WE FIGHT FOR THE USERS! In Episode 2 of Season 5, we invite James, Johnny, and Jerry--proprietors of ALAN-1 and curators of the fine games at FLYNN'S RETROCADE in Utah! You may have seen ALAN-1's products around town. They're the guys that have been selling the most beautiful reproduction Star Wars Yoke for a few years now. Additionally, James, a dentist by day and an arcade enthusiast all the rest of the time runs FLYNN'S RETROCADE in Utah. As you may have already heard, our favorite arcade in the country, Grinkers, sadly shut its doors due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Steve, its proprietor, ended up working with ALAN-1's James who is now the lucky owner of Grinkers' entire collection. Tune in for this one. There are LOTS of stories and we'll have some good video to show you of their warehouse as well.

YES! IT'S THE SEASON PREMIER OF RCADERADIO! And for our first guest, we've got none other than Doug Macrae! You saw him on the Netflix documentary HIGH SCORE. He's the former MIT alum who founded GCC, creator of SUPER MISSILE ATTACK and CRAZY OTTO (Ms. Pac-Man), and an avid geocache hunter! Doug joins us on November 5th, 2020 at 7:15pm central to talk about operating arcade and pinball at MIT, founding General Computer Corporation, lawsuits, and a gender change for a game that would end up being one of the top earners of the Golden Age. Set your reminder and TUNE IN! -=-=-=- Doug Macrae was born on January 18, 1959 in Summit, New Jersey. He has been married to Julie Ann Macrae since September 28, 1997. He's got a cool license plate. In 1981, he, along with John Tylko, and Kevin Curran formed General Computer Corporation (GCC). GCC was sued for their creation of Super Missile Attack by ATARI. In addition to their work on Super Missile Attack, the team--along with Steve Golson, developed "Crazy Otto", an upgrade to Pac-Man that would eventually come to be known as Ms. Pac-Man. Later, GCC would come become a printer company and develop computer peripherals. (Not necessarily in that order.) Fun fact: Doug Macrae named the fourth ghost in Ms. Pacman after his sister, Sue.

Howard Scott Warshaw (aka HSW), is an accomplished producer, author, psychotherapist, and former game designer. He designed and programmed the Atari 2600 games Yars' Revenge, Raiders of the Lost Ark, and E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial. Over the years, E.T. would be blamed for the demise of the video game industry and create an urban legend turned true regarding the disposal of the overproduced cartridge. HSW recently appeared on the HIGH SCORE documentary which aired on Netflix in August 2020 and stars in his own episodic documentary: Once Upon Atari. Please join us for our Season IV finale as we pick Howard's brain about his time at Atari and what he is up to now!
