Retro Wars

I was in love with the Power Rangers when I was growing up, I could not get enough of them. The games however, had a lot to be desired. I was asked my by guest, Lyndsey Norris, to play the game boy version which made up part of her childhood. Question is, is it any good?   You can follow me on the following socials: Twitter: @retrowarsuk Instagram: retro_wars_podcast Tiktok: @retrowarsuk   Please...

Combo Breaker!!!! Back to the fighting world we go with Killer Instinct. I am joined by my good friend, Raging Demon, from the Kommand List podcast.

Mario RPG - Legend of the Seven Stars, a hidden classic which a lot of the world never got to play including me.

It is back to the movies and with episode 100 coming up, I think it will be a good idea to bring Final Fantasy 7 Advent Children to the front of the que.

To help me go through this, I am joined by Chris from the Retro Hangover Podcast and newcomer, Sam, from the Retrotopia podcast. You can follow m...

I remember when I first saw this game, I instantly thought...GUNDAM....IT'S A GUNDAM. I have begged for Gundam games to be like this. But for now, let me just enjoy what we have here, Zone of the Enders. I have regularly been told, play the second, the second is better. This may be true but I want to make sure we cover the first before we dive into that one.  This week, I am joined by debutant, Bl...

After a week off due to illness, the show is back, and back with a banger in Castlevania - Aria of Sorrow. I got to play this whilst I was ill last year in hospital.

I had a ball playing this, and call me a...

A few weeks ago, I attended PAXAUS for the first time and had an amazing experience. It was unlike anything I had been to before. It was a gaming home if you will.

My guest this week is Aaron from Press play on the...

Remember a time when everyone was breaking their TVs playing Wii bowling, remember when we were all happy a new console had just come out, I do.

My guest this week is R9 Beats and you can fi...

There are always imitators, some are good, some are bad, but then there is Digimon. Digimon is always considered the biggest imitators, if not the biggest imitator of Pokemon. As well as an anime, they have cards and games. I wanted to look at their first game, Digimon World on the PlayStation One. Woah boy.....get ready for a rant.
