The Intellivisionaries Podcast

Finally, another episode!  The guys talk about the affect the Sprint is having on the community, there's an interview with Ed Mello of Opcode, and a game review of Naughty Boy by Opcode.  I'd say "We're Back!" but I'm not sure that's appropriate at this point... 00:00:00 - Welcome / "Intellivisionaries Theme (2023 remix)" by Paul 'Nurmix' Nurminen 00:30:04 - Feedback 00:45:38 - Sprint Discussion 01:33:39 - Interview: Ed Mello 02:17:23 - Deep Dive Game Review: Naughty Boy 03:12:42 - Wrap Up / "Treasured (2023 remix)" by Paul 'Nurmix' Nurminen 03:14:24 - Outtakes / "Joyful Rhythm Walk Funk" by LightBeatsMusic, pixabay

After a SERIOUSLY LONG absence the guys are back to discuss three games from Cote Gamers: Pyramid Warp, Norseman, and Norseman II.  We also discuss some out-of-date news items and have a not-very-timely discussion about stuff we were collecting/doing back in August of 2025.  But hey, it's an episode! 00:00:00 - Welcome / "Intellivisionaries Theme (2023 remix)" by Paul 'Nurmix' Nurminen 01:00:54 - News part 1 01:26:25 - Interview with Russell Hofer and Caleb Garner from 8-Bit Widgets 02:31:17 - News part 2 03:18:11 - Deep Dive Game Review: Pyramid Warp 04:02:38 - Deep Dive Game Review: Norseman 04:34:03 - Deep Dive Game Review: Norseman II 05:49:03 - Wrap Up / "Treasured (2023 remix)" by Paul 'Nurmix' Nurminen 05:50:15 - Outtakes / Lo Fi Sentimental Jazzy Love, Dvir Silverstone, Pixabay

In this episode Rick and Chris talk through recent news in the Intellivision community while working out how to do this show without Paul's constant snarkiness.  There's a Homebrew Highlight segment covering IntellivisionRevolution's Missile Domination releases and a bonus segment including the recording of news that was originally intended for episode 46.  Doesn't sound like nearly 3 hours of content, does it? 0:00:00 - Opening, "Intellivisionaries Theme (2023 remix)" by Paul 'Nurmix' Nurminen 0:36:20 - "Squilla" by Carl Mueller Jr. 0:37:13 - News 1:33:17 - Homebrew Highlight: Missile Domination, Missile Domination DX from IntellivisionRevolution 1:50:14 - Bonus News segment missing from episode 46 2:49:22 - Wrap Up / "Treasured (2023 remix)" by Paul 'Nurmix' Nurminen 2:51:28 - Outtakes / "Unlock Me" by Prazkhanal (Pixabay)

In this episode, we have two recaps from two gaming expos: CORGS (Columbus Ohio Retro Gaming Society) in May 2022, and PRGE (Portland Retro Gaming Expo) in October 2022.  Paul and Rick attended CORGS, Chris and Rick attended PRGE.  Paul was supposed to go to PRGE, but his wife broke her arm and elbow, so plans had to be changed.  You won't find our usual show segments in this one, and still no game review for Atlantis (perhaps the game review is elusive as the fabled city?), but you will get lots of Intellivision game talk, including expo pickups and new homebrews.  Even George returns, although not necessarily in any relevant way.  Enjoy!   0:00:00 - Turn on the TV and fire up the Intellivision! 0:00:05 - "Intellivisionaries Theme" by Nurmix 0:01:30 - Paul: Episode rundown 0:03:00 - "Back Again" by Ceaven 0:04:07 - CORGS 2022 Recap 1:06:21 - Steve C promo 1:06:42 - Carol Shaw promo 1:06:53 - PRGE 2022 Recap (part 1) 1:45:05 - Intellivisionaries promo 1:45:13 - Dr. George? 1:48:56 - Ray Kaestner promo 1:49:07 - PRGE 2022 Recap (part 2) 3:02:53 - Wrap Up / "Treasured" by Nurmix 3:06:35 - Outtake
