  • Awesome show!

    This is a great show, head and shoulders above most other retro gaming shows. I was sad to see the dragon warrior part 2 isn’t out- anyone know if it will be released soon?

    I absolutely love this show and it has become my favorite retro gaming podcast. However, I got through all of the episodes within a week in early February and have been hungry for more Retro Records ever since.

    If you can, please keep uploading the great content, guys! We love what you do and really want to see more!

  • A great start for a new retro gaming podcast!

    A funny, entertaining and well researched look back at early NES releases. Having one host share first play impressions alongside commentary from those who played these titles back in the day is fresh and original. Looking forward to the future episodes!
