Retro Game Squad Podcast

Get your quarters ready as we bask in the amazing 2D goodness of one of the most amazing pieces of arcade and home gaming hardware to ever be produced, the Neo-Geo! Join us as we explore some of its rich library, talk about the system's various incarnations, interview Quan Nguyen, designer of the Omega Entertainment Machine, and Jeff & Jon explain that it's possible to set chicken bones ablaze at Medieval Times.

It's cyborg versus cyborg as we tackle the two greatest cybernetic icons to emerge out of the 80's & 90's and endure all the horrid games they've come to punish us with, Amanda joins the crew to talk up some Zombies ate my Neighbors and to play a little video game trivia while Jeff talks his way into sleeping in the doghouse.

It is time to drive the final nail in the coffin! In our return to the world of Castlevania we fight off Dracula's minions in the 16-bit, 32-bit, and 64-bit entries in the iconic franchise, look back at last year's topics & vote on our favourite retro game of 2013, and continue to gorge ourselves on delicious wall chicken.

In this chilling episode, we brave the elements and venture out into the frigid world of games featuring ice, cold, & snow, squad members Greg and Amanda join us in a gut-busting conversation about our exploits in gaming retail, and Jon's depravity reaches new depths as he tells us that he sincerely enjoys the crap-fest that is Cliffhanger.

Embrace the dark side as we explore the universe of Star Wars gaming, Jeff begins his descent into 32X madness, we talk about some of our favourite hidden content in games, and reveal the sinister origins of ass-fighting.

In the mood to cause destruction on a massive scale, we climb into the cockpit and take on the world of Mech games, conduct our first-ever interview with Craig Bumbaugh of Wheeling & Dealing Industries to find out what it's like to be in the business of retro game sales, and Jeff hypes the Atari Jaguar at every opportunity.

In our mega-sized anniversary special, Alex exacts his revenge upon Jeff and Jon by making them play some of his favourite games that are tough-as-nails (while throwing some challenges into the mix), Jeff comes to the realization that he's never played many of the classics, and we discuss the importance of boss battles.

Big money and big prizes await as we play video games based on some of the most popular game shows of all time, come clean about our gaming habits and rituals, picture how a Predator might host a game show, and Alex starts planning his revenge.

In this pun-filled episode we batter-up and try our hand at the world of alternative sports, go over the history of console online gaming, and get the weed-whacker out to take care of Jeff's creepy moustache once and for all.

It's time for some serious action as we take a look at the early days of first person shooters on consoles, discuss our opinions on the next generation of consoles and emerging trends in modern gaming, and shove as many Flintstones chewables vitamins into our mouths as possible.
