Show Notes

This time we present a double-long, double-wide, twin-brother-scale episode of all-out Christmas madness!
First, we have an audio review of "The Atari 50th Anniversary Celebration", followed by a knock-down-drag-out discussion of international scale of its merits with Tony Longworth from the UK.  Then we pull out all the stops and feature a full hour-long interview with one of the main men behind the stunning Atari 50th Celebration, Mike Mika.   You will laugh, you will cry, and you will never look at the name "Mrs. Cripps" the same again.    Oh, and Merry Christmas from The Vertical Blank.

All music, video production. writing and game play by Jeff Fulton with help from  Steve Fulton unless otherwise noted.
