Show Notes
Finally another woman on the show. In a break from COVID-19 (and our usual sausage-fest) we managed to get Xyla Duval to join us for an episode! Proprietor of the now closed Hyperspace arcade in Lakewood, and before COVID-19, she decided to pull up stakes and move back to her home town Las Vegas with visions of opening her arcade there. Hyperspace was one of the first retro arcades in CO! We talk to her about what that was like, what she's doing now--and what she plans for Hyperspace in the future. Bryan and Xyla also share an (un)common love for Exterminator which is continuing to be a dead horse that is repeatedly beaten... again. and again. Original air date: Apr 30, 2020

Howard Scott Warshaw (aka HSW), is an accomplished producer, author, psychotherapist, and former game designer. He designed and programmed the Atari 2600 games Yars' Revenge, Raiders of the Lost Ark, and E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial. Over the years, E.T. would be blamed for the demise of the video game industry and create an urban legend turned true regarding the disposal of the overproduced cartridge. HSW recently appeared on the HIGH SCORE documentary which aired on Netflix in August 2020 and stars in his own episodic documentary: Once Upon Atari. Please join us for our Season IV finale as we pick Howard's brain about his time at Atari and what he is up to now! Original air date: 09.10.20
