HEY! Check out Alan's first foray into the world of narration in his debut audio book reading of HALF MADE UP over on AUDIBLE (UK Link, USA Link, Canada Link)

Welcome to another episode of Retrotopia: Another Video Game Podcast. This is a show where we, Alan, Brian, and Sam, get together to discuss video games from years gone by. We like to look at video games from the perspective of lifelong gamers and how they hold up in the retro sphere.

This week we are discussing Kingdom Hearts, a PlayStation 2 game released in 2002 that throws a spiky-haired kid named Sora into an unexpected crossover fever dream where Disney worlds and Final Fantasy characters collide. Armed with the magical Keyblade, Sora teams up with Donald Duck and Goofy to hop between iconic Disney films, battle the shadowy Heartless, and unravel a surprisingly emotional story about friendship, light, and losing yourself to darkness, all wrapped in flashy action-RPG combat and a soundtrack that still lives rent-free in gamers’ heads.

This week we are discussing WCW/nWo Revenge, a Nintendo 64 game released in 1998 that took everything fans loved about WCW vs. nWo: World Tour and cranked it up to eleven. Built on AKI’s now-legendary wrestling engine, Revenge delivered faster gameplay, deeper move sets, and a massive roster split between the warring WCW and nWo factions. With smooth grappling, intuitive controls, signature taunts, and a surprisingly addictive progression system, it struck the perfect balance between arcade fun and wrestling authenticity. For many fans, WCW/nWo Revenge isn’t just a great wrestling game—it’s the gold standard that defined an entire era of N64 multiplayer chaos.

This week we are discussing Ecco the Dolphin, a Sega Genesis game released in 1992 that blends action, exploration, and environmental storytelling into one of the most atmospheric experiences of the 16-bit era. Players take control of Ecco, a lone dolphin navigating vast oceans, ancient ruins, and alien-infested waters after a mysterious storm wipes out his pod. Known for its haunting soundtrack, minimalist storytelling, and surprisingly challenging gameplay, Ecco the Dolphin emphasizes sonar-based navigation, puzzle-solving, and survival rather than traditional combat, earning a reputation as one of Sega’s most unique and thought-provoking titles.
