This weeks crew: Webby, Nick

In this Patreon‑exclusive deep‑dive, we fire up the time machine and take a joyful plunge back into the golden age of Sega. From the iconic bleeps of the Master System to the 16‑bit swagger of the Mega Drive and the ahead‑of‑its‑time brilliance of the Dreamcast, we each run down our favourite Sega consoles, games, memories, and the moments that defined our childhoods.

It's a full‑on nostalgia fest — the kind that brings back the smell of fresh game cartridges, the excitement of renting a new title for the weekend, and the pure magic of discovering classics like Sonic the Hedgehog, Streets of Rage, Shinobi, Crazy Taxi, and so many more. Expect passionate debates, forgotten gems, hardware quirks, and the kind of retro love only true Sega fans can deliver.

Whether you grew up with a battered Mega Drive pad in your hands or you're just discovering the legacy of Sega's legendary hardware, this episode is guaranteed to get the memories flowing and the retro vibes buzzing.
