Retro Rehab

IT'S HAPPENING. We're combining SuperPod Saga and Retro Rehab using the power of FUSION. The best parts of each show will be combined into SuperPod Saga to form the next evolution, the final form, of the show. We'll even be re-releasing each Retro Rehab episode into the SuperPod Saga feed.

Give it a listen and find out what's happening, then check out superpodsaga.com for more!

This weeks episode will be a little different than normal, as the duo get their footing again after a short summer break. We decided one night to rank the NINETEEN (Yes, 19 - insane right?) Dreamcast launch titles. However, there will be a twist on how this tier list ends...

How many can you get right? Enough to win a used Cyber Truck? We will see!
