In ATARI BYTES episode 274, we're playing LASER GATES. Two guesses what this game is about.
Wrong! It's monkeys and gonads, obviously. (You gotta listen to the show to understand that.)

One day in April 2021, ATARI BYTES drifted into Data Age's 1982 game BERMUDA TRIANGLE and was NEVER SEEN AGAIN.
Episode 273 is the chronicle of that disappearance.
If you look up, you might see your host mooning you from the spaceship.
This week's short story: BERMUDA SHORTED
Thanks to Sean Courtney for the "Storytime" theme.

This week's ATARI BYTES episode, 272 for those scoring at home, is totally tubular (that's for you Gen Xers)
Or is it? We're playing the unfinished 1984 effort TEMPEST, which tries to translate the 3D tubes the action plays out on on the arcade screen onto our home screens. Listen to find out if it works. We also talk about Shakespeare and say the word "panties". A lot.

ATARI BYTES 271 revisits an old friend. A twitchy, large-nosed, profanity-obsessed friend who just won't just hold still for goodness sakes. We all have a friend like that. If you're not sure about that, it's probably you.
It's Q*BERT'S QUBES, the 1983 follow-up to the adorable arcade-er (I'm trying to make that a word. Help me out. I'll be rich!). Is the game fun cubed, or just for squares, man?
This week's short story: NOT THE CUBES YOU EXPECTED
Thanks to Sean Courtney for the Storytime theme.
