Show Notes On this week’s podcast, Dan and Kris catch up with the Alphabet Soup-er Series! It was Kris’s pick for the letter S, and he went with Silent Debuggers for TurboGrafx-16.

Show Notes On this week’s podcast, Dan and Kris take the Alphabet Soup-er Series to the next level by adding a rating system lifted directly out of the pages of GamePro magazine, and maybe even rank them all?

At the top...

Show Notes On this week’s podcast, Dan and Kris bring you the Alphabet Soup-er Series! This month’s letter was Q, and Kris went with Q*Bert for PlayStation and Dreamcast.

Show Notes On this week’s podcast, Dean joins Dan and Kris for the SAG Cartoon Express!

Show Notes On this week’s podcast, Dan, and Kris intended to talk about the Dreamcast celebrating its 25th anniversary, but got completely derailed by the announcement of the PS5 Pro and the general state of gaming.

Show Notes On this week’s podcast, Dean fills in for Dan, joining Kris for this month’s Alphabet Soup-er Series! It was Kris’s pick for the letter O and he went with the marble rolling wonder On the Ball for Super NES.
