Podcast #072: Interviewing Palmer Luckey - CEO of ModRetro & Founder Of Oculus VR

In this episode, we are joined by Palmer Luckey, the Tony Stark of retro video games, the founder of OCULUS, and the genius behind the ModRetro Chromatic handheld that is without a shadow of a doubt the ultimate tribute to the Game Boy & Game Boy Color and the best way to play your favourite DMG and GBC games.

This is by far one of the best episodes yet, we chat with Palmer about his history in the tech industry, the founding of ModRetro as a forum back when he was just 15, how he wants to create the first virtual reality gaming museum, and why the heck a literal billionaire would want to make a handheld that loses him money.

Make sure to listen all the way to the end as we also have an exclusive announcement from Palmer regarding another handheld that he’s working on so stay tuned for that!
