RetroBytes: Summer Games, Licensed Music, and Our Origin Stories

RetroBytes is the show where the three of us sit down, crack open some random video game topics, and let the conversation run wild. Every episode is part nostalgia trip, part heated debate, and part comedy show we never rehearsed. This week, we’re diving into the games of our Summer break, Licensed Music in Games, Our Origin Stories, and Getting Over that Gaming Slump. We're unpacking the stories, quirks, and memories that make them worth talking about. And of course, no RetroBytes episode would be complete without our signature segment, Choose 1, Lose 1—the game where we go head-to-head, forcing each other into impossible choices, questionable logic, and plenty of laughs along the way.
