Ep. 50 – Summer of Arcade: Asteroids vs. Missile Command Mayhem!
It’s the big 5-0! In Episode 50 of The Terrible Gamers Podcast, Kevin and Kyle are back at it with another blast from the golden age of gaming as our Summer of Arcade continues! This week, we're diving deep into two legendary Atari arcade classics—Asteroids and Missile Command.
Join us as we fire up the vector graphics and test our skills against endless waves of flying rocks and nuclear annihilation. From hyperspace jumps in Asteroids to frantically defending cities in Missile Command, we talk strategy, high scores, game design, and the cultural legacy of these iconic titles. Which one still holds up today? Which one made us rage quit? And more importantly, which one would YOU rather play?
If you're a fan of retro arcade games, classic Atari titles, or just love watching friends argue about which game is better, this episode is for you. Expect fun, chaos, and some truly terrible takes—because that’s how we do it on The Terrible Gamers Podcast.
