In this episode we review the Mattel Electronics game Royal Dealer.  Cmart (Christian Martin) joins us again, as does George, spreading some holiday cheer in this December / Christmas / Holiday episode.  We interview former Mattel Electronics 'retail merchandiser' Ken Stefancic, and have our usual helpings of Feedback and News.  There's plenty here, even for those folks who don't care about card games (like Paul)...

In this episode we review the Atarisoft game Pac-Man, and the IntelligentVision game Ms. Pac-Man.  We also interview both programmers; Mike Winans (Pac-Man) and Carl Mueller Jr. (Ms. Pac-Man).  Cmart (Christian Martin) joins us again, as does George, and a surprise guest during News.  We're gearing up for the Portland Retro Gaming Expo 2016, but not all the hosts could be present for all aspects of this episode.  Due to that, and the fact that it's almost Halloween as this episode is released, there may be some unusual occurrences in the timeline...

What happens in the Reynolds Warehouse, stays in the Reynolds Warehouse.

In this episode, we review two games; Coleco Zaxxon and ColectorVision Space Raid.  We hear a bit about what went into Space Raid from the designer / programmer, Oscar "Nanochess" Gutiérrez.  We also have an interview with the creator and one of the hosts of 80 of the 80s Podcast Clay "DJ CK1" Kriese (he's also a big Intellivision fan).  And our usual Feedback, News and George (who STILL seems to be a bit upset with the Atari 5200 Super Podcast for some reason).
