Welcome to the first of several episodes that RGDS will be releasing to commemorate the 30th anniversary of the release of the Sega Mega Drive in Japan, hosted by our very own Matt L. The Mega Drive was a big hit amongst fans of the early grey import scene, and we thought there was nobody better to guest on the show than Colin Dimond, the former co-owner of the infamous Console Concepts import store, based in Stoke-on-Trent during the late 80's and early 90s. Colin gives his expert insight into the impact the MD had on the import scene, where the MD lays amongst its competitors of the time and the legacy it left on the industry. This is a fascinating conversation, and if you enjoyed Colin's last appearance on RGDS in EP 197 (The Golden Age of Imports), you'll simply love this one too. #KeepItImport @Lambomat @RGDSPodcast All music on this episode is sourced from YouTube channel - Savaged Regime. The author reproduces famous video game tracks (particularly Mega Drive) using the MD's own Yamaha 2616 sound processor, but vastly more detailed. Some of the tracks you will recognise, but will never have heard them so good!

In a modern day top-trumps, Matt Aguilera sides as champion of PS1 and Aaron White puts up his dukes to protect the honour of the Sega Saturn. Popular opinion during their heyday would see PS1 win this battle hands down, particularly if sales figures have anything to do with it.

Host of the show Matt Lambourne plays the role of independent adjudicator as the champion of each console choose their favourite titles from 11 different game genres to determine which is the greatest machine of the 32-bit age. Stay tuned to this one, hilarity ensures as two grown men reignite playground style petty squabbles and we re-visit some amazing games of one of gaming's greatest generations.

Jon, the man behind such classics as Head Over Heels, Batman and Match Day games gives us an in-depth interview spanning across his full career. He is a true gent and I guarantee you will adore this in-depth interview. Show Notes: The ZX81 book that taught Ritman Basic in 1 week was Sinclair ZX81 BASIC Programming written by Steven Vickers http://zxnext.narod.ru/manuals/ZX81_Manual.pdf The book that finally taught Ritman how to write Machine Code was Mastering Machine Code by Tony Baker http://www.users.waitrose.com/~thunor/mmcoyzx81/ Ritman Raiders (1982) On the ZX81 A competent shooter on the ZX81 based on an obscure arcade game Jon stumbled across whilst camping with some mates. Play the Game Online Here: The Inspiration for Ritman Raiders we believe was an obscure 1980 Irem game called Uniwar S. Ritman would have played the bootleg version called Sky Raiders. The game is playable in MAME but here is a video of the game running https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bRrt_OSZnkY.

Download the game here Play the game using the Speculator emulator or the free online emulator here http://torinak.com/qaop Dimension Destructors (1983) On the ZX Spectrum Jon's next game was his first original game, being a 3D space shooter.

So despite having no personal interest in the sport, Jon set about making the best football series on the Spectrum. Download the game here Play the game using the Speculator emulator or the free online emulator here http://torinak.com/qaop Batman (1986) On the Various Jon next set his sights on a licensed game.

This was the tool Rare used, so if you played Donkey Kong Country or any of their Gameboy or SNES classics, then chances are it was written using Jon's development tool. Monster Max (1994) Jon would use the GLAM tool for a new isometic game for the Gameboy. Called Monster Max it truely is the best isometric game ever released.

Welcome to a special episode of RGDS, where Matt interviews Colin Dimond, the co-founder of the famous Import store 'Console Concepts'. Colin's career spanned from the late 80's into the mid-2000's whereby he ran several stores specialising in the import of consoles and games such as the PC Engine, Mega Drive, Super Famicom and Neo Geo. If you were a regular reader of magazines such as CVG, Mean Machines, Super Play and many others of the era, no doubt you'd have seen some of Console Concepts legendary full page colour adverts, or perhaps even bought you first import console and games from them. Colin's story is a fascinating one, as he used knowledge of his other big passion (importing 60's Soul music) and applied it to the video game business to create one of the most infamous and memorable video game stores during the peak of the Retro Years.
