Console Shock Podcast

Retro and current gen gaming chat, with Trev and Stu, its the Console Shockcast! The Commodore Amiga is a legendary computer platform, and Trev and Stu make no secret about it being their favourite of all time.

With the release of numerous mini system remakes in recent years we have pondered on past shockcasts if the Amiga would ever get the same treatment. Well it turns out, it has!

We talk about The A500 Mini, what it means for us as Amiga fans and for the Amiga computing community as a whole, including:

– Our thoughts on `The C64 Mini/Maxi`.

– Who will the A500 Mini appeal to?

– The announced games included.

– Does it hit that pricing sweet spot.

– Potential accessories for the A500 Mini.

– Will there be an A500 Maxi?

– Would a full size A1200 recreation fare better then an A500 one? – Can it replace a real Amiga? Intro/Outro Music – Deejay Stage Theme – Super Street Fighter II Turbo (1994) – 3DO – Composer(s): Isao Abe, Syun Nishigaki

For some, the news of the Switch OLED was a disappointment, but with the dust barely settled Valve threw down their own solution to high spec handheld gaming, the Steam Deck! It could be seen as the realisation of everything we hoped for (and then some) with the rumoured Switch Pro, but will it be a success?

Trev and Stu take a look at the device and untangle the announcement, along with everything else we know about it so far.

– Are we buying a Steam Deck?

– Will it challenge the Nintendo Switch?

– SD Card storage, will it be good enough to run games reliably?

– The advantages of cheap Steam games vs the pricey Nintendo Switch versions.

– Are the specs good enough for high quality PC gaming?

– The potential for the Steam Deck to be a handheld emulation beast. – Installing Windows, what would be the advantages?

– Will the Steam Deck spark an explosion in PC gaming handhelds from other manufacturers. Intro/Outro Music – No Chance In Hell – Vince McMahon’s Entrance Theme – WWF (1999) – Composer(s): Jim Johnston

In another Sega special, we talk about a very underrated add-on that has been unfairly tarred with the same brush as its 32X brother, the Sega Mega CD!

We try to change the perception of this misunderstood device:

– The history of the Mega CD

– How the PC Engine CD ROM prompted Sega to produce their own CD add-on.

– The extra graphics tricks the Mega CD adds to the Mega Drive.

– The large amount of disappointing cartridge ports.

– All of the quirky hardware variations of the Mega-CD.

– Mega-CD hidden gems – How could anyone afford the £270 for the system at launch?

– Could Sega have handled the Mega-CD better? – FMV games, were they crap?

– Legendary Mega-CD game “Snatcher”!

Intro/Outro Music – Hill Top Zone Act 1 – Sonic 2 HD – PC – Composer(s): Toni Leys (Original Mega Drive Version – Masato Nakamura)
