The Legend of Retro

With the ringing of the final bell of class, Chops, Craig_WK, and the Glitch head to their afterschool dodgeball club, only to find themselves getting roped into an international soccer tournament? This isn’t just another sports game on the Nintendo, and I can’t help but feel like those players look awfully familiar…Later, it wouldn’t be a Retro Rewind without Craig talking about the history of East Germany, and to cap off the episode with the music bracket, we take you through a forest and then to a spooky castle!

In this week’s episode, what we have for you aren’t heroes in the half shell: what we have is another band of lean, green characters on your video game screen. After smashing our controllers in sheer rage, BECAUSE OF THAT STUPID TURBO TUNNEL, we try to relax with a trip to the past, in June of ‘91. To wrap up the episode we consider a philosophical question: what’s stronger? A flash of light in the gloom? Or the overwhelming power of darkness?
