    Return to the NES #1: Animal Heroes Edition - A Retrospective Review

    A lot of the games I played as kid on the NES sure were focused on friendly critters beating the tar out of villains of various varieties, when it wasn't pastiche plumbers and Astro Boy knock-offs. On this episode I focus on four "animal heroes" games I didn't review in my original time talking about the NES. Did your favorite make the list? Listen in and find out!

    FPSOS: A Retrospective Review of the FPS Games I Have Played

    This week I'm talking FPS titles; Wolfenstien, DOOM, Quake, all the classics and not so classics I have ever tried my hand at. I admit I'm not an FPS guy or a keyboard and mouse warrior, but there is good to be had here. Stop by for some talk about the games as I experienced them in the times I experienced them, and of course, my hot and cold takes on the genre as a whole and the games themselves.

    Zelda Souls-like: A Retrospective Review of Tunic and Death's Door

    There is a small but determined sub-sub-genre of games based on The Legend of Zelda named "Zelda-likes". Usually their own thing, a few have been fused with some of the Dark Souls game mechanics to form something altogether different and their own thing. On this episode I will be looking briefly at two of them: Tunic and Death's Door. Do the protagonists of these titles, a little fox in green and a little crow that reaps souls, have what it takes to overcome the impossible odds against them? Stop by for a listen and find out!

    Beyond the Gate: A Retrospective Review of Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance 1 & 2

    Ho there wanderer, stay thy course a moment and let me tell thee of yet another Dungeons and Dragons: Forgotten Realms set of game from over 20 years ago. On this episode I discuss my time with and thoughts on the Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance titles, side stories to the more well-known entries in the hallowed halls of CRPG royalty. Do the heroes of these hack and slash ARPGs have what it takes to stand shoulder to shoulder with their more popularized and overly dramatic counterparts, or if this the kind of campaign that fizzles out after a few sessions? You'll only get to find out if you stay and listen!

    Cyberdrunk: A Retrospective Review of the Shadowrun Returns trilogy

    Were you aware that Cyberpunk 2077 was not the only cyberpunk-theme tabletop role-playing game that was turned into a video game? On this episode I talk about my time with the odd Shadowrun Returns trilogy of games. Get ready for a somewhat different type of cyberpunk, where elves jack in to the Internet as digital holograms to do real world battle and shamans turn natures spirits against the technocracy around them.

    The Bruce Campbell Fan Club: A Retrospective Review of the Games of the Evil Dead Franchise

    On this episode I will be taking a short look at the games revolving around The Evil Dead cinematic universe and offering my thoughts on these titles as a fan of the movies. What are they exactly? Are they even any good? Were you even aware there were games based on a B-movie horror franchise starring the most well-known B-movie actor of our time? I'm here to talk just that, so grab your chainsaw and shotgun and let's see if we can clean up the streets and woods of Dearborn, Michigan once again. Groovy!

    Take It Outside!: A Retrospective Review of All The Fighting Games I Have Played

    Like anyone who has had one too many drinks at a dive bar can tell you, at some point the rowdy folks get tossed out to brawl in the parking lot. And a lot of arcade and home console videogames have reflected that "spirit" of competition. On this episode I wax nostalgic about all the fighting games I have played over the years, at least one I didn't do an entire individual episode on. This list is hardly exhaustive, but did your favorite make the cut? Stop by for a listen; I have a few stories to tell you.
