Hello and welcome to the Retro Hour podcast episode number 160, your weekly dose of retro gaming

0:35.8

and technology news with me Dan Wood. Me Ravi Abbott. And me, Joe Fox. Joe Fox, who has tore himself away from life on the road as a rock star. I've returned after licking my wounds from losing the Christmas quiz again. I'm never coming on that podcast again. But here we are. I'm back. I do think you've been at an after-party for like two months?

0:54.5

Something like that, maybe.

0:56.3

Because Joe's in a metal band, aren't you?

0:58.2

I am in a metal band.

0:59.2

You've been in a studio today?

1:00.2

I have been in the studio today recording, so I'm a bit horse, actually, today.

1:04.1

I've been a busy one, but yeah, I'm back.

1:06.0

You had to tour me away for the night. Well, actually, last week on the show, we're talking about this guy who's just released an album on a Sega Mega Drive, which is pretty cool.

And they had how Tojam and Earl were kind of coming into the modern age and having to deal with modern technology and their approach to it, these 90s characters. Been a lot of that around recently because I think, you know, Bubsy, there's like a new bubsy game coming out, isn't there? There's a new bubsy coming out, yeah. It already was a new bubsy. This is a sequel to the new bubsy, so it's the new new bubsy. Spiro as well. Spiro. We had crash. A couple years ago. So yeah, that's good.

2:01.6

So we're... a sequel to the new bubsy. So it's the new new bubsy. Spiro as well. We had crash. A couple of years ago. So yeah, now that's good. So with the new Tojama and Earl, maybe we should save this for the interview, but maybe with the new Tojama and Earl. So it's not a reboot. It's an actual sequel. The fourth game, yeah. It's the fourth game. It was the third? Yeah, there was. Number three came out in 2002. And we need to ask Greg about that.
