How do retro videogames from bygone times endure in our today’s world of VR, AAA game studios, and microtransactions?

Meet Stephen Krecklo (ScubaSaul) and Jon Kerby (TheKirblet), two retro gamers attempting to answer that question with each episode.

Today Scuba and Kirb talk about their lifelong connection to retro games, the genesis of this podcast, and also explore Kirb’s love of ALTTPR – A randomizer for the SNES classic Zelda game A Link to The Past, and Scuba’s obsession with Contra for the NES.
