This week, Andy, Diego, and Wiedo put on their spelunking hats and enter the cave of treasures to uncover forgotten modern games made for classic hardware. We flap through space in Spacegulls (NES), delicately bob through hazards as a vulnerable bubble in Böbl (NES), and navigate the mind-bending, multi-layered chaos of Endless Forms Most Beautiful (Commodore 64). We also puzzle our way through the stylish and retro-styled You Have to Win the Game(Commodore 64), while Diego rounds things out with atmospheric exploration in Knight’n Grail (Commodore 64) and battles against mythical foes in Pains’n Aches (Commodore 64).

Also this episode: Diego experiments with AI co-pilots for endless RPG adventures, using AI as a Game Master; Andy solves his CRT woes with a daring, transcontinental component pickup; and Wiedo grapples with the irresistible pull of addictive gameplay.

Join us as we unearth these modern indie retro gems hidden deep in the caverns of time!
