Coming up on this week's show, how to emulate Nintendo's biggest failure, the return of physical media, and we chat to YouTube and indie game legend John Riggs.

And the Retro Hour podcast is brought to you each and every Friday with our incredible friends at Bitmap Books.

Now, one of their books I highly recommend, Neo Geo, a visual history.

Now, if like me, used to drool over the Neo Geo when you were a kid, from Art of Fighting to World Heroes, Samurai Showdown, Metal Slug,

S&K's classic games are all here and presented in gorgeous detail. You can check that out,

Neo Geo, a visual history and the rest of their retro gaming collection at bitmapbooks.com.

And with our lovely friends at PCB way.

Now, if you're working on anything retro at the moment, they offer a fully featured custom PCB prototyping service.

You know, they do low-cost, fast turnaround quality boards, and they offer services like 3D printing, injection molding, and lots more.

Hello and welcome to the retro hour podcast episode number 418, your weekly dose of retro gaming

and technology news with me, Dan Wood, me Ravi Abbott, and me Joe Fox.

And a very warm welcome to the podcast, of course, to show that every single Friday takes you on a

nostalgic trip back to the golden age of video games, exploring old consoles, classic computers,

arcades, and of course, bringing it up to speed on all the big happenings in the world of retro

from over the last seven days,

along with a veteran of the industry on the podcast for a bit of a chat in the second half of the show.

And here we are, over eight years of doing this podcast now, and it just feels like, you know,

it just feels like it's just got to a stage where there is actually more and more news to talk about every single week, particularly in the realm of indie development at the moment. You know, we've talked about this quite a bit over the last couple of weeks of weeks. You're actually an indie games award in Nottingham a couple of weeks ago, Ravi. And that was what you were hanging out with this week's special guest, which I'm sure many of our audience will be familiar with because he's a very famous YouTuber.

This is Mr. John Riggs is going to be joining us this week.

Yeah, I think the whole indie game scene at the moment is really amazing.
