy-kollectionJoin the Atari Club on Discord: https://discord.gg/atariclubFollow us:Digital Eclipse: https://twitter.com/DigitalEclipseStephen Frost: https://x.com/frostman007Dan Amrich: https://x.com/DanAmrichAtari:X: https://x.com/atariJason Polansky: https://bsky.app/profile/jaysofdoom.bsky.social

Episode 68 - Let's Play Total Chaos w/ Apogee
Surprising you like a good ol' jump scare, the Atari and Apogee partnership rolls on with a shadow drop of Total Chaos on PC and consoles yesterday, November 20th. This one comes from the one-man shop, Sam Prebble/Trigger Happy Interactive, and is a follow-up to the commercial and critical success, Turbo Overkill. What you may not know is that Total Chaos came first, starting as a Doom 2 mod before being remade in its current terrifying form. I'm not going to spoil any more than that here, as Sam was kind enough to join me and Apogee's Jeron Moore to dive into his game dev journey and all things Total Chaos.YouTube: https://youtu.be/eE3Ct44_wwYTotal Chaos AVAILABLE NOW:Steam: https://store.steampowered.com/app/2208350/Total_Chaos/PlayStation: https://store.playstation.com/en-us/concept/10016442/Xbox: https://www.xbox.com/en-us/games/store/total-chaos/9phtx5qz035tJoin the Atari Club on Discord: https://discord.gg/atariclubFollow us:Atari:X: https://x.com/atariBlueSky: https://bsky.app/profile/atari.comApogee:X: https://x.com/Apogee_EntIG: https://www.instagram.com/ApogeeEntertainment/Discord: https://discord.gg/apogeeSam/Trigger Happy Interactive:X: https://x.com/WadaholicDiscord: https://discord.gg/JZDaDUYBJeron:X: https://x.com/actuallyjeronIG: https://instagram.com/jeronmooreJason Polansky: https://bsky.app/profile/jaysofdoom.bsky.social

Episode 66 - Let's Play Blood: Refreshed Supply w/ Nightdive Studios
Back in 1997, Monolith released the classic FPS, Blood, on PC, introducing brutally violent content to critical acclaim and immediate cult status. 22 years later, Nightdive Studios worked their magic to bring a remaster of the game, Fresh Supply, to PC, reintroducing the title to a new generation. Fast forward to now, and they have announced one more go at the title: Blood: Refreshed Supply. What's new this time around? I brought on some key members of the team to answer that very question and why this is the definitive version of Blood for fans of the classic, the 2019 release, and new fans alike. Guests today are Grover Wimberly IV (Producer and Project Manager), Dustin Twilley (Game Designer/Producer), and Samuel Villarreal (Lead KEX engine programmer and project lead).YouTube: https://youtu.be/C6wwjrQCFpgPreorder/Wishlist Blood: Refreshed SupplySteam: https://store.steampowered.com/app/3884520/Blood_Refreshed_Supply/GOG: https://www.gog.com/en/game/blood_refreshed_supplyEGS: https://store.epicgames.com/en-US/p/blood-refreshed-supply-f8bb7cPS: https://store.playstation.com/en-us/concept/10016705Xbox: https://www.xbox.com/en-us/games/store/blood-refreshed-supply/9PD2QGLP9WJRJoin the Atari Club on Discord: https://discord.gg/atariclubFollow us:Atari:X: https://x.com/atariBlueSky: https://bsky.app/profile/atari.comNightdive Studios: X: https://x.com/NightdiveStudioNightdive Studios: https://x.com/NightdiveStudioGrover Wimberly IV: https://x.com/GroverWhimDustin Twilley: https://xcancel.com/BloodDeathwishSamuel "Kaiser" Villarreal: https://x.com/SVKaiserJason Polansky: https://bsky.app/profile/jaysofdoom.bsky.social

We have a crazy slate of games coming out. Some announced, some to be announced, but there are plenty of games to talk about that haven't been covered in the podcast yet. Those will be coming soon, so please allow us to slow things down a bit and catch up with Atari VP of Games, Ethan Stearns. It's been a while since he's been on the podcast, and he was fortunately able to join me to look back on this crazy year so far and look a bit ahead, covering all the events we've been to this year, some food talk, and, of course, some silly trivia personalized for Ethan, himself.YouTube: https://youtu.be/EHhoJ9kKJUoBubysy 4D Demo OUT NOW: https://store.steampowered.com/app/4032170/Bubsy_4D_DemoPreorder/Wishlist Mortal Kombat: Legacy KollectionSteam: https://store.steampowered.com/app/3454980PS: https://store.playstation.com/concept/10013904Xbox: https://www.xbox.com/en-US/games/store/mortal-kombat-legacy-kollection/9PKVPJ0NHCTSSwitch: https://www.nintendo.com/us/store/products/mortal-kombat-legacy-kollection-switch/Join the Atari Club on Discord: https://discord.gg/atariclubFollow us:Atari:X: https://x.com/atariBlueSky: https://bsky.app/profile/atari.comEthan Stearns: https://twitter.com/EdogLostJason Polansky: https://bsky.app/profile/jaysofdoom.bsky.social

Episode 64 - Let's Play Wizordum w/ Apogee
Back in April, Apogee and Emberheart Games released the killer boomer shooter, Wizordum, out of early access. Shortly thereafter, a partnership was formed with Atari and Infogrames to bring the title to consoles, which made its debut this week! Joining me this week are Primoz Vovk (Lead at Emberheart Games) and Jeron Moore (Executive Producer at Apogee) to discuss the title from its origin to release and everything in between.

Episode 63 - The New Voice of Bubsy w/ Sean Chiplock
Mascot platformers can be defined by their voice performers. Charles Martinet as Mario and Roger Craig Smith as Sonic, to name the two most prolific examples. From the first sound bites of Sean Chiplock as our wise-cracking feline hero, it was immediately clear that he was our Bubsy; The near-universally positive response since the announcement further punctuated that feeling. So to round out our streak of Bubsy podcasts, Sean was gracious enough to join me and Sam Brown (Atari Release Manager and Producer on Bubsy 4D) to talk about his journey to becoming a voice actor and what it was like to step into the role of our (in)famous Bobcat.YouTube: https://youtu.be/JYdiHmlk3s4Wishlist Bubsy 4D:Steam: https://store.steampowered.com/app/3237970/Bubsy_4D/Epic: https://store.epicgames.com/en-US/p/bubsy-4d-b4b94fGoG: https://www.gog.com/en/game/bubsy_4dPlayStation: https://store.playstation.com/en-us/concept/10016621/Xbox: https://www.xbox.com/en-US/games/store/bubsy-4d/9P82VZJSZWGSJoin the Atari Club on Discord: https://discord.gg/atariclubFollow us:Atari:X: https://x.com/atariBlueSky: https://bsky.app/profile/atari.comSean Chiplock: https://bsky.app/profile/sonicmega.bsky.socialSam Brown: https://bsky.app/profile/smugporky.bsky.social (https://bsky.app/profile/smugporky.bsky.social)Jason Polansky: https://bsky.app/profile/jaysofdoom.bsky.social

Golden Tee has been a staple of bars and arcades for decades, thanks to its inviting and intuitive trackball controls and pitch-perfect golf game feel.

Episode 56 - Let's Play Adventure of Samsara (w/ Ilex)
Atari's legendary title, Adventure, was the first of its kind and laid the groundwork for the future of game design. When Ilex, a small team in Brazil, showed Tower of Samsara to us for the first time, we were immediately captivated by its beautiful pixel art and animation and inspired by its mix of old and new gameplay hooks to create a unique metroidvania. Even more surprising was the opportunity to weave the classic Adventure into this sprawling epic, now titled Adventure of Samsara. We walk through the journey of the title from a failed Kickstarter to the impending release with Marcelo Rigon (CEO of Ilex, Creative Director, and Programmer), Gilerme Gaspar (Art Director at Ilex and 2D Artist), and Atari's resident Adventure Enthusiast, David Paige.YouTube: https://youtu.be/_39FhizV0NcWishlist Adventure of Samsara and play the demo:https://store.steampowered.com/app/1292460/Adventure_of_Samsara/Join the Atari Club on Discord: https://discord.gg/atariclubFollow us:Ilex Games:instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ilexgames/website: https://ilex.games/ Twitter: https://x.com/ilexgamesMarcelo Rigonbsky: https://bsky.app/profile/mrigon.bsky.socialtwitter: https://x.com/arendhillinkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/mrigon/instagram: https://www.instagram.com/arendhil/Gaspar:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/guilherme-gaspar-901002282/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ggaspar1138/Atari:X: https://x.com/atariBlueSky: https://bsky.app/profile/atari.comJason Polansky: https://bsky.app/profile/jaysofdoom.bsky.social

Things have been busy here at Atari. Real busy! Following a string of game previews, announcements, and releases - not to mention the things you DON'T know about - there was a gap in the schedule, and I needed to get creative. Thankfully, I rounded up a trio of guests to talk about some games and do some silly trivia. Joining me for this short and sweet episode are Sam Brown (Release Manager), Shah-Rukh Faridi (Marketing Coordinator), and returning champion Mark Perloff (Senior Producer).YouTube: https://youtu.be/u9RJiZFHG1sI, Rebel Game Jam: https://atari.com/pages/i-rebel-a-jeff-minter-game-jamWishlist/Preorder I, Robot:Steam: https://store.steampowered.com/app/2932910/I_Robot/Switch: https://www.nintendo.com/us/store/products/i-robot-switch/PS4/PS5:https://store.playstation.com/en-us/concept/10012198/Xbox: https://www.xbox.com/en-US/games/store/i-robot/9phf27sh4qc4Breakout Beyond AVAILABLE NOW!Steam: https://store.steampowered.com/app/3041770/Breakout_Beyond/Epic: https://store.epicgames.com/en-US/p/breakout-beyond-e31082Switch: https://www.nintendo.com/us/store/products/breakout-beyond-switch/PS4/PS5:https://store.playstation.com/en-us/concept/10013739/Xbox: https://www.xbox.com/en-US/games/store/breakout-beyond/9nkfrjlg0r17Join the Atari Club on Discord: https://discord.gg/atariclubFollow us:Atari:X: https://x.com/atariBlueSky: https://bsky.app/profile/atari.comSam Brown: https://bsky.app/profile/smugporky.bsky.socialShah-Rukh Faridi: https://bsky.app/profile/shahfaridi.bsky.socialJason Polansky: https://bsky.app/profile/jaysofdoom.bsky.social

Episode 51 - Missile Command Delta w/ Mighty Yell and 13AM
About two weeks ago, we unveiled a new take on the classic series, Missile Command. The teaser is just that, but there's so much more to say about the game! Fortunately, the team that worked on the title was kind enough to join me and talk through a deeper look at the game. My guests are Dave Proctor (Executive Producer on MCD), Tom McCall (Creative Director on MCD), and Mark Perloff (Senior Producer at Atari).YouTube: https://youtu.be/2f9pECQfzY4Wishlist Missile Command Delta:Steam: https://store.steampowered.com/app/2790160/Missile_Command_Delta/PS5: https://store.playstation.com/en-us/concept/10012612Join the Atari Club on Discord: https://discord.gg/atariclubFollow us:Atari:X: https://x.com/atariBlueSky: https://bsky.app/profile/atari.com13AM Games: https://bsky.app/profile/13amgames.comMighty Yell: https://bsky.app/profile/mightyyell.bsky.socialDave Proctor: https://bsky.app/profile/positivelaser.bsky.socialJason Polansky: https://bsky.app/profile/jaysofdoom.bsky.social

Episode 50 - Let's Play Bread & Fred w/ Sand Castles Studio
About two years ago, a small indie team released Bread & Fred on the unassuming masses. Starring two adorable penguins, the game became a viral sensation with its hilariously challenging gameplay that's been streamed to millions of viewers. On the heels of its success, Sand Castles Studio got to work on a free add-on for those looking for an even greater challenge. Dubbed The Lab, that update was released on March 7th. Just before that, I was able to wrangle the team together to talk with me about their indie developer journey and how the title blew up. The said team consists of David Lozano Sánchez (Programmer), Guillem Romero Martínez-Quintanilla (Game Designer), and Victor Valiente (Artist).YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UXn4mm8A_rUBread & Fred AVAILABLE NOW:Steam: https://store.steampowered.com/app/1607680/Bread__Fred/Switch: https://www.nintendo.com/us/store/products/bread-and-fred-switch/Join the Atari Club on Discord: https://discord.gg/atariclubFollow us:Atari:X: https://x.com/atariBlueSky: https://bsky.app/profile/atari.comSand Castles: https://twitter.com/SandCastlesStDavid: https://x.com/MasterAlpacaGuillem: https://x.com/GuillemRMQ Jason Polansky: https://bsky.app/profile/jaysofdoom.bsky.social
