Welcome to the Pining For Pixels podcast! This is my video game variety show podcast, part of the Red Rooster's Gaming Coop network where I talk gaming and gaming culture every week. Each episode will feature a subject or theme that interests me, and I will speak about what is on my mind in the world of video games!

The name Tengo Project might not be familiar to you, but there is a chance one or more of their recent games are. This is the development team within Natsume that is behind some of the best re-visits to old SNES titles on modern hardware in recent years. I am not talking about emulating the classics or packaged collections, but instead, lovingly restored and re-worked classics that have been re-built from the ground up with a masterful touch in retaining the SNES 16-bit style aesthetic they are known for. These guys make games the way you lovingly remember playing and experiencing, but in reality, these reimagined games of yore are much more technically proficient than their predecessors. Tune in to hear what games this small trio of developers have worked miracles with, and if you haven't played any of their games yet, but are a fan of retro gaming - get ready to discover modern day masterpieces that will be right up your alley!
