#18: What is Retro gaming?
Description
In this episode, we take a detour from our normal format and talk about our thoughts on Retro gaming - what does that term even really mean? What does it mean to us? Why are we talking about the ZX Spectrum, the NES, Master System, Megadrive and the Amiga all these years after they were released?
Why do we have such fond memories of these old games?
What is it about Nostalgia that has us scouring the eBay for original copies of Way of the Exploding Fist and JetPac?
What does Retro gaming mean to you? Let us know.
During the episode, we mention “Filling in the gaps: creative imagination and nostalgia in ZX Spectrum gaming” by Will Brooker. You can find a copy of the paper here.
