Friends, it's Friday, and that means RetroNots patrons can once again enjoy an exclusive episode.

In this case, we're bringing home the show.

Conventions have relaunched after taking a break for the pandemic,

who we've been masking up and chatting up audiences all across the country.

For our latest bonus episode, we have two panels hosted by myself, Jimmy Perish,

with an assist from Nadia Oxford.

From Retro World Expo and Hartford, the two of us explore the 1980s localization gap

and how it made the western gaming experience and the nostalgia we hold for it,

so radically different from what our peers in Japan knew.

Then, speaking of Japan-exclusive gaming in the 80s,

I walk a long Island Retro Expo crowd through the ups and downs of Sega's SG1000.

We know most listeners can't make it to these location-based events,

and that's why we brought along a high-quality audio recorder

to capture these moments and share them with patrons.

You can get a taste of these presentations with this preview,

and if you like what you hear, you can enjoy the whole thing

by heading over to patreon.com slash Retro Nuts,

and subscribing to the show for $5 or more.

Not only will that allow you to hear this episode,

you'll also gain instant access to years worth of bi-weekly exclusives,

plus weekly mini-podcasts and columns by Diamond Fight, Discord Access, and more.

That's a lot for five bucks, and it's only at patreon.com slash Retro Nuts.
