@alevan: You just add the RSS feed as if it was a normal podcast and if the app supports password-protected podcasts (I have had some trouble with apps "forgetting" the login, now using RSSRadio it works well, but the app is not great).

Reading through all of these responses, there are some seriously great posts in there. Kudos @dovetailed, @wrathofgod, @baal_sagoth, @bvork, @deachem, @yozlet, @irothtin, @elsbeth, @rpwll, @wandrecanada and so many more! Some really interesting and thought out stuff in there. Would there be any interest in forming a wiki editing "group" that focuses on these types of games?

I would add that while it is sad that many great games of yore are too quickly gone from our cultural consciousness, mediocre/bad games (broken, not fun enough, unpopular, ugly etc.) are almost immediately forgotten (who has heard of The King of Chicago, for example). Parts of those games might have been worthwhile or at least interesting (even if its just satisfying morbid curiosity). Maybe even if the game is still remembered, but only as a particularly terrible flop or disappointment. We tend to remember the names and stories around these failures, but rarely look beyond that. I remember reading a detailed analysis of E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial that was really enlightening with regards to how games are made, how they are marketed, but mostly also about how they work and effect us. I would love to see some stuff on, say, John Romero's Daikatana or Hellgate: London or other famous flops.
