In this exciting episode of the RetroNostalgia podcast, I talk about one of my favorite consoles of all time, the Turbografx 16! I'm joined by my guest Paul, a Turbografx owner during the early 90s, and together we discuss some of the details that made this system very special as well as its tumultuous lifespan in the US. We cover the origins of the system, go over its variations including the Turboexpress and Turbo Duo, and speak about the recent revitalization in the brand. From the virtual console on the Wii to the recent Turbografx mini, we explore how these efforts have brought the system and its games back into the limelight. Strap yourselves in for a great episode!

In this new episode, I take a look at video game magazines. I go over the sections that were usually included in them and how important these magazines were to an industry that was growing, sometimes too fast for its own good. I also go over some of the more popular magazines of the late 80s/early 90s and what ended up happening to them as the 2000s came and went. Join me in the brand new episode!

In this episode I'm joined by my guest Andre as I discuss the home media format that is Laserdisc. We go over the pros and cons of the format, and discuss what exactly kept the format from achieving major success. We also describe some of the places in the world where Laserdisc was actually moderately successful, and even had an HD variation way before Blu-ray was a thing! Join us in this exciting episode.
