Retro Smashed Video Game Podcast

<p>Some friends hang out, drink a few beers, insult each other a little bit, and eventually talk about retro video games!  Play along with our game of the week where we test our knowledge of useless pop culture trivia.  We go over some background info about the video game of the week as well as some of our memories of it.  We then finish the show with some Happy Time shout-outs to anniversaries of video game releases and other historical pop culture landmarks.</p>

Episode 86 - The Ham Sandwiches of Video Games

What's the blandest of bland? Not quite immaculate, but also still easy to swallow? How about a mediocre game?

Ricky talks about a new game he's been playing, Luke retells some drinking stories, and Andy forgets how to use a doorknob. If you want the chance to win our signed bracket, send us an email, or sign up for our Patreon, and then we will get with the winner by 10/01...

Episode 79 - Streets of Rage

Weldy's mom joins us for a special "slightly off a week" Mother's Day episode. She always joins him to play Streets of Rage on his Mother's Day stream, so we figured we'd do a Streets of Rage episode with her!

Episode 77 - Donkey Kong

Cranky here. These podcasts are always a bunch of guys talking nonsense, thinking they're funny? They're no Skidda and Kaboing in the Mornings. Back in my day we didn't have fancy podcast descriptions. We had to hope the radio played our favorite song, and get the tape deck ready to record. We always missed the first few notes, then caught a bit of the announcer talking about the weather or traffic right after the song. What was I talking about? Oh yeah.&...
