Giving our vocal chords yet another rest, this week we leave the talking up to our special guest; Just Add Water's Stewart Gilray. Having worked on countless titles from the Commodore Amiga all the way up to the more recent modern Oddworld titles, Stewart gets nostalgic about his past and present with RetroCollect FM's hosts, Chris and Adam.

Join the RetroCollect Squad as they talk their way through the wonderful world of retro gaming. Talking points span the golden age of classic gaming to today's neo-retro modern releases - and whatever deviant paths our hosts travel down. One thing is clear in our discussions though and that is our passion for pixels from every era!.

In the world of cinema, the term ‘development hell’ is regularly bandied about when describing a production that has been passed from director, to studio, to producer - often with the cast being changed drastically. Very often, these movies never see the light of day and remain the fodder of forum chatter. Games are no different, and over the years many a game has been teased through blurry screenshots in magazines of yesteryear, only for the trail to suddenly go cold. Months pass with no news of that particular title you were looking forward too…and then you find out it has been quietly cancelled. Sound familiar? Some of these cancelled games end up on other platforms in vastly altered states, but many of them never see the light of day. In this latest issue of RetroCollect FM, your hosts Chris, Katsu and Tom discuss the games they were looking forward to, but simply vanished from release schedules. In some cases they did appear in different forms, but in others they disappeared without a trace.

Later it ported to our home systems, then spawned many sequels turning it into one of Irem's most popular series. Join our hosts Katsu, Chris, and Adam on a journey through time, talking about everything that is R-Type! アール・タイプ

RetroCollect FM - Re-Quest II

Released in Japan in 1985 as the Sega Mark III, The Master System eventually made it's way to US and UK shores in 1986 and 1987 respectively. While Nintendo's Entertainment System enjoyed unparalleled success on the other side of the Atlantic, in the UK it was the Master System that arguably won the battle for gamers' cash.

In this latest episode of RetroCollect FM, join Adam, Chris and Katsu as they discuss the rise of the Master System, the variants of the hardware, the lesser-known titles available and also some of the hidden features of Sega's precursor to the Mega Drive.
