Welcome to Button Buddies, the podcast where two pals, Tommy and Daniel, dive into the pixelated past to play and chat about retro video games! Each week, we fire up a classic or hidden gem, sharing our thoughts on how these nostalgic treasures hold up in today’s world. Think of us as your friendly, laid-back gaming book club. We’re not here to deliver serious critiques or deep dives into game history—just to have a blast reliving the games we love (or love to laugh at). With silly banter, fond memories, and a sprinkle of retro trivia, we invite you to play along with us!
