Wine poured and snacks at the ready, Andy and Diego open by debating the merits of some gloriously odd Indian inspired snacks, with a quick mention to Andy's new Commodore 64 project, before turning to an 8bit MMO world that somehow links everything from a Commodore 64 to basically anything. They also raise an eyebrow at the revived Commodore brand's new privacy focused phone and gawp at a sealed Super Mario Bros for the NES selling for an incredible sum. On the games, Andy brings Luft Gears for the Game Boy, a moreish spaceship management sim from Game Brewery he proudly backed on Kickstarter. Diego fires back with two, the deceptively tricky block pusher Lock and Toad (Mega Drive) from Safety Stoat Studio, now open source, and Petal Panic (Commodore 64), a neat little demo by Piggy 18 with tunes from the Chiummo Brothers.

78. Sword of Soda
Andy is back after a long stretch away, settling into a new house and confessing he might be a hoarder of old consoles, while Wiedo sits this one out and Diego holds the fort. Between pigeon related window mishaps, the pair catch up on the revived Commodore brand, the Commodore 64 Ultimate going back on sale, a new Neo Geo, Lego versions of classic machines, and the close of the MSX Dev 2025 competition, won by the bike racer Neon Horizon. On the games, Andy brings Sherwood for the Commodore 64, a Robin Hood flip screen exploration romp from Griffinsoft. Diego answers with two MSX picks, the time travel platformer Chrono Runner (MSX) from the MSX Italia Association, and Shift (MSX) by Haplo, a tidy black and white puzzler spanning 44 rooms.

77. Throw my spaghetti
In this long-awaited reunion episode, Andy, Diego, and Wiedo catch up after months apart — swapping stories of Hollow Knight Silksong obsessions, an endless Baldur's Gate 3 co-op, tabletop D&D deep dives, and Wiedo's Guardian-featured Quake Brutalist Jam 3 maps. The trio then dives into the GB Compo 2025, each bringing two picks. For the Game Boy, Wiedo tackles climbing platformer Mount Crymore and champions the competition's deserving winner Orm Block, a fiendishly addictive Tetris-meets-Snake hybrid, while Diego recommends atmospheric noir mystery Abyss and Andy gets hooked on deck-building board game Ningami 2. For the Game Boy Color, Diego embraces the chaotic punishment of survival platformer Drop Blocks and Andy explores the eerie point-and-click world of Fun Video Store. The episode wraps with the crew debating their Game of the Year picks and crowning a surprise winner.
