The latest Retronauts Micro arrives in two delicious flavors...

...audio flavor, and video flavor.

Q*Bert is such an abstract, visual game, it would seem sort of ridiculous not to include images while discussing it, right? So, for this week's Retronauts Micro, I've upgraded the mini-podcast to a mini-video as well.

Though of course, the audio version remains for you purists in the audience.

Moving forward, I hope to produce video versions of all my Micro episodes. Bob seems to have a good thing going with his mixtape episodes, so I imagine those will remain audio-only, but my own productions tend to be less inspired. Thus, I'm fancying them up with visuals. If I have time (ha!) I'd also like to go back and rework my older Micro episodes into videos as well.

Episode Description

Journey back in time to 1982 and the sassiest mascot character ever to cuss up an arcade: Q*Bert. And if this episode seems a bit brief, well, be sure to check out the video version on retronauts.com or usgamer.net!

The music in this week's audio version comes from Q*Bert 3. It's not very good music—it's actually kind of annoying!—but what can ya do?

As a reminder, the Retronauts project is made possible through Patreon! I also have posted some of the original podcast cover illustrations up for sale, if you'd like to give someone the gift of slightly amateurish video game watercolors this holiday.
