RETRO TOP We’ve all seen top 10 lists in magazines, on YouTube and in podcasts. These are all subjective, and everybody will have a different opinion based on what they know. I decided to take the matter further, and rather than subject you to my personal top 10 I thought I would turn to those who were in the gaming industry as these now retro systems were current. Hewson Consultants were the developers of many games during the 8-bit and 16bit eras, both in their original incarnation and later on as 21st Century Entertainment. Hewson and 21st Century were responsible for Uridium, Exolon, Nebulus (Castellian or Tower Toppler on the NES and Gameboy) and the almighty Pinball Dreams and Pinball Fantasies. After nearly a couple of decades out of the limelight Hewson are back with a new title called Hyper EXPERT PICKS! Sentinel. This fast paced shoot em up was a recent success story on Kickstarter, and details can be found on their website: www.hewsonconsultants.com The phoenix-like re-emergence of Hewson Consultants was bought about by founder Andrew Hewson and his son Rob Hewson. Rob has been involved in the video game industry ever since he was a child, playing the games published by his father’s company. As an adult, he has become a successful coder in his own right, working on many high profile titles such as the Lego series. Both of them took the time to share their choice of top 10 gaming systems with Gametraders <strong>Retro</strong> <strong>Live</strong>. So I present to you the system choices from 2 veterans of the gaming industry...
