There's a lot of content on how to retrogame and what to retrogame with....but I often wonder why we retrogame?
Playing, buying, collecting, modding....all the crazy retro gaming aspects....usually to make us happy....and always make us broke.
So join me as I seek out like minded retro gamers and find out if they tick like the rest of us.
This episode I meet and chat with Glenn from Pixel Crib, and Australian based globally shipping online store that focus's primarily on gaming soundtracks with the emphasis being on Vinyl LP and Compact Disc (CD).
Glenn tells how he went from collector to online vendor just wanting to share his fascination and love for gaming soundtracks with the wider public. From packaging on his kitchen table back in 2016 to now having a contractor collect his daily shipments from his business specific warehouse premises shipping all sorts of amazing and often rare and unique soundtrack merchandise both domestically and across the globe. We discuss the music the art and the just 'having' of this amazing media.

Ep 049 - Tokyo Life with Scruffy Lookin RGB
This episode I am super stoked to
meet and chat with ‘Scruffy Lookin RGB’ of the same Youtube channel and
Instagram. Scruffy has been living in Japan for most of his adult life. After a
family visit at age 21 he realized that was where he wanted to be in the world
and made it his goal to make residence in Japan and not long after discovered
he has a liking for all things retro gaming. And being situated in a place some
would call the motherland of retro gaming, Scruffy is on a constant hunt for
games, consoles and overall retro junk to repair, restore and collect whilst
sharing his hunts and finds via Youtube and Instagram.
Living the dream in the land of the rising
sun.

Ep 048 - The Love of Art with Bitmap Books
This episode we chat with Sam Dyer the founder, creator and visionary behind 'Bitmap Books' an absolutely outstanding must have library of quality books that highlight the art and history of retrogaming. Sam shares the origin story of the company and his personal experience on what it takes to get out of the everyday work/life rut and put your time and sacrifice in to something that means something to you.
Utlizing absolutley gorgeous art and graphic design the library spans from the Commodore 64 right through the ages profiling the library of most of the common retro consoles and branching out to cover some slightly obscure subjects purely to fullfill Sam's personal wishlist of books he would want to own and read.
