RetroBlast: A 90's gaming RetroSpective

[galam]

I fly a lot, so i am always looking for new podcasts to listen to. Not enough touch upon the turbo. I will certainly give them a try.

I just posted episode 5, and it actually has quite a bit of Turbo coverage.

For some reason, I was thinking that after I got a Genesis, my TG-16 usage dropped dramatically and it does, but not quite yet. Episode 5 includes talk about the TG-16 cd player, Splatterhouse and TV Sports Football.

I also talk a bit about Revenge of Shinobi on the Sega Genesis.

I think episode 5 is the last episode that is going to be heavy on the TurboGrafx, and the episodes coming up are more Genesis heavy. I will still cover a few TG-16 things here and there, but for the most part, I started making a transition away from the Turbo and became more of a Genesis gamer towards late 1990 and into early 1991.

Ok, I have bookmarked this thread because I have to check out these podcasts...

To be continued.

Episode 9 is up now....

It actually has some minor TG-16 coverage. In this episode I talk about Aeroblasters for a little while. This isn't a super deep dive into the game, because I either rented the game back in February 1991, or I bought it, but ended up taking it back to Electronics Boutique and exchanging it.

So, I didn't get super far into Aeroblastes, but at least it's some more TG-16 coverage... right ?

Episode 9 starts off with a lengthy personal tale about my journey from a filthy casual gamer into a full blown video game addict, but I have to say that it's highly recommended that you either skip this story entirely ( skip to the 1 hour and 26 minute mark to hear the Aeroblasters section), or go back to episode 7 and 8, and hear those episodes before listening to the lengthy story in Episode 9.

It's kinda like a trilogy of stories, and if you just hear episode 9 without hearing 7 and 8, it's not going to make a ton of sense.

I also cover the Genesis game Dick Tracy, which I also acquired in February 1991. Again, not sure if it was a rental or purchase, just know that I played it right away...

I have only listened through the story portion so far, but I really enjoyed it.  I can very much relate to what you're talking about.  Even though the epic story is now over, I hope I can look forward to other personal stories like this in future episodes.  I think it's part of what sets your show apart from a lot of other retrogaming podcasts.

Episode 10 is now up...

I talk about Power League 3 for the PC Engine for a little bit. This episode covers mid March of 1991 into mid April of 1991. During this period of time I was living in L.A. and I accidentally stumbled upon this import store on Ventura Blvd. in North Hollywood. Games Express...

Man, the first day I walked into that place it was like stepping into a whole new world of gaming...

Anyways... I talk about this (and other things...) on the most recent episode of RetroBlast. Check it out...

Only reason I wanted to mention this episode is because towards the end of the episode, Chris Alaimo and I discuss my decision to part ways with the TurboGrafx. If you just want to jump to that specific section of the podcast, jump forward to 2 hour 19 minute mark or so. (yeah, super long show this week).

The TG-16 was the first gaming system I purchased for myself, in December 1989, and I decided to part ways with it in the middle of August in 1991.  It's weird to think that I only owned a TG-16 for 20 to 21 months, but I still have a ton of great memories about that console..

The TG-16 segment in this episode was definitely interesting to do.  Hopefully I asked all the right questions.  You guys should definitely check it out.
