No Weekly Retro Blog for this week
// ]]]]>]]>
Sadly we won’t have the time to get a blogpost for you for this week as we need the time to migrate everything over to the new site. With that said, as of Monday the 6th of June, Retrospekt is going back to posting daily Retro Blogs from Dave!
So in the mean time, sit back and watch the count down, and don’t forget that if you’re in Adelaide, and free on Saturday...
Takahashi Meijin leaving Hudson Soft →
tinycartridge:
While the recent dismantling of Hudson Soft into a source of cell-phone game IP was disheartening, it didn’t really feel like the death of the company. But now, the dream is unquestionably over.
Takahashi Meijin is leaving the company on May 31. In a post on his 16Shot blog (which is also ending), he apologized for the abruptness of the announcement, and said that he doesn’t...

Super 8: The Ultimate Downgrade Peripheral
Written by Paul Monopoli
Console collecting… It can take up a lot of room can’t it? I love my SNES collection, but every now & again I feel like playing some Famicom or NES games. Trying to find the machines though & then dig them out of wherever they are means I normally can’t be bothered. For most people though, Famicom games aren’t even an option as they...

Last night was a lot of fun! Loads of cocktails, loads of retrogaming, and loads of goosebumps from hearing untimely classic game music. For an event which had to finish at 11:30, it went off! The place got packed out by 8:15 pretty much :D Here’s some photos!
