On this episode of The Game Deflators Podcast, we sit down with absolute arcade royalty—the legendary voice actor Tim Kitzrow!
From yelling “He’s on fire!” and “Is it the shoes?” in NBA Jam to delivering brutal play-by-play calls in NFL Blitz, MLB SlugFest, and NHL Hitz, Tim’s voice defined the Golden Age of 90s arcade sports games.
We chat with Tim about the origins of his most famous catchphrases, what it was like working in the wild days of Midway Games, voicing classic pinball machines and his return to video game commentary in Mutant Football League. If you grew up pumping quarters into arcade cabinets, you do not want to miss this interview!
