I am heading back to 1977 to take a look at the original titles for the Atari VCS. I have been a lifelong Atari fan and collector and while my top games are not from the first year of the console, I am very much intrigued by the idea of a time when the console only had 9 titles. It would take me a while, but eventually I would get to… [Listen](https://mcdn.podbean.com/mf/web/vnq9tua3vg3d9ivk/retroist-podcast-episode-369-atari-vcs-1977.mp3) ## [McDonald's McCrescent](https://www.retroist.com/p/mcdonalds-mccrescent) _2026-08-03 · Retroist · The Retroist_ McDonald's had a great idea for a new sandwich, they just chose the wrong time to sell it. ## [July 2026 Monthly Update](https://www.retroist.com/p/july-2026-monthly-update) _2026-08-01 · Retroist · The Retroist_ Listen now | Purple Berets, Milkshakes, and Tallyhawk! ## [Retroist SilverHawks Podcast](https://www.retroist.com/p/retroist-silverhawks-podcast) _2026-07-31 · Retroist · The Retroist_ Listen now | Lode Runner was a big game in the 1980s, but it still feels like it gets left out of the larger conversation in retro gaming. ## [Wilton Cake Decorating Yearbooks](https://www.retroist.com/p/wilton-cake-decorating-yearbooks) _2026-07-27 · Retroist · The Retroist_ All the Cake Pans Without Any of the Baking or Cabinet Space ## [Retroist Bad News Bears Podcast](https://www.retroist.com/p/retroist-bad-news-bears-podcast) _2026-07-24 · Retroist · The Retroist_ Listen now | The greatest American sports movie ever made.

I was put on a T-ball team that seemed to be assembled from the kids nobody else wanted, and we were terrible. We never got great, but we improved and somehow eventually managed to win a few games, and got the award we were dreaming of. That was enough to make us feel like champions. When I later watched the Bears,… [Listen](https://mcdn.podbean.com/mf/web/kmdjsfn9c6f4k8qv/retroist-podcast-episode-368-the-bad-news-bears.mp3) ## [Colorforms](https://www.retroist.com/p/colorforms) _2026-07-21 · Retroist · The Retroist_ From a New Jersey bathroom wall to millions of toy boxes. ## [Retroist Podcast Episode 367 (World Cup '94 Memories)](https://retroist.podbean.com/e/retroist-podcast-episode-367-world-cup-94-memories/) _2026-07-11 · Retroist Retro Podcast_ I want to start off by saying I don’t know much about soccer or as I think most of the rest of the world calls it football. But with the World Cup back in the United States I thought this would be a nice opportunity to talk about my time working security at the World Cup the first time it was played in America back in 1994. I was very young at the time, but it was great job to get. It might not… [Listen](https://mcdn.podbean.com/mf/web/fr73w4644hypb68h/retroist-podcast-episode-367-world-cup-94-memories.mp3) ## [Retroist Podcast Episode 366 (Action Park)](https://retroist.podbean.com/e/retroist-podcast-episode-366-action-park/) _2026-06-19 · Retroist Retro Podcast_ I start this podcast episode by talking about my own trips to Action Park. I was so excited to go as a kid when I visited and got to go because it was close to where my uncle lived in Northern New Jersey. My mother was not a big fan of amusement parks unless they were connected to Disney, and she had started reading enough about Action Park to be worried. My uncle did not have the same concerns,… [Listen](https://mcdn.podbean.com/mf/web/3eitpam9xi46nepp/retroist-podcast-episode-366-action-park.mp3) ## [Retroist Podcast Episode 365 (Perfect Strangers)](https://retroist.podbean.com/e/retroist-podcast-episode-365-perfect-strangers/) _2026-05-29 · Retroist Retro Podcast_ I begin this podcast episode by talking about the strange timing of television in our lives. Sometimes a show arrives at just the right moment, and for a while it feels like part of your weekly routine. Then you get older, your habits change, and without really deciding to, you stop watching. Years later, you come back to it and realize there was a whole stretch of the story you never saw. Perfect… [Listen](https://mcdn.podbean.com/mf/web/ggqsa33nhj2fy6n4/retroist-podcast-episode-365-perfect-strangers.mp3) ## [Retroist Podcast Episode 364 (Game Genie)](https://retroist.podbean.com/e/retroist-podcast-episode-364-game-genie/) _2026-05-15 · Retroist Retro Podcast_ I first saw the Game Genie at a friend’s house just after Christmas in 1991. We were doing the usual thing, seeing what everyone got, trying out games, handing controllers back and forth. Then he brought out the Game Genie and plugged it into the Nintendo. The second I saw what it could do, I wanted one of my own. It was that simple. If you spent enough time with games, you knew their rules pretty… [Listen](https://mcdn.podbean.com/mf/web/rkrex49yyucatpzx/retroist-podcast-episode-364-game-genie.mp3) ## [Retroist Podcast Episode 363 (DeLorean)](https://retroist.podbean.com/e/retroist-podcast-episode-363-delorean/) _2026-04-24 · Retroist Retro Podcast_ There were a few cars that could stop me in my tracks when I was a kid, and the DeLorean was near the top of the list. We had one in my town, parked outside a dentist’s office, and just knowing it was amazing. It was not something you expected to see in everyday life. It looked like it had landed from somewhere else, all sharp lines and brushed metal, like the future had somehow ended up next to… [Listen](https://mcdn.podbean.com/mf/web/eb78khngxd46v2cj/retroist-podcast-episode-363-delorean.mp3) ## [Retroist Podcast Episode 362 (Back to the Future the Animated Series)](https://retroist.podbean.com/e/retroist-podcast-episode-363-back-to-the-future-the-animated-series/) _2026-04-10 · Retroist Retro Podcast_ Back to the Future didn’t feel like a property that I expected to be turned into a cartoon, at least not to me at the time. By the time the animated series arrived, my interest in Saturday morning television was already starting to slip. I had not entirely left it behind, but I was no longer meeting it with the same excitement I had a few years earlier. That made this show an interesting one for… [Listen](https://mcdn.podbean.com/mf/web/vs4xv2p5dt7jddzt/retroist-podcast-episode-362-back-the-future-the-animated-series.mp3) ## [Retroist Podcast Episode 361 (Back to the Future Part III)](https://retroist.podbean.com/e/retroist-podcast-episode-361-back-to-the-future-part-iii/) _2026-03-27 · Retroist Retro Podcast_ Back to the Future Part III had a different job to do. Part II had ended on a cliffhanger and sent everybody out of the theater with their heads spinning, but the third film had to bring everything back down to earth, or maybe more accurately, out to the Old West. It was ending a story people had gotten very attached to and it had to do that without losing the sense of fun and invention that made… [Listen](https://mcdn.podbean.com/mf/web/d6566fhe3hnn5yq3/retroist-episode-361-back-the-future-part-iii.mp3) ## [International money transfers (Sponsored)](https://crawlproof.com/a/7ggflkuxovpM) _2026-03-27 · **Sponsored**_ Send money to other countries and manage multi‑currency balances online. ## [Retroist Podcast Episode 360 (Back to the Future Part II)](https://retroist.podbean.com/e/retroist-podcast-episode-360-back-to-the-future-part-ii/) _2026-03-13 · Retroist Retro Podcast_ Back to the Future Part II had a lot to live up to. The first movie was already huge, and by the time the sequel showed up people were ready to see Marty and Doc again. This was not just another follow up. It felt like an event. Audiences had been waiting to find out what happened next, and the movie gave them a future full of flying cars, weird gadgets, and, most importantly to a lot of us,… [Listen](https://mcdn.podbean.com/mf/web/ntunyak7erndwf3m/retroist-podcast-episode-360-back-to-the-future-part-ii.mp3)
