Frank Cifaldi joins Jeremy, Ray, and Chris again to discuss the potential of Microsoft's Game Room, the fake history of Dark Void Zero, and the mysterious history of Sunsoft.

We kick off 2010 with our annual look-back to bygone years. Jeremy Parish, Ray Barnholt, Frank Cifaldi, and Chris Kohler explore the mysteries of 1975, 1980, 1985, 1990, and 1995 in this entirely too lengthy episode!

We've checked out for the year, so Sharkey, Tina, and Mike join Jeremy for an aimless, rambling discussion of random holiday gaming memories. Then Sharkey sticks around to talk about Habitat before Justin and Jade hop in to talk about FFVIII's on PSN.

Parish, Barnholt, Haywald, and Kohler discuss the strange resuscitation of Virtual Console, the overlooked legacy of Zelda's portable entries, and the 15th anniversary of PlayStation.

Jeremy Parish, Ray Barnholt, and Chris Kohler use the launch of the retro-tastic New Super Mario Bros. Wii an excuse to wax nostalgic about Mario's SNES episodes.

Dr. Greg Zeschuk joins Jeremy Parish, Bitmob's Jason Wilson, and at1UP's Travis Williams to talk about the history of his company: A plucky little start-up called BioWare.

Beautiful 2D is alive and kicking on Wii. WayForward's Marc Gomez and Sean Velasco talk about remaking NES classic A Boy and His Blob, while Shane Bettenhausen shares the secret history of Muramasa. Also: Yoko Shimomura, the return of news, and more!

We go on the road again (with all the rough audio quality that entails) to talk to Konami producer Tomm Hulett about his role in recent remakes and revivals of Rocket Knight, Contra, and Silent Hill. Other participants in this triple-segment show include: 1UP's Matt Leone, Konami's Pearl Lu and Simon Lai, and Nich Maragos from Atlus. 573 x 3 = Retronauts!

Episode 77 description: Also live from PAX! A guerilla-style episode featuring random conversations with the Earthbound fans behind fangamer. com, 1UP readers who love Bethesda and Super Mario, and the programmer for abortive Trek game The Secret of Vulcan Fury. It's a grab bag of randomness.

Live from Penny Arcade Expo 2009! Jeremy Parish, Justin Haywald, Nich Maragos, Shane Bettenhausen and Chris Kohler talk about history via Penny Arcade.

Ray Barnholt steps (er, sits) into the host's chair to lead up a discussion of a topic near to his heart- the TurboGrafx-16's 20th anniversary. Gamasutra's Christian Nutt and Brandon Sheffield guest, while Jeremy Parish serves as ballast.

Parish, Barnholt, and Kohler mark the Game Boy's 20th anniversary in America by talking about... every portable system except Game Boy.

With Dragon Quest IX a hit in Japan and Valkyria Chronicle getting a sequel, we take a short break from Retronauts for a test run of a podcast companion to our Japanese/Western/MMO RPG blog The Grind. (Don't fret, Retronauts will return to its regular irregular schedule next week... or maybe the week after that.)

The show returns with its participants in a rush to quickly discuss the death of Michael Jackson, and E3's reboots of Monkey Island, Metroid, and Castlevania; and the 25th anniversary of Tetris. This episode is so brief that one might call it the very soul of wit.

1UP contributor and Majora's Mask superfan Bob Mackey calls in to discuss Ghostbusters games with Parish and Sharkey. And hey -- Majora's Mask came out on Virtual Console this week, so we talk about that, too.

Kohler and Sharkey drop by to talk about Nintendo's most racist game ever, Punch-Out!! But first, Ray and Kohler pick apart Parish's essential Game Boy selections. Surprisingly, no one impersonates Mike Tyson.

We discuss the three Rs: rereleases (Virtual On: Oratorio Tangram for XBLA), remakes (Klonoa for Wii), and reimaginings (Silent Hill: Shattered Memories). Featuring James Mielke, Kurtis Seid, Ray Barnholt, Jeremy Parish. Special thanks to Konami's Tomm Hulett and Climax's Sam Barstow.

Retronauts hits episode 69 and we don't make a single joke about it. In fact, we talk about Star Trek, which is pretty much the opposite of sex. Also: Game Boy, Gunstar Heroes, and Virtual Console Arcade.

Jeremy Parish, Ray Barnholt, Kurtis Seid, Chris Kohler, and Jenn Frank break in a new program format. Enjoy an hour of highly-focused discussion on Game Boy's birthday, Vandal-Hearts' sequel, and Final Fantasy's remakes, plus 50 aimless minutes as well

Jeremy Parish, Andrew Fitch, and Shivam Bhatt join together with the other 105 Stars of Destiny to explore the history of Suikoden. Thrill as we obsess! Gasp as we alienate our listeners with opinions! It's suik-o-riffic.
