Worth it or Worthless is a bi-weekly retro gaming show. We collect retro games (typically from the NES era up through the PS2 era), take off our nostalgia tinted glasses and decide if they’re good by today’s standards and whether or not they’re worth the price of admission. Every episode, we talk about what the game does well, what the games doesn’t do so well, and the things that are just plain weird.

Please keep going

Is this podcast worth it? (Large dramatic sigh) I don’t know.. Maybe……. Maybe it’s solid. What would I pay for it? My gut says $2 but I could see myself paying $3. What you should do is see if it goes on sale on the switch

Love it

Really got me into retro game collecting! I’m 14 so it’s great to be able to learn about great games that i wasn’t aware of before

cobrahhh ,

Look forward for this podcast every month

These two give so much back to the gaming community. They are seriously the best and will get you to want to play these games they are reviewing. Definitely add them to your library!
