Welcome to Retro Wars a weekly podcast series where myself and a friend talk about the games we used to play when we were kids. We will cover games from a range of consoles from the NES to the PS3. This show is for adults only. I would love for you guys to be part of the show. By signing up for just $1.50 aus dollars a month, so roughly 70p or $1 US, you can join our discord, message me one on one, send in letters to be read on the show, take part in pateron polls for our next game and give your memories about the game we are covering that week. Any money made from Patreon will go back into the show to help make it better. You can also support me by going to my Youtube channel, The Honest Pokemon Trainer, where I complete Pokemon challenges every three weeks.

All games series have to start somewhere, Tekken is no exception. Tekken has been going around for over 20 years but it started here with Tekken for the arcades and PlayStation 1. Does it hold up....er?
This week I am joined by Raging Demon who like me has a lot of memories with the iron fist.

Mario is back on an adventure to get the...six golden coins...because they matter in Mario lore. Super Mario Land 2 is the second Mario game on the Game Boy and is probably the best of the bunch. I loved this game growing up and so does my guest, Captain N from the Retrotopia podcast.

What happens when the game you were meant to make is not ready in time? Make a pinball game. That is what happened with Sega who did not have Sonic 3 ready so decided to make Sonic Spinball for the mega drive. This time, I am joined by Storm Beagle from the Retrotopia podcast to go over this little spinoff game.

Does anyone remember Bucky O'Hare? I do. I used to love the cartoon when I grew up, but I never played the NES game. It is a classic example of NES hard but unlike others, I think it is very fair.
I am joined this week by Jake from the Press B to cancel podcast.
Will we both finish this game? Actually.....we might do.

Emerging from the shadows appears the Shinobi...for the 3rd time. This week, myself and Anthony from 8String Fury gaming are talking about Shinobi 3: Return of the ninja master which released for the mega drive. Let's be honest, it will be better than Assassins Creed Shadows.
