A podcast featuring the giants of retro and indie gaming in conversation. The best of the 70s, 80s and 90s - with the people who made it happen and those who are bringing it back.
The Vectrex Mini Kickstarter campaign is live today - and it’s already more than 3x its original funding target.

I guess we should stop being surprised about the popularity of retro gaming console launches!

New full size Amiga 1200 recreation to be launched next year 🎉

There have been so many hardware releases this year, from Spectrum Next to the special edition 64 - but this is the one I’ve been looking forward to.

Save states or no save states? That's one of the most common questions asked about brilliant roguelike game, Roguecraft DX.

Ricki Sickenger, one of the dynamic duo from @badgerpunch.com, explains why they made the decision they did for the @evercade.co.uk game.

What's your take?

Never played Metroid Zero Mission before, but what a game!

No wonder a genre was half named after it.

Would love to do a podcast episode on the Metroid series, if there are experts or anyone around who worked on it.
