Despite being over 27 years old, developers are still making games for the Game Boy Color - and one such game designer and coder is Shane McCafferty. He has been making games since he was 11, but has taken his side hustle and hobby onto a whole new level, releasing 9 Game Boy Color games on ItchIO in the past 18 months. We find out what it is that compels Shane to make games like Block Droppin, Cave Dave and Word Forward for the Game Boy Color, which projects kept him up at night, and the ones he's most proud of. We also discuss his current project to make a 'What If?' version of OutRun for the GBC. 🔗 YouTube Links: Itch.IO - @egvrooms-game-boy-games BlueSky - @EGVroom X - @EGVroom 🎵 Music: Neon Gaming and Space Technology, by Dope Stuff Robocop (Spectrum version), by Jonathan Dunn…

For 8-bit home computing fans, Thalamus is one of the great names of the late 80s and early 90s, publishing classics such as Creatures I & II, Hunters Moon, Hawkeye and Armalyte. When the company went bankrupt in the early 1990s, everyone thought the story was over - but the rights to the games were bought by former Commodore Format games writer Andy Roberts, and the company was reborn. This interview with Andy Roberts tells the full story of Thalamus's heyday, decline and return, including insights into the 80s/90s games industry, writing for Zzap64! and Commodore Format, publishing games in the early noughties and two of the latest games, Ceccanoid and Roguecraft. 🔗 Links: Website - thalamusdigital.co.uk Itch IO - thalamusdigital.itch.io Facebook - @thalamusdigital X - @thalamusdigital Bluesky - thalamusdigital.bsky.social Evercade - Thalamus Collection 1 🎵 Music: Neon Gaming, by Dope Stuff Wizzball (C64 remix), by Martin Galway and remixed by Tonka…

In this episode we take a departure from our usual format focusing on Evercade to interview Chris Smith, CTO of Retro Games Ltd, about the launch of 'The Spectrum' – a modern day recreation of the iconic ZX Spectrum from 1982. Chris is literally the man who wrote the book on the ZX Spectrum and is full of knowledge about the inner workings of the much-loved 80s home computer. So, it's no surprise that after the launch of reimagined versions of the C64, Amiga and Atari 400, we now have The Spectrum. In this interview, Chris explains why they waited this long to tackle The Spectrum, described some of the challenges in the design and production, and given us a taste of his own home computer favourites. If you're a proud new owner of The Spectrum, or just have an interest in home computer history, you'll love this episode. 🔗 Links: Website - Retrogames.biz Facebook - Retro Games Ltd Facebook - The Spectrum Group 🎵 Music: Neon Gaming, by Dope Stuff Desert Island Disc theme tune, by Eric Coates and his orchestra Monty On The Run theme, by Rob Hubbard…

1 Testing Evercade games, Duke Nukem remasters and making a hidden game on Evercade, with Shane Powell 51:04
One of the best thing about Evercade is meeting interesting people who make you think differently about retro gaming and computing generally, not just on the platform - and this week's guest is no different. Shane Powell - aka Kenjara - works in the IT industry and discovered Evercade in the early days and has since become part of the scene, helping to test games, assist with the development of the Duke Nukem Collection 1 remasters, and even publishing his own 'hidden game'. This interview covers all this and more, including his Desert Island Carts. Make sure you stay to the end to hear Shane's fabulous playout music. 🔗 Links: Discord - @Evercade-Official (search for Kenjara) 🎵 Music: Neon Gaming, by Dope Stuff Desert Island Disc theme tune, by Eric Coates and his orchestra VVVVVV, by Souleye…

He shares his love of Evercade, his strange affection for Foxyland, and what Blaze needs to do next to keep the fanbase happy and ensure it continues to grow. As a grassroots football club chairman, we talk about the absence of decent football games on Evercade, Sensible Soccer aside, and what he'd like to see brought to the platform. Blunners is also a big Nintendo fan and talks about his collection, including his museum piece Virtual Boy, which he claims was ahead of its time. 🔗 Links: YouTube - Retro Gaming Revival Instagram - @RetroGamingRevivial1 Facebook - Retro Gaming Revival X / Twitter - @RetroGamingRev1 🎵 Music: Neon Gaming, by Dope Stuff Desert Island Disc theme tune, by Eric Coates and his orchestra War Has Never Been So Much Fun, by Richard Joseph and Jon Hare…
Boulder Dash was released in 1984 - yes, that means it's 40 years old - and to celebrate we caught up with the game's designer and developer, Peter Liepa. Boulder Dash was included on the Evercade C64 Collection 3 release this year and, despite its age, still plays like a dream. Peter explains the origins of the game, what it was like making games in the 80s and the creative process he went through to bring this classic to our computer screens.

Goodboy Galaxy is widely regarded as one of the best games on Evercade, so having the chance to speak to one half of the development team, Rik Nicol, was a too good an opportunity to pass up on. In this episode we find out how Goodboy Galaxy was conceived, why it was developed on Game Boy Advance, the biggest challenges in making the game, and what it was like working with Blaze Entertainment on launch. Rik also tells us about his Desert Island Carts and which piece of gaming music he would like to take with him to a desert island. If you enjoyed Goodboy Galaxy, you'll love this deepdive into the game.
