Yer two old uncles reminisce on the 1980s with their top 5 micro computer games.

We've got a clean sweep for the year 2001 this week, with the lads taking a look at "SSX Tricky" (PlayStation 2), "Wizardry: Tale of the Forsaken Land" (PlayStation 2) and "Crazy Taxi 2" (Dreamcast). Also featuring: cursed Geography trips, history lessons and Wesley Snipes appreciation.

Settle in loreheids, for it's time for another esoteric listicle.

Andy, Mick and Mick give us their tap 5 worst computer game characters to get stuck talking to at a house party.

McCormick looks at a game made by the NON-perverted French auteur in Tonic Trouble (1999) for the N64, Mick undertakes a modern apprenticeship in Breath of Fire III (1997) for the PlayStation and Andy Mac dives intae some deep-space survival horror in Metroid Fusion (2002) for the Game Boy Advance.

After a post mortem of Scotland's dire world cup performance we dive into four fitba and fitba adjacent videogames - Mick plays his flugel out with European Club Soccer, McCormick reminisces on his Ecuadorian childhood in Despelote, Andy masters the league with e-Football: Kick Off!, and Johnny Branchfield fae the fitba special achieves salvation in Ascending Inferno

Mick looks at a less nostalgic part of the 90s with "Gargoyles" (1995) on the Sega Mega Drive, McCormick gives us a deep dive into cult activities in rural Donegal with "The Secret of St Brides" (1985) for the Commodore 64 and Andy discusses why "Yoshi Touch & Go" (2005) for the Nintendo DS is the perfect game for when you're Yoshi touchin cloth.

This would have made more sense if we put it out a few weeks ago - It's a listicle episode where we discuss gaming's best da's. We've got absent da's, we've got demanding da's, we've got weird Dr. Frankenstein figures. Who's your favourite?

Mick is joined by Mr Johnny Branchfield for one final fitba discussion podcast to go over Scotland crashing out of the world cup. There's a bit of analysis, chat of the journey overall, and hope (or lack thereof) for the future.

Andy twists around to avoid discussing Cutthroat Island, Mick spends one thousand and one nights with Shantae and McCormick kicks you in the stones in Power Stone 2

Mick and Andy are joined by a very special panel of Johnny Branchfield and Craig Dunning to discuss Scotland's match 2 narrow defeat to Morocco and, for some reason, what the ingredients to a Rusty Nail are.
