    Episode 118 - Michael Jackson's Moonwalker

    Time to get my brother, Phil, back on the show. This week we are playing a game from his childhood, Michael Jackson's Moonwalker. A weird film, a weird game. This is the mega drive version and not the arcade which was so much better. Will we be able to defeat Joe and save the kids?

    Episode 116 - Shadow of the beast

    Episode 116 - Shadow of the beast

    Shadow of the beast, when they said old games were hard, they were not lying with this one. Originally released on the Amiga, I played the mega drive version and it did not pull any punches.
    I am joined this week by Jake from the Press B to cancel podcast. 
    Will we both finish this game? No chance.

    Episode 115 - Streets of Rage 2

    Streets of Rage 2 is one of the best games ever made, this cannot be denied. I have enjoyed playing this game from it's release to today. It still holds up compared to it's big brother, Streets of Rage 4. This week, I am joined by Chris Coplien from the Retro Hangover podcast who cannot stop proclaiming his love for this game.

    Episode 114 - 3D Battles of World Runner

    Sometimes art can surprise you, it can make your brain do things you did not think were possible. In this case, making a game seem 3D when it wasn't at all. We are talking 3D Battles of World Runner for NES. Captain N from the Retrotopia podcast came with me on a game which we run.....a lot.

Mashed Potatoes

Great show. Lots of fun every week going back to the games we played as kids.

And yes I absolutely get the mashed potatoes reference. We have mashed potatoes here in North America too. We also have chips (you may know them as crisps) and fries (I believe you call these chips) and baked potatoes. They are such an amazing root vegetable. They can be boil or mashed or even put into a stew, and they are always delicious. Good pull sir. Keep up the great work
