Episode 60: Pioneering Retrogaming PCs and Fighting Sticks with guests Ed Farias and Aaron Holley of Arcade-In-A-Box
Manage episode 443258619 series 3390599
Sometimes, you can be just a little bit too far ahead of the curve. Our guest Ed Farias is just one of those visionary people, building proto-retrogaming computers as far back as 2001, way before Raspberry Pi or MiSTer was around. OGIH cohosts @GameAgentET (OGiH), and The Six-Button Samurai (along with special guest Aaron Holley) were along for much of this ride, especially when Arcade-In-A-Box became a force within the FGC, selling custom-made joysticks for Xbox 360 and the PlayStation 3 as Street Fighter IV resurrected the fighting game scene in 2009. It's a joyful and tangled DIY saga, proving the old adage 'if you build it, they will come' quite true. All this, along with the highs and lows of putting together a yet again too-soon retrogaming show for YouTube back in 2012 AND running a game center to boot. Join us for the wild yet absolutely true history of an intense collaborative journey on the latest OH GOD IT Hz!
