    Topics discussed in this episode:

    • Streaming old games as part of the podcast.
    • How the ecosystem around discussing games has changed since our early days, where it was centred around magazine reviews, like Crash.
    • What's the potential for games-based communities keeping folks connected with others in retirement.
    • Will your grandchildren have fun playing video games with you? Is there an overlap of interest? Is it a shared hobby?
    • The idea of recreating childhood memories in VR to share with your children and grandchildren.
    • Can you go back and play the games from your youth? Will they still be fun? Could we replay them for the podcast to find out for you?

    We also announce who will be our first interviewee!
