Welcome to another episode of Retrotopia: Another Video Game Podcast. This is a show where we, Alan, Brian, and Sam, get together to discuss video games from years gone by. We like to look at video games from the perspective of lifelong gamers and how they hold up in the retro sphere.
This week we are discussing Star Fox, a Super Nintendo Entertainment System game released in 1993 that puts players in the cockpit of an Arwing as Fox McCloud and the Star Fox team battle the forces of Andross across the Lylat System, using the Super FX chip to bring fast-paced 3D space combat to the SNES.
For the second half of our Double Feature, we are discussing Star Fox 64, a Nintendo 64 game released in 1997 that sees Fox McCloud and his team return to defend the Lylat System from Andross, combining explosive 3D dogfights, branching mission paths, memorable characters, and the introduction of the iconic Rumble Pak to create one of the N64's most celebrated space shooters.
