As requested by patron Robert C. (find him at https://www.tiktok.com/@robertcarr75), we're taking a look at the NES version of Bionic Commando!  A completely different game than the arcade game of the same name, Capcom made this a full adventure with equippable items, minor puzzles, and a much longer mission - but did this game's awkward mechanical arm work well in lieu of jumping?  We're playing it again now to let you know if we think it did!

Also discussed, turning each other into retrogaming characters, fake video game OSTs, and our poor understanding of copyrights!
