A Video Game Collector's Diary: Part 1

Doom (1993) Retrospective

A retrospective on the original DOOM title from 1993 and how it revolutionized video games still to this day. From the original development of the title to where it went afterwards, it's all here. (Editor Note: The episode prematurely cuts at the end, for some reason it stopped recording, so much of the post DOOM history is left out, and much of my final thoughts on the game sadly...)

Star Fox Retrospective

With the upcoming release of StarFox for the Nintendo Switch 2, I thought it'd be great to revist all the past StarFox games, and some of the hits and misses in the sparce franchise. Despite that, we got some iconic games that still stand the test of time today!  Now part of the Hair of the Dogcast Network!

A Video Game Collector's Diary: Part 1

This style of episode's a little different; a diary entry of sorts. I've been collecting video games for well over 15 years and I've got  some thoughts and feelings on the topic, and some new ventures I want to take this expensive hobby into. I kinda bounce all over the place from market values, collecting to play versus collecting to resell, and of course what I'm going to be collecting for in the future. Let me know if you like this kind of episode, I'm considering doing more like this.    Now part of the Hair of the Dogcast Network!

The Polymega Console: Everything You Need To Know

Based on a listener request, a deep dive into the Polymega, a modern retro system that can play cartridge based games as well as CD based games, as well as discussion around the Playmaji company making the hardware, and the future plans of the system (with a bonus update at the end of the episode!). I talk about the company history, the Base Unit and all the Modules, the interface, the game collections, and personal experiences with the system (as an owner) and its peripherals and hardware. I also share some of the rhetoric around the controversy around the system, like prices, availability, and promises made.  Now part of the Hair of the Dogcast Network!

Time Breaker Light Gun, News, Old Man Gamer Gripes

I kick things off with a few pick ups and my immediate impressions of the Time Breaker Light Gun, a light gun you can use on your PS1 and PS2 connected to your 4K HDTV! Besdies that, we say farewell to the Gaming Historian as he embarks on new adventures, new tools to use to find fake games, and why the hell retro handhelds are getting to be expensive. Hey, remember memory cards, manual saves, game guides, Game Genies, writing down passwords, and couch co op games? I reminisce on how we made it through the early days of gaming.  Now part of the Hair of the Dogcast Network!
