Retro Hangover Retro Hangover

We got a special one this week, folks! Our friends over at Mega Cat Studios (go listen to episode 108 where we interview Andy from MCS!) were gracious (foolhardy?) enough to send us a pre-release demo of their latest effort in collaboration with CollectorVision Games: Jester for the NES and SNES!
Jester is a game inspired by the long-lost 'Le fou du Roi' (King's JESTER), which was available exclusively on the defunct Videoway cable service system in the late 80s and 90s in Canada and parts of the United Kingdom.

Ok, so what if Mega Man was more like Indiana Jones but also gets in trouble for kicking an empty can into a nice lady's bakery and has a crippling compulsion to investigate every single garbage can he comes across? You get Mega Man Legends! Patron (and all around pretty neat guy) Randall rocket-jumps his way onto the show to discuss Rock Man's foray into the third dimension!

We swear these games use real words in their titles, even if it totally doesn't look like it. The second prelim is upon us, with only one moving forward into Round 1 proper. Let the dogfight commence!
