Craig WK's Birthday Extravaganza continues in this week's Legend of Retro as he and Xander discuss Xenogears for the Playstation. What boxes does this game check off for Craig? Did Xander waste his time on YouTube? Why does Xander ask so many questions? Who the heck is Leonardo Leonardo? Retro Relapse might give you a headache and we have a real nail-biter in this week's match up in our Stage Theme Bracket.

It’s the return of the Legend of Retro. The boys are back. LPJ, Hovercraft Joe, and Jody get funky with the most unique game released in the 16 bit era.

LoR: Finale

On this week’s episode of The Legend of Retro, the sweet, family friendly IP takes a dark turn and gets violent and starts swearing.  And the game they cover does too! Be warned: there is an explicit tag on this episode as the guys let loose in the penultimate episode of the podcast. If you listen with kids, be sure to let them know how lucky they are to be listening to such mature content!

LoR: Conker's Bad Fur Day

Let’s take a trip to the past with some of your favorite retro game podcast hosts, as Chops and Craig_WK jump into the Epoch and take a trip to 1995! They look into the history of the game, the brilliant collaboration of the dream team of Japanese style role playing games, as well as the amazing music. That description might be bland, but we can always re-do it with a New Game Plus! To finish off the episode, the dynamic duo talk about a Retro Relapse that was too hot to handle in a previous episode. We hope you enjoy hearing about the greatest JRPG of all time!

LoR: Chrono Trigger

One day, quite by accident, a gate to The Legend of Retro was opened by a gang of podcasters skilled in the black arts. This land was like no other. In the gathering twilight, the episode shone from its resting place high above the world. In a long running battle, the leader of the podcasters fought his way past his followers Xander and The Glitch in lust for the episode on Link to the Past. After vanquishing his own followers, the leader stood triumphant over the episode and grasped it with his blood-stained hands. He heard a whispered voice: “If thou hast a strong desire or dream, wish for it…” And in reply, the roaring laughter of the host echoed across time and space and even reached the far-off listeners. The name of this king of podcasters is Craig_WK, but he is known by his alias Mandrag Craig, which means Craig of the Legend of Retro.
