This weekend I was on another Podcast, this time I got interviewed by Fred over at Gaming History 101 :) Gaming History 101 runs both a blog, a podcast, a youtube channel and delivers lots of interesting retro gaming news and a lot of history ^_^
We had a lot of fun discussing views on collecting and various systems and platforms ^_^ we also talked about the differences in gaming versus collecting.
You can listen to the podcast right here >>
And here’s a direct link to the mp3 >>
Jon & Ted have an excellent gaming podcast, and they invited me to talk about retro game collecting, but we ended up talking about a bunch of other things as well XD Like beer, IKEA, prison and virtual reality ^_^
Jon & Ted’s Excellent Gamecast has an awesome Boss Battle in each episode, I got to fight Dr. Wily!! XD Make sure to listen to the podcast and see if I manage to beat him ;D
The podcast can be found here >>
Thanks for having me on guys! It was a lot of fun :D
A lot has been happening this year, both outside the game room and inside! I have gotten myself another arcade machine, a Blast City from Sega. It’s fitted with a 4-slot Neo Geo MVS board, so I have yet another way to play all the MVS games I’ve bought instead of using the converter in my AES. I made room for the candy cab in the game room, and this lead to a bit of re-arranging for it to fit. I’ve also increased the amount of gaming stations, with more TV’s! :D So many TV’s!! There’s a total of 20 in the room right now ^_^
I have updated my video game collection page on here, but here’s most of the new pictures as well! :) The collection keeps growing :D
I’ve been visiting a lot of gaming conventions this year, which also means acquiring a lot of new retro games ;D I will hopefully have some time this christmas to update the various libraries with scans on the site and perhaps add some new ones :) Meanwhile I am always on instagram posting retro game related stuff whenever I’m gaming or whatever ^_^ Feel free to follow me on there > @retro_gaming
Don’t forget to check out my other site www.geekygals.net where me and my gals post all types of nerdy things! The latest post was about a retro gaming competition I hosted for the first Geeky Gals Gathering which was very successful, we had a lot of fun! ^_^
I was invited to be on the Retro Asylum show, which is the UK’s biggest retro gaming podcast! :D They have a new series called Bytesize where they discuss various things with various people and I got to talk with Paul Davies from Retro Asylum for about an hour. It was a lot of fun and we talked about all kinds of retro game related subjects :) I got to explain a bit about the Nintendo culture in Sweden and talk about my collection ^_^ It was great fun! :D
You can listen to the episode here >>
It can also be found on iTunes if you search for Retro Asylum :)
This is the awesome poster they put together for this episode ^_^
The second video in our Neo Geo series is out! This time we’re playing some Garou Densetsu The Battle of Destiny (also known as Fatal Fury). Both Becki and myself are absolutely horrible at fighting games, and it’s definitely not really our cup of tea, but these types of games sure bring out the fighting spirit in you! Haha! We both tend to get extremely competitive….
Watch the video here:
I will get onto editing the final two games we played, Sengoku and Ghost Pilots soon :)
I’ve finally finished editing the first video of mine and Becki’s Neo Geo play session :) I really wanna make more videos like this, but it is very time consuming, but I’m trying my best to make videos whenever I have some spare time ^_^ Anyway, we had so much fun with the Neo Geo games! The first game we tried out was Cyber Lip! An action platform game that resembles Contra a lot. We love it when we find simultaneous co-op games, and the Neo Geo has loads of those! More videos will come soon with the rest of the games we played, like Garou Densetsu, Ghost Pilots and Sengoku :)
Check out the video and let me know what you think! ^__^
