Stuart: Wahey! No sooner have I put out one collection of dual interviews in Making of Karateka / Double Dragon Gaiden, I’m straight back in with another double feature, and this one’s a doozy. As well as chatting with the returning Tomm Hulett about his career and the upcoming Contra: Operation Galu...

The holidays are here once again, which means it's time for all you listeners to take your thirteenth trip to Parts Unknown for yet another exploration of a Yuletide-related video game creation. And this time around, we're examining the Pac-Man Christmas Album: a collection of holiday songs and sketches that very little to do...

So far, we've given many Mushroom Kingdom residents their own episodes. And while Luigi, Princess Peach, and Toad have all received Retronauts representation, we've somehow neglected the surly, shelled, series antagonist, Bowser. Since his inception nearly 40 years ago, he's gone through several forms, a name change, and has ...
