Sir Dreamstate ,

Video Games and Beer - What else is there?

Eric, Cody and Tim are just flat out entertaining. Great personalities, fun banter, great games and reviews, and a huge swath of retro systems make each show worth listening to. Also, while not a big beer drinker myself, I am always interested in what new and intriguing beers these guys discuss. Keep up the great shows and thanks for the fun!

Silver Rat ,

THE retro gaming podcast

Eric and Cody do a brilliant job of entertaining, informing, and reliving the good ole days of gaming. Their product reviews are informative and help keep even the most active retro gamer in the loop on the cool new action in the scene. Their beer reviews are pretty good too!

Killahcode ,

Dudes discuss old games with beers.

What isn’t to love? I feel like I am one of the hosts simply talking about games at a table over a few drinks. I find the guys rather clever and fun, definately sharing my sense of humor...and more importantly my love for retro games from all eras. Atari, Nintendo, Sega Satrun, and Ps4. Also computers such as the Commodore 64, ZX Spectrum, TRS-80 and Amiga! So much great content!
