Have you ever wondered what it would be like to be a gamer in Japan? I bet you think it's heaven with a house full of games. Well, unless you are someone who is single or someone who cares more about their hobby than family, that dream could be true. For the normal guy with a family the idea of being a gamer in Japan isn't as great as you may think. For a start, Japanese homes are not so big plus the average woman isn't in to games unlike what the media will have you believe. So why am I telling you this? Well, in this volume of Retro Core I give you a quick tour of my home and gaming set up. Also featured in Volume 21 of Retro Core is a look at Saturn Virtua Fighter VS the Arcade version, Stun Runner for the Arcade, Moto Roader II for the PC Engine, Time Killers for the Arcade, Arrow Flash for the Mega Drive and finally Metamoquester for the Arcade. So, quite a packed show and quite a lot of arcade stuff too. For more details see http://www.segagagadomain.com/RetroCorepage-main.htm

It's been a while in the making but finally I've put the 23rd volume of Retro Core 3 together. The video quality is slightly lower in this show (still 720p) and does corrupt twice due my my video capture card having issues with an updated driver. Anyway, There's some good stuff in this volume with Dead or Alive on the Sega Saturn, Toobin' from Atari for the Arcade, a VS feature for Night Striker, Kat's Run on the Super Famicom, Tri Formation on the Master System and a new feature called Modern Retro where I take a look at a current generation game that is a remake, improved or heavily based upon a retro classic.
