This Month In Retronauts: September 2023 edition (Patreon)

Oh hi, Diamond here. We're getting this one out just under the wire because I didn't want to release two monthly podcasts in a row in the following month, but this year September ends on a Saturday so I had to get creative with the scheduling. I hope you enjoy this conversation with Stu as a prelude to Spooky Season because we talk about ghosts, skeletons, and Smurfs.

Specific games mentioned in this episode include:

• Castlevania: Rondo of Blood (aka Dracula X Chronicles on PSP or Requiem on PS4)
• Tekken 7 & 8
• Mortal Kombat 1 (2023)
• Les Schtroumpfs
• Um Jammer Lammy Now!
• Wizardry: Proving Grounds of the Mad Overlord
• Pictures at an Exhibition (not a game, an album by Isao Tomita)
