The Retro League Podcast

I would like to say thank you to The Retro League Podcast for mentioning my blog on the show this week, episode 138. I enjoy doing this blog and it makes it even cooler to know that someone is actually checking it out.

Each week Rob and Hugues come together to discuss the world of retro video games. From the early days of Atari to the Sega Dreamcast, The Retro League takes a look at what makes the games from yesteryear still relevant in today's modern video gaming world. The hosts are able to describe, what is most definitely a visual median, in a clear and concise way that makes you feel like you have the game right in front of you.

I came across The Retro League Podcast about two years ago when I started to get back into retro video games. I at the time I had just discovered the world of emulation and was looking for ideals of what games to play. I had been playing all the classics that I used to when I was a kid, but I was looking for the things that I had missed out on. I was already listening to podcasts about other things that I liked, so I thought to myself that there has to be others interested in retro gaming out there. A quick search on the Itunes stores and I found the The Retro League Podcast. I would eventually go trough all their available episodes and would look forward to new releases every week.

My favorite part of the podcast has to be when they talk about systems and games I have little to no knowledge of. For instance the TurboGrafx, I had never even heard of this console or seen one before listen to The Retro League. So when I came across one in my In-Laws basement I knew not to leave it behind and to get it to a good home, at my house of course. Also, they have a very active forum community that is an excellent source of information and cool place to chat with others that share similar interests. The forum is  actually where I got my alias of Bad Username from.

The Retro League Podcast is one of my favorite podcasts, and is a must listen for anyone interesting in not just retro video games but modern ones too. So check out The Retro League Podcast, I promise you won't regret it.
