99 – P-P-Please, Eddie! No More Roger Rabbit Games!
Download this episode (right click and save) We ingested quite a bit of Roger Rabbit for this podcast. While the Roger Rabbit movie is perfectly okay, the games are another story. It goes beyond the infamous NES one, as there were a total of four Roger Rabbit games. Yeah, that was news to me as […]
Dragon Quest III at 30
Today is the 30th anniversary of Dragon Quest III’s Japanese release. DQIII cemented the series as a cultural touchstone and something more than a fad. Lines snaked around blocks, kids played truant and the game became a national talking point. On the whole, the Dragon Quest series is very iterative. Each successive game builds on the […]

FuriousWang Plays The Legend of Zelda
I decided to get back to my roots and beat a game that feels like every gamer should defeated at least once. I didn’t realize how challenging it remained over these decades. So join me for the fun of attempting to conquer a game from my childhood! As always, like the video or comment. […]

I Wish I Was Mega Man – Magical Doropie/The Krion Conquest
If you couldn’t tell from the name, I’m going to be playing a few games, likely not to completion, that play similarly, sometimes almost way too much so, to Mega Man. Now before you go running off and decide “NOPE!”, I’m adding one new thing to this that should be a good place to experiment […]
Summer Carnival ’92 – Recca Review
Platforms: Famicom and 3DS Virtual Console On the very rare occasion, we get a nice treat on Nintendo’s Virtual Console.
