I recently had a chat with Brendan, better known as BastichB 64k on YouTube. The focus of our chat (and his channel) was the Commodore 64, as well as growing up a gamer in South Africa. This is definitely one of those “slide over a chair at a bar/coffee shop and join us” type of […]
I recently had the opportunity to speak with Rich Whitehouse: Creator of the BigPEmu for the Atari Jaguar, contributor to the Video Game History Foundation and longtime game developer. There were so many things I wanted to talk to Rich about, but we kept it (mostly) focused around the Jag emulator, as well as his […]
A new Open Source IR Light Gun project by Greg Gallardo called ‘Devastar‘, is in the works and looks to support numerous consoles. While the project apparently got it’s start back in 2019 and has remained pretty quiet despite steady progress, it’s now caught our attention as just a few months ago, Greg decided to […]
Here’s an interview with Dixon Wu, the founder of the Hong Kong Retro Gaming Expo. I really enjoyed hearing his stories about growing up a gamer in HK, as well as how he was able to befriend an ex-Sega executive, which led to the funding of the first expo date! For that and some other […]
I recently had a great chat with Jeff Roberts – A chiptunes musician who also works on official video game soundtrack releases.

Here’s an interview with Martin Donlon, aka Wickerwaka. Martin’s recently released the R-Type MiSTer core, but also has been contributing quite a bit behind the scenes. It was a pleasure to have a chat with him and I look forward to working with him more in the future! As usual, these long-form chats are available […]
I had the pleasure of talking with Keith Cooper, partner at Morrison Rothman LLP about cloning. It was great to speak with someone who has direct experience fighting cloners and Keith did a great job breaking down what we all need to know. Hopefully we can use this knowledge to take steps towards stopping cloners […]
In today’s segment for “develpments I did not expect”, it seems the modern anime industry has fallen in love with classic SEGA, or at the very least, it has according to St1ka (that’s me). Long story short, modern anime shows have been showing cameos of classic SEGA consoles left and right during the last few […]
Here’s part 2 of the compilation podcast featuring some of the awesome guests of Retro World Expo. While the chats were equally as fun as pt1, nature and battery life started to take it’s toll: The sky blackened and we were getting tornado warnings on our phone, my lav mic cut out during the end […]
