    If we could come up with some sort of plan for a series like this documentary(an episode around a game, a developer, a console etc etc) and try and keep the production values around the same level (which is very well done indeed). We would have the making of a very nice show that would appeal to quite a few people online(and elsewhere, who knows :))

    I'd love to push something like this, get some momentum behind it, but I think to do it right we would need quite a few people to get involved and support it.

    We have the people already on this very forum who are knowledgeable in so many areas of the retro scene. Content and knowledge wouldn't be a problem.

    Anyhooo, I'm hungry and lunch calls :)

    Seems like a team is assembling :0)
    I do think its something we could do if enough of us got involved. I know we have a good mix of "non retro" skills on the forum which could be put to good use.

    I think everyone would be able to contribute something Keith. I mean I've no interest in being in front of the camera but will do whatever I can from a technical point of view or whatever else I can.

    Plus, you have a load of cabs, I'm sure that could be useful ;)

    The most depressing of all GameChasers like shows :(
    Imagine, you'd walk to The Rage, a couple of places and finish off the show with a review of what you found(probably FIFA on megadrive).

    If we were to make an Irish version of Game Chasers, it would be one person sitting in front of their computer, browsing ebay for bargains. Wouldn't exactly make for interesting viewing :(

    Although the drama of Adverts might...

    I'd like to contribute but it wouldn't be for anything technical, only my vast nerdy knowledge and hypocritical opinions.

    Not all is lost. I wandered into Super Hoshi (in the Twisted Pepper on Abbey Street) he other day and picked up a Japanese Mega Drive game (Crying) for €15. Didn't think there'd be that kind of thing available offline in Ireland. Cheaper than buying stuff off Ebay anyway.

    Shouts to Dr. Bob (should he not have the PHD instead of Retrogamer?) for his excellent taste in hoodies and space exploration games.
