Jason and Derek are as fun to listen to as the retro video games they are talking about. If you enjoy video games and fun, I cannot recommend this podcast enough. To the Nerd Cave!!!

I barley play video games anymore, but listening to these dudes solves that problem. Just, a killer show!!!
Big fan of the podcast. I’ve listened to almost every episode in a matter of a few weeks. Love the format of the show. I’m a huge Super Nintendo fan and collector, so of course I’d love to see more reviews of those games. Keep up the good work on entertaining us retro nerds!!!
I love this podcast! It is mostly about retrogaming stuff and always has great discussion point and a fun review of a game at the end. The guys have a great time and you can tell they are really into the stuff they are covering!
If you are into old Nintendo, Sega or any other retro games, check this one out!
