An Unlikely Pairing of Siliwood

TCW Podcast Episode 082 - An Unlikely Pairing of Siliwood   We take a look at the circumstances and leadup to what become known as the Siliwood Era.  We discuss how changing technology and an increased focus by certain video game companies on emulating blockbuster movies attracted the attention of the major media companies and set the stage for an unlikely alliance of Hollywood and Silicon Valley.  This pairing led to the interactive movie fad and also led to changes in retail that would alter the course of the video game industry forever.   TCW 042 Laser Craze: http://podcast.theycreateworlds.com/e/laser-craze/ Night Trap 25th Anniversary PC: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YBaW40NUCTU Sewer Shark: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vTdLjUn6y-0 Atmosfear: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rRMphkKF3M0 Defender of the Crown: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cvW6okgy4wA Errol Flynn Robin Hood: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BpqR6Ca-LL8 Defender of the Crown Opening: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AwTJn-rVYuE It came from the Desert: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w8LaMMSEs5Q THEM Trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v4URRp39XOo   New episodes on the 1st and 15th of every month!   TCW Email: [email protected]  Twitter: @tcwpodcast Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/theycreateworlds Alex's Video Game History Blog: http://videogamehistorian.wordpress.com Alex's forthcoming book will be released through CRC Press!   Intro Music: Josh Woodward - Airplane Mode -  Music - "Airplane Mode" by Josh Woodward.
