On this episode of The Atari VCS Podcast, I begin a multi-part series titled 'Best of 'That Atari Show,' featuring Atari VCS devs, some legendary, some indie, some new, some that have been around for a few decades. Jani Penttinen (now with Utopos Games) was a guest early on in episode 35 back in March 2023. In this interview, Jani discusses his original game, "Utopos," made for the Atari ST back in 93, to today, where he has released "Guntech 2" on the VCS as well as other gems! The Covid-19 pandemic also had a huge impact upon his career.

Welcome to the Atari VCS Podcast! In episode 4 for November 2025, I tackle 'Gravitar: Recharged' on the Atari VCS, an absolutely brilliant & beautiful game in its own right. Yes, it came out over like 3 years ago but we still adore it! A great sign of its longevity. Featuring the wondrous 8-bit infused sounds of Megan McDuffee, one of retro gaming's biggest up and coming indie composers. (River City Girls & RCG 2 music composer, etc.) Here, I review listener feedback about the game (Brian Jonson, Gio Malani & Grace L), read some articles from Game Rant, IGN & Atari concerning the game & game tips, and Fuji's usual quips of madness. Enjoy it! Great game! Play it today! Where do you place on the current global VCS leaderboards?Got feedback? Send it to: theatarivcspodcast@outlook.com and I'll play it on the air! Make sure to include the handle or name you want to be known by or known as. Keep it family friendly!
