Afterglow - Retro Gaming Memories

It's been a while since I covered anything for the Sega Genesis, so I decided to talk about my first experience with the system, the pack-in game for my model 2, Sonic the Hedgehog 2.

I didn't get to experience a lot of shooters on the NES, but this one stood out in a way none others did, and to this day I have fond memories of this game. It's easily one of my favorite NES games, and one not talked about much anymore. Join our Discord at https://discord.gg/nN4Zkk7 Check out friends of the show!

A dead franchise these days, Twisted Metal used to be one of the premier game series for the Playstation. In my opinion, the second outing was the best of the series, with tight gameplay and a wild story for each driver. Listen in to my memories of my favorite game of the franchise.

The R-Type series has been known as some of the most difficult shooters out there. However, this was one of my first SNES games, and when you only have a couple games, you tend to master what you have! Here's my memories of one of my favorite series.

It's about time I covered something that's not considered a classic, but something I played as a kid and have some memories of. That being said, this episode takes a look at Festers Quest, a game that I feel is almost something of a prototype for Blaster Master, another Sunsoft game.

PC Gaming gets some love in this episode, discussing Unreal Tournament and my introduction to the first person shooter genre. As of this episode, the game has been pulled from digital marketplaces but is one I am still very nostalgic for. Join our Discord at https://discord.gg/nN4Zkk7 Check out friends of the show!

This game gets a ton of hate in the online reviewing community.  That being said, you won't hear that from me in this episode.  This is a unique game that fits the lore of the character that I enjoy quite a bit.  Have a listen if you'd like a unique take on this NES game.

This time on Afterglow I'm looking at one of my favorite early titles for the Playstation, a game that took concepts from the jet fighter titles on the NES and amplified it tenfold in Air Combat.

In the first six episodes I've discussed a lot of games most people would consider mainstream.  I also want to cover some games that perhaps aren't remembered by everyone.  So in this episode I discuss my memories of Mechwarrior for the Super Nintendo.

Going from old-school retro to something a bit newer, but something I'd still call Retro these days - a title from the original X-Box.  Not just any title though....this is probably my favorite game from that console, a game I spent a lot of time with discovering online console play with Halo 2.

Castlevania was a series I mostly enjoyed on the NES outside of a single GBA game, but years ago a friend introduced me to the Playstation release of Symphony of the Night and I became attached.  Here's the story behind my experience with SotN.

Mega Man has had an incredible run as a franchise, and while my introduction to the character was with Mega Man 2, my favorite in the series was Mega Man 3.  Explore with me why that is in this episode of Afterglow.

Welcome to Afterglow!  This show aims to look at my personal game memories on a per-title basis.  This is a new idea for me after listening to many podcasts and finding that most go over the game details while glossing over peoples personal experience with that game.  So this show aims to look at my history with certain games, and perhaps if it grows to something larger listeners memories as well....
