  • Gaming nostalgia at its finest

    A belter of a show, I stumbled on this little gem whilst searching for a double dragon related podcast. I found you guys and was hooked. The topics brought me back to my childhood, visiting the video shops early 90s, trying to find 20p coins for the arcade machines that greeted me on entering, only to be met with the crowd gathering round the cool kids dominating the machines literally and figuratively, epitomising winner stays on. Sometimes watching was better than playing and in this case, li... more

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Kevin Bayliss interview (Rare legend)
Q: Can I talk about Battletoads for a little bit? Because Battletoads is an iconic series of games. It's regarded actually as one of the hardest games on the NES. But what was that like? Did you have full control designing these characters? Or was it your responsibility to come up with these characters and what not?
As I mentioned, those frogs and toads in my back garden, we wanted something which was going to be our flagship character. So I took, and I did karate myself with my friend, and then we all thought after playing International Karate Plus and Whaley Exploding Fist, that we were International Karate Plus characters. And then I thought, well, I'll call these guys the Amphibians.
Ryoichi Hasegawa (SEGA of Japan & Sony Producer) Interview
Q: Do you have a favorite SEGA character?
I have a fondness for characters from the game Sakura Taisen, especially the tech-savvy girl character.
Ryoichi Hasegawa (SEGA of Japan & Sony Producer) Interview
Q: What does it feel to have your name credited in iconic games?
I am very proud to see my name in games like SEGA Rally Championship and Ecco the Dolphin.
Ryoichi Hasegawa (SEGA of Japan & Sony Producer) Interview
Q: What was the first game where you were given a lot of responsibility, kind of like producing?
The first one is definitely Ecco the Dolphin, as it was the first game ever localized for the Japanese market.
Scott Miller (Apogee) - Interview
Q: Did you ever start working on a game idea that was never released?
Definitely, we had some really great game ideas that I was really excited about, but there was a big market crash in 2008 or 2009 that wiped the whole company off the map.
