Will do , may get something up by the end of the week
I've been a bit delayed of late
Had laryngitis last week , the daughters birthday is this week so in the middle of organizing stuff for a big party.
Plus I managed to take a lump out of my index finger last night while cutting some stuff up so my gaming will need to be one handed for the next few days (Fnnar!)

I will be in town for the protest on saturday so afterwards i am ready to make my podcast debut

Up his stupid Langer jacksie

Sparks43

Also why not make the discussion about the old 8bit systems

So many classics and so many great loading tunes

Headaches and work have gotten in the way. Catching up on editing now so may have it done in a little bit.

Retr0gamer

Hope there's not too much editing, think I ralked for way too much of it

Doctor DooM

Just listened to the first one, good work lads.

I wouldn't mind doing either a Street Fighter, Fighting games in general or historical arcade scene of Dublin city one some time.

I'd rather get yoursefl and Luas Dublin in to talk about them, I've only a little experience with the C64.

Yeah betwixt the two of us I think we'd have the entire genre covered!

Retr0gamer

Well if you can get someone in that knows a lot more than me then I'll step out on this one. If he's up for it I'm sure KO Kiki would be great to have on it.

DinoRex

It's arrived!

Actually I used to do a radio show back in the 90s and as part of it I would go into the like of Barney's and the Hideout and interview people. Must see if I can find the old recordings.

Are you Marty Whelan?

Tell the truth now

.

DinoRex

I don't think Marty Whelan would have been threatened with the guards by dodgey looking arcade owners as much as I was...

Pyongyang

I'm on standby should you wish to talk SHMUPS! Can you host it in a Terry Wogan voice though?

DinoRex

I can promise to touch your knee!

Stuck Cone

Great stuff, havent listened to it yet (downloading for bedtime tonight!) but really looking forward to it, keep it up and look forward to hearing more!


On a side note, would it be possible to stick up the podcasts on itunes? Just for subscribing etc.

He is? I always thought he was from Tubbercurry. As the saying goes, if you have a Tubbercurry you'll get a Ringaskiddy.

Kind of like watching Wogan or Michael Barrymore's My Kind Of People back in the day...

As long as you don't fiddle with all those big knobs anywhere near me while it's recording you're grand. :pac:

On a related note I'll have to fish out the Alzadick soundtrack for the show. Oooh! and Goodbye My Earth!

Ooh and the Darius Force and Darius Twin themes! In fact, how about a Darius Special? Like the Hudson special!

Just an idea like. I'll bring a goldfish in a bag with me. Just to add a touch of 'breakfast show, the gang in the studio are having such a laugh you wish you were there' realism! :pac:

DinoRex

And we're now on iTunes:

The horror special is now ready to go. I'll stick it up in a bit.

Will be recording a Graphic Adventure / Lucas Arts episode on Saturday if anyone wants in.

I'll be in Limerick on Saturday but good luck with it. I wouldn't have been much help anyway. Just a few things to remember, the fact that you couldn't die in lucas games was a biggie in the later ones compared to Sierra ones and that Insult Sword fighting is the finest of the martial arts. You might want to stick to Lucas Arts if you want to fit it in under an hour, there's a lot there.

Also how about advertising it on the games board or do you want your secret identity to remain secret on boards.ie?

DinoRex

And here we go:

Feel free to give it a plug in the forums... just no huge need to mention me.

Could it be an idea to bring the old text adventures into the mix

Origin of the species and all that

Jack burton

having a listen now lads, must give Obscure a go, sounds interesting

Pyongyang

Didn't know there was a third episode! Excellent stuff, I'm subscribed now.

Keep me posted on shooting game, PC Engine, Darius or Puyo Puyo episodes should you ever decide to do them.

Pyongyang

I note how Sera is very enthusiastic about shotgun's in this episode.

You can take the girl outta Limerick... :pac:

Recording a valentines special this evening dealing with romance in classic video games.

And then tomorrow I'm recording the Lucas Arts special.

Anyone is welcome to contribute.

Romance like this

Ah the Lucas Arts special is on the way eh? Great stuff.

What about a modern comparison for the valentine episode? Only saying that as if you're recording tonight it conveniently coincides with the European launch of Catherine today. Side note, my Stray Sheep edition has been delayed. No idea why. Some say it's due end of Feb now?

Tifa/Aeris & Cloud would be an obvious romance choice. Although, if you reaaaaaaaally want to mix things up a bit, you can't really have a Valentine special without discussing some of the PC Engine dating sims.

Tokimeki Memorial and Roommate are two excellent candidates. If you want to be super pervy you could always chuck in a bit of Pia Carrot! on the PC-FX y'know, just to like, spice it up a bit.

DinoRex

Trying to keep it as Retro as possible... but that can be tricky as it's really only in the past 10 years that romance in games have moved beyond rescuing a princess from a castle... even now it's still rare to be more complicated than that.

I'll definitely be talking about the Prince and Farah from Prince of Persia though.

Sparks43

So are we including text based adventures tommorow?

Also dont forget the greatest video game love story........

Rockford and Crystal

Pyongyang

Prince of Persia is a fine choice!

You can even get a bit 'shmuppy' if you fancy it. You've a couple of prominent romantic-tinged shooting games to choose from including:

Super Dimension Fortress Macross: Do You Remember Love? (Saturn)
Sexy Parodius (Saturn)
Shooting Love Trizeal (just for the play on words!)
Cho Aniki

Sure there's a few more you could chuck in there..

Yeah I've noticed that while looking games up. It's all been very simple rescue the princess stuff until recently.

Will be mentioning a few text based adventures that did it well and dating sims.

Also Prince and Farah in Sands of Time which Uncharted has copied and no where near as well might I add.

I've ripped some Prince of Persia dialogue for inclusion.

Can get you in over the phone.

How about Custer's Revenge?

We all assume he's trying to do the nasty, but it's so pixelated that maybe they're just dancing?

That's pretty romantic stuff right there.

Retr0gamer

Well that's an example at how bad it can get
