Episode 12-2 Retro Tributes

1 Comment

We are seeing so many great new games recently with a retro-aesthetic, and we love it! Whether it’s pixelized 16-bit style artwork, or classic gameplay mechanics, it’s something that we’re drawn to immediately. The music is no different, borrowing from the sounds of past hardware and putting an original spin on it. We talk about music that makes you anxious, human emotions as power-ups, and Pernell does a food dance. Enjoy!

  1. Final Boss (Omega Model) – 20XX – Steam – Brandon Ellis
  2. Fire – Fight’n Rage – Steam – Gonzalo Varela

We talk about what makes a great salad, the problems with 3D Sonic The Hedgehog games, and why there are so many chefs who become great martial artists.
