This week we’re dedicating our show to retro gaming. As we discuss the games of our youth, we discover that we’re still in love with many of those early games. Gaming editor Kyle Orland joins Senior Apple Editor Jacqui Cheng, Open Source Editor Ryan Paul, Social Editor Cesar Torres, and Ars Contributor Casey Johnston. We reminisce about consoles we had in our homes when we were young (Jacqui was only allowed to have one console at a time), the games we played at arcades, and what systems we took to our dorm rooms in college. Some of the classic games we dissect include Ocarina of Time, Castlevania, Pokemon, the Final Fantasy series, and more. Are any Ars Technica staffers still playing these retro games today? We’ll also learn how Kyle’s experience in computer science led to his interest in writing about video games. Tune in to find out.
