Lock and load, people! This week’s game is Commando, and I also talk a little about the recently released updated version Commando Arcade SE as well. Commando was released in 1985 and the Special Edition was released in 2015. How ’bout THEM grenades!?

Officially this week’s game is Jumpman, although we also give Jumpman Junior a shout out as well. Both games were released by Epyx for the Commodore 64 in 1983. If you wondered why Jumpman was collecting pumpkins (like I did when I was a kid), you should listen to this episode.
Oh dear. It appears I recorded an episode using my SX-64 and somehow lost the cassette! On this episode I grab the portable mic and head out to the garage to dig through all of my retro junk in hopes of finding it. What all will we find out in the garage? Tune in and find out!
On this episode of You Don’t Know Flack I talk about MAME, the arcade game emulator. I talk about some of the different types of computer and devices I play MAME on (including things like PCs and the Raspberry Pi), some of the different controllers I use, and touch on some of the advantages of playing MAME on a computer over building a MAME cabinet. I think about half of this information has appeared in other episodes of YDKF, but I’ve had MAME on the mind and so this is what came out. The sub-theme of this episode is, “enjoy your hobby the way you want.”
It’s spring in the Midwest and that means it’s tornado season. On this episode of You Don’t Know Flack I talk about what it was like growing up in Tornado Alley and my experience with two devastating tornadoes in Oklahoma on May 3, 1999 and May 20, 2013.
Ready, set, HUT! On episode seven of Sprite Castle, I play Accolade’s 1986 classic football game 4th and Inches. Or as people in Europe call it, “American Football.”
Forget Breakin’, forget Beat Street… this week’s game is it’s 1984’s Break Street by Creative Software! Get your parachute pants on and get ready for some vicious street battles.
