Jeffrey and Alex do an amazing job of walking us listeners through the in-depth history of video games. On par with a PBS documentary, Alex and his encyclopedic knowledge of video games shines lights on forgotten video game history.

You ability to tell a store is fantastic and always interesting. Thanks for all these podcasts, it’s obvious this is a labor of love from these guys.

Always informative and in depth. These guys know their stuff in detail and it shows. One of my favorites.

I’m a life long gamer. Born into an Atari 2600 and healthy collection of all the greats of the time. I’ve been fortunate enough to work for the arcade division of SEGA and worked in the family entertainment industry. Listening to Alex and Jeffery cover so much of gaming history and by default much of the early electronics of the time makes me very happy. I love hearing the stories of how this industry rose from humble coin op amusement to the worlds most profitable media. They do such a great job of digging deep to bring these stories to life. A must for anyone interested in the history of video games.

I’ve been listening for about two years and my god have I learned about ENDLESS amounts of stories, people, companies, games, challenges, loop holes, discoveries, breakthroughs, everything. I feel so nostalgic for everything they talk about and I’ve come to appreciate video games SO much more from listening to the stories behind the people and endeavors that made them possible. I love how the podcast jumps between Europe, the US, and Japan, and how it’s across all consoles and platforms, discovering how people find themselves creating worlds. Moreover, Alex is very meticulous about making sure to clear the air with the facts, and making clear what is absolutely true, what is false, what is still not too sure, and being honest about his findings, his personal interviews, and his fellow historians. And of course the show would not be possible without Jeffrey, who I love hearing just as much :) If you like video games at all and have any sort of interest in hearing their backstory, listen to ANY episode!

Not only is this podcast consistently jam-packed with historical facts and anecdotes from video games past, but the hosts’ voices are so soothing, they make some legitimately boring stories immensely enjoyable to listen to. I’m not even kidding—these guys make the dullest of topics worth listening to. Highly recommended!

I’m a college professor and have been studying video games for years. This podcast is fantastic - it’s meticulously researched, and fun to listen to. Alex really does his homework for each episode, interviewing industry figures, reading annual reports, you name it. Alex and Jeffrey are passionate about games, and each episode is a delight to listen to.

If you like gaming history this is for you. What an outstanding detailed account of the history of so many companies!!

Beautifully put together and in depth looks into the wonderful and exciting history of video games! Another wonderful resource to consume fully as I continue my personal venture into the lifestyle of game design. I can’t wait to make it through the entire back catalog this year while still keeping up with the mew episodes. Keep it up! 😋

I am amazed that Alex has been able to interview corporate leadership-present and deceased-to capture their perspective on why their corporations succeeded or failed. Kudos to Alex and his co-host Jeffrey for bringing this info to our ears for the last 4 years. Congrats on the debut of a your first Volume in bookstores and on Amazon.

This is head and shoulders above anything else I’ve seen related to the history of video games.

These guys did deep into video game history from angles that aren’t usually covered - like the financial and retail aspects of the industry. Their knowledge is formidable and when they cover a topic, like the video game crash of the early 80s, they cover it so thoroughly that the listener is left feeling like they were a part of the events being discussed. Great podcast - highly recommended!
