In 1973, Billy Joel released his breakthrough album introducing the world to his signature style of storytelling. More than an album, it’s an intimate journey through the lives of everyday people and experiences the artist himself personally knew and lived. In this Backtrack, we explore the raw, poetic narratives and musical genius of Billy Joel’s Piano Man.

From movie theaters to living rooms, martial arts were all the rage during our GenX youth. Many of us took up nunchucks, learned a bit of kung fu, and, for a moment, believed we could be the next Bruce Lee or Chuck Norris. In this Backtrack, we reminisce about the pop culture phenomenon that was the Martial Arts Craze!

From homemade costumes to pillowcase candy hauls, Halloween as a GenX kid was something special. It was a simpler time with more freedom, but also prone to real-world scares that have led to a more watered-down Halloween today. In this Backtrack, we’re looking back at our memories of the GenX Halloween experience!

When cable TV first came out, most people got it for the clear reception but not necessarily for any additional content. That changed when HBO hit the market. Being able to watch full movies without commercials revolutionized TV and showed what cable could be. It was like coming out of the dark ages for us Generation X’ers!

When the Atari 7800+ was announced, we also got word that a handful of masterful titles - formerly independent homebrew games by developer Bob DeCrescenzo - were being adopted by the mothership as official Atari games, including a sequel to Crystal Castles, Bentley Bear's Crystal Quest.

Jon sits down with BobD to discuss his history with Atari, his start in homebrew development, and the experience of having his indie games christened as authorized games.
