Retro Wars

Jump into your pods, the fastest racers from the galaxy are fighting it out to be number one. Star Wars Racer came following the release of Star Wars Episode 1 - The Phantom Menace, and although I didn't own a copy of this, I definitely played it. This week, I am joined again by my cousin Stefan where we try to work out if this game was a Mario Kart challenger or just a false chosen one.  You can...

Yoshi...the loveable..to some...green dinosaur thing. He has become a staple in the Mario universe, ever since his first appearance in Super Mario World. He has since gone to have his own games and Yoshi's story was the first one I played. Myself and Lyndsey Norris are replaying it on the Nintendo Switch and wondering what type of game even is it?

3D games were all the range at one point. Everyone had to do it. With Tekken and Virtual Fighter, other franchises were on the backfoot. Midway, wanted to jump in on the action and out came, Mortal Kombat 4......ewwwww. My guest is newcomer to the show, David Pietrangelo from the Remember 64 podcast. I hope he enjoyed it more than me.

When Street Fighter was starting dominating the fighting world, another game sought to take the mantle, Fatal Fury. Whilst the first game only had 3 playable characters, today's game, Fatal Fury 2, went full Street Fighter 2 rip off, but was it any good? I am joined by the Kommand List's Raging Demon to duke it out in the ring. You can follow me on the following socials: Twitter: @retrowarsuk Inst...

The grandfather of RPGs, the one that started it all, Dragon Quest..or Dragon Warrior. I had never played this before so I believe it was time I go back and learn some history. Joining me in my quest through history is Chris Coplien from the Retro Hangover podcast. He has been allowed by on after the Bouncer mess.  You can follow me on the following socials: Twitter: @retrowarsuk Instagram: retro_...

I love Final Fantasy 7...I love fighting games....add them together and surely it should be a hit. Ehrgeiz: God Bless the Ring.

When the world is falling apart, and gangs are taking over, there are only guys you can call, the 2 Crude Dudes. These guys will mess you up and throw you however they can.  I am away on my holidays this week, so it is a shorter show.

Gear up and it is time to head to war with Worms. I consider this one of the first multiplayer games ever. I played this for hours with my brother and we had so many fights.

There are sometimes games which provide players with horrific memoires. Games which haunt your dreams. Games which you will never want to touch again. Well, I present exhibit Lion King. This game gives me nightmares even now. A lot of people will be dreading even listening to this and I am so sorry from the top.  To tackle this nightmare with me, I am joined by Dan Coles who you can find here http...

With Nintendo dropping the GBA games on the switch, one of those was Minish Cap. I had recorded this weeks ago with Jarrod but with the direct....well we just moved it up. With it being Zelda themed, survive or die will be putting Midna and Ezlo on the chopping block.

Ahh Pokémon Gold and Silver, you taught me so much. You were one of the last games that brought me so much wonder and joy. A follow up from one of the successful debuts ever in Red and Blue. I have played this game so much it is silly. This is an old episode from my first podcast, The Pokeball, where I was joined by my good friend, Jake Mcauley, and boy did we have a great time with this one. You...

A new year and a time to start with of my favourites as a child, Mario Kart 64!! My self and Lyndsey Norris look at one of the best couch co-ops games ever made.

The little dragon that could, Spyro the Dragon for the PlayStation. I never played this one but my guest Anthony from 8StringFury gaming is a bit fan. I did jump into the little dragon's world and gave it my best go. I headbutted and fireballed my way to victory, but did I actually enjoy the game?

The little genie that could, Shantae. Once again, I am introduced to another game I have never played before and it was on the last ones games on the game boy colour.

It is ninja time and it is a gem. Revenge of Shinobi for the Mega Drive. This was one of the first games I ever played as a kid on my little Mega Drive.

This week, I am joined by friend of the show, CPC, The Christian Pokemon Champion, and the two of us are off to save our girlfriend from Neo-Zeed. It is another shortened episode as I...

Finally.....a Megaman game is being covered on the show and it is possibly the best out of the lot. Megaman X is a game I had never played before until my guest R9 asked me to cover it.

Ahh arcades we love them. They hold some of the best memories in my heart and then they get ported to the home consoles. One such classic was Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2: The Arcade Game. It was one neither myself or my guest, Rob Cox, had played before....I wonder if it will be as good as Turtles in Time. As always we have our letter section, stick it up your jinjo and survive or die. This wee...

The World Cup is alive!!!! With football season being in full swing, I decided to go all in and tackle one of the best sports games ever, Fifa 98: Road to World Cup. I loved this as a kid, so many memories. My guest this week is Dan Coles...who sadly...I made do this twice. I also have to say, I don't know what happened at the end but it missed our scores so I am sorry the show may end oddly. As a...

Link's Awakening was my first Zelda game I played as a child and I loved it....I still do. The special thing about this game, no Zelda...no Hyrule...no Ganon. It is all time to wake up that fish!!!

THAT ONE......this is the best way to describe this game. Final Fantasy 2 was first released in Japan and took a long time to hit Western shores. I finally had a good sit down with Chris Coplien and we had a good old chin wag about what is considered the most controversial out of the Final Fantasy games....and it was only the second one.    My guest this week is Chris Coplien from the Retro Hangov...

Get your skateboard kids, we are hitting the streets, bowl...I dunno I am not a skater kid. Tony Hawk Pro Skater is this week's game and this was a new one for me. I gave it a real go though.
