  • Games That Made Us RAGE As Kids | Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Super Mario Bros. 3, Battletoads and More (ft. Matt Storm)

    [Original air date: 05/31/2024] This week we are joined by Matt Storm of Fun and Games Podcast (and many many other things!) to try and work out some childhood trauma and talk about games that made our little kid brains have meltdowns. From fear of drowning in underwater levels, to controller biting difficult bosses - this is Retro Rehab.

      • The Nintendo Entertainment System (NES) | Retrospected & Rehabbed

        [Original air date: 05/17/2024] This week we kick off the first in our series of Retrospected & Rehabbed - where we talk about a console, best ways to play today, some fun facts, and our memories with the games and hardware. The console for our first edition is none other than The Nintendo Entertainment System - or Regular-Ass Nintendo if you will.

          • Slaying ROMs In Vimm's Lair (Feat. Vimm)

            [Original air date: 05/04/2024] 

            We are very excited to have our first guest this week, as we welcome the legendary Vimm of Vimm's Lair! We talk shop about the impact that the Delta Emulator on the App Store has made on the site, as well as go over the history of the timeless website many of us have come to know as THE rom site. We also dive into Vimm's favorite game console and reminisce on his most cherished video game memory. Come for the SNES RPG nostalgia, and stay for the intriguing history of one of the oldest rom sites on the planet!

If that hasn't sold you yet, we also have a riveting discussion about rocks, make some deals with the Retro Reaper, and we eat our body weights in cardboard boxes.
