History
The original idea of the show dates back to when Scot Rubin first created the Internet-based radio show Game Time! on his All Games Interactive multimedia station in 1996 before co-founding G4. He continues the legacy with a new online daily podcast talk show titled "All Games Interactive" which episodes can be listened to by visiting the AllGames.com website and forums.
