Retrograde - A Retro Gaming Podcast

Christmas comes a little early as The Retrograde team are back for another Christmas romp. Host Jack Marshall is joined by his usual happy elves of Anthony Hobday, James Mcfadyen, and Lysanne Skinner aka Lysanne Fisher.

So sit back, grab some eggnog, a few mince pies, light the fire, and get ready for a bumper packed Christmas Retrograde Special!

Turn off the sad songs. Get the lights back on. And Sellotape back together those torn up Retrograde posters! The gang are back to deliver some festive cheer for a one-off special!

We’ll be looking back at the year that was 2015, debating all the ins and outs of the world (mostly video games, though, since that’s kind of the theme of the show).

We’ve made our lists. We’ve checked them twice. You’re going to find out what we think has been naughty or nice in 2015.

This is the end. The End is nigh. This is how the world ends, not with a bang, but with a whimper. The last episode of Retrograde. Lets do it again once more, with feeling.

Penultimate! Say it. It pours down your throat like honey. Penultimate. That’s where we are today folks. The penultimate episode of Retrograde. The final game we’re doing is Golden Axe. Axe! So; for one second-to-last time join Jack Marshall, Lysanne Fisher, Anthony Hobday, and James MacFadyen as we become the Retrograde team.

Hell hath no fury like the Retrograde team scorned. This week, Jack Marshall, Anthony Hobday, and James MacFadyen cast some fire over Diablo 2. We also open this show with some big news….

Welcome aboard this non-stop flight to the island of Pilotwings. We’re guaranteed to experience some turbulence, so have those sick bags at the ready.

Crash. Wallop. Bang. No, that’s not my pet names for my last three ex-wives. That’s the noise I make when driving around in Crash Team Racing. Vroom Vroom.

I like worms. You like worms. We all like worms. So who wouldn’t like a game about a worm called Jim? Join the Retrograde team where, this week, we play Earthworm Jim. Big thanks to Jedman for providing us with a VO this week.

Choo choo! All aboard the Retrograde train of awesomeness. This week it’s The Last Express running down the tracks at blistering speeds. Ever wanted to throw a dead body out the window of a moving train? Ever wanted to stare at a golden egg for far too long? Ever wanted to have multiple knife fights on a train journey? Then The Last Express is the game for you!
