Sprite Castle 005: California Games

This week’s game is awesome, radical, and totally tubular — it’s 1987’s California Games by Epyx! Also on this episode I talk about how you can become the honorary “King of the Castle” each episode. Listen closely!

If you would like to play along, you can find links to download Vice (a Commodore 64 emulator) along with all the games played on Sprite Castle by clicking on the downloads tab at the top of the page. Next episode we will be covering Break Street by Creative Software.

YDKF Episode 157: Printer Extravaganza

Listen. I know this sounds like a terrible idea for a show. It’s not as bad as it sounds, I promise. Just wait until you hear about all the fun I used to have printing things out with Print Shop!

Note the Rambo printout behind my head (1987). This is the large wood desk my dad built that I mentioned in episode 156.

YDKF Episode 156: Every Computer I Have Ever Owned

Okay, so it’s not really every computer I’ve ever owned, but it’s every computer I’ve ever owned and actually used. My fellow hoarders understand the difference.

YDKF Episode 155: Cassettes

Seasons Greetings, Happy Holidays, Merry Christmas, and Happy New Year! On the first You Don’t Know Flack of 2015 I talk about my history with cassette tapes. C’mon, it’s not as boring as yet another 24 hour Christmas Story marathon.
