E137: Mailbag 7

WIth the seventh year of the Retro Spectives Podcast officially done and dusted, it is once again time for our Mailbag Episode! Every year we take the time to answer questions from our listeners about old games and new, our favourite beverages and the nature of the podcast itself. Thank you so much to everyone who listens - you’re the reason we keep doing this all these years later.

So, as is tradition, grab yourself a mug of hot cocoa and snuggle in to listen to us gasbagging about all kinds of gaming.

We answer and discuss questions like:

What gaming discussion/analysis content titillated you this year?

If you had to execute one video game or fictional character on live tv/stream, who would it be?

If you were suddenly made supreme emperor of Earth and could demand any game either be remade or get a sequel, and it would be made to your exact specifications, what game would that be and what would you change in the sequel/remake?

We answer these questions and many more on the 137th episode of the Retro Spectives Podcast!
