In this episode hosts Diego and Andy, joined by Sean Robinson, wade through a soup of gaming chatter and more! They discuss Diego's Finnish Labour Day celebrations with homemade Sima and Munkki doughnuts, Sean's sketch comedy performances in DC, and his beta testing of the homebrew game Super Sunny World. Andy shares his excitement about the new Mister console.

The gaming highlights include Sam's Journey for the NES, Room 5 for the MSX, Fork Parker's Crunch Out for the SNES, and Little Medusa from Mega Cat Studios. The episode also touches on retro gaming projects and concludes with news on new Atari hardware and tributes to recently passed figures in gaming and anime.

Join the crew and an incredible lineup of guests, including Math (from the Game Gear motherboard reverse engineering), Roger (Super Tilt Bro), and Sean (VGS) for a speculative journey into where modern retro gaming is headed. Our guests share their personal stories and insights before we natter about hardware advancements, new software implementations, and new ways these two elements shake hands to enable the next generation of indie retro games for our beloved middle-aged consoles and microcomputers.

From the technical advancements that could revive classic consoles to innovative software that pushes the boundaries of old platforms, our discussion spans a broad spectrum to try and predict the next generation of hardware modifications and software that breaks traditional boundaries.

As we progress through the year and step out of our comfort zones, we take a closer look at very pixelated Atari 2600 titles like Fox Hunt Arena and Xanthiom 2600. Andy also gives the Gameboy a good go with Hunt the Gwumbus and Lee Caravallo’s Putting Challenge, which both prove to be more than meets the eye. We also touch on modern hits like Control, Domekeeper, and Psychonauts. But there's more to this episode than just games: cycling, dinosaur burgers, and talks about wealthy collectors also feature in the show!
