On this episode, I dive back into the NES and SNES Classic Collection app on the Nintendo Switch and try out a motley collection of games I never had, never tried in their first time in the public forum. What ones landed and what ones should have stayed buried? Stop by and give it a listen!

Got a short and sweet one this week folks! I dive back into the backlog of Sega Genesis games on the app for the Nintendo Switch, reviewing three games I didn't really get to play back when they first debuted on the system. Were they worth the effort to try out almost 30 years later? Stop by for a short time and find out!

Believe it or not, there are still a few SNES titles I have yet to weigh in on, and these might be some of the most well known and well trod titles in video game discussion. But I'm here to talk about them anyway. These are titles you know and likely, if sales numbers are accurate, probably ones you owned or player yourself even back when the SNES was new. But on this episode, I will try to add fresh words to the topic discussion, and maybe, you'll want to go back and play them again afterwards.

Boy, those added pay channel on the Nintendo Switch sure are something, huh? You can play NES, SNES, Game Boy and other classics for just a few more of your hard earned dollars. Or some not so classics. Or some genuine head scratching picks from obscurity. But not everything is there. On this episode I put forth four SNES titles I feel would fit the scattered logic of the SNES Classics Channel on the Nintendo Switch's console marketplace with all the same logical thought as I'm sure went into making available whatever is on there now. Stop by and feel free to give my argument a listen. You may even have a few of your own in the comments you'd like to see up there too; let us know!

On this episode I take one more tour of my personal childhood NES collection with five games that weren't ready for their own episode but are nonetheless important to my personal gaming history. Neither good not really that bad, these titles are odd ducks, genre orphans, arcade classics or series starters whom I just couldn't get past, but I spent way too long on them anyway. Stop by and take a listen for yourself!

We don't always make great choices when we get games, dear listeners. Great merchandising, hype cycles, allusions to other properties we do like, and clever marketing can all feed into trying to gloss over a sub-par title and get us to buy into it. That's the point, after all. Best understand that once in a while you'll pick up a bad game and not realize it until you are already playing it. On this episode, part two of three, I go back to the NES for some games that weren't very good but were not bad enough for a verbal takedown elsewhere. Maybe they are your favorites, but they certainly aren't mine. Give it a listen, and let's commiserate.

A lot of the games I played as kid on the NES sure were focused on friendly critters beating the tar out of villains of various varieties, when it wasn't pastiche plumbers and Astro Boy knock-offs. On this episode I focus on four "animal heroes" games I didn't review in my original time talking about the NES. Did your favorite make the list? Listen in and find out!

It's finally time to put the Blue Bomber in the spotlight of all of the games and series I have played. In this retrospective review I give my thoughts on my time with the mainline Mega Man games, Legends series and X series. Does the fighting robot hero hold up to the passage of time for me or does he need to be put back into storage? Listen in and find out!

This week I'm talking FPS titles; Wolfenstien, DOOM, Quake, all the classics and not so classics I have ever tried my hand at. I admit I'm not an FPS guy or a keyboard and mouse warrior, but there is good to be had here. Stop by for some talk about the games as I experienced them in the times I experienced them, and of course, my hot and cold takes on the genre as a whole and the games themselves.

There is a small but determined sub-sub-genre of games based on The Legend of Zelda named "Zelda-likes". Usually their own thing, a few have been fused with some of the Dark Souls game mechanics to form something altogether different and their own thing. On this episode I will be looking briefly at two of them: Tunic and Death's Door. Do the protagonists of these titles, a little fox in green and a little crow that reaps souls, have what it takes to overcome the impossible odds against them? Stop by for a listen and find out!
