1. EPISODE 47: SKY DIVER William Pepper 19:59

This week on the show, we plummet into the abyss and hope the parachute opens.

It’s like life, really.

Our focus is Atari’s 1979 port of the class arcade game SKY DIVER. As you plummet to the ground from a zooming plane hoping to hit the tiny landing pad, you’ll wish you had that golden parachute. That’s dumb, of course, since a gold parachute would be way too heavy and you’d crash to the ground like a bag of wet sand. Maybe it’s best if you just stay in the plane and order another drink.
