It’s been a while so I thought I would post a little about why the show stopped.

Jeromy and I work almost completely opposite shifts now and both of us have basically moved on to our own thing. We still talk rather often but not during a time when recording a show would be possible. Jeromy Started a new site called playonscripts.com and is also doing some freelance coding work. I decided to re-create spoocher.com in to my personal blog. I know a few of you (our fans) have started a podcast over at http://www.theRetroLeague.com and I encourage everyone to check it out.

I can’t say that there will never be another retrocast but at this point I can say that it will be a long way off if ever. If anyone would like to keep this site going Just drop me a line in the comments or check out my blog(shameless plug) and contact me there.  Thank you all for being fans!

Thanks to Eric Ruth and his PixelForce NES “de-make” of Left 4 Dead, we now have an idea of what the zombie apocalypse simulator would have been like had it released in the ’80s. Valve is apparently aware of the project and finds the concept “hilarious.” Ruth reveals that he plans to release the full game as a free download in early January 2010 for PC. It features all the campaigns from the original game, including 8-bit incarnations of the special infected, for two players to play through — it is a NES game after all, fancy four-player didn’t exist.

The Nintendo 64 was Nintendo’s third home console and featured one of the most baffling controllers of all time.

Have you always wished that you could develop games for the Super Nintendo but couldn’t because you were only 4 years old when it was released in 1990? Here’s a second chance.

We’ve seen NES mods that incorporate a screen and controls into a cartridge in the past, but this example from Airz in BenHeck’s forums is just so clean and well-polished that we had to give it some love. Inside Airz says it’s just a generic Chinese media player that can play NES, Gameboy, and Gameboy Color ROMs, along with the relevant controller bits, a 2.8-inch LCD, 4GB of storage, and a rechargeable battery. Oh, and if you’re feeling particularly retro, you can hook it up over TV-out and play on the big screen. Not bad — and it’s for sale
