Button Buddies
Welcome to Button Buddies, the podcast where two pals, Tommy and Daniel, dive into the pixelated past to play and chat about retro video games! Each week, we fire up a classic or hidden gem, sharing our thoughts on how these nostalgic treasures hold up in today’s world. Think of us as your friendly, laid-back gaming book club. We’re not here to deliver serious critiques or deep dives into game history—just to have a blast reliving the games we love (or love to laugh at). With silly banter, fond memories, and a sprinkle of retro trivia, we invite you to play along with us!
