Merry Christmas and happy holidays from The Intellivisionaries!  We talk about our Christmas memories, and hear from listeners, as well as show regulars like Keith Robinson, "George", Alex (on Intellivision), Luke, The Odyssey 2, and more.  No game review this time around, but plenty here for holiday cheer!  Sit back with a glass of spiked eggnog and enjoy!

We review Coleco Donkey Kong plus DK Arcade and D2K Arcade.  We interview the head of Elektronite / Classic Game Publishers William Moeller.  And we interview Carl Mueller Jr. - programmer of the DK/D2K Arcade games.  We also have a listener interview with "Intelli-Virgin" Greg Polander, and get his thoughts on the Intellivision Flashback.  Of course Feedback, News and George are here too.

The Intellivisionaries - Episode 11.  A "deep dive" game review of Q*Bert, the arcade conversion.  We also have another "Questions For Keith" session, with Keith Robinson of Intellivision Productions, discussing the upcoming Intellivision Flashback console from AT Games.  Rick interviews listener & game reveiwer 'TrekMD' from Retro Video Gamer (UK forums).  And we have several guest podcasters offering their opinions of Q*Bert, including Chris Bidwell from Now You're Playing With Podcast, Ferg from The Atari 2600 Game By Game Podcast, William Culver from The ColecoVisions Podcast, and Dubstep Dad, Sweet and Aaron from Retro Obscura.  We also reveal the winner of the "Mr_INTV" AtariAge Intellivision giveaway contest.  And we introduce a new segment "Homebrew Highlight", basically a mini-review of a modern day Intellivision game.  Of course we have our usual news, listener feeback, mentions and strange drop-ins that Paul likes to do for some reason or another.  Enjoy!

In this special edition of The Intellivisionaries Podcast, we interview the four guys behind "Project-L".  If you don't know what Project-L is, download the podcast and find out - with guests William Moeller, Joe Zbiciak, Steve Orth, and 'Voltron'.

The Intellivisionaries - Episode 10.  Join us as we go "deep" into the dungeons of Treasure Of Tarmin / Minotaur.  We interview designer / programmer Tom Loughry.  We also interview Scott Nudds who is currently programming Boulder Dash for the Intellivision (coming soon from Elektronite / First Star Software), and William Moeller joins in for part of the interview too.  Rick gives us another programming segment, and we include our usual feedback, news and fun ("George" is back too).  See you on level 256!

*Note there are some audio issues with Tom Loughry's interview due to a bad line.  It was cleaned up as much as possible, but is not perfect.

The Intellivisionaries - Episode 9.  Another "deep dive" game review, this time it's Beauty & The Beast from Imagic.  We also have an interview with the programmer / designer Wendell Brown.  We chat with Scott Schreiber and Mike James from Retrogaming Roundup about Classic Gaming Expo 2014.  And we introduce a new segment "Questions For Keith", where we ask Keith Robinson of Intellivision Productions listener-submitted questions.  Of course we have our usual news, listener feeback and mentions, and we even "Say Pow!" in this one!  Huh?

The Intellivisionaries - Episode 8.  We take a "deep dive" into Sea Battle, have an interview with Blue Sky Ranger Dave Akers about his past and current Intellivision games, and also interview Ken Smith, programmer of Sea Battle (and other early Intellivision games).  Plus we have our usual news, listener feeback and mentions. Chris Bidwell from Now You're Playing With Podcast guest hosts, and Rick begins a new modern day Intellivision programming segment.

The Intellivisionaries - Episode 7.  We review all three baseball games: Major League Baseball, World Championship Baseball, and World Series Major League Baseball.  We also interview Intellivision baseball programmers David Rolfe and Eddie Dombrower, as well as listener Steve Herold.  And we have our usual news, feedback, mentions and music.

The Intellivisionaries - Episode 6.  We do our traditional "deep dive" game review; this time it's The Dreadnaught Factor from Activision.  We interview the programmer / designer of the game, Tom Loughry.  We also interview Kieren Hawken (aka "The Laird") from Retro Video Gamer in the UK.  And this month we have a special guest host, Kevin Savetz - author of "Terrible Nerd", one of the hosts of Antic: The Atari 8-bit Podcast, and an Intellivision collector.  And all the feedback, news and fun you've come to expect from our show is here too.

The Intellivisionaries - Episode 5.  We take a "deep dive" into the Intellivoice game "Bomb Squad", talk Intellivision with video game legend Tommy Tallarico, interview Blue Sky Ranger Keith Robinson of Intellivision Productions, and Mattel Electronics alum Joey Silvian.  Plus we have our usual news and listener feedback segments, and a lot more 'explosive' Intellivision fun!
