Episode 23 of the Are You Game? podcast is here, and we have a special guest filling in for some of our crew members who are under the weather. Peter Biu brings his deep, bassy tones to the show and fits right in with our regular format. The wheel of topics spins and lands on a discussion about selling our gaming items on eBay and dealing with high taxes, or using alternatives like Facebook Marketplace and putting up with the hassles that come with it.
Dazalso sits down for a fireside chat with Kim Justice, adding even more excitement to this packed episode. Don't miss out on all the gaming goodness we have in store for you! And if you're still with us, please consider leaving us a review - we'd greatly appreciate it. Thanks for tuning in, and until next time, keep on gaming!

On this week’s episode we are excited to talk with Jon Hare from Tower Studios. You may remember Jon as being the co-owner of Sensible Software and responsible for classics such as Cannon Fodder, Mega Lo Mania & Sensible World of Soccer to name a few. We delve into the world of Sociable Soccer and chat about the journey involved in creating a game and what’s involved including the pitfalls, the hurdles and the rewards. Get a deep insight into the process of creating a game and what’s involved along the way from the perspective of the developer. We delve into topics covering platform exclusivity, online challenges, turning one’s vision into a reality and how do you overcome licensing hurdles? We also chat about the 1990’s and look back at the original games from Sensible Software including a very interesting discussion about Mega Lo Mania. So sit back, pour your favorite beverage and tune in to another awesome episode of the Are You Game Podcast.

We are back for episode 13 of the Are You Game? podcast and we have a ton of ground to cover! So, there's no time for love, Dr. Jones! Let's get to it!
First up, we discuss the recent Xbox Partner Showcase, as the team picks their highlights from the presentation. Next up, we reflect on the sad news of the recent passing on the much-loved Akira Toriyama, as we pay our respects and look back at his vast catalogue of work in manga, anime, and gaming. To close out the 'recent news' discussion, we share our thoughts on the controversial 'Nintendo vs. Yuzu' emulation lawsuit, which forced the shutdown of the much-loved Switch emulator.... or did it?
To round out the show, we spin the Wheel of Topics™ and we are posed with the question: "If you could only play one system for all time, which would it be, and which three games would you choose for it and why?". We would also love to hear your answers in our freshly mint Facebook page, on the link below!
