A franchise that's delighted us over the years has seemingly come to an end but questions need to be asked about the latter titles. Dylan is asking these questions because he needs to cathart and cathart hard.
The whole series is discussed including the ill-fated Silent Hills and with more than a few home truths for Konami...

Adrian and Dylan's meandering chats have proven so popular we've let them waffle on about the Commodore Amiga, vital in both of their gaming upbringings. Memories aplenty plus lots of facts about the hallowed machine and in particular how much modern PC architecture owes to it...
Do you feel the Amiga deserves more respect in the gaming industry?

Continuing our theme of letting our guys do whatever the hell they want, we've let Keith share with you his love of gaming music once more in what we hope will become a regular series. This time he goes through his favourite Mega Drive/Genesis boss themes and it is a cracker. Some you will have heard, and some you won't.
Has he nailed it? Has he missed some of your faves? Is this worth doing again? (we think so!) Contact us at the usual place and let us know!
Here are the full music credits - do not scroll down if you want to be surprised on the pod!

The Swedish supremo was one of the original (and legendary) Team 7 dev team who merged with 17-Bit Software to become what we know as Team 17 today! His expertise brought the Alien Breed games to life. He is a true Amiga champion and kindly had a long chat with our Adrian about his long and illustrious career.

We've let Rob off the leash this week and he duly comes up with the goods. No less than thirty amazing game ideas in the hour, for your approval (or disapproval). The picture gives you a bit of a clue as to one of them but we'll not ruin the surprise any further. Enjoy!

Black Mirror's Bandersnatch has taken the retro gaming community by storm but to say it's divided opinion amongst critics is an understatement. We discuss Stefan's story with spoilers galore; the inspiration for the episode (Choose Your Own Adventure books); and the importance of being able to choose your own destiny in video games. We also discuss Adrian's chat with Choose Your Own Adventure creator Edward Packard (which you can read in full here) which may or may not have led to Netflix being sued for improper use of the IP. Oops!

Yep, you read it right, we managed to record and release 100 episodes without killing each other! Hooray!! Lots of quizzes to highlight how little we know about ourselves and the nonsense we come out with. We also have a good chat about the ideas that a lot of you kindly gave us through social media for our next 100 podcasts.

To release a game, or to not release a game? That is the question. Well, certainly for Blizzard back in the mid-nineties. Their foray into the adventure genre didn't exactly go to plan. The idea, to expand more on the Warcraft universe, was a good one. The game's formulation was not. Adrian is here to tell Rob and Dylan all about this fascinating story that transcended the globe. What do you mean Russia and Korea can't work together???
Check out our follow-up Q&A with Warcraft Adventures' consultant Steve Meretzky here.

A little more thought provoking chat this week... Just kidding! Although it is a good point to discuss: can we review objectively the first ever games we played growing up, even if they were awful? I think you know the answer, but listen as we tie ourselves in knots. And then some more.

Full Throttle was released in 1995 and was one of the last adventure titles for LucasArts. The point-&-click game was made by the legendary Tim Schafer and starred Mark Hammill and Roy Conrad. The game also got a remaster in 2017. Adrian gets on his motorcycle and goes... Full Throttle!

It's the two-year anniversary of the podcast and also the four-year anniversary of the site so we thought we'd get back to shouting things at each other. This week, Dylan asks the question, "What is Retro Gaming?", whilst discussing the popularity of our little hobby and is/when is this all going to end?

Street Fighter The Movie was released in 1994 and starred Jean-Claude Van Damme and Raul Julia. The movie was based on the classic Capcom fighting games and received very mixed reviews. We are here to look at the films development, actors, storyline and give our personal opinions. We also look at Street Fighter - The Movie, the game! Yes, very inception, we know!
It's about time we had a chat about films based on our favourite video games. So, erm, we've chosen to start with Street Fighter (thanks to Rob). Listen as we heap nothing but praise on this absolute masterpiece. Just kidding.

Dylan and Adrian's meandering chat about the Atari Jaguar CD and Sega (Mega) CD peripherals they picked up a few months ago went so well they decided to give us an update! Rob and Keith joined this time round to mainly look confused. To give you a taste of what's to come, Adrian's had time shuffling around jumbled up music videos whilst Dylan still doesn't know what to make of Sonic CD...
