Do you like eating members of the workforce? Yes, well Abe's Odyssey is for you. One of the early PlayStation one games I played which scared me for how dark it is.

One day we knew we had to cover this. Bubsy on the Super Nintendo. I am spoiling this, I hate this game. I really hate this game. My guest Keegs loves his game, may it's childhood, I don't know.

Time to go on a large adventure with a little mouse. Mina the Hollower, the newest game from Yacht Club Games is now out on all platforms. I was very lucky to receive a review copy of the game, and had the chance to sit down with Nick Woznick and David D'Angelo from the team. I really believe this game will be up there come awards season but remember this game is hard.....very hard. You can follow...

I am BATMAN. One of the best lines ever spoken, and today, I play the cape crusaders first appearance on the NES. I had heard this was a difficult game but I decided I wanted to have a challenge.

Super Mario 64, one of the biggest games of our generation. It brought us kicking and screaming into the 3D with one little plumber.

It is time for the final fight.....in chibi form. Yes, we are talking Mighty Final Fight for the NES. A game I never knew existed because it came so late in the NES' life. It is a demake if you will of the original final fight with a chibi art style and I won't lie, I love this game. Joining me this week, is Captain N from the Retrotopia podcast.

Still one of the weirdest names for the video game, it is Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles III - The Manhattan Project on the NES. I had never played this prior to this podcast and this saddens me because it is a great game. The turtles are on the quest to save Manhattan from being lifted from the ground...yes it is odd. This week I am joined by Blaine the Hoagie man from the Retro Ryders podcast. You...

Ristar the Sonic killer, well that was what he was called at the time. Surprisingly this game was only released on the mega drive and game gear with no other sequels. Made by the Sonic Team, this was a very different game where one little star needs to go out to save his father....by headbutting his enemies.

We have reached episode 200!! I cannot believe we have got this far. To celebrate this, we are doing one of, if not, the best game of all time, The Legend of Zelda - Ocarina of Time for the N64.

Dino Crisis....Resident Evil with Zombies. Let's be honest, it is the easiest way to describe it. I played this as a kid, after my brother was done with it. So I decided to bring my brother, Phil, to talk about our memories growing up and have a good old chin wag about Regina and friends.
