    Oh yeah, brother! It's King of Games time yet again, and this go-'round we're throwin' down to crown the best game of 1996! Just like '92, there are so many solid titles to choose from that a preliminary round was necessary to lock in our sweet 16 contenders.

That Intro Tho

Chris & Shane have great energy & rapport and make tuning in a joy each week. Highly recommend as part of your regular rotation.

RockDad822 ,

Good job dudes!

I love your show. The first thing I heard on your show was you guys talking over each other. I know this public domain but your opening music. It is the opening music to Good bad or bad bad on YouTube. I will continue to listen, Thanks fellas.

Rare Mashup of Retrohead Podding

These dudes combine smart retro commentary with a refreshing masculine humor that proves you don’t need a pocket protector to know what’s what with old games…despite being completely in the wrong on their position in the eternal Diddy Kong Racing vs Mario Kart debate.
