Arcade Attack Retro Gaming Podcast

• Shenmue

  On a November day when the snow turned to rain, Ryu Hazuki arrives home just in time to see his father killed by Lan Di, a man Ryu's father obviously knew very well. Ryu attempts to stop Lan Di but is effortlessly beaten to within an inch of his life. After recovering from his injuries Ryu sets out to track down his father's murderer as well as uncover his family's secrets and the mystery of the Phoenix and Dragon mirrors sought by Lan Di. Shenmue is a superb game that incorporates elements of life simulation, adventure, and fighting with light role-playing. But the jewel of the Dreamcast crown faced a rude awakening on its release... The boys from Arcade Attack reflect on Shenmue and why it's so special.

• Worms

  Worms is a classic Team17 turn-based strategy game, where you and a team of worms must wriggle for position and prove who has the biggest arsenal, and yes, I'm including flying sheep and bazookas that even Rambo would be proud of!  The iconic game featured on every platform under the sun and incredibly started life in a teenager's bedroom. A chance opportunity then changed the gaming landscape forever! Hear all about the game and its development and also how the game made Adrian's work experience so memorable... This podcast episode is dedicated to Martyn Brown who sadly passed away just after this episode was recorded. Martyn was the co-founder of Team17 and a true gentleman. Fancy discussing this podcast?
