Skill JimHOST
So again, all these kind of things that we're talking about, you'll be able to get the links in the show notes below if you're interested in reading some of these articles that mention Shenmue.
Skill JimHOST
Also appeared in Retro Gamer Magazine, Matt.
Matt OliverHOST
Yes.
Matt OliverHOST
Now, this might be, I guess, a bit of a reappearance because this list, I think, was done a couple of years ago and then they've republished it because I've got your copy of the magazine sat behind me, actually.
Lewis CoxGUEST
And then I think really after that, it was straight into all the retro gaming stuff.
Lewis CoxGUEST
I was reading Retro Gamer.
Lewis CoxGUEST
I loved that magazine.
Lewis CoxGUEST
Got so many issues of it.
Lewis CoxGUEST
In fact, I was looking at a big stack of them today and thinking, what on earth am I going to do with all these? Yeah.
Lewis CoxGUEST
Yeah.
Geoff OwenHOST
Yeah, I still read Retro Gamer magazine, but I'm ashamed to say I use Readly now to get my magazine fixes, because I just can't justify taking up physical space with magazines, saying that I did my Star Trek comics, so maybe I could get away with it.
Lewis CoxGUEST
Yeah, this is why Sony's coming after us and our physical games, because we don't commit enough.
OllieHOST
growing up even though it was hard and i think i bit my controller over it once because it was so frustrating um but i could be talked into a rare super pocket
AndyPANELIST
Anyone who's really into the Rare stuff should really have a look at the latest issue of Retro Gamer.
AndyPANELIST
And there's a special kind of feature on Ultimate Play the Game and Rare and their heritage, the games, where they came from, where they went to, and it's a really, really good read.
AndyPANELIST
And they actually mention the Rare Super Pocket in the article.
AndyPANELIST
So it's the cover star there on the latest issue, and I'd highly recommend.
AndyPANELIST
And a lot of libraries... have that magazine as part of their selection so if you have a membership with your public library you can even go online and read retro gamer there for nothing
OllieHOST
there we go who knew every day is a school day tell you all right so let's give matt a little bit of a shining moment here The quick update from Matt on the Nexus event.
OllieHOST
We all got to have our five pence and talk about it recently.
Mike ColettaHOST
But I wanted to just preface this by saying almost all of my references for this and research and facts are coming from a magazine.
Mike ColettaHOST
called retro gamer have you heard of this magazine oh
Tyler OsbyHOST
yeah i'm a big fan it is if you are subscribed to this is not an ad but could be uh if you're subscribed to apple news or like part of the like the big pack of all the apple services retro gamer is part of the magazine's app so i just get it and i read it all the time i haven't read it in a while
Mike ColettaHOST
This is issue 74 of Retro Gamer, and it's an amazing resource, and I could definitely see us using this magazine going forward, especially for old arcade games, because it seems like they cover classic arcade games in this
Tyler OsbyHOST
way,
Mike ColettaHOST
which is pretty intriguing.
12 MINS LATER
Mike ColettaHOST
They're going for like secret Easter eggs.
Mike ColettaHOST
But then to the surprise of people, it's like actually real.
Samuel SpencerHOST
This is the musical project of Sam Duckworth.
Samuel SpencerHOST
He says the name came from an article about superhero games from Retro Gamer magazine.
Samuel SpencerHOST
And he certainly does look like the kind of person who would read Retro Gamer magazine.
Samuel SpencerHOST
which is not a read.
Samuel SpencerHOST
We love a nerd here on the 2000s Chart Show.
Samuel SpencerHOST
And certainly I'd read Retro Gamer rather than going outside if I lived where Duckworth grew up in Southend-on-Sea.
Samuel SpencerHOST
Although, weirdly, there is something interesting musically going on in Southend.
Samuel SpencerHOST
It's also the place from where the horrors are going to emerge later in the year.
RobHOST
It's very IGN review there.
RobHOST
Retro Gamer described it as being one of the most unique arcade games ever created and more accessible compared to Namco and Sega's other offerings.
RobHOST
and staff enjoyed the game's simplicity and originality, writing that there is, quote, no question as to how it has stayed in so many locations after almost two decades.
RobHOST
Oh, there's a reason.
Maffew GreggHOST
Said James Caddick.
Maffew GreggHOST
[laughs] Uh, also it's funny that, that, that like, "Oh, we should port this to the Game Boy Advance" and be read- reading those lovely copies of Retro Gamer you dumped at my doorstep.
Maffew GreggHOST
I mean-
Tom CampbellHOST
[laughs] I did dump them at your-
Maffew GreggHOST
... knock, knocked on the door then ran away, and I'm like, "Oh, it's not another infant.
Maffew GreggHOST
Oh, Retro Gamer."
Tom CampbellHOST
[laughs]
Maffew GreggHOST
"Oh, I love this.
