STR 34: Horse It's What's For Dinner.

 STR 34: Horse It's What's For Dinner.
This episode is dedicated to the incredible yet underrated Sega Saturn. The Saturn can be a very expensive system to collect for but it is also a console with an extensive library of awesome games.  We discuss some hidden gems as well as some interesting and naughty imports.  Ian and I discuss our progress in System Shock 2 as well as our feelings about the upcoming PlayStation 4.

 Vipp joins us for a bit and for the very first time his wonderful fiance Kerry talks about some retro handhelds and games she has recently acquired.

 For those that listen to the whole episode there is a hilarious bonus clip where the great  FocusRS describes why food is less essential than a $999 Star Wars Webcam.

We discuss programming games on old school computers, retro games we are playing now, must buy GameCube games, Mike's latest arcade cab, the upcoming RGRU Atari game  and so much more. It's a long episode but make sure you listen to every minute.  Thanks again SoCal for joining us and being really cool!

Why not make a game out of this episode? Every time SoCal Mike says "really cool" take a long stiff drink.

STR 28: Star Control And The Nightmare Hole

STR 28: Star Control And The Nightmare Hole

Septic Lemon, Focursrs and I discuss the awesome game series Star Control. We talk about games for the C64 that Septic has been playing, the all new Canadian Wii Mini, progress on the Atari Pi project, Tempest controller mods, Tempest trivia and much much more in this action packed and hilarious episode of Stalking The Retro. Warning if you decide to drink at 9 in the morning you might find yourself falling down the Tempest hole like our dear friend Focusrs. The Tempest hole contains some very frightening monsters so make sure you bring your rotary controller and take plenty of lithium to calm yourself. 

Check out the Stalking The Retro thread on the Game Gavel Forums for some of the links we discussed in this episode.
