RetroforceGO! recording episode 33 early today: The bygone greatness of Konami

Recommended Videos

Your friends at RetroforceGO! are recording early today, (today being Sunday, not Saturday night) and I’m not sure why. Let’s pretend it’s because of something totally manly and awesome. We’re recording early because Dyson lost a limb while wrestling a gorilla, and we have to go out later to track down said primate and kick his ass. Yeah, that’s it. It’s totally not because one of us has to go to a meeting for their day job tonight.

This week’s episode is all about Konami and how awesome they were before they became Dance Dance Revolution INC. Back when they made games like Gradius, TwinBee, Contra, Axelay, Castlevania and hundreds of other classics. We were there. We entered the sacred code on our controllers before it even had a name. 

Hit the comments with your questions, and make ’em good: starting this week, the commenter with the best question wins $25! Why didn’t we do that back when Podtoid started doing it? Because we were busy wrestling gorillas! Also, we forgot.
