Bad With Games

We played Ultima V: Warriors of Destiny and Ultima VI: The False Prophet, which were released for PC in 1988 and 1990 respectively. In a surprise twist, we're finishing up the second Ultima trilogy by covering two games, to see just how far this RPG series has come. We discuss frustrating game loops, learning new languages, and the power of character portraits.

We played Big Walk which was released for PC and consoles in 2026. In a shocking turn of events, this multiplayer puzzle game is the first game from the 21st century to get a spot on the show. We discuss effective modes of communication, Australian accents, and how many cooks are too many cooks.

We played Frogger, BurgerTime, and Q*bert, which released in the arcade in 1981 and 1982. It's a back to school bundle as we clean up a few loose end arcade hits we've never covered before. We discuss the logic of Frogger, Q*bert's delectable toes, and why Mr. Pickle is our enemy.

We played Super Mario Kart which was released for Super Nintendo in 1992. This racing game takes things to a whole new level with the addition of items, and also karts. We discuss a lack of total chaos, the simple joys of battle mode, and that tricky little d-pad.

We played Crash Bandicoot which was released for PlayStation in 1996. One of the very first 3D platformers provides a new, but familiar take on the genre. We discuss unusual save systems, island divisions, and what the deal actually is with bandicoots.

We played Master of Orion which was released for computers in 1993. This sci-fi strategy game is the origin of the term 4X, which means it's a really big deal. We discuss sliding sliders, sliding increasingly more sliders, and the scourge of the Meklar.

We played Puyo Puyo which was released for the Mega Drive in 1991. (We also played its sequel and alternate versions!) Can this colorful blob matching puzzler get out from under the shadow of Tetris? We discuss the merit of garbage blocks, the complexity of Checkers, and what makes those beans so darn mean.

We played Quake which was released for computers in 1996. The latest and greatest in first person shooting technology, this is the last big project from Carmack and Romero at id Software. We discuss brown and grey color palettes, looking in three dimensions, and when not to use a rocket launcher.
