Welcome to the first episode of Retro World Order!
This is a joint endeavor featuring CapnMikeM from On Second Thought with Mike & Matt, and Los from The Talking Place! Their love for tinkering, shiny new handheld devices, and talking games brought them to this station, so we'll see how far the train goes!
This first episode has them introducing what the Retro World Order is.
Spoiler: it's something we all need. The gaming world today has become such a clouded and messy space with indie games releasing to more praise and adoration than most AAA titles. It's obvious a lot of us have lost our way, clinging to the hope that whatever the next big thing they're throwing at us doesn't flop into the mud, but it’s been happening more often than not. On top of that, this hobby of ours that we hold so near and dear is meant to be an escape. The world is a terrible, horrible place these days and sometimes the current gaming scape is not enough to keep our worried minds at bay. Hyper-realism, paywalled progression, more bugs than a swamp at sunset. Sometimes, we need the comfort and warmth that only a nice warm mug of nostalgia can provide to keep us happy and level headed. Or maybe it’s not even nostalgia, and you’re experiencing things for the first time. Either way, a simple, easy to pick up and play 30 year old game is enough to put a smile on your face.
Anyway, there will be plenty of rambling in the coming episodes! Many opportunities to explain and show why this is the way for times like this.
Until next time!
Links and Info Discussed
- Retro Game Corps YouTube Channel - Russ, the retro Jesus lol
- Techdweeb YouTube Channel
- Anbernic RG34XXSP - Mike's latest addition to his collection (a really awesome homage to the clamshell Game Boy Advance SP)
- Anbernic RG35XX+ - Los' only handheld currently. Made to feel like an original Game Boy. (This model is no longer being made, the current version of it is the New Anbernic RG35XX)
- AYN Thor - The handheld Mike has, and that Los has been waiting for since he ordered it a month ago. This is the current hotness that many are considering "the endgame handheld" because it's so loved and versatile.
