  • Love these guys ! Great retro game talk

    The hosts are real friends with real video game history together and it really comes through. I enjoy the balance of lighthearted conversation and organized info and research on each game they cover.

    I finished all the NES episodes in their good sized back catalogue (my fave system) so now I’m going back and listening to the episodes on games from the other systems.

    I wish I had more friends like this to talk and play retro games with! This has become one of my favorite game podcasts right ... more
