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.

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...

Golden Axe was once one of SEGA's most celebrated franchises. The arcade brawler spawned loads of sequels and helped put the SEGA Mega Drive (Genesis) on the map. Enjoy our rundown of the series and some amazing signing from Rob...
Our "Halloween special" isn't really that spooky. Although, Rob's intro may give you the shivers. He's here this week to talk us through a franchise that all of us have had experience with and confirms, as we've all suspected, that it pioneered a lot of game mechanics prevalent in today's gaming.

Errr, the short answer is, we have no idea! But have a great time pretending to know what we're talking about! In one of our laziest podcasts ever, Dylan attempts to put some structure into this wafflefest because he didn't do his homework. Naughty naughty.
What are the key ingredients when making the perfect platforming game? Is it Sonic's speed? Mario's jumping ability? Robocod's extending body? Or even the coolness of Zool? Well, Dyl is here to answer this vital question.

This is big for us. Dave Perry literally commentated our video gaming childhood and he's kindly stopped by to answer our many, many questions. His time at GamesMaster and Games World has been well documented but to hear these stories directly from him is both enlightening and at times, saddening.

Clock Tower is probably the scariest game you've never played. Why? Because it's damn expensive that's why! Through the wonders of emulation Keith was able to bask in the glow of this fabled game, and now we all want a go. Let him take you on a journey but please, don't let him ever take you up a clock tower...

Besides being the owner of Awaken Games, William Anderson was the chief level designer of some of Virgin Games' biggest titles in the mid-90s including Cool Spot, Global Gladiators, The Jungle Book and Disney's Aladdin! Adrian somehow managed to track him down so it's an absolute honour to introduce their chat about the old days and what he's up to these days...

Rise of the Robots promised so much, but delivered so little! Or, is the fighting game simply misunderstood? Dyl is here to defend this much maligned video game (often dubbed as the worst game ever made). Let's see if he can convince you...
The much derided one-on-one fighting game brings back different memories for Dyl and he's ploughed the archives to find the article on the A1200 version which brought him so much joy in the Christmas of 1994.
In the first of what we hope will be a regular feature of much beloved "bad" games, listen as he fails miserably to convince everyone that it was a great idea and actually not that bad...

Racking up hundreds of millions of sales/downloads worldwide, to say GTA is a phenomenon is an understatement. It seems unthinkable that it had relatively lukewarm beginnings in its PS1 debut, a top-down 2.5D game concocted by DMA Design. Dylan talks the gang (minus Rob and Kev) through those humble beginnings and how what was viewed as an average title put in place the building blocks for possibly the largest franchise in gaming history...
