This podcast is historically accurate. You can attack its weak point for massive damage. The era of the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and Wii was a monumental one. The advent of high-definition visuals, the improvement of online play for consoles, and unprecedented console processsing power lead to seven-plus years of generation-defining video games. Naturally, we're here today to talk about the RPGs. Today, four RPGFan panelists compiled a list of ten RPGs that debuted on one or more of the above consoles, and they have a lot to say about them. So which panelist thinks highly of Folklore? How many BioWare games made the cut? How does Final Fantasy XIII figure into this? Listen for all that and more, in today's Retro Encounter!

…Whatever.This week on Retro Encounter, the panel is back to offer their thoughts on all the (beautiful?) nonsense that happens in the second half of Final Fantasy VIII. Which one of us prefers Triple Triad over the entire rest of the game? Did our positive impressions crumble under the weight of the many, many plot twists? Wait.

I dreamt I was a podcast host. On this week's episode of Retro Encounter, a panel of four veterans and one newbie takes advantage of Zach's absence to play the controversial but undeniably stylish Final Fantasy VIII.

Weil er euch unbedingt den Indie-Hit The Planet Crafter ausführlich vorstellen möchte – ein Weltraum-Survival-Abenteuer, bei dem eure Aufgabe darin besteht, einen anfangs unwirtlichen Planet so zu terraformieren, sodass sich Menschen darauf niederlassen können.

Quit the idle chit-chat and let's listen to Retro Encounter.This week on Retro Encounter, we dive into the second half of Persona 5, including all the post-game Royal content. Did this game really need to be longer? What do we think of the new content? Just how long can one game be? Listen in to find out!Featuring: Zach Wilkerson, Audra Bowling, Michael Sollosi; Edited by Zach WilkersonOpening and ending music by Miles MorkriGet in Touch:RPGFan.comRPGFan ShopEmail us: retro@rpgfan.comTwitter: @rpgfancomBluesky: @rpgfan.bsky.socialInstagram: @rpgfancomThreads: @rpgfancomFacebook: rpgfancomTwitch: rpgfancom

Retrogames sparen is een lifestyle op zich geworden, waar Joe van Burik zich zelf 'schuldig' aan maakt, zoals we al vaker in deze podcast hebben besproken. Maar waarom doen bepaalde gamers dat nou, en wat zegt dat over onze tijdgeest en de manier waarop je games kunt (her)beleven? Filmmaker en kleurcorrector Bruno Ramos zocht het uit en legde het vast in zijn film 'Press Start for Nostalgia'. Dus spreken Joe, Donner Bakker en Jochem Visser hem in deze aflevering van All in the Game. Wil je Press Start for Nostalgia met ons in de bioscoop zien, op zondag 3 mei om 18.00u in Hilversum? Mail ons op allinthegame@bnr.nl en vertel ons waarom jij daar bij wilt zijn! Onder de inzendingen kunnen we een handvol plekken verloten. Over All in the GameAll in the Game is de podcast over games voor iedereen. Wanneer er iets speelt in de wereld van games, hoor je dat hier: spannende ontwikkelingen, boeiende onderzoeken en natuurlijk de nieuwste releases om te spelen op je PlayStation, Xbox, pc of welk platform dan ook. Onder leiding van BNR's techredacteur Joe van Burik hoor je gesprekken met andere gamekenners, zoals beursnerd Jochem Visser, techredacteurs Niels Kooloos en Daniël Mol én popcultuurkenners Donner Bakker en Sam van Zuilen. Ook hoogleraar computerwetenschappen Felienne Hermans en universiteit docent Laura van der Lubbe schuiven geregeld aan, en je hoort bijdragen van audioproducers André Dortmont, Ivo Klokman en Jeanne Heeremans. Elke week zijn er minimaal twee afleveringen van All in the Game. Of nog meer, wanneer er veel speelt in de wereld van games. Soms met impressies en analyses over actuele ontwikkelingen en nieuwe games. Andere keren kun je luisteren naar interviews met makers van bijzondere games, van Grand Theft Auto (GTA) tot Baldur's Gate 3 - zowel Nederlandse als internationale ontwikkelaars. Of we praten met e-sport-atleten, onderzoekers en andere experts in de wereld van videogames, in onze rubriek Main Game. En regelmatig laten we iemand van BNR Nieuwsradio aanschuiven om te vertelen over diens favoriete game van vroeger in de Retro-rubriek. In deze podcast kijken we verder dan alleen wat een game leuk maakt: we bespreken juist ook in de culturele, maatschappelijke, economische en technologische impact ervan. Jaarlijks gaat er immers zo'n 200 miljard euro om in de wereldwijde game-industrie, dat is al (vele jaren zelfs) daadwerkelijk meer dan de muziek- en filmindustrie bij elkaar opgeteld. Zo hoor je bij All in the Game niet alleen wat je moet spelen - en op welk nieuwe (game)platform - maar kun je daar nog bewuster mee bezig zijn, over praten en natuurlijk van genieten. Of het nou gaat om Super Mario of Sonic the Hedgehog, Fortnite of Roblox, voetbalgames van EA Sports FC of de FIFA, Call of Duty of Battlefield, League of Legends of Dota,of goude oude titels zoals Tetris, Rollercoaster Tycoon, The Sims of zelfs Snake. En we hebben ook aandacht voor liefhebberijen die dicht op games zitten, zoals Dungeons & Dragons, Lego en de films, series en strips rond reeksen zoals Star Wars en Marvel. Het komt allemaal aan bod in All in the Game. All in the Game werd als podcast al in 2022 opgenomen in het archief van Het Nederlands instituut voor Beeld & Geluid in Hilversum - als eerste podcast van BNR Nieuwsradio en één van de eerste gamepodcasts van allemaal. Gezamenlijk met talloze Nederlandse televisieprogramma’s, radioshows, games, websites, webvideo’s en podcast vormt dit materiaal de Nederlandse mediageschiedenis. Over Joe van BurikJoe van Burik is presentator, podcastmaker en techredacteur bij BNR Nieuwsradio. Je hoort hem bijna dagelijks in de Tech Update met het laatste nieuws over digitale technologie, en gaat daar in De Grote Tech Show (samen met Ben van der Burg) elke woensdag dieper op in met gasten uit de techwereld. Daarnaast maakt hij onder meer de podcast All in the Game, voor iedereen die meer wil horen over videogames.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

For the third year in a row I made it to Dice Tower West. Not only that, I enjoyed that convention with DaveO and other buddies. Not only that, but once again DaveO was my partner-in-crime for insisting we dedicate one day of our convention to focus on older boardgames. By "old" we mean games that are at least 25 years old. When we started this tradition that mean games published in in the last century, last millenium--1999 or earlier. Now, however, we can include games published all the way up to the year...2001 or earlier! That still leaves plenty of old favorites and dim memories we want to rediscover.   We give a quick rundown about the games we played, then spend the rest of the time talking about our favorites from the weekend, as well as fielding some listener questions (posted in advance on the Discord server!) about OG games. -Mark

For years, I've podcasted.

It also happened to be the last year before EA secured the exclusive rights to the NFL license, leaving many fans wishing we could go back to the way things were back then, and we were left with two games that many consider to be some of the best sports games ever made- Madden 2005 (EA Tiburon) and ESPN NFL 2K5 (Visual Concepts). 20+ years later, which game stands on top? That's what we aim to decide in this episode!

And so here we have Crazy Taxi (Sega, 2000), plowing through a bunch of mailboxes on its way to the podcast schedule. This is a seminal game, especially for Dreamcast owners and arcade-goers, that I had somehow never played before. So what was it like playing for the first time in 2025? Listen in to find out!

The mitochondria do all the talking this week on Still Loading. To wrap up Backlog Month I am joined by friend of the show Michael Berger from the Bits of Time podcast to talk about Squaresoft's foray into horror, Parasite Eve. Based off a book on the same name, Parasite Eve is a horror JRPG that came out in 1998 and has become a bit of a cult hit from that time. Michael and I had a ton of fun discussing the ins and outs of the game along with all the wild turns the story takes.

Worum geht's? 1986 erscheint mit Kid Icarus ein ungewöhnlicher Plattformer für das NES, der Elemente aus Action, Jump 'n' Run und Rollenspiel vereint – und dabei deutlich sperriger ist, als sein niedlicher Held vermuten lässt. Als geflügelter Engel Pit kämpft man sich durch vertikale und horizontale Labyrinthe, sammelt Herzen als Währung, verbessert seine Ausrüstung und stellt sich schließlich Medusa, der Göttin der Finsternis. Fabian und Gunnar sprechen in dieser Folge über die Entstehung des Spiels im Umfeld von Metroid, die Mischung aus antiker Mythologie und 8-Bit-Design sowie die Frage, warum Kid Icarus trotz seiner Ecken und Kanten bis heute Kultstatus genießt. Infos zum Spiel: Thema: Kid Icarus Erscheinungstermin: 1986 Plattform: NES Entwickler: Nintendo R&D1 Publisher: Nintendo Genre: Jump&Run Entwickler: Toru Osawa, Gunpei Yokoi, Satoru Okada Musik: Hirokazu Tanaka Produktions-Credits: Sprecher, Redaktion: Fabian Käufer, Gunnar Lott Audioproduktion: Fabian Langer, Christian Schmidt Titelgrafik: Paul Schmidt Intro & Outro: Nino Kerl (Ansage); Trash80.com (Musik)
