Today's episode is brought to you by Turtle Beach, the number one brand in gaming headsets and accessories.

This week in Ritronauts.

Forget it, Jake, it's the Cata Town. known. Welcome to a very special episode of the podcast folks. I'm gay. No, I'm sorry. It's not that kind of special episode. My name is Diamond Fight and I'm the host slash narrator this week.

Last year at Bit Summit Kyoto's annual Indie Game Expo, Jeremy Parish and I sat down in a cafe

and recorded a casual conversation about the retro and

equivalent games we saw at the show. This year Jeremy couldn't make the trip

and it turns out when you don't have podcasts permanently on the brain as I do, it's hard to find

willing guests to give up a full hour of their time at a busy event for a rap session.

Face with this scheduling dilemma, here is my solution.

Instead of one long discussion of this year's bit summit, I present you with three different guests in smaller but no less potent doses.

Two of these voices will be intimately familiar to long-time retinoc listeners.

The third may not immediately spark recognition, but fear not.

She's an experienced podcaster.

So of course, we segue from talking about our Bit Summit experiences

to anecdotes about playing decades old video games.

That's what you tune into retronauts to hear, isn't it?

In between these segments, I'm also including my own thoughts about games I played at the

show, which I think listeners should know about.

Let's all give our thanks to our regular editor Greg in advance for taking all these separate

recordings and turning them into podcast gold. Or at least copper, a conductive and useful

metal that may not be precious, but it works.

Damn it! Oh, In this first segment I'd like to highlight some games that I feel are retro and spirit and you know spiritual sequels
