The Retro Wildlands, a gaming podcast hosted by @Nomad_3033!
Using music and sound, I help you relive your favorite retro games or check a new one out! Join us!
I think this is where I take my leave from this platform. I largely ignore the political posts and the general toxicity around here, but when I'm labeled a "little bitch" for not spending money on a service I don't want by the person offering a free model, I clearly don't belong.
New #pickups! The time has come for me to start filling out my #NES collection and really chase those classics I used to have at Grandma's house! Mario/Duck Hunt and Ice Hockey were ones I played the crap out of and Jackal is one I've been itching to try for a while.
@pixelprojectpod is one of those #gamingpodcasts that always has me thinking about the games I hold dear in new and unique ways. Rick and Chris from the @RetroHangover podcast created one of the best discussions I've ever heard on Spec Ops: The Line.
Make time for this episode.
Want to interact with our next #podcast?! Our next episode currently in the works covers Contra III: The Alien Wars on the #SNES!
Share your thoughts and experiences with #Contra III here! I'll read and respond to them in the intro section of the podcast.π₯π
Ooo, another podcast episode from Tales From The Backlog! With guest @pixelprojectpod talking Night In The Woods? You'll want to add this one to your queue. @TFTBLpod
This Satin Silver PS2 Slim is my current favorite iteration of the system. I'm normally one who loves darker colors but this version is just so slick. π
Do you have a favorite #PS2 varient? Do you gravitate towards a certain color?
Remakes and remasters seem to be a dime a dozen lately. Some a great! Others... not so much. Check out the @RetroHangover#podcast as they tall about the ones that didn't quite measure up in an all new Flight!
NEW FLIGHT!
LEAST favorite remakes/remasters!
Nostalgia is a helluva drug. It can cause us to want that game we loved to be brought back to life with a new coat of paint. Or, maybe not. Here's our picks for our picks for worst attempts at resurrecting games of yore.

I'm just killing the backlog lately! I had such a fun time with #IronMeat, a modern #Contra style run and gun shooter. Great gameplay, amazing soundtrack, tough challenge! I highly recommend tracking this game down. Wonderful job @IvanMeat!
@cjediknight87 Nice! I'm somewhat the opposite. I think I was slightly better as a kid and I constantly finished the games I was playing. Nowadays, I'm lucky to completely finish maybe 15 a year? Though I pushed hard this year! πͺ
@ChrisCoplien I'm feeling it, too, my friend. It's easy to say stay positive and all that, but it can be hard. But I will say this. You got this. You fucking got this.
So, I want to play #KidIcarus on the original #Nintendo but I keep talking myself out of it. I don't know why. Other than what I played via the Nintendo World Championships: NES Edition on the #Switch, I know nothing of this game or the franchise.
Is this game worth playing?
A new episode of the Retro Wildlands #podcast is live! Today marks our first "Excursion", a much shorter trip into the #gaming wilderness. I'm talking about a cool indie action #RPG called #CatQuest, so check it out wherever you listen to podcasts!

@Bloodrose699 Jury's still out. I'm having an okay time with it after 4 hours. Combat is pretty simple and the story doesn't really have any high stakes or anything. I wouldn't rush out to get this unless you're itching for a laid back, not very challenging RPG.
Picked up Mario and Luigi Brothership today from my favorite game store! I've always wanted to get into the #MarioandLuigi RPGs so this seemed like a no brainer!
Did you grab a copy today? What do you think of the series?
It is done! #Contra3: The Alien Wars was one hell of a ride! Hard as $@#%, too. I can see why so many people love this one. Tight controls, awesome visuals and adrenaline pumping action. I do wish I had a friend to play this one with, though!
