Podcast: I Got Nothing or New Beginnings
There comes a time when self reflection begs the needs to switch things up. This episode is Fred and Jam looking into just that. For the opening portion of the show they talk about ideas and format changes for the Gaming History 101 podcast (and of course want your feedback). The back half is dedicated to all the retro gaming news as we begin prep for the new format. All of this makes more sense if you listen. Feedback is welcome at contact@gaminghistory101.com
Podcast: The Tales of Lord British
As Fortengard best puts it in the episode, Richard Garriott is one of the first (if not the first) writers as video game creators. It’s for that reason that the Ultima series stands out, not to mention the drastic direction change of the middle three “avatar” games. Jam can’t make it so Fred joins guest Fortengard to discuss the legacy of “Lord British” and the unique franchise he created.
***PLEASE NOTE: We are aware of the echo effect added to Fred in this episode. It has been fixed and should not appear next episode. Sorry.***

Please send us your own top 10 for the community episode in 2 weeks.
Podcast: Emulation, Version 2.0
When Fred first started Gaming History 101, he was quite opposed to emulation and of course the piracy that comes with it. Now, five years later, things are a bit different for a several reasons. Since Jam got stuck trying to get home from holiday, Fred flies solo to discuss his new take on emulation, why he feels this way, and most importantly his list of the best emulators to use when playing almost any game from your past.

Sony came out of the gates swinging with a barrage of new games, sequels, trailers, and plenty of hints at what VR will be like with Playstation this October.
