We’re gonna travel back in time, we’ll talk all the movies, shows and toys that surround that game.

    Diddy Kong Racing - That Game Rules! Ep 038

    Racing out from behind Mario Kart 64’s shadow is none other than Diddy Kong Racing, the best kart game on the N64 without Mario in the title. More courses, more vehicles, upgradeable weapons, boss fights, and on and on... So why is this game not talked about? N64 and Rareware gave us some of the best games of our childhood, and then they split up to the heartbreak of us all. So, hop on that hovercraft, let’s take a spin and see where things went wrong and where things went very right, with a breakdown of Diddy Kong Racing!  Before we get bananas, we have to talk about the 1900s. We sure were excited about space disaster movies in the 90s, and we take a side trip to talk about Space Jam. I have some fun talking about Christmas mornings and trying to pick that perfect game. I also vent about Lego and the lack of creativity when it comes to being a boring adult.  As always, I can't keep the thoughts straight and talk about a whole bunch of other nonsense too...    Let's waste some more time this week on the worst gaming podcast on the internet!  Thanks again for giving this podcast a chance:  Send me messages at thatgamerules@gmail.com  Search for “That Game Rules!” on Facebook, YouTube, Instagram, and TikTok  thatgamerules.com

    Batman: The Video Game - That Game Rules! Ep 037

    Holy podcast episode description, Batman! We’re talking about Batman: The Video Game for the original Nintendo. A certified NES Tough game, mixing hardcore platforming with a fun, new wall-jumping mechanic. It’s time to dance with the devil in the pale moonlight, so let’s break down this game, gadgets, and levels so tough you’ll want to turn your controller into a batarang as it soars across the living room...  Of course, we’ll discuss Batman ‘89 as we dive deep into the Batcave. We also talk about the original crime busting gangster himself, McGruff the crime dog. Who would win a fight between Batman and Inspector Gadget? What about the Dark Knight versus Samus?  As always, I can't keep the thoughts straight and talk about a whole bunch of other nonsense too...    Let's waste some more time this week on the worst gaming podcast on the internet!  Thanks again for giving this podcast a chance:  Send me messages at thatgamerules@gmail.com  Search for “That Game Rules!” on Facebook, YouTube, Instagram, and TikTok  thatgamerules.com

    Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island - That Game Rules! Ep 036

    Let’s crack this egg open. How do you follow a game like Super Mario World? Do you play it easy and just ship a new game with some new levels? Surely, any Mario game is going to sell and make the company money... But that’s where Nintendo and the people behind it differ. Nintendo likes to take chances and has a great track record of those chances working out in the best way. Yoshi’s Island stands as one of the best video games of all time and let me tell you all the reasons why...  We’ll talk about the history behind Yoshi’s Island and take a trip back to the 90s. We were spoiled as kids with some of the best movies and Saturday morning cartoons. I talk about old technology, video stores, and shine a spotlight on the Disney classic, A Goofy Movie.  As always, I can't keep the thoughts straight and talk about a whole bunch of other nonsense too...    Let's waste some more time this week on the worst gaming podcast on the internet!  Thanks again for giving this podcast a chance:  Send me messages at thatgamerules@gmail.com  Search for “That Game Rules!” on Facebook, YouTube, Instagram, and TikTok  thatgamerules.com

    Doom 64 - That Game Rules! Ep 035

    DOOOOOOOM! A dark, scary game for a dark, scary January. Grab the BFG and let’s talk about everything that makes Doom what it is. The enemies, secrets, and the demon slaying weapons all combine to give us a Doom experience from a new perspective. Did Doom live up to the hype on the N64? What would that Doom 64 multiplayer look like?  Fire up that chainsaw and get the Hell in here!  We travel along Doom’s timeline to talk about history. We discuss the OG Doom, Wolfenstein 3D, and the 2005 Doom movie. Plus, the infamous summer of “Who shot Mr. Burns?”  As always, I can't keep the thoughts straight and talk about a whole bunch of other nonsense too...    Let's waste some more time this week on the worst gaming podcast on the internet!  Thanks again for giving this podcast a chance:  Send me messages at thatgamerules@gmail.com  Search for “That Game Rules!” on Facebook, Youtube, Instagram, and TikTok  thatgamerules.com

    Ducktales - That Game Rules! Ep 034

    Let’s solve a mystery, let’s re-write history. Ducktales! WHOOOhOOOO! Another killer combo from the studio that brought you Mega Man. Ducktales is a game that showed a whole generation of kids what licensed games could be....actually fun. We had been burned before by crap games featuring logos of our favorite movies and shows, but no more. This duck brings it to the table with great gameplay, beautiful artwork, and a soundtrack that slaps harder than a duck pun I can’t think of right now.  What the duck was going on in the 80s? A whole bunch of nonsense, we remember the glory days of Monster Jam, the dark times of Saved by the Bell, and the confusing and arousing antics of Howard the Duck. I say the phrase “duck boobs” more than should be acceptable today.   As is required, I can't keep the thoughts straight and talk about a whole bunch of other nonsense too...    Let's waste some more time this week on the worst gaming podcast on the internet!  Thanks again for giving this podcast a chance:  Send me messages at thatgamerules@gmail.com  Search for “That Game Rules!”

    Super Smash Bros. - That Game Rules! Ep 033

    Move over MCU, this is the original crossover event. Worlds collide in Super Smash Bros. for the N64. A brawling good time rocking those one of a kind N64 controllers. We’ve got Mario, DK, Link, Samus, and many more of the best properties Nintendo has to offer. Get ready to punch, kick, throw, stomp, and generally just smash your opponent around. Podcast Puuuunch!  Where were you on the eve of the new millennium? 1999 was a crazy time. Tech was getting bigger and scarier, fueled by the Y2K scare and a score of great science fiction films. Plus, the console wars evolve to include Nintendo and Sony, pushing Sega and their Dreamcast into a dark corner...  And of course, I can't keep the thoughts straight and talk about a whole bunch of other nonsense too...    Let's waste some more time this week on the worst gaming podcast on the internet!  Thanks again for giving this podcast a chance:  Send me messages at thatgamerules@gmail.com  Search for “That Game Rules!” on Facebook, Youtube, Instagram, and TikTok  Sign Up for the Newsletter:  thatgamerules.com

    Sonic the Hedgehog 2 - That Game Rules! Ep 032

    Sonic had some big shoes to fill with this sequel, and he raced past that finish line in style. The introduction of Tails, the spin dash, and Super Sonic himself add to an already impressive game. You don’t make Nintendo sweat in the 90s and not gain some respect. So, grab yourself a chili dog and let’s talk about our favorite blue hedgehog as we see if Sega really can do what Nintendon’t.  We jump back to 1992 and head right into the trenches of the Console Wars. Better yet, throw on some Moonshoes and faceplant instead. We talk Sega, Nintendo and sprinkle in some Home Alone 2 and Batman Returns for good measure.  And of course, I can't keep the thoughts straight and talk about a whole bunch of other nonsense too...    Let's waste some more time this week on the worst gaming podcast on the internet!  Thanks again for giving this podcast a chance:  Send me messages at thatgamerules@gmail.com  Search for “That Game Rules!” on Facebook and YouTube  Sign Up for the Newsletter:  thatgamerules.com

    The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past - That Game Rules! Ep 031

    The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past deserves all its praise and more. Dust off your boomerang, sharpen up your Master Sword, and hit up that hookshot with a little WD-40. We’ll explore all of Hyrule, Dark World, and maybe my mom’s basement in another dumb, retro episode of That Game Rules!  Well, excuuuuuusse me, listeners. But I have to talk about 1991. The Boglins make an appearance, Nintendo and Sega kick off the console wars, and we talk about the glorious masterpiece that is the Zelda cartoon.   And of course, I can't keep the thoughts straight and talk about a whole bunch of other nonsense too...    Let's waste some more time this week on the worst gaming podcast on the internet!  Thanks again for giving this podcast a chance:  Send me messages at thatgamerules@gmail.com  Search for “That Game Rules!” on Facebook and YouTube  Sign Up for the Newsletter:  thatgamerules.com
