Retro style games have been around for a long time and 13AM games latched onto Pirate Pop Plus on the back of a game jam that was based in old Game Boy games. In this episode we discuss everything from how retro style games are nothing like the original games that appeared on those now very dead systems through to the difficulties of publishing games. http://media.blubrry.com/caneandrinse/caneandrinse.com/sausage/TSF_Episode121.mp3

Football (or soccer, for the Americans) has a very long history with video games and many attempts have been made to capture the sheer thrill of slamming a ball into the back of a very large net by simply kicking it very hard. So much so that the phrase, back of the net, has become synonymous with victory and or success. Outofthebit have developed Super Arcade Football on the basis that people just want to score goals within a very fluid and fast engine. Show host Chris ORegan chats to Simon Haines

As a European show host Chris ORegan has had a weird relationship with jet-ski racing games ever since Wave Race 64 on the N64 was hands down one of the slowest PAL ports ever made.

Thankfully the days of slow PAL ports are a part of videogame history as Riptide GP Renegade runs just fine where ever you are.
