556: C64 Smash Bros, LEGO PlayStations & the Retro AI Backlash - The Retro Hour EP556

Smash Bros-style battles on a Commodore 64? This week, Chris from Games You Loved joins us to talk about a stunning free C64 brawler that brings two-player chaos to the classic machine. We also check out the kit turning a LEGO PlayStation into a playable console, Resident Evil Outbreak running in your browser, and an ambitious SNES demake of Castlevania: Symphony of the Night. Plus, rare N64 games return to cartridge, and we debate the growing backlash against AI-assisted retro gaming projects.
