And now we're back to do the exact same thing for a whole new generation of consoles! This week on Retronauts, join Bob Mackey, Kole Ross (of Duckfeed.tv), Diamond Feit, and Drew Mackie (of Gayest Episode Ever and Thrilling Tales of Old Video Games) as the crew unites to discuss a magical time when horror games could have evocative titles like "Decap Attack" and "Zombies Ate My Neighbors."

When an Australian emergency room doctor set out to make a humble little car chase movie in the late '70s, he had no idea it would turn into an incredibly long-lived franchise that would light our minds on fire and cause us all to drive just a little bit faster. And now that nearly 50 years have passed, the Mad Max franchise has remained incredibly pure, with only five movies and a whopping two video games to speak of. On this episode of Retronauts, join Bob Mackey, Diamond Feit, and Stuart Gipp as the crew enters a veritable Thunderdome of podcasting to chat about Mad Max. WITNESS US!

On the front lines in the march towards unbelievable idiocy in the name of inclusivity and representation. No meaningful conversation about video games. Unsubscribed.
Not even a Contra fan and I listened to the whole 3 hours 42 minutes! Great hosting from Stuart, and an excellent panel. I look forward to more with you all! Cheers.

Man, this show really fell off once they started changing the hosts. Imagine watching Seinfeld for nearly a decade and enjoying the characters and their interactions, then suddenly they decide to completely change the cast every few episodes. Tf? At least there's still the back catalog 🤷🏼
Jeremy almost sounded human in this one. Baby steps..
They totally gaslighted Stu about the Links in this one.
I love the episodes with Bob Mackey. He's so annoying.
Great hosting Stuart 👍
Really love how they made the first two Taito episodes exclusive to their Patreon, but this one isn't. If they're going to make Patreon-exclusive episodes, they could at least have some consistency.
Limited Run Games is trash. They recently fired one of their employees because of the accounts she follows on Twitter. Hopefully they never do another episode with these idiots again.
Excellent podcast! Stuart Gipp is my favourite presenter. Keep up the good work!
What a great episode. It's amazing how good this podcast can be when the presenters have a sense of humour.
whoa whoa no mention of Fable?? shame on you
Lorenzo was great, he should be a recurring character. Also Radiator Historia was the hardest I've laughed in a long time.
Really enjoyed you hosting Stuart. Thanks

Really not a fan of locking popular topics behind the Patreon paywall. Instead of making me want to support the show on Patreon, it makes me not want to.
why tf is bob saying sakimoto? I feel like I'm having a stroke. It's always been Sakamoto Jesus wtf.
Episode 69... Nice.
Wtf is wrong with Shawn's microphone?
Any criticism of wahmen is casual sexism
Oh no, not Tomahawk Man. Guess we better pull MM6 from sale to appease the white libs.
This paywall shit is lame..
You friggin' kidding me @gamespite ?! You think Van Halen's "5150" album came out in 1984?! Ever come across their album "1984"???
I thought this was Retronauta not anime discussion hour
It's pronounced Gif not Jif
The 2nd one is better?!!?! "It seems like it had a bigger budget"?? I'm only 20 minutes into this podcast and there's so many bad takes. My wife and I just rewatched the 2nd, and it was horrible. Felt like a direct to DVD movie.
While I realize the Retronauts gang can't possibly know everything about all videogames their collective gaps really show in this episode. Even with the preshow research done it's sorely lacking in facts and info related to the games they're covering.
I currently get both YouTube Premium and Google Music for $5 month. To think one podcast is the same value as both those services is ridiculous. I would happily pay $2, but $5 is too much.
Thanks for the free preview, so generous
loving the clearly unedited version of this episode that was uploaded lol
Hollow Knight is sooooo much harder than this game. I melted every boss all the way to the end. You are doing something wrong, because you can cheese through these bosses extremely easy compared to something like Hollow Knight which demands pure mechanical skill.

There are so many inaccuracies in this one that it is really hard to listen to.
Here is a link to that Marshlander intro Nathan mentioned: https://youtu.be/fY8VjqdBCH0
Must be Friday, Bob's shiting on Genesis again.
Ray Barnholt's schtick is essentially pretending to not give a shit about recording a podcast interlaced by being triggered when other people get information wrong that he himself could've just said right in the first place.
