Bruce Lee – Cane and Rinse No.608
More than a decade after his untimely death, Datasoft released this 8-bit computer game based upon the legend of Hong Kong/US martial arts movie star, Bruce Lee. Leon, Chris O'Regan and Jesse - along with contributions from the wonderful Cane and Rinse community - dissect this brief but punchy action platformer with kung fu elements, from its intriguing opening to its surreally simple conclusion. We also take a look at the game's many ports, successors and fan-made follow-up.

Castlevania: Rondo of Blood – Cane and Rinse No.607
Leaping back over the drawbridge of doom and into the castle of mystery, we dance a do-si-do to the Rondo of Blood. Leon, Leah, Michiel, Rich(ter) and community contributors analyse and review the appeal of this cult, hipster classic, as well as taking a glance at the game's ports, conversions, rereleases and remakes in our latest Akumajo Dracula show - our Castlevania: Rondo of Blood issue.

Leon, Brian and Leah - along with contributions from our faithful community crew - suit up and blast off to strange, new alien worlds in search of a lasting peace. With 17 years of hindsight, what did the motion-controls and much-maligned 'waggle' bring to the Samus experience?

Brave Fencer Musashi – Cane and Rinse No.605
In the late 1990s, a swashbuckling and experimental Square released a Zelda-like action RPG based on historic samurai, Miyamoto Musashi. Why not, eh? Join Chris Worthingon, Brian, Dan and Leah as we look at whether the game (like the legend of Musashi himself) has stood the test of time.
Customer Reviews
Excellent gaming podcast
I’ve been listening to this podcast for 5-6 years now, and the team still delivers! My teenage daughter has also started listening and she finds Leon very relaxing to listen to. As a host, Leon excels, and the rest of the team are great too; particularly Michiel, Chris, Jessie, Leah, Karl and occasional guest Ben. They’re always very passionate about the games they play… except for Rayman!
Phenomenal long form video game insight
As an adult, I am lucky to finish 2 games a year but whenever I do I check to see if that game has a Cane and Rinse episode. The discussion is insightful, thorough and entertaining. Often when I am struggling to pick my next game, I look at my unplayed episodes for inspiration. Even episodes on games I have no interest in playing are a joy to listen to such is the high quality of the show.
Great… Most of the time
As with most ensemble podcasts some members of the team are better than others but that’s personal taste more than anything.
This is often a great show but I just can’t stand the sanctimonious left wing sjw drivel they break out into every now again. You’re reviewing video games ffs, does anyone care what about what a podcaster thinks about “problematic themes“ in a 20 year old video game ? I know I don’t.
Keep up the good work !
