This week we're celebrating the 30th anniversary of a series that's been synonymous with SEGA since its inception: ToeJam & Earl. I've invited some of our homies from the SEGA community to share their memories of these thirty years and their hopes for the future of the funky alien duo from Funkotron. There's lots of that and music. I mean it. Glorious music.

151 - Alex Kidd's 35th Anniversary Special

Fri, 07 May 2021 00:00:00 +0100

This week's episode of The SEGA Lounge is a very special one as we look back at 35 years of Alex Kidd. 2021 marks the 35th anniversary of the release of Alex Kidd in Miracle World and I thought the best way to celebrate the occasion would be to invite some of my friends from the community to share their memories of past games and their expectations toward the future of the series.

140 - Best of SEGA in 2020

Fri, 19 Feb 2021 00:00:00 +0000

Ah... 2020... What a year! In more ways than one, a terrible year. Thankfully, we can always count on video games to offer some kind of escapism and therapy through troubled times. And boy did we all need that last year! Last week we looked at what I would like to think of as my way to bring some smiles and comfort into your life by way of this podcast. On this episode, I'm joined by some friends, 17 to be exact, from the SEGA community as we look back at some of the most memorable SEGA moments of 2020.

139 - Best of Season 5

Fri, 12 Feb 2021 00:00:00 +0000

In the first episode of Season 6, we look back at some of the best moments from the previous season of the show. Unfortunately, there's no time to highlight all of our amazing guests, but this episode is dedicated to all of them and their amazing stories and projects. Welcome back to The SEGA Lounge! Come on in and have a seat.

BONUS: Yakuza: Like a Dragon Review

Thu, 21 Jan 2021 23:05:51 +0000

Listen to KC's thoughts on Yakuza: Like a Dragon, the latest entry in the popular Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio series in this long overdue review of the game.

138 - Tom Campbell

Tue, 22 Dec 2020 13:49:00 +0000

This week, I'm joined on the Lounge by the amazing Tom Campbell. Radio presenter, part of the Cultaholic Wrestling website and YouTube channel and, most importantly I'd say, Sonic the Hedgehog fan. As you probably know, everyone's favorite blue hedgehog is turning 30 next year and Tom decided a good way to celebrate that was to put together an audio documentary about the games, the cartoons, the comic books and the fans that make the blue blur such a beloved character. This has been one of the best times I ever had recording an interview and that's saying a lot so I do hope you enjoy getting to know the legend that is Tom Campbell.

137 - Scott Strichart of SEGA of America

Fri, 18 Dec 2020 00:00:00 +0000

This week, I'm thrilled to be joined by Scott Strichart, localization producer of the Yakuza series at SEGA of America. If you listened to our bonus summer episodes, you may remember a talk I had with Scott back in 2018 on another show, which you should definitely go listen to if you want even more detail into his video game experiences. This time, however, it was great to have him on for the full Lounge experience. Listen as he discusses working closely with RGG Studio and the process behind localizing Yakuza: Like a Dragon and much more. We'll also find out if he is indeed worthy of his Twitter bio title of "Patriarch of the Yakuza Localization Family" in another challenge that is not for the faint of heart.

136 - Riku Rose of The Tojo Dojo

Fri, 04 Dec 2020 00:00:00 +0000

This week, I’m joined on The SEGA Lounge by Riku Rose, chairman of The Tojo Dojo, a recent but great resource for all your Yakuza and Shenmue needs. Created earlier this year, it’s grown in support on social media and has been sharing memes and news related to, mostly, the Yakuza franchise. It was really nice to get to know Riku Rose and put his love for SEGA to the test in another hard as nails challenge.

135 - James Brown and Matt Oliver from Shenmue Dojo

Fri, 27 Nov 2020 00:00:00 +0000

This week, I'm incredibly honored to be joined by the current co-owners of Shenmue Dojo, the most prominent online resource for Shenmue news, info and more, and also the most active community. The Dojo turned 20 years old earlier this month, which is in and of itself an achievement, but when you add to that the importance of its community (and others, of course) to the evolution of the Shenmue series, it's an even bigger deal. I've had the pleasure of sitting down with James Brown, aka SkillJim, and Matt Oliver, and what follows is a longer than usual episode of The SEGA Lounge, but also one that was certainly a pleasure to record as it's not very often that I get to have fellow Shenmue enthusiasts on the show. They also address the ongoing, yet already funded, Kickstarter project for Shenmue World, a fanmade magazine focused on Shenmue. I hope you enjoy listening to this as much as I enjoyed recording it.

Jord is the marketing wizard that connects the fans and Numskull, the people running the shop.

Fri, 06 Nov 2020 00:00:00 +0000

In the distant year of 2013, I had the pleasure of interviewing Scott Davies, a programmer, SEGA fan, and the creator of RetroAchievements, a project that intended to add achievements to old games. This week, I'm joined on The SEGA Lounge by Meleu, a staffer over at RetroAchievements. We talk about the site's inception, Meleu's work with the RA community and what's in store for the future. Do you love collecting trophies or achievements in modern games? Ever wished you could get achievements in your favorite retro games? Keep listening to find out how you can make that happen thanks to RetroAchievements.

Fri, 30 Oct 2020 00:00:00 +0000

This week, I'm proud to be joined on The SEGA Lounge by three members of the Victory Heat Rally team. If you're not aware of it, Victory Heat Rally is an upcoming retro-style, super scaler, arcade racing game, that is heavily inspired by classic SEGA arcade racers and is currently looking for funding on Kickstarter. I sat down with Ian and Aidan from Skydevilpalm and our old friend RoBKTA, one of the soundtrack composers, to discuss the project. And we also play a musical game. I hope you'll give it a shot as well while you're listening.

It's currently being funded through Kickstarter and it's exactly what it sounds like: a book filled with recipes inspired by the ToeJam & Earl series of video games.

128 - Mikael Tillander

Fri, 02 Oct 2020 01:04:00 +0100

This week's guest is Mikael Tillander, the Swedish developer behind a fairly recent Mega Drive game called Tänzer. It's a blend of different genres, the most notable ones being platformer, hack 'n' slash and shoot-em-up. A fast-paced action game with an amazing soundtrack that you can get for your Mega Drive or Genesis in physical format. I talk to Mikael about his hobby as a video game developer, his newfound love for the SEGA Mega Drive and what to expect from him in the future. Check it out.

Follow Mikael on Twitter: https://twitter.com/mix256

If you're curious about the game and want to know how it plays and sounds, I'll be doing a Lounge follow-up Twitch stream on my channel on Wednesday, October 7th from 9PM UK time. I'll be playing through the game, or trying at least. I'll probably be dying a lot so you will be able to at least laugh at my lack of skills.

As I mentioned last week, September 30th was International Podcast Day. We celebrated it early in a way with the amazing SEGAGUYS from The SEGAGUYS RetroPod, but I'd be remiss if I didn't give a shout out to other amazing podcasts out there:

The fine folks at Feedspot included The SEGA Lounge in their Top 10 SEGA Podcasts You Must Follow in 2020 list. Not only that, but we are number one on that list. Thank you very much, Feedspot, for naming The SEGA Lounge the number one podcast you must follow this year! Of course, none of this would be possible without you guys, the listeners and I have to say your support for the current season of the show has been tremendous and humbling. Thank you very much!

Fri, 18 Sep 2020 00:00:00 +0100

This week's guests are two members of the team behind Dormiveglia, one of my favorite games of this year's Sonic Amateur Games Expo. Dormiveglia is a 2D Metroidvania style game starring Quinn, the young whip-wielding hero of Spring Plaza. After their village is ransacked by the mysterious Somnia, Quinn quickly sets out to chase after her. Since the game is currently on Kickstarter trying to get funding for its completion, Darkonius Mavakar and Awesome3475 are here to tell us more about the origins and future of this project.

Fri, 11 Sep 2020 00:00:00 +0100

My guest this week is a fellow Portuguese who's been working at SEGA of Europe for six years now and is currently a Senior Designer. She is also a Twitch streamer in her spare time, and a very entertaining one at that. We talk about her gaming experience, how she got a job "making pretty pictures for the interwebs", and a stupidly hard SEGA Lounge Challenge gives Marta a run for her money... or is it the other way around? Ladies and Gentlemen, this is Marta, Marta Camilo.

124 - Carson aka Neo Hazard of SAGE 2020

Fri, 04 Sep 2020 00:00:00 +0100

The SEGA Lounge has officially reopened for business. This week, and it's a Lounge tradition already, we're covering SAGE, the Sonic Amateur Games Expo 2020. It's a special one, not only for the sheer amount of fan games and indie games that will be showcased, but also because it's the event's 20th anniversary. So you can definitely expect it to be bigger and better than ever. SAGE 2020 takes place from September 5th to September 12th, and it's a pleasure to have Carson, aka Neo Hazard, on the show to discuss it. Stick around for some interesting points regarding what makes this year's event so unique, what Carson thinks of the evolution of SAGE throughout the years and a crazy challenge, as always.

Fri, 28 Aug 2020 00:00:00 +0100

This week, we're going back in time to May 2018 and re-airing an interview with Michael Corker, former editor of Sonic the Comic Online. The comic was celebrating 25 years of existence at the time and Michael went on RadioSEGA's The Manic Monday Show to talk about the original physical comic, the online version that came after it, and more.

Fri, 21 Aug 2020 00:00:00 +0100

It's time to go into the vault and bring out another not-so-new chat. Back in April 2018, I had the chance to talk to Scott Strichart, localization producer of the Yakuza series. At the time, I divided the interview into two parts, with one of them airing in April, close to the release of Yakuza 6, and the second one airing in May. The latter focused more on Yakuza Kiwami 2, which would be released later that year. The two parts of the interview were compiled into one and now you get the chance to either listen to it for the first time or, if you're a RadioSEGA listener, relive it.

This week I'm bringing back an interview first aired on RadioSEGA's The Manic Monday Show on the 26th of February 2018. The person I interviewed is Steve, aka OSC. He is a long time collaborator of mine doing music for RadioSEGA shows as well as being the director of one of the station's remix albums. He was also kind enough to do the amazing remix that serves as the theme song for the current season of The SEGA Lounge and to allow me to use some bits of his works throughout different parts of the episodes.

Welcome back to The SEGA Lounge! This week, I’m talking to Andrew Dickinson. Andrew, is the author of the Dreamcast: Year One book, which was successfully funded last year through Kickstarter.
