We end with Hiroshi Yamauchi being the first male ere to the Yamauchi line.

TCW Podcast Episode 152 - Grand Theft Auto 2 by 3
With the groundwork of the series laid down, we continue our look into the franchise of Grand Theft Auto. GTA 2 went to market during a transition phase with Rockstar, Take-Two Interactive, and DMA (Soon to be Rockstar North), sorting out who would deal with what. GTA 2 was a modest success, but it is GTA 3 that made Rockstar and Take-Two take off. The gritty storytelling, realism, and relatable real-world themes made GTA 3 a blockbuster hit. Further refinements to the system lead to the sequels GTA: Vice City and GTA San Andreas. Each expansion faced controversy, especially San Andreas with the infamous HOT COFFEE!

TCW Podcast Episode 151 - Grand Theft Auto 1
We start our look at the legendary game series Grand Theft Auto. A game series that had many influences that came out of the British PC market. The game may not have seen the light of day if it was not for developers and executives championing the game to BMG Interactive. With the help of a PR campaign to stir up false controversy that lead to a speech denouncing the game to the House of Lords, the game launched to modest success! Though the best is yet to come as Rockstar gears up to release Grand Theft Auto 2 and 3!

TCW Podcast Episode 150 - Gottlieb Part 2
In part two we look at the further development of Gottlieb as a coin-op company, and how they established themselves during the 50s through the 70's. Eventually acquired by Columbia Pictures. Gottlieb would start making small steps into the video game space. Though many inside the company still viewed themselves as a pinball company, the shrinking pinball market necessitated a change. When Columbia was purchased by Coca-Cola the shift into video games was made more of a priority. One of the notable hits of this time was the game Q*bert. A character that would even get a short run cartoon. Unfortunately with other failures in the video game space, and the collapse of the industry as a whole Gottlieb ceased to be in the mid 80's.

TCW Podcast Episode 149 - Gottlieb Part 1
We look at the company Gottlieb which was a major coin-op company founding during the roaring twenties, and rising to prominence in the great depression, and post war era. The company is most well known for pinball, and the many contributions to making it more than a gabling device. We follow the rise of the company up until the 1950s. Though not quite at the video game era yet, the background of the company does help dictate and shape how Gottlieb made its mark in video game history.

TCW Podcast Episode 148 - The Mysteries of Imagic
We look at the company Imagic. This company only lasted a few short years during the lead up to, and through the crash. The company is notable for innovative packaging, and creating games that pushed the graphical fidelity of the Atari VCS to new levels! They were also one of the first companies to use graphics on a computer to then be translated to code on a console. A feat famously used by Rare in the creation of Donkey Kong Country. Unfortunately through a lot of bad luck Imagic was unable to go public due to the Time Warner earnings report two days prior. This lead to the company's downfall.

TCW Podcast Episode 147 - Others in the Field Too
We look at the contributions of other in the field chronicling video game history, and trying to write perspectives on what we know at the time. To start we look at Gaming Alexandria which has become one of the major communities dedicated to preserving video game history, and has many contributors who work on a myriad of projects. We look at the work Ethan has put in between court cases, blogging, and as a consultant on "Arcade Dreams". We look at the work done by Kate Willært of "A Critical Hit!" Her work consists of blogs, videos, and twitter threads! She did fantastic research into the first Easter Egg in video games, women characters in games, and if working on more interesting projects. Finally we look at academia, and what they are doing in relation to Video Game History!

TCW Podcast Episode 145 - Revisions and Updates 3
Our sixth year anniversary! In this episode we look back at the podcast and correct some of the errors that were made in the past. First we explore the company Fun Games which was sued by Atari for making clones of Atari products using stolen equipment. The source and story of this is better told with new information that has come to light. Other new information includes the discovery that the 100 yen coin shortage in Japan was real! The circumstances around the shortage is a lot more complicated. The final major item was discovering the first game sold on a micro computer. This particular game was published as a book, and not on tape or magnetic media making it unique for the first game of this type.
