Summary

“YOU CREATED A TWO MILE CRATER” A double game 'twofer' show, as we look back at the start of the so-called 'Golden Age' of arcade games and two titles depicting similar concepts with wildly different approaches. Leon, Brian, Chris Worthington and Tony touch down with Atari's 1979 Lunar Lander, a vector graphics-based sim of sorts. Then the crew turns its attention to the Japanese developed Space Invaders spin-off, Lunar Rescue from Taito - also from 1979. Accompanied by a couple of intrepid correspondents, we hark back to a time when the original moon landing was fresh in people's minds, and interactive digital technology was new and thrilling. http://media.blubrry.com/caneandrinse/caneandrinse.com/podcast/cane_and_rinse_issue_623.mp3 Audio featured taken from the Apollo 11 moon landing edited by Jay TaylorYou can support Cane and Rinse and in return receive an often extended version of the podcast four weeks early, along with exclusive podcasts, if you subscribe to our Patreon for the minimum of $2 per month (+VAT).
