Howdy, Zengineers,\n\nThis week we\u2019ve got our most popular guest, back for another romp down memory lane. Yes, Mike Rosolio returns to discuss the history of Video Games with us. There are some secret reveals, but I can\u2019t remember if they are so secret that they weren\u2019t mentioned in the show. If they are, they\u2019ll be cut. If they\u2019re not, then you\u2019ll hear them. What a cliffhanger? Is that the right phrase? I don\u2019t think so.\n\nAnyway, this week we chase down some fun memories discussing our own experiences with video games over our lives. All three of us are part of an age group that really grew up with video games as they were emerging as a global force. When we were very young, they were still only for the most cutting edge tech nerds. Now, everyone gets to be addicted to them.\n\nMike brings some real depth to this conversation as he\u2019s not only the greatest player of video games we know, but he\u2019s also a major history buff. We chase down some of the major developers and artists in the video game business world world, discuss Mario, Nintendo Power, weirdly over-sexualized characters from Soul Caliber, and the increasing and current moral complexities that modern games encounter.\n\nAs always, it\u2019s a great convo with Mike, and we hope you enjoy listening as much as we enjoyed talking. We know we do... like listening to ourselves.\n\xa0Ya know what I mean. Yeah. We do. Endless loop. Loop.\n\nSupport the show: http://support.zengineeringpodcast.com\nVisit our website for more episodes: https://zengineeringpodcast.com\n\nCheers,\nAdam & Brian\nShow Notes\n\n Nintendo Power: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nintendo_Power\n Ninja Gaiden Intro: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jCnZtUS4tCw\n Shigeru Miyamoto: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shigeru_Miyamoto\n Final Fantasy V1 Famous Opera Scene: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pe3pGU9jcag\n Legend of Zelda, Breath of Wild: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1rPxiXXxftE\n Play Tetris, free, online: https://tetris.com/play-tetris\n\n\n--- \n\nSupport this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/zengineering-podcast/support
