PATRON EXCLUSIVE: Epoch-02: Galaxian and Big Sports 12
🕑 Added 2022-10-28 11:56:00 +0000 UTCI have, as this month's exclusive* for patrons, the second entry in the saga of Epoch game console. I'm not sure how I manage to wring nearly 10 minutes of commentary out of each of these games, but here we are.
This episode features the sole peripheral Epoch ever produced for its consoles. And that means this episode also features me cradling a realistic-looking handgun, which is a strange sight.
Anyway... please to enjoy.
*For 18 months, per usual

For 'Galaxian', I recall that the diagonal asteroid attack and the Space Race-like sequence followed by docking are both elements of Taito's November 1979 arcade Lunar Rescue.

"It barely resembles real world soccer, since you're just kicking the ball without dribbling or passing." One of our UK viewers should make a joke about England in the 80s here.
