Show Notes

This episode we're joined by Mike Diver, author of such books as From Coin-Ops to Table-Tops, The Console, Indie Games and Retro Gaming. He's got another book coming out in August all about the history of video games from the Aliens franchise. Funnily enough it's called Aliens: The Video Games: An Unofficial Guide!

Together we tackle such subjects as the mini Gameboy music player, Red Octane's return, the Eurogamer layoffs, Resident Evil's spoiler curse, Wolverine's head start on GTA6 and where we want to see Nintendo go next!

Don't forget we've also another Maraoke event coming up soon - Friday 13th March, Loading Bar, Stoke Newington. Get your tickets HERE!

You know the situation: you've just shopped your friends/colleagues to your bosses and have been gifted with a glorious free hour all to yourselves but don't know how to spend it? Well, worry no more because listening to the podcast edition of the longest running video game radio show (in the English language) is the answer! That's us, by the way: One Life Left.

You know the old adage: Wait ages for one Super Special Guest and then two arrive at once! Well, dear listeners, today we do indeed have TWO SSGs! We're joined in this episode by Matthew and Luke from Gilded Rune Games telling us all about life as a small indie dev company and Dupery, their latest game which is out tomorrow/Thursday 15th October!

Oct 7, 2026

Welcome to the longest running Celebrity Traitors radio show (podcast edition)! Only joking... or am I?!? This week we have Dan Houser avoiding GTA 6, RAM shortages continue, 8-bit handhelds delayed, OLL listeners battle via the medium of letters, AI game remixes and our intrepid hosts go and meet up with Dominik Diamond!

Sep 30, 2026

In this episode, dearest listeners, we have life being too short to grind in Final Fantasy VII Revelation, Sony taking payments through their controllers, Rockstar peddle collector's editions without games and the war of football games continues! We also cover the recent Game Anglia Direct 2026 and ponder will GTA 6 change everything?!?

Sep 23, 2026

This week we have Ste encouraging bad behaviour, Simon having a wee next to someone famous, WD40 seemingly working and then not, crunch time (again), the GTA 6 soundtrack, God of War "not exciting", Nighthawks "not filth" and a grown adult man lets his child wrack up a huge debt on his company credit card. Yep. Oh, it's video game related, though.
