Retro Gaming - Busted Buttons Ep. 38

Busted Buttons

We start off with New Super Lucky's Tale and a discussion around the retro levels you get to play after you beat the game.

That leads us into an episode focused entirely on retro gaming. We first address the music and sound of that time. What tunes still ring in our head? How creative were the developers with limited technology?

We then talk about our gaming experiences as kids. What was it like walking into a Toys-R-Us back in the day? Do we miss receiving physical games as birthday and Christmas presents? What were game stores like?

Afterwards, we dive into the simplicity of the games. Do we miss anything about having a limited number of buttons and controls? What was it like to pop in a game right away and play without having to run updates and patches?

Talking simplicity takes us to the originality of the games. How creative were games back then? What was it like when every franchise was pretty much new?

We end by discussing the nostalgia of these games and why we don't play as many retro games as we would like to.
