  • The Boys are Back in Town!
    Mar 18 2022

    After what feels like a lifetime away, the boy's finally sit down in the same room together and have a long chat about our favourite thing, video games!

    So many things have happened and so many games have been played that I just can't come close to fitting all of it in this description.

    Logan fills us in on his thoughts on the state of Smash Ultimate and the copious amount of fighting games he's been playing, Chris shares the spoils of his crippling addiction to buying cheap 2nd hand games and Sam reflects on his time in the zone in the janky masterpiece that is S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Shadow of Chernobyl!

    Buckle up retro fans, this is a long one!

  • Tom Clancy‘s Splinter Cell... the best stealth game?
    Nov 16 2021

    It's here! It's here! The long awaited 3rd episode of A Bit Of Retro? is finally here!

    After a few months of those isolation blues the boy's are back and they're back to talk stealth.

    We step into the boots of the only man who looks good in night vision green, Sam Fisher with Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell (2002).

    Plus, Logan gives us his thoughts on one of Chris and Sam's childhood favourites Sly Cooper and the Thievius Raccoonus (2002).

    Will Logan pop the brothers nostalgia bubble? Will Sam's cries for a new Splinter Cell go unheard? And will Chris make it further than the training mission?

    Discover the answers and much more as we chase the nostalgia dragon once again!

    P.S: This episode was recorded a few months ago so enjoy the portion of the podcast where we make outdated and ever hopeful predictions about a rumoured "new" Nintendo Switch. We hope you get a giggle from hearing us absolutely fall for it, hook line and sinker!
