Game Hunt

by Glenn Chezzer

I’m going on a hunt

So that I find some retro games

There are treasures that’ll be found

So I stay off eBay

Let me take a peek

Can I take a look in your garage?

Cause I think I see a 32x in it’s box!

Everywhere that I search

A retro game I will find

Flea markets and garage sales

That 3DO game is mine

Searchin along the way

It’s a Famicom I see

I dig around for Earthbound

And take it home with me

Searchin’ for retro games

It’s a retro life for me

Old games are the best games

Since they go for money

Trouble paying rent

And my electric just got turned off

But I’ll take care of that

When I find Snatcher in it’s box

I’m all out of funds

Look at my car, they took it away

But I’d rather have a shitty life to still play my games

46, still no sex, but I am feelin alright

BUY IT NOW, got PayPal, my tax return’s going bye

Searchin along the way

They say I spend too much money

Nothing to really show for besides my Sega CD

Searchin’ for retro games

It’s a retro life for me

Old games are the best games

But now I’m out of money

Episode 9, Part1:  Chris, Nick, and Jamie return to the show after some much-needed time off.  Not really.  They are actually just lazy.

Chris and Jamie jump on a quick call that turns itself into an entire episode.  Today we talk about Jamie’s love for Nioh, Chris’s strange Craigslist encounters, and The Easter Bunny.  This is Episode 8 and you’re listening to The CNJ GameCast.

Featured Music in Today’s Episode:

Warsong, 1991 Sega Genesis

Composer: Noriyuki Iwadare

On this week’s episode Chris, Nick, and Jamie dive into Microsoft’s more detailed announcement of Project Scorpio.  Is Microsoft able to pull ahead after all of the missteps of the XBOX One’s reveal and launch?  And do console buyers care as much system specs this time around; especially with the affordability of a gaming-equipped PC?  We tell the funnies while breaking it down on this week’s CNJ GameCast.

P.S.  Late in the show we talk Nintendo conspiracies and predict the fate of Nintendo’s NES Classic 5 days before announcing it was discontinued.  Is this a case of some sharp industry minds?  Or just three old dudes who have been around Nintendo for too long?  Enjoy.
