Episode 23 - A Conversation With Atari's Space Invaders Champion Rebecca Heineman
Manage episode 329913563 series 3299449
In 1980, Atari held a tournament to determine the best player in the nation on its 2600 port of the arcade sensation Space Invaders. The tournament was won by a Los Angeles teenager who went on to change the landscape of video games. We're joined by Rebecca Heineman to hear her stories of the world's very first esports tournament.
We'll also be discussing how the Xbox Series S outsold the PS5 in Japan for the first time since 2014, how Activision Blizzard employees have finally formed the first major North American games union, and Sega's admission that it’s targeting high review scores for Sonic Frontiers.
