Customer Reviews
Podcast Comfort Food
A consistently solid podcast covering retro gaming from a predominantly British perspective, which I've long found highly entertaining and informative. The semi-recent addition of an American host has helped flesh out the well-structured discussions even further, from adding further variety to the Game Club episodes to contextualizing the differences between the vastly different gaming markets in the 80s. The crew also maintains a wonderful working relationship with a number of other podcasts, allowing for lots of great cross over and cross promotion opportunities, which has exposed me to just so much great stuff.
The sparodic release schedule may be off-putting for those that prefer predictably scheduled releases, but inevitably there's going to at least be a Game Club episode each month and with that, the incentive to join the Discord community and play along with everyone else thoughout the month.
Brings back old memories
As an avid retro games collector myself, and originally being from Ireland, I grew up with all of the systems that you guys talk about. American retro gaming is completely different, but I'm glad to have found this podcast and I really enjoy it on my commutes to and from work - it even inspires me to take the time and break out my old Amiga 1200 and Spectrum to play!
Time Machine to my childhood!
Have always been a nostalgia junkie, but only recently decided to start listening to the community and found this great podcast! The thing that kept me listening and also to start checking out the forums and website is the genuine nature of everyone involved. Absolutely love the specials, especially the Speccy and Amiga ones as those were my machines of choice! Also as an expat living in the US, its nice to hear the range of accents again! ;-)
