The best!

Hands down the most enjoyable and thoughtful C64 podcast out there.
Sanskritabelt

Pretty good, maybe not for extended listening

Giving this four stars instead of five because the sound clips that get played at the beginning of each segment get really old really fast, and this means I can only get through the archive one episode every so often.
Shotgun don't work

Rob always puts on a great show,

This podcast is warm, funny and comes with a healthy overdose of nostalgia.

Another great podcast by Flack

This is a great podcast if you enjoyed C-64 games back in the 80's. Great quality podcasts.

Awesome

Love the show man. I grew up on the C64 RPG's!
Langerdude

Brings back great memories

Rob does a great job at giving a concise but detailed summary of some great games from my past! If you grew up with a C-64, you will love this podcast.

Best Commodore 64 Game Podcast

I've listened to a couple of Rob "Flack" O'Hara's podcasts but growing up with a Commodore in the 1980s this is my favorite. Rob combines news, game information, trivia, sound, music, and even a game themed snack into a great podcast. My only complaint would be that we need to wait two weeks between episodes. I'd like to officially suggest that Mr. O'Hara quit his job and focus on Sprite Castle full time.

Wonderful

I would listen to Rob O'Hara read the phone book. In this show, he spotlights a Commodore 64 game and tells you everything you need to know about it in the greatest way possible. Rob is a fantastic storyteller and I highly recommend anything he does.

Great - despite being a C64 podcast

Being an Atari 8-bit user you might wonder why I would waste my time listening to someone talk about the Commodore 64. Well, in my mind, anything by Rob O’Hara is worth listening to. And anything with retro video games can’t be all bad. And this podcast isn’t. In fact, it is all good. Give it a shot!

It is fantastic!

Flack is going through C64 games and discussing in depth about them. Flack is a funny man and a natural at podcasting. If you enjoy the c64, this is a must listen!

More Flack podcast gold!

Another great podcast from Rob "Flack" O'Hara! These are a quick, fun and informative listen... Even if you grew up playing on the Atari 800XL like I did! Thanks Flack!
Tom Berges

Sprite Castle is the best!

I'm a huge fan of Sprite Castle! If you're a fan of the C64 then you should be too! Flack is the best!!!

It's what you crave.

For being the best selling home computer of all time there is a depressingly small amount of Commodore 64 podcasts.Thankfully Rob has stepped up to the plate and delivered with Sprite Castle. If you spent your teenage years playing C64 games, then this podcast is for you. Rob not only revisits games I remember playing, but also turns me on to ones I have tragically overlooked. I would recommend this excellent podcast to anyone who enjoys retro computer games, or to those who do not understand the COMMODORE 64 IS THE GREATEST COMPUTER OF ALL TIME (not the Apple II Carrington). ;)
