This week's patron exclusive bonus episode of Retrinauts represents an ending of sorts.

More than one really.

First, it's the conclusion of the Weird Controllers overview we began with episode 283.

And secondly, it's the final Retrinauts' east recording luck from the before time.

The last time the four of us, myself, Ben Gedward's, Chris Sims and Ben Elgin, were safely

able to sit together in the same room and hang out with live mics.

We're looking forward to the day we can safely reconvene.

And in the meantime, here's a memento from a more innocent year, 2019, and a more outlandish

video game peripherals.

We'll listen to the complete episode and complete your journey through the land of Chainsaw

joysticks in inflatable punching bag controllers, head to patreon.com slash Retrinauts, and subscribe

to the show at the $5 a month level or higher.

Not only will you get this episode, but you'll get all our previous patron exclusive episodes,

plus access to a backlog of weekly this week in retro columns by Diamond Flight.

And more, thanks for listening.

So with the preview, and please look forward to a look back at Ape Escape and the origins

of chronicling video game history with Monday's episode.

What is this first one you called the Mad Cat's Xbox Live retro arcade stick?

Okay, yeah.

So I actually think this one's pretty cool.

This is neat.

I've always wanted this of almost bought it several times.
