Welcome to another episode of Retrotopia: Another Video Game Podcast. This is a show where we, Alan, Brian, and Sam, get together to discuss video games from years gone by. We like to look at video games from the perspective of lifelong gamers and how they hold up in the retro sphere. This week we are discussing Half-Life, a PC game released in 1998 that redefined the first-person shooter genre by seamlessly blending fast-paced action, environmental storytelling, and scripted narrative moments into a single, uninterrupted experience. Players step into the role of theoretical physicist Gordon Freeman, whose routine experiment at the Black Mesa Research Facility goes catastrophically wrong, triggering an alien invasion and a desperate fight for survival. Instead of relying on traditional cutscenes, Half-Life tells its story entirely through gameplay, immersing players in a tense, atmospheric world filled with hostile creatures, secretive government forces, and one of the most influential sci-fi narratives in gaming history.

We like to look at video games from the perspective of lifelong gamers and how they hold up in the retro sphere. This week we are discussing BioShock Infinite, a multi-platform game released in 2013 that takes players high above the clouds to the floating city of Columbia. A breathtaking paradise built on patriotism, religion, and denial. You play as Booker DeWitt, a down-on-his-luck private investigator sent to “bring us the girl and wipe away the debt.” But the girl, Elizabeth, is no ordinary captive. She can open tears in reality itself. What starts as a rescue mission soon spirals into a mind-bending journey through parallel worlds, moral contradictions, and the crumbling ideals of American exceptionalism. It’s a first-person shooter that mixes intense gunfights, skyhook traversal, and reality-shifting powers with one of the most ambitious stories in modern gaming.

We like to look at video games from the perspective of lifelong gamers and how they hold up in the retro sphere. This week we are discussing Super Mario Bros. 2, a NES game released in 1988 that took the Mario series in a bold new direction, swapping out the usual stomping on Goombas for picking up and throwing vegetables, enemies, and objects. Unlike its predecessor, it let players choose between Mario, Luigi, Toad, and Princess Toadstool, each with unique abilities, as they journeyed through the dreamlike world of Subcon to defeat the villainous Wart.

We like to look at video games from the perspective of lifelong gamers and how they hold up in the retro sphere. This week, we are discussing Mario is Missing!, a Super Nintendo and NES game released in 1993 that flips the classic formula on its head by making Luigi the star of the show. Instead of jumping through Goomba-stomped levels, players travel the globe in an educational adventure where Luigi must recover stolen artifacts and rescue his brother from Bowser. It’s part platformer, part geography lesson, and entirely different from what fans expected at the time—making it one of the most infamous oddities in Mario’s long history.
