Retro Dodo Podcast - Retro Gaming News, Interviews and Stories – Détails, épisodes et analyse

In this episode we are joined by Palmer Luckey, the Tony Stark of retro video games, the founder of OCULUS, the genius that sells drones to the military and by far his best invention yet, the ModRetro Chromatic, a upcoming handheld that plays Game Boy and Game Boy Color games as it should.

This is by far one of the best episodes yet, we chat with Palmer about his history in the tech industry, the founding of ModRetro as a forum back when he was just 15, how he wants to create the first virtual reality gaming museum and why the heck a literal billionaire would want to make a handheld that loses him money.

If you stay to the end we also have an exclusive announcement from Palmer regarding another handheld that he’s working on so stay tuned for that.

In this episode of the Retrospect Podcast we are joined by such a lovely guest today, Sean Fletcher is the talent behind the incredible Delta Emulator Skins that we have shouted about across our socials for some time.

He even re-designed Delta’s App icons when they were facing legal action from Adobe during the onslaught of emulators coming to iOS.

We talk with Sean about his history, how he got into emulation, how he creates such beautiful skins and what he’s working on next.

As we get older, the games that we play with will eventually be classified as retro, or that may already be the case if you’ve been on the earth for a while. So how should the next generation of youths be introduced to retro video games?
