Retronauts Episode 782: RCA Home Computing
When you're here, you're family.
Video games! They're fantastic and this podcast wouldn't exist without them. But you know what video games wouldn't exist without? Computers. Hence this week's episode which is more about hardware history than any specific software.
Host Kevin Bunch attended the Vintage Computer Festival East in New Jersey back in April and whilst on site he spoke to developer and expert Joyce Weisbecker to discuss the RCA Studio II, the 1802 microprocessor that made it run, and her family's history with that equipment. Please note that an sudden interruption forced Kevin and Joyce to relocate mid-conversation which impacted the audio quality.
Description: Watch out for VIPers! Kevin Bunch interviews gaming pioneer Joyce Weisbecker about her father Joe’s work on the 1802 microprocessor and its role in video gaming.
