| The Vintage Gamer Special #04: Origins 2008 Interviews | 40:35 | 07/31/2008 | At long last, the annual Origins episode of The Vintage Gamer. As this is the third year, this officially makes it a cherished tradition. Unfortunately (or maybe fortunately) there was no podcasters panel so instead I went around and did some interviews at some of the small press booths. A big... |
| The Vintage Gamer #33: Illuminati | 37:30 | 05/23/2008 | Oh my stars and garters, it’s another Vintage Gamer! This time I cover the 80s conspiracy game, Illuminati. Lie to your friends, stab them in the back, all to take over the world (sounds like Diplomacy — or a bizarre version of Lifeboats). All this, plus some Vintage Gamer news and... |
| The Vintage Gamer #32: Chess Variants | 1:05:53 | 05/20/2008 | And so The Vintage Gamer returns to its regular yet irregular schedule. In this show I spend over an hour talking about one of my secret loves: chess variants. I talk about games of the past, games from other countries, and some other unusual variants. (and this barely scratches the surface).... |
| The Vintage Gamer Special Episode: Tic-Tac-Toe Champion | 6:04 | 04/01/2008 | The Vintage Gamer begins its triumphant return with a special interview episode with the Tic-Tac-Toe Champion of the World. If that’s not enough, we have a new sponsor! And the usual intro and outro music. So yes, it’s a chock-full episode. Show... |
| The Vintage Gamer #31: Nuclear War | 1:01 | 08/28/2007 | Back from the abyss with an actual game review show. This time I talk about the darkly humorous game Nuclear War, designed by Doug Malewicki and published by Flying Buffalo, Inc. I also cover what’s been happening with me over the past few months, discuss some recent gaming news (vintage... |
| TVG Special #2: Origins 2007 Board Game Podcasters Q&A | 1:08:25 | 07/14/2007 | It being the second year in a row, I now present the traditional recording of the gaming podcasters panel. The panel this year was organized by Scott Nicholson, and featured board game podcasters. Sorry about the delay on this — I used two recorders to get full coverage of the panel so... |
| The Vintage Gamer #30: Interview with Eric Goldberg | 1:02:07 | 05/24/2007 | After an even longer hiatus, I’m back — at least for the moment. This week I have an interview from GDC 2007 with another gaming luminary, Eric Goldberg of Crossover Technologies. We talked for forty-five minutes about his history in the gaming industry — covering wargames,... |
| The Vintage Gamer #29: Interview with Greg Costikyan | 40:35 | 03/19/2007 | After a long hiatus, I’m back. This week I have an interview from GDC 2007 with gaming luminary Greg Costikyan of Manifesto Games. We talked for half an hour about his history in the gaming industry — covering wargames, tabletop RPGs, and his later work in online and independent... |
| The Vintage Gamer #28: Tales of the Arabian Nights | 41:26 | 01/31/2007 | Back to board games with this episode, where I do double-coverage by talking about both another paragraph-based game and another Eric Goldberg game. The game is Tales of the Arabian Nights, originally published by West End Games in 1985 and republished and revised by Edition Erlkonig in 1999. ... |
| The Vintage Gamer #27: The Fool’s Errand (VG) | 25:30 | 01/09/2007 | As it’s been a while since I’ve done a pure computer game, I decided to do another blast from the Macintosh past. This time the game is The Fool’s Errand, designed and created by Cliff Johnson, and originally published by Miles Computing. It’s a puzzle game that should... |
