I hop on a plane to San Francisco very, very early tomorrow morning for a weekend jam-packed with Retronauts stuff. Our first podcast recording session of 2017, for one... which also is our first podcast recording session of the newly independent Retronauts venture. This is very exciting, obviously.

I've already called for listener mail on two of my topics — portable Castlevania and Final Fantasy IV — and now here's the solicitation for one final episode. Sunday afternoon, we'll be talking about Activision. The early days of Activision! Say, 1979 through 1986. The Atari 2600, Intellivision, and Commodore 64 years.

So if you have any fond memories of those games — ya know, stuff like Pitfall! and Ghostbusters — give me a shout at jparish [at] retronauts [dot] com. By, say, Saturday. We cool? Cool.
