Fire Emblem: Awakening, my first ever Fire Emblem game. The one that started it all for me. Going back to it again after all these felt so good.

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...

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.

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.

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.

SNK vs Capcom Card Fighters' Clash could possibly be one of the best games I have played this year. I am so happy I got to play this game as I love a good card game. This was SNK's game they had whilst playing with the Capcom licence. Everyone was shocked they decided to make a card game first but who carers...this is amazing. This week, I am joined by Chris Coplien from the Retro Hangover podcast...

Grab your sword and shield, we are off on an adventure once more in Dragon Quest III. I love this game and have a silly amount of versions of this. Odd that I only started playing it two years ago.
