Ep 785 · Aug 3, 2026 · 1 hr 60 min

780: Pac-Man Fever
Ep 780 · Jul 13, 2026 · 1 hr 51 min
In the very early '80s, the world as a whole had come down with Pac-Man fever. But this condition wasn't formally diagnosed until budding musicians Buckner & Garcia released their hit album of the same name in 1982. Slapped together to address the then-recent fad known as "video games," this collection of songs took pop culture by storm—but the duo behind it failed to follow up on their tribute to arcade mania. This week on Retronauts, join Bob Mackey, Henry Gilbert, and Drew Mackie (of Thrillin…

776: The Golden Age of Pinball
Ep 776 · Jun 22, 2026 · 1 hr 7 min
Believe it or not, in nearly 20 years of Retronauts, we've never produced an episode dedicated to pinball. And the topic has barely been mentioned in passing! While pinball isn't necessarily a "video game," it shares the same spaces as arcade cabinets, and has incorporated screens with things happening on them for the past 35 years—so it's definitely within our wheelhouse. And, despite the supposed death of the silver ball, we're kind of in a mini-Renaissance right now? This week on Retronauts,…

768: Mother 3
Ep 768 · May 18, 2026 · 1 hr 51 min
For over a decade, its release seemed like an impossibility, but 20 years ago, Mother 3 entered our world—and then proceeded to never leave Japan. While it superficially resembles the earlier Mother games, this long-awaited sequel differs greatly in tone and structure, yet somehow delivers a satisfying (if surprising) final installment of Shigesato Itoi's beloved RPG series. On this episode, join Bob Mackey, Reid Young, Charlie Verdin, and Everdraed (all of Fangamer) as the crew turn off their H…

761: Shiny Entertainment
Ep 761 · Apr 13, 2026 · 1 hr 33 min
After making their mark on the world with the Earthworm Jim series, Shiny Entertainment set out to create bold, weird video games that weren't specifically engineered to sell action figures and Saturday morning cartoons. As the '90s rolled on, the developer released unique creations like MDK, Messiah, and Sacrifice, but the shift to the 21st century saw the studio transform into just another maker of movie tie-ins. And, as responsible, thoughtful podcasters, we can only ask "What the hell happen…
