DF Retro Super Show

John Linneman and guest Coury Carlson sit down in person in Coury’s basement for a DF Retro Super Show dedicated to arcade-to-home conversions. From Ghouls 'n' Ghosts, Bionic Commando and Thunder Fox and a slew of Sega super scaler titles through to truly massive ports like Street Fighter 2, the duo break down why some conversions shine while others completely miss the mark.

The DF Retro Super Show returns with another big signature episode. It's 25 years since the launch of the brilliant Game Boy Advance - so what better reason is there for John, Try and Coury to discuss the origins of the system, share anecdotes about the launch and then to spend well over two hours discussing every launch game in every territory?
