Four us make the show to talk all about our retro gaming room setups

378 - When Bugs Attack!!24 Jul 202601:13:53

Hosts: Paul Driscoll (The Drisk) & Garron Tungate (The G Man)

The bugs are back… and this time they're taking over the show!

In this swarm-tastic episode, The Drisk and The G Man dive headfirst into the sticky, six-legged world of classic bug-themed games. From arcade flyers to cartridge classics, we're covering a buzzing lineup of insect invaders, mechanical creepy-crawlies, and absolute chaos on screen.

Games featured:

  • Black Widow (Arcade Flyer)
  • Buck Bumble (N64)
  • Insector X (NES)
  • Lady Bug (Arcade & ColecoVision)
  • N2O: Nitrous Oxide (PS1)
  • Yars' Revenge (Atari 2600)
  • Mushihimesama (Arcade Flyer)
  • Mr. Mosquito (PS2)

Expect plenty of nostalgia, questionable game design choices, hilarious stories, and way too much talk about pixelated blood-sucking and robotic bees with jetpacks.

Grab your virtual fly swatter and join us as we ask the important question: Can anything stop the bug invasion?

Don't get squashed! 🐛🕷️🐝

375 - Love At First Byte01 May 202601:40:43

🎙️ Love at First Byte
Spectrum crushes, Amiga affairs, and the awkward romance of growing up digital

What do you remember falling in love with first: your gaming system… or your teenage sweetheart?

In Love at First Byte, Drisky and Kingy dust off the cassette tapes, fire up the disk drives, and confess their first proper loves – the ZX Spectrum and the Commodore Amiga. Along the way, things get uncomfortably honest as they compare late‑night loading screens to teenage dating, joystick fumbling to first kisses, and the emotional trauma of both game crashes and heartbreak.

It's a funny, warm, and gloriously nostalgic chat about:

  • The moment a computer stopped being a thing and became "the one"
  • Why waiting 5 minutes for a game to load felt exactly like waiting for a crush to call
  • Spectrum squeaks, Amiga swagger, and fierce playground loyalty
  • How our early tech obsessions shaped who we became (and possibly ruined our dating skills)

Whether you were a proud Speccy owner, an Amiga devotee, or just someone who remembers being young, awkward, and hopelessly devoted to both silicon and someone who sat two desks away in Maths, this episode is for you.

Boot up. Tune in. Fall in love all over again. 💾❤️

335 - Your Sinclair Top 100 part 126 Jan 202405:10:55

Your Sinclair was one of the "Big 3" Spectrum magazines, alongside CRASH and Sinclair User.  It was considered to be more humourous and zany than its contemporaries.  Its final issue was in September 1993, which was an incredible run, considering the 16-bit computers had taken foothold years prior.  In 1991, they published their top 100 games list, which was compiled by staff writer Stuart Campbell.  It was a comprehensive list of games featuring many classics (and some curveballs).  Join Drisky and Kingy as they go through the games on this list.  With thanks to Gary Arnott for recreating that final cover for our own poster for this episode. 

Here are the first 50 games in the first part:

100    Zzoom
99    Maziacs
