It's that time of the year again, so hang your stockings, haul home a coniferous tree, and pack the required survival gear for another harrowing trip to the Retronauts Holiday Cabin in Parts Unknown.

(Before being completely retooled into a game show the following year.) So listen in as Bob Mackey,

Retronauts ·

2025/11/17

Video games: can you dig it? Yes, and you can also dig IN them—which is the point of this week's podcast.

But how has this simple concept evolved over the years, allowing us to safely simulate tunneling underground without getting our fingernails dirty?

Greetings, you rancid retro revenants! We're knee-deep in the spookiest of seasons, which means it's time once again to crack open the crypt and gaze in fright at a selection of horror games that tried their best to scare our pants off oh so many decades ago. In the past few years, we've covered NES and 16-bit games, so now it's time to move onto the world of multimedia: where pre-rended ghouls and washed up actors alike did their best to make horror thrive in an era beyond floppies.
