De Ridders van de Retro Tafel Retrogamepapa

In deze queeste staan alle spullen centraal die je aan kunt sluiten op je console. Al zolang als dat games bestaan hebben developers er unieke apparaten bij gemaakt. In de arcade begon dit al met unieke kasten, maar ook thuis kreeg je al snel allerlei spullen erbij. Welke zijn goed? Welke niet? Hoe denken de ridders er algemeen over, is het een verrijking of onzin?
Intocht: VR bril shizzle, Dune - part 2 en de boeken, Dune (de eerste game uit 1992), Balantro, Llamasoft the Jeff Minter story, Scorn (en Myst games), Jay & Silent Bob's Mall Brawl. 
Spullen genoemd: Kinect, Sega 32X, Super Game Boy, Gameboy Player, R.O.B the robot, de Powerglove, Toys to Life: Lego Dimensions, Skylanders en Starlink, Guitar Hero gitaren en Rock Band spullen, N64 Transfer Pak, PSVR, de NES Zapper en Light guns algemeen.

In this 17th English spoken quest Michiel Kroder (HitP Studio, Video Wizards podcast) and Peter "Retrogamepapa" discuss what exactly makes a game "retro". When is a video game exactly "retro"? The answer(s) may surprise you!



In the entrace bit they talk about Tekken 8, Castlevania Rondo of Blood, Immortals of Aveum and Final Fantasy X.
Some games mentioned in the retro games discussion: Blaster Master, Bloodstained: Curse of the Moon, Castlevania, Ninja Gaiden, Super Mario Bros.

Wat hebben de ridders zoal gedaan afgelopen tijd? Michiel Kroder en Peter Scheffer (Retrogamepapa) bespreken de laatste games die ze hebben gespeeld en prikken ieder een game uit hun gamecollectie in het steekspel. Zo hebben ze het onder andere over een game met ballen schudden met zaadjes erin, een ranzige Myst game, de eerste Dune game en nog veel meer.
Games besproken in de intocht: Triangle Strategy en Tactical RPGs in het algemeen, Arkanoid games (waaronder Do it again), Immortals of Aveum, Scorn en de Myst gamereeks. Games besproken in het steekspel: Samba de Amigo voor de Sega Dreamcast en Dune (1992) voor pc/Mega CD.

Peter (www.retrogamepapa.nl), Klaas en Alex bespreken de aangekondigde games voor 2024 waar ze het meest naar uitkijken. Het is bijna vergeten podcast! Deze "vooruitblik 2024" had al veel eerder online moeten komen. Retrogamepapa lag te slapen en was vergeten Inmiddels zijn sommige games al uit, maar toch mag het de luisterpret niet drukken. Onder andere Star Wars Dark Forces, Rise of the Ronin, Senua's Saga: Hellblade II, Likie a Dragon: Infinite Wealth (plus andere Yakuza) games, The Lost Wild, Indiana Jones and the Great Circle en meer.

Peter (Retrogamepapa), together with Michiel (HitP Studio, Video Wizards pod) and special guest Leah Haydu (Cane & Rinse, Character Issues podcast), continue with the Castlevania games music in this second part of the Requiem of Play special. This quest is once again filled with lots of banging tunes, soothing melodies and rightout beautiful music. Here they start with a mobile game, Castlevania: Order of Shadows and go through several Nintendo DS titles, Lords of Shadow games and more, to eventually finish with Grimoire of Souls, also a mobile title, coincidentally! 
In the past there was a video game music podcast called Sound of Play. Episode 220 was all about Castlevania music, which you can check out here: https://caneandrinse.com/sop-castlevania-special/. Michiel Kroder and Leah Haydu went through the Castlevania games by release date, starting with picking music from the first Castlevania (1986-87) and finishing with Symphony of the Night (1997) and Castlevania Legends (1997-98). Peter (Retrogamepapa) kicks this quest off by starting with two Symphony of the Night tracks of his picking, before we travel further on. We then go through Castlevania 64, Circle of the Moon, Aria of Sorrow and all the other Castlevania titles up until Portrait of Ruin (2006).

What is a podcast? A miserable...no, marvelous pile of music! Peter (Retrogamepapa) and Michiel are joined by special guest Leah Haydu (Cane & Rinse, Character Issues podcast). This quest is all about the excellent music of the Castlevania series, starting with Symphony of the Night. Why do we start there? Because this quest is a follow up of an older, by now unfortunately dead and buried podcast. In true Dracula fashion, Retrogamepapa decided to (temporarily) resurrect this podcast with the Knights of the Retro Table, to finish the job.

Because there are so many Castlevania games, and we had so much to say about them as well as a lot of fun, this recording has been split in two parts. So basically there's in the end three Castlevania music podcast episodes, counting also the Sound of Play one.
