In this episode of Retrospect we talk with Brent Scotchmer, an avid collector, and illustrator for well known collectible brands such as POG, Topps & Garbage Pail Kids. We discuss what the future of collecting looks like, how to be the "go-to" collector in your town, and what Brent himself is collecting!

We have the honour to speak with Riley Testut, the founder of the Alt Store and the incredibly popular emulator known as Delta. We talk about his origin story, how he founded both businesses and what the implications were when Adobe came knocking.

In this episode of Retrospect we have the opportunity to talk with the team behind Pog and why they are bringing it back for players and collectors both physically and digitally.

We are joined by Hyperkin Chief Technology Officer, Slade Suzuki to talk about their past retro gaming focused products and what they could be working on in the future.

It’s a great discussion that dives deep into Slade’s inventions alongside our opinions on where the retro gaming industry is moving in terms of accessories products and market demand.

Today you are listening to episode 75 and I am joined by Jason Bradbury, a well known name in the tech and retro gaming space thanks to his years on The Gadget Show. Jason was also kind enough to write for our first book A Handheld History too and is now working on a crowdfunded movie about retro gaming called CTRL. AI. DELETE, which you can back on Kickstarter now: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/ctrlaidelete/ctrl-ai-delete

We talk about the movie, what it’s about, what consoles and accessories are featured alongside Jason’s history with retro games. What did he play on as a kid, what’s his favourite console and what is he is playing on today!

Jason has been kind to us for a good while now, and we’ve met face to face a few times when I visit Newquay so it’s my absolute pleasure to have him on for this episode.

Today we are joined by Remute, or also known as Dennis, a composer that exclusively makes music for retro consoles, he has albums out for the SEGA Dreamcast, music designed specifically for the Game Boy and even cartridges filled with music for the ATARI Jaguar.

Crazy I know, so let’s discuss how Dennis does it and what drove this crazy method of generating entertainment for classic consoles.

In this episode we are joined by Shaun from the popular Instagram account Did Some Body Say Retro? - We discuss how he began his career modding retro consoles, the invention of the wood boy and how we now builds weird and wonderful creations for NQ64,a  barcade chain here in the UK!

In this episode we are joined by Palmer Luckey, the Tony Stark of retro video games, the founder of OCULUS, the genius that sells drones to the military and by far his best invention yet, the ModRetro Chromatic, a upcoming handheld that plays Game Boy and Game Boy Color games as it should.

This is by far one of the best episodes yet, we chat with Palmer about his history in the tech industry, the founding of ModRetro as a forum back when he was just 15, how he wants to create the first virtual reality gaming museum and why the heck a literal billionaire would want to make a handheld that loses him money.

If you stay to the end we also have an exclusive announcement from Palmer regarding another handheld that he’s working on so stay tuned for that.

In this episode of the Retrospect Podcast we are joined by such a lovely guest today, Sean Fletcher is the talent behind the incredible Delta Emulator Skins that we have shouted about across our socials for some time.

He even re-designed Delta’s App icons when they were facing legal action from Adobe during the onslaught of emulators coming to iOS.

We talk with Sean about his history, how he got into emulation, how he creates such beautiful skins and what he’s working on next.
