  • Always great

    No matter what topic Rob and Hughes are discussing, you can always count on them to make it entertaining. The topics they select are great and their discussions and banter feel like hanging out with old friends. One of the best retro gaming podcasts I’ve come across and one of my favorite podcasts period. Also, they have one of the most banging intro tunes. It’s seriously awesome. Check it out!

  • Like hanging out in your friend’s basement…

    You know the friend that had ALL the video games growing up? This podcast is like hanging out in their parent’s furnished basement playing games you never even knew existed while their mom makes you a grilled cheese sandwich and Jolt cola.

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Impossamole, The Magic Candle - Nate Peters
Q: Are there any upcoming events you're going to be bringing Doodle World to where people could play it?
Yes. Actually, we'll be at the ATG Expo in Waco, Texas on, I think, June 14th and 15th.
Aaron Nanto Interview (PCEngineFX)
Q: What was the mood at Xbox before it was released?
There were discussions about potential partnerships with Sega and excitement about the future, but no significant collaboration occurred.
Ask Us Anything
Q: What’s a crazy concert memory you have?
I once opened for Modest Mouse when their lead singer, Isaac Brock, tried to fight me after I corrected him on the name of a compilation we were both associated with.
Ask Us Anything
Q: What’s your favorite RPG franchise and why?
It’s tough to pick, but I really love the Final Fantasy and Legend of Heroes Trails series. They each have their own unique strengths and iteratively refine their gameplay over time, even if they have drawbacks.
Ask Us Anything
Q: What are your favorite aspects of retro video games compared to modern video games?
I really like how they are hardware constraint, so they had to make a fun game that plays well. Retro games have a simplicity and charm that they often can't mess up, which is refreshing compared to modern games that can be frustrating with bugs and poor design.
