About Retro Recall: The Video Game Nostalgia Podcast
Veteran podcasters with MILLIONS of plays try retro games 30 YEARS LATER to see if they still hold up, and dig into the nostalgia of gaming and living through the 1980s and 90s.
Join John (40k Lorecast, History of 40k) and Tom (Fallout Lorecast, Elder Scrolls Lorecast, Lord of the Rings Lorecast) to relive the nostalgia of retro games from the 1980s to mid 2000s.
They'll drop some fun facts about each game, refresh your memory about the way the world was, discuss the hilarious, good, and bad moments, and ultimately decide if the games still hold up to what they remember.

Sanitarium is the psychological horror adventure game most of us never even knew existed. Well, except for John, somehow. It may not have defined the horror genre, but it's a very accurate window back into late 90s horror themes in the waning years of adventure games.

Silent Hill Turned the PS1's Limitations Into Strengths

Resident Evil's Controls Are Scarier Than Zombies
Resident Evil feels really different 30 years later. It did a lot of things right, but it's not a perfect game.
