In this episode Rick and Chris talk through recent news in the Intellivision community while working out how to do this show without Paul's constant snarkiness. There's a Homebrew Highlight segment covering IntellivisionRevolution's Missile Domination releases and a bonus segment including the recording of news that was originally intended for episode 46.

In this episode we do a Deep Dive game review of Imagic's Atlantis! There's also an interview with programmer Patrick Ransil. In our new Author Interview (AI) segment, we interview Retro Gaming Round Up host and author "UK" Mike James about his book, Smoke & Mirrors. We also have a small tribute to James "Airshack" Shackel, who passed away earlier this year. And we have a cool listener audio submission from Kevin Braun. And there's Feedback, as well as a new Retro Hobby Projects from Rick, this time about repairing a Sega Dreamcast. And, Paul announces that he's stepping away from the show to pursue other interests, and Rick and Chris will continue on with a different format. Thanks for 10 years, folks!

In this episode, we have two recaps from two gaming expos: CORGS (Columbus Ohio Retro Gaming Society) in May 2022, and PRGE (Portland Retro Gaming Expo) in October 2022. Paul and Rick attended CORGS, Chris and Rick attended PRGE. Paul was supposed to go to PRGE, but his wife broke her arm and elbow, so plans had to be changed. You won't find our usual show segments in this one, and still no game review for Atlantis (perhaps the game review is elusive as the fabled city?), but you will get lots of Intellivision game talk, including expo pickups and new homebrews. Even George returns, although not necessarily in any relevant way. Enjoy!

And this episode also allows Paul to proclaim that he did in fact release more episodes in 2021 than in 2020, so there! Happy New Year from all of us at The Intellivisionaries Podcast!

In this special episode, Rick, Cmart and Paul talk about their adventures at the Portland Retro Gaming Expo 2018. It's chock-full of exciting Intellivision content, both old and new! The Blue Sky Rangers panel (Intellivision - A Legacy of Firsts!), which was moderated by Paul is also included. And there are tales of border crossings, Intellivision Day 2018, and something Rick knows nothing about but will soon. Oh, and our good buddy George is here too, still a bit bitter about not being invited to the expo. Maybe next year, George?
