I was 12 when I started playing Pokemon Blue, and while I've been in and out of the series since, Gen I has long been a favourite of mine. So when Nintendo dropped the remakes of those games on the Switch, I knew it was time to show them a little RTG love. FireRed and LeafGreen are absolutely the definitive way to play Pokemon Gen I. Better graphics, more Pokemon, quality of life improvements, deeper mechanics, they're phenomenal games. Are they good enough to break my nostalgic ties to the OGs? Have a listen and find out.

Comedian Adam Blank invites you to pull up a chair for Remember The Game? Retro Gaming Podcast. This isn't a dry recap of release dates or technical specs. Instead, each episode feels like cracking open a time capsule with a friend. Adam and a guest choose one title from their past-a cartridge they rented a dozen times or a disc that defined a summer-and just talk about it. The conversation meanders through personal memories, the sheer joy of discovering a hidden level, the frustration of a cheap boss fight, and the unmistakable music that’s still stuck in their heads decades later. You’ll hear the laughter and camaraderie that comes from shared, albeit sometimes very specific, experiences. The goal of this podcast is to capture that specific feeling of being a kid again, trading secrets by the lockers or arguing about which game was truly the best. It’s less about critique and more about connection, built on a foundation of pixels and nostalgia. Tune in for a warmly familiar, often hilarious chat that celebrates the games that shaped us, one deeply personal and wonderfully digressive story at a time.

Anyone that grew up in the "video game rental" era (that some of you didn't makes me feel old as fuck) remembers renting some mediocre game again and again. And for me and my bro, one of those games was Jaws for the NES.
