Lost Joystick Network

Each episode is entertaining weather you agree with the rankings or not. I enjoy the updates, the information on the games and the often funny sound clips. Keep up the good work gents.

This is a very enjoyable podcast listen if you’re into retro games. The hosts are delightful. I especially enjoy Mike because he’s just so genuinely passionate about games. You can tell that he truly loves everything about games from researching to playing to collecting to discussing and on and on and on. He’s definitely not one of those fly by night ‘investor’ types who flew in on the wings of wata and forever tainted the scene with their bad ponytails and market manipulation. I was also thrilled to learn that my favorite retro gaming instagrammer @8bitsupremacy is a contributor. The presence of someone with over 2k instagram followers who was also featured in the seminal documentary Rarity truly elevates this cast well beyond the upper echelon of gaming podcasts into a stratosphere of its own. You might ask, “he’s so popular and influential, does he bring the voice of the wata investor into the mix?” Absolutely not! Not him nor anyone else. No. No, my friends. There is none of that nonsense here. LJN is a refuge from everything wrong with retro gaming because LJN represents everything RIGHT about it. So put down your joystick and give this hot boys a listen. After all, they’re the second best retro gaming podcast But watch out Collector’s Quest. They’re coming for you.

In a world of indie VG Podcasts, it is hard to distinguish yourself, but LJN does just that! Good audio, good episode length for passing time at work! Stuff to aspire to as a fellow indie retro podcaster!

Mike chided me for not leaving a review. I love the show, and I’m not biased because I’m not RetroGE. I love participating in the Twitch chat but I also miss the part when RetroGE is on (for some reason) and have to go back and listen to that part in the Twitch playback. My 1 critique is that I need to get a dedicated microphone to improve sound quality. (oops! I meant to say “he needs to get a new mic…) I also like to re-listen to the full podcast when it drops. My favorite part is listening to RetroGE’s part, and think “I wish I would have made a joke about [x] on the podcast”. Then I do, and I think “that was clever of me. I’m very funny”. … I mean, he thinks that, not me, because we’re different people. In summation. I’m not RetroGE. I need a new mic. And I’m very funny. Respectfully, John Y
