    Thanks Sera, however I wouldn't think I am qualified enough to ramble on about the Mother games, as much as I like them. :o

    Definitely up for specials though. Shooting games, Star Soldier, Cave, Raizing, Toaplan, Psykio, PC Engine, Puyo Puyo etc. I could (and probably do on this forum anyway) bore you all to death for hours with that material.

    Looks like Eurogamer stole our idea and have an article on sex in videogames. Who needs eurogamer when you have arcade and retro, eh?

    So any other takers for an 8-bit micro podcast? It's your only chance to defend your precious Amstrad CPC from my vitriol.

    Yeah bring some music, it will save me having to do so. Hope there's plenty of SID tunes.

    Have the studio for 2 hours so we can do a 2-parter if necessary.

    Also I have a drop box folder you can drop any audio files into if you need to.

    Get a sid player plugin for winamp and play them that way or use winamp to export them as wavs or mp3's.

    I had a listen to some of your podcasts this past week. I particularly liked the Horror episode, the opening music was great, even though it came on as I was alone in the office locking up the building :) It's good to hear about games I had previously overlooked and I'll be keeping an eye out for obscure now. Good job.

    Dinorex tells me the studio is free from 3pm on Saturday if people want to be part of the next podcast. We'll decide the topic when we see how can make it so we can pick something everyone is interested in.

    Why the hell did we pick zelda, been doing notes since I got home from work :(

    Only took a break to play an hour of Zelda's Adventure just to confirm that it is indeed worse than cancer :(

    Still got skyward sword and the CDI games to swat up on.

    Just listening to the 8bit episode now. Interesting stuff as always! I'd have loved to have heard about some of the famous C64 stories though, like the famous Parasol Stars, Putty and Escape From Colditz ones. Maybe a future episode idea? 'The games that weren't'?

    Nice to hear System 3 mentioned. Hearing that amazing Last Ninja 2 soundtrack was great. One of my favourites of all time, love the Maniacs!

    Surprised you didn't bring up First Samurai or Turbocharge though. They were (for me anyway) System 3's incredible achievements.

    Top notch stuff though, really enjoying these and dying to get involved!

    I thought I mentioned turbocharge? We were trying to figure it out whether it was system 3 or not iirc. Maybe Dinorex cut it out, I haven't gotten to it yet since I'm still in the middle of the last retronauts episode.

    In fairness I'm still listening to it, though it was more about The Last Ninja series. Which was awesome anyway.

    Is Lords Of Midnight or Jeroen Tel mentioned in this episode?

    edit: Yep you mention Turbocharge at 31mins. :)

    edit 2: The Mayhem In Monsterland levels were all set as 'Sad'. When you cleared the level, the next would be in colour, or, 'Happy' mode. Not Night/Day. :)

    Zelda podcast completed, it was so long it has to be two 1 hour parts. I flew into rant mode on more than one occassion and there was a bit of CDi related tension between me and Sparks. This meant it was the most fun I've had doing one, just hope it turns out well.

    I think it should be a good one.

    I'd have talked more if I hadn't had such a horrible headache.

    At least I got to talk about how much Skyward Sword drives me nuts.
