Episode 115: Mailbag 5

It's that time of year again! For most of our episodes, our format is identical - we play a game, then discuss and review it. Once a year, however, we take a break from the format at christmas time for our Mailbag episodes. These are some of our favourite episodes to do - we take a break from the norm for some offbeat discussion about games both old and new.

Thank you to everyone who submitted questions on our discord server. As always, having you all to listen is exactly what makes the show worthwhile and we’re very grateful for your support.

So please, grab a cup of cocoa and relax as we answer those burning questions that are on everyone’s minds!

On this episode, we discuss:

  • What are Pat and James’ top 5 favourite games of all time?
  • What is an opinion on video games that you have always wanted to defend but that nobody has ever asked about?
  • Has doing the podcast changed your opinions in any significant way?

We answer these questions and many more on the 115th episode of the Retro Spectives Podcast!

Intro Music: KieLoBot - Tanzen K

Outro Music: Rockit Maxx - One point to another

If you have any more questions or have suggestions for games for us to play, please swing by our community discord server!

If you would like to support the show monetarily, we have a Buy Me a Coffee page!
