Bad With Games

We played Sonic the Hedgehog which was released for Sega Genesis in 1991. We've spent lots of time with Mario, but now the plumber's arch rival rears his spiky blue head. We discuss cheap tricks, how fast you actually gotta go, and the Epstein files.

We played Super Mario World which was released for Super Nintendo in 1990. After toiling with Super Mario Bros. 3, was Will able to make a comeback with Mario's big fourth outing, or is this his worst showing yet? We discuss flying capes, hidden switch palaces, and the beautiful boy that is Yoshi.

We played Mortal Kombat, which was released for the arcade in 1992, and Mortal Kombat II, which was released in 1993. After breaking the fighting game genre wide open with Street Fighter II, it's time for us to examine its biggest contemporary rival. We discuss what makes a strong fighting character, the problem with the British, and the line between Yoda and Pennywise.

We played Final Fantasy II which was released for the Famicom in 1988. This Japan-only original released is sort of the black sheep of the franchise for its unusual leveling system. We discuss our confusion with combat, our struggles with Chocobos, and how hard it is to Learn things.

We played Kirby's Dream Land which was released for the Game Boy in 1992. It's the debut of everyone's favorite pink puffball. Is this game finally easy enough for even Will to be able to beat it? We discuss how challenge can affect one's enjoyment of a game, magic plates of food, and the warmth of the color green.

We played three Namco arcade space shooters: 1979's Galaxian, 1981's Galaga, and 1983's Xevious. After the success of Space Invaders, it's time to see how this genre evolved past fixed screens and horizontal enemy waves. We discuss what this genre even is, cross stitched blanket art, and Family Guy episode titles.

We played Contra which was released in arcades in 1987 and for the NES in 1988. We played this iconic run-and-gun shooter solo and co-op to put our gaming skills to the test. We discuss the Konami Code, the nature of co-op games, and the struggle to shoot diagonally.

We played Street Fighter II, originally released in the arcades in 1991. We tackled our first fighting game by way of Street Fighter II Turbo: Hyper Fighting on the SNES, and Super Street Fighter II Turbo, to see how the series evolved over time. We discuss why we're so bad at fighting games, why Blanka may or may not be positive Brazilian representation, and what the E in E. Honda stands for.

We played Dragon Quest which was released for the NES in 1986. This is the missing link in our RPG lineage, and we see how it fares against other adventures of the era. We discuss slimes, dragons, quests, and whether we're pro-grinding or anti-grinding.
