Big Boss Babble Episode 33 — “New” Retro-Style Game Mechanics: What To Keep, What To Drop?

Terry, Dann, Leo, and a returning Toby, discuss the fairly recent influx of retro-style games, and which elements from the past should be kept, and which elements should stay in the past.

Lives and credits, are they old hat? Brutal difficulty? Even attract modes are discussed. What would you keep from the games of your childhood?
