In our never ending battle against mediocrity, RFGO! fires another salvo of podcasting awesomeness across the bow of the Internets. Hoping to strike a direct hit, we invite Rich Grillotti from Pixeljam Games to sit down with the rest of us and discuss his company's neo retro games.
Highlights!
- Chad employs a ruse (a cunning attempt to trick us!)
- The dolphometer gets a power-up
- Ratmaze hint: The title letters are cheese
- Has anyone ever beat Pitfall?
- Chad dreams of little people in rain forests, in Oregon
As always, you can check out our show over at the podcast page, or just jump into a full time commitment by subscribing to us via iTunes (it's okay baby, we'll be there for you). So enjoy, and we hope to see you guys back here later for some tea, maybe some crumpets too.

Comments policy
Destructoid is an open discussion community. You don't need to "audition" to post a comment - just speak your mind. We respect differing opinions on the site, so have at it. Be smart, funny, insightful, clueless, or cute -- but back it up with substance. Keep your cool, keep it fun. We only ask that you act respectfully and above all: don't be a troll and ruin it for everyone else. Don't bring down gamers or we'll, you know, gently shoot you in the face and stuff you into a flaming mailbox. Each comment is your opportuntity to make this community awesomer. Is that even a word?
Avoiding the banhammer only requires common sense: spamming, trolling, racism, NSFW stuff, and other forms of sucking will not be tolerated. If anyone is griefing please report abuse. Be good. Don't suck!
Contest:
Must download and listen to this tomorrow.
I love you guys even more now.
I only won once, actually, but by Dyson's admission that contest was hard, so maybe that's why I seem like the Ken Jennings of Destructoid podcast contests.
1. Missile Command
2. Centipede
Yay Atari!
I never owned an Intellivision, as the system was dead before I was born. I want that DS collection to come out. I did start out playing the Atari 2600/VCS, though, despite being under 30. Frostbite is awesome.
2. Centipede
In case of split prizes again!
@Kif:
I just played Ratmaze and got a score of Poor. Go me! And I played Ratmaze 2 and was reminded somewhat of the shareware episode of Super ZZT that I played on the old IBM compatible handed down from my uncle. Monster Zoo, that was it. Random Honeymooners trivia as a gameplay mechanic? Count me in!
But remember folks, from here on out if you guess and someone uses your answers to get the correct entry, then it's tough beans for you.
Y'all rock, BTW.
What's disgusting is the realization that I owned the originals -- when they first came out!! That makes me older than ... what? ... 99% of most of the people on Destructoid?
