Retro-games & Archaeogaming - John Aycock

What the Tech? is a podcast powered by the Computer Science Department of UCalgary. Here to deconstruct complex computer science concepts, and explain what the tech’s going on?

Our guest today is John Aycock, an associate professor at UCalgary whose research focuses on security and retro-games. In this episode, we talk to John about the retro games he studies. We also cover what the tech is up with archaeo-gaming - an unexpected bridge between archaeoeology and computer science.
