Welcome to the 2nd annual RGDS Drunkcast Xmas Party! As with last year’s show, this episode will contain some highly offensive content (at least for the first hour or so), so please do not listen with children present, or if you’re easily offended.
If you decide to listen and then wish to complain, we don’t wanna hear it to be honest.
The boys get to together for end of year Christmas drinks to discuss the year of great podcasts and tell funny stories. If you listened to it last year, you’re bound to enjoy this one, and we even squeeze in some fairly serious gaming chatter in the final hour.
All of us at RGDS would like to wish our listeners a very Merry Christmas and hope you can enjoy listening to this show over the holiday period.
We’ll catch you next year!
@RGDSPodcast

Welcome to another episode of RGDS. Matt L hosts a 4-way roundtable with Ric, Garron and Matt A to discuss one of their favourite import consoles, the PC Engine.

We are also joined by special guest, Paul McCaskie of the Game Music Gaiden podcast who shares with us his unique experiences of the PC Engine and how many of it’s games inspired his own Podcast.
We hope you enjoy this unique journey into one of Japan’s most mysterious but high quality gaming systems. Be sure to check out the links below

Episode 200 has arrived so the RGDS boys decided to revisit one of their true loves of retro gaming.
The Sega Master System was a starting point for so many console gamers, with its quirky trapezoid design and it's awesome arcade conversions it was the darling of the 8-bit home scene in Europe.
Matt Aguilera, Jon Keen and Paul Driscoll share their stories of one of the most adored systems ever released, some tears will be shed and some great gaming banter shared in what will be one of the best RGDS podcasts to date!
Welcome to another fun filled episode of RGDS. In this episode Paul Driscoll (AKA The Drisk) is joined by Gordon King (AKA Kingy)
In the show we discuss games that were inspired by B-Movies. We have a great range of classic games to discuss from It Came From The Desert through to the unreleased Sega CD game Bug Blaster : Exterminators... So sit back and embrace the beautiful cheesy world of B-Movie Sci-Fi.

Welcome to a special episode of RGDS, where Matt interviews Colin Dimond, the co-founder of the famous Import store 'Console Concepts'. Colin's career spanned from the late 80's into the mid-2000's whereby he ran several stores specialising in the import of consoles and games such as the PC Engine, Mega Drive, Super Famicom and Neo Geo.
If you were a regular reader of magazines such as CVG, Mean Machines, Super Play and many others of the era, no doubt you’d have seen some of Console Concepts legendary full page colour adverts, or perhaps even bought you first import console and games from them.
Colin's story is a fascinating one, as he used knowledge of his other big passion (importing 60's Soul music) and applied it to the video game business to create one of the most infamous and memorable video game stores during the peak of the Retro Years.
