In episode 35 of Backwards Compatible, Lou and I take a step back for a laid-back recap of our gaming highs and lows from 2024, covering both retro and modern titles. It’s a more relaxed conversation where we reflect on the year that was—everything from the thrill of discovering hidden gems to the heartbreak of major disappointments.
We dive into some of the retro purchases that made our collections shine brighter and a few that left us scratching our heads. On the modern side, we share our thoughts on games that exceeded expectations and others that fell flat. It’s a mix of nostalgia, candid reviews, and even a little buyer’s remorse.
Join us as we wrap up 2024 in style and look ahead to another year of gaming adventures. Whether you're here for the retro love, the modern hits, or just the banter, this episode has something for everyone!
We've got merch!
