The Atari 5200 Podcast

In this episode of the Atari 5200 Podcast... The Boys get together once again to spend their time and yours to talk about two games that are actually pretty good. Vanguard and Berzerk! We talk about the usual stuff about our forays into the retrogaming universe and such, but we finally get to have an episode where both games are bangers. We also take a trip down Memory Lane waxing poetic about tech that no one uses anymore (Mr. Microphone, Anyone?!?!?). Also, we give an overdue tip of the hat to the artists who created the art for the boxes and manuals for these games.  Intrigue! Action! One of the hosts fighting a ripping cold!
