A Video Game Collector's Diary: Part 2

With the recent news of Sony abandoning physical media by January 2028, I reflect on what physical games mean to me, and the broader scope of how this could potentially harm the video game industry, whether you buy all your games digitally or not. Video games are more than a product; they are so much more than that. Now part of the Hair of the Dogcast Network!

The Sega Master System History and Legacy

The short lived Sega Master system undeniably left its mark on the video game console market in the late 80s, albeit not a major one. Plagued with poor marketing and a small library of third party games, Sega nonetheless gave us one of the best places to play video games in the late 80s with arguably more powerful hardware compared to the NES, and a small library of great games with great graphics and color. I'll go through all of that in this episode! Now part of the Hair of the Dogcast Network!

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!
