EPISODE 4: RIVER RAID

  1. EPISODE 4: RIVER RAID William Pepper 15:02

Episode 4 is up! Old Man River, that Old Man River…He says, “Keep the noise down!” What noise? EXPLOSIONS! This week’s game is the 1982 Activision game RIVER RAID. It has jets. It has helicopters and fuel depots. Boats and bridges all over the place. And they’re all blowing up…Thanks to you. I’ve been playing Atari games for 30+ years, but I’ve only had this one about a week. AND IT’S AWESOME. Where has this thing been all my life? And yet, such is the nature of this podcast that we have to ask, “Sure, blowing up stuff is fun, but WHY?” And so we do. Take your Dramamine and hop aboard.
