Operation Retroshock - Episode 5
Saturday May 22, 2010
Saturday May 22, 2010
Hello and Welcome to the latest addition of Operation Retroshock, its Episode 5 time and the guys have pulled another classic line up of games out the bag!
The First subject for this show is a quirky and interesting game that is a fond favourite of Chris’ the game is Animal Crossing for the Gamecube, DS and Wii. Allan tags along in this one as he doesn’t know as much when it comes to Animal Crossing but Chris gives one hell of a great run down of life in his own village.
Our next stop picks up the pace as we get stuck into talking about Sonic Adventure on the Dreamcast! The guys talk about their memories of Sonic and have a laugh at the fact that Allan didn’t actually have a Dreamcast and discuss how he actually played the game back in the day. Not only that but they give a run down of Sega’s success in recent years and ask the question could we see a Sega revival in years to come? You’ll have to listen to find out!
The Third stop of the show takes the guys down a Warp Pipe to Super Mario Bros. 3 for the Nintendo Entertainment System. Chris and Allan have a great chat about what they loved about the game and the new features it brought into the Mario series. The guys also have a bit of a rant about the current state of Nintendo and why they are losing their focus; does Wii Fit ring a bell? Allan also gets a bit annoyed at Chris twice in this segment, goodness knows what about as they always seem to give off to one another!
Finally on the show Allan gets as close to his dream of hosting an episode of Top Gear as he more than likely ever will! Allan and Chris look at Gran Turismo on the Playstation 1! Well when we say Allan and Chris we mean Allan, Chris nods in agreement as you will probably guess when you listen, Chris isn’t a Petrol head or Gear head for our American listeners.
So sit back relax and enjoy the show!

Its on like Donkey Kong! Hello everyone and Welcome to Episode 4 of Operation Retroshock! ITS GAME TIME! As you may have guessed this show is going to be game related. This is the perfect subject for our hosts who work surprise, surprise at a game store! The first subject at hand for the show is the global phenomina known as Pokemon! Yes we here at Operation Retroshock are going to try and Catch em' All! Allan and Chris look back at the original games that hit shelves just over a decade ago, that's right Pokemon Red and Blue for the Game boy. The guys talk about how they discovered Pokemon and just some of the crazy stories from across the years that have come about as a result of these Pocket Monsters. Not only are the original games looked at but there are passing comments about the Anime and other games released over the years. Next we take a trip to Donkey Kong Island to look at a game close to Allan's heart, Donkey Kong Country on the SNES. Why is this so? you'll just have to listen and find out! The guys talk about how revolutionary this title was both graphically, musically and in playability. So why not grab a banana and listen out for Allan making an idiot of himself at the start of the segment! The 3rd port of call for Allan and Chris is the fantastic holiday hot spot that is Vice City. Arguably the best Grand Theft Auto game in history but certainly the best for the story and music/radio stations. People still talk to this day that the music has a lasting impact on them so the guys will talk about this a great deal. So pull on a Hawaiian shirt, grab a cocktail and slide on those shades as we give you a tour of Vice City on PS2! The finally game over the evening requires us to go deep undercover alongside the world most famous Secret Agent....Bond, James, Bond....wait a tick if he is the world most secret agent then how do we know of him? Never mind! We take a look at Goldeneye on the Nintendo 64, a game that many consider one of the best games ever to grace the N64 and that's saying something! Listen up for what the guys have planned to do with the best N64 games! The guys round up the show by discussing about you guys, yes you the person reading this!
