Armchair Arcade Podcast – On Going Indie, Game Remakes, First RPGs, and More

Posted by Rampant Coyote on March 9, 2011

Okay, I really enjoyed hearing Matt go off on what an awesome time it is today to go indie and make your own games. While it’s not quite that easy (and I’m sure he recognizes this), he does offer a great perspective as someone who has interviewed many game developers from an era where they were almost all what we’d call “indie” today — but without the advantages of modern tools and online distribution. When you had to duplicate your own cassette tapes and disks and package them in Ziploc baggies.

The other segments were lots of fun too, talking about the use of games in medicine, Bill Loguidice’s first CRPG – SSI’s Phantasie, remakes of classic games (something which I never really thought I’d see…), and a service for die-hard Commodore 64 fan (I’m a fan… I loved that machine… but I haven’t really gone back to it other than to play a few games.)
