Big Red Barrel Podcasts

As some of Big Red Barrel's oldest fogies, Dan, Tim and Coleman are partial to some of the finer-aged systems of the past.

2025 marks 40 years since the launch of Commodore's Amiga 1000 (a system we've all grown up with), so we've decided to show love with a run-down of our favourite games.

Editor's note: We're all on our Christmas/New Year break, but we've left you with a handful of special shows to keep you company while we're gone. See you next week on January 17.

Oh my…

Following our yearly traditions, Dan, Tim and Coleman like to try to list out their picks for the games you should be paying attention to over the year and then see which one of Coleman's got delayed or cancelled.
