We step back into a time when Sega was king and giving Nintendo a run for their money! Special guest Ross Jaynes comes on board to celebrate all things Sega Genesis in celebration of the console's 28th anniversary. We got plenty of listener memories to share also. Let us know YOUR favorite Genesis games and memories!

We kick things off with a short news cycle on the upcoming Starcade marathon, as well as a Kickstarter campaign for a modern redesign of the N64 controller. Is it sacrilege to mess with a classic design, or is this a much needed change? Hit us up!

This week's Stage of History is all about the best of the Genesis with hack and slasher Golden Axe, run and gunner Gunstar Heroes, and underrated puzzler Dr. Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine! Robert then shares with us a single player Contra-like shooter Midnight Resistance in Obscura. We have our game giveaways to grab hold of, and another game of Random Select. Seems the tables have turned on Robert this time! Can you guess faster than our contestants, ARGonauts?
