Retro Game Squad Podcast

In this chilling episode, we brave the elements and venture out into the frigid world of games featuring ice, cold, & snow, squad members Greg and Amanda join us in a gut-busting conversation about our exploits in gaming retail, and Jon's depravity reaches new depths as he tells us that he sincerely enjoys the crap-fest that is Cliffhanger.

Embrace the dark side as we explore the universe of Star Wars gaming, Jeff begins his descent into 32X madness, we talk about some of our favourite hidden content in games, and reveal the sinister origins of ass-fighting.

In the mood to cause destruction on a massive scale, we climb into the cockpit and take on the world of Mech games, conduct our first-ever interview with Craig Bumbaugh of Wheeling & Dealing Industries to find out what it's like to be in the business of retro game sales, and Jeff hypes the Atari Jaguar at every opportunity.

In our mega-sized anniversary special, Alex exacts his revenge upon Jeff and Jon by making them play some of his favourite games that are tough-as-nails (while throwing some challenges into the mix), Jeff comes to the realization that he's never played many of the classics, and we discuss the importance of boss battles.

Big money and big prizes await as we play video games based on some of the most popular game shows of all time, come clean about our gaming habits and rituals, picture how a Predator might host a game show, and Alex starts planning his revenge.

In this pun-filled episode we batter-up and try our hand at the world of alternative sports, go over the history of console online gaming, and get the weed-whacker out to take care of Jeff's creepy moustache once and for all.

It's time for some serious action as we take a look at the early days of first person shooters on consoles, discuss our opinions on the next generation of consoles and emerging trends in modern gaming, and shove as many Flintstones chewables vitamins into our mouths as possible.

Get ready to lock-on and fire as we blast into hyperspace and discover the world of shoot-'em-ups, our new squad member Greg joins us to discuss how aging changes your perspective of gaming, and we explain how playing Zanac is akin to being in an abusive relationship.

Dracula be damned, in this episode we forge into the 8-bit shadows of the Castlevania franchise, Jeff and Jon fail at playing "Name That Tune", and the crew wishes for a plate of wall chicken.

Our crew suffers relentless torture as we look at some of the cheesiest content reviewed on the show yet. We delve into the lost world of digitized graphics, ponder why movies based on video games are so terrible, and Alex makes a profound confession from his past.

Saddle up as we explore video games set in the Wild West, 8-bit and 16-bit style!  We also discuss the past and present states of mobile & handheld gaming, and Jeff gets harassed for having never heard of the Lone Ranger.

This month, we burn rubber as we play some of the pixelated racing games of yesteryear, discuss which games tarnished or outright ruined a franchise, and Alex laments being subjected to playing crappy games.
