McCormick ponders the weirdly pacifist Cannon Fodder, Ruth punches Nazis in Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis and Andy Mac tackles the Dark Souls of mascot platformers - Rolo to the Rescue. We're also finally tackling Andy's favourite Shenmue, which is apparently a cross between Enter the Dragon and Rain Man.
Join us on a very loosely themed episode where Aero serves drinks in VA-11 HALL-A (and consumes a few himself), McCormick torments a few people about Tides of Numenera and Mick dives into his own past to discuss The Logical Journey of the Zoombinis - part cutesy puzzle game for kids, part liberation manifesto. We also have a bash at identifying some weird Pokemon cards from Japan.
Andy experiences the best of Treasure in Astro Boy: Omega Factor, Mick experiences the other side of Golden Eye and McCormick dives deep into the Legacy of Kain with Soul Reaver 2. Stay tuned to the end for a powerful dramatic re-enactment...
Totally not a filler episode. The two Micks take a break from retro and recommend some newer games you can get on Steam - this time it's Slay the Spire and Long Live the Queen.

Andy Mac becomes Little Mac in Super Punch-Out! , Mick jumps right into Mario and Luigi: Superstar Saga, Leo solves petty chronological crimes in Where in Time is Carmen San Diego, and McCormick is haunted by Gregory Horror Show.

McCormick talks third tier platformers with SuperFrog, Andy Mac traverses the planes of Guardian Heroes, Mick breeds some Dragon Warrior Monsters and absolutely DOES NOT mention Golden Axe ever again.
