Retro Rehab SuperPod Network

This week we are joined by Matt Storm of Fun and Games Podcast (and many many other things!) to try and work out some childhood trauma and talk about games that made our little kid brains have meltdowns. From fear of drowning in underwater levels, to controller biting difficult bosses - this is Retro Rehab.

We are very excited to have our first guest this week, as we welcome the legendary Vimm of Vimm's Lair! We talk shop about the impact that the Delta Emulator on the App Store has made on the site, as well as go over the history of the timeless website many of us have come to know as THE rom site. We also dive into Vimm's favorite game console and reminisce on his most cherished video game memory. Come for the SNES RPG nostalgia, and stay for the intriguing history of one of the oldest rom sites on the planet!

From Secret of Mana and Earthbound - to Arcana and Twisted Tales of Spike McFang - This is Retro Rehab.

THE WAIT IS OVER - The Greatest Collaboration of All Time is finally here. Blow the dust out of those rusty ol' cartridges, and get ready for a chaotic good time. In the debut episode Gerry and Aaron break down their top 3 consoles ever, and go over highlights and must play games on each.
