On this rather festive Thanksgiving episode of THE ATARI VCS PODCAST, ‘The Jameel & Cranberry Sauce Incident,’ JAMEEL w/ JD VIDEO GAME PRODUCTIONS (Super Star Shooter 16, Super 3D Maze 16) is back to discuss his latest game, Super Forbidden Ritual 7800, with BALLISTIK COFFEE BOY (and his co-host FUJI.) ! This is a game programmed for the Atari 7800 that was intended to be released on the Atari VCS the week of Halloween, 2026. Sadly, the game never made it to the VCS in time as it was announced the day after our interview that the VCS would be ‘sunsetted’ on Feb 1, 2027 and Atari support would end. (Despite earlier reports no more updats or games would come, some have managed to make their way onto the VCS store.) In this interview, we discuss Jameel’s latest foray into a new game, AI’s role in game development, his feelings about the Atari VCS as it stands now, that Angry Video Game Nerd & the Atari Jaguar scene, and more! PLUS: In INTERMISSION (around 27:00), FUJI reads a poem about Thanksgiving and Atari named, aptly, An Atari Thanksgiving! As our festive gift to you! AND: ‘News Bites,’ (at 47:55), a new section where BCB discusses the latest Atari news and throws in some analysis for good measure, in his own good time, of course. As for how the cranberry sauce fits in, you’ll have to wait until the end…
Happy Thanksgiving & enjoy this awesome holiday episode!
