Retronauts Episode #72: Wonder Boy Vs. Adventure Island
Added 2016-08-08 23:52:59 +0000 UTCHello! I think we promised this one a while back, maybe? In any case, it's one we've wanted to put together for some time: An attempt to make sense of the weird world of Adventure Island, Monster World, Monster Land, Wonder Boy, The Dynastic Hero, and moooooore. Ray joins us for this one, because he's the only one who can keep this nonsense straight.
Ray Barnholt joins Jeremy and Bob in an attempt to make sense of the bizarre lineage of SEGA's Wonder Boy, Hudson's Adventure Island, and the pronunciation of "Westone." It's 100 minutes of confusion!

Thanks! We're so old! Sega CD was supposed to have happened a couple of months ago, but that batch of sessions fell through and it was delayed. As for the CRT question, depends on what kind of inputs you use. Component/S-video switchers are pretty easy to find. SCART/JP-21 is harder to do. I myself have an 8-input SCART switch on order that I'm hoping will be my magic bullet, though it's going to be a little tricky since my devices use a combination of EU and JP SCARTs so I'll need adapter. There's nothing easy (or cheap) about going all in on old tech.

2016-08-09 09:41:11 +0000 UTCCongrats, guys. I could be wrong, but according to my iTunes list this is your 150th episode since the Vol. III Kickstarter. Awesome work, and I've never regretted supporting you both on the Kickstarter and now here on Patreon. Keep it up. I'd still love a Sega CD-dedicated episode someday. Also, I just bought a house. Any advice on how to hook up multiple old systems to a single 25 inch Sony CRT. There's no where near enough connections on the back to connect everything I want.
