Episode 87: Indiana Jones

Vito, @8bitbarrister, joins me this week in his long requested episode to revisit the movies and games of Indiana Jones! Indy's first adventure in gaming was way back in 1982 with Raiders of the Lost Ark on the Atari 2600 and we're uncovering the history and chronicling some of his greatest, and in some cases, worst journeys. An archaeological aural tour wouldn't be complete if we didn't talk about the films either, so we dive into the history of the series and revisit most of the games that tried to adapt those stories. We cover most of the games across each generation including 2024's truly incredible Indiana Jones and the Great Circle by the immensely talented team at MachineGames.    Find Vito on Instagram @8BitBarrister Email us: LegionGamingPod@gmail.com [LegionGamingPod@gmail.com] Instagram: @LegionGamingPodcast

Episode 86: Duke Nukem 3D

Come get some! This week we're hailing to the king and uncovering the history and impact of 1996's Duke Nukem 3D. Duke originally started with a couple of side-scrolling platform shooters and once Apogee saw DOOM in 1993, they realized it was time to bring him into the world of 3D. From there, they renamed themselves 3D Realms and eventually released one of the earliest examples of an immersive first-person shooter based on familiar real world locations. We'll also talk about how Duke's signature personality came to be and how it's just as important to the game as its interactive and expansive levels.    0:00 - 27:00: Catch up and what we've been playing 27:28: Duke Nukem 3D   Email us: LegionGamingPod@gmail.com [LegionGamingPod@gmail.com] Instagram: LegionGamingPodcast

Episode 85: The Launch of the NES

For episode 85 we're taking you all the way back to 1985 and uncovering the story of the launch of the NES! As one of the greatest and most influential systems of all time, Nintendo's first home console revitalized an industry that almost entirely collapsed on itself in the early 80s. This week, we're chronicling everything that led up to the launch of the NES including Atari's rise to console dominance and the crash that ultimately impacted how Nintendo positioned its system as an entertainment system the whole family can enjoy.    Email us:  LegionGamingPod@gmail.com [LegionGamingPod@gmail.com] Instagram: @LegionGamingPodcast [https://www.instagram.com/legiongamingpodcast/]

Episode 84: Die Hard (with Vito)

This week, Vito (@8BitBarrister on Instagram) joins me in revisiting the original Die Hard trilogy of movies and chronicling many of the games that have been adapted from the franchise. Die Hard is among the most iconic action movies ever made and spawned a surprising amount of games beginning with the NES in 1992, a pair of iconic 32-bit releases with Die Hard Arcade and Die Hard Trilogy, and up to a disastrous and troubled Gamecube release in Die Hard: Vendetta. This series is one of our favorites so come out to the coast, we'll get together, have a few laughs and talk about the history of Die Hard games!     Email us:  LegionGamingPod@gmail.com [LegionGamingPod@gmail.com] Instagram:  @LegionGamingPodcast @8BitBarrister
