New Game Old Flame - A modern and homebrew retro gaming podcast.

As we progress through the year and step out of our comfort zones, we take a closer look at very pixelated Atari 2600 titles like Fox Hunt Arena and Xanthiom 2600. Andy also gives the Gameboy a good go with Hunt the Gwumbus and Lee Caravallo’s Putting Challenge, which both prove to be more than meets the eye. We also touch on modern hits like Control, Domekeeper, and Psychonauts. But there's more to this episode than just games: cycling, dinosaur burgers, and talks about wealthy collectors also feature in the show!

The team comes back together and explores more games! Today we have Extreme Volleyball Infernal League (Sega Master System), Spediteur (Commodore 64) and Rocket Panda (Sega Megadrive). As we talk about their partnership with Alan-1 and the My Atari Arcade Game Station Pro, Atari's comeback nearly causes Wiedo to die laughing. Fortunately we save him by talking about streaming our games to our devices, Yuzu and Nintendo and more D&D! Our retro-chats don't stop here so tune in and have fun!

In this episode, Andy and Diego dive into more exciting new games, exploring Ringo on the ZX Spectrum and Metal Dragon on the Sega Megadrive. They also share their excitement about the innovative ways to enjoy modern tech, like playing Doom on a lawnmower and watching movies on an Atari 2600. Additionally, they discuss the intriguing fan-made Sega Neptune, bringing a new perspective to retro gaming enthusiasts.

In this two crewmen episode, Wiedo and Andy explore the digital depths of Inky and the Alien Aquarium (Gameboy Advance) and zip through the circuits of SlipSpeed (MS-DOS), with a small detour into the cheeky world of Mega Casanova 2 (Sega Megadrive). But there's more in our digital grab bag: we slide into snowboarding chat, delve into PSU repairs, unwrap the new RM800XL, peek into Mistercast, and hop into the Virtual Boy emulator. Strap in for a journey through gaming gems and tech treasures!

We're finally back after a long sickness period! Our post-afflicted selves this time look at Yeti Mountain (Commodore 64), Kudzu (Gameboy) and Dead Tomb (NES). Naturally there is plenty of other talk including Baldur's Gate 3, the recent endeavours of Wiedo and his Celeste map, and news with a brand new Genesis/Megadrive handheld, a new Atari 400 mini and much more!

In this focus episode Wiedo and Andy are joined by Youtuber St1ka to talk about a small gem for the Sega Megadrive: Astebros by Neofid Studios. We briefly touch on portugese shopping and snacks before committing to as many details as we possibly can about this incredibly crafted and creative platforming game, that is so much more than meets the eye!

We're back with a whopper! Today, we're diving into Shoot 'em Up territory with special guest Mark. Before we jump into our game picks – GG Aleste 3 (Game Gear), The Last Defender (Commodore 64), Inviyya (Amiga) and Satazius Next (Dreamcast) – we chat about game cosmetics and cool retro discoveries like the Nirvana engine, KeeperFX, and the Ayaneo Retro Mini.

In this frosty start of the year's first episode, Wiedo hosts us as we greet the new year with a small recap of our top 5 games of 2023. Bringing out the top guns is no easy choice as we are quite passionate about our titles! We also discuss game reviewing and the Gumpyfunction's letter directed to content creators as well as devs and publishers. It's been a good year, and we can't wait for what lies ahead! We also talk resolutions and frozen birds!

First, but not least we talk again about Canadian. snacks!

In this special episode, we talk about a unique genre of computer games that has a long history, and has evolved through time without ever going away completely: text adventures!

Wiedo, Diego and special guest Mads together with myself delve into the first game club episode where half of the participants have not even played the game! We point-and-click our way through potatous(?) adventures in Gobliiins 5 on PC from Pierre Gilhodes. Whilst not strictly retro, this game has a place in most of our hearts and was made nearly exclusively by the same author that did them in the 90s! Get on the snail-bus and tag along in a journey with lots of humor and dubious-looking frogs!

In this episode we take a break from the usual format and talk to Malte (aka Thunderblade) from publisher Protovision 64 to find out more of their world and endeavours. Diego, Wiedo and myself also talk about one of the publisher's game each: Sam's journey, Muddy racers and Cursed Tomb, all for the most popular microcomputer of the 80s, the Commodore 64!
