Andy Mac ponders what it is to be sexy in "Sexy Parodius" (1996), McCormick imagines life as a Victorian gentleman fighting the occult in "Master of Darkness" (1992) and Mick pilots his Mega Zord through some admittedly poor cultural sensitivity in "Mighty Morphin Power Rangers" (1994).

Hello and welcome to Dynamite Neddy - it's the retro games podcast where a couple of auld pals swap a couple of auld games.

It's relaunch day, and after a wee trip down memory lane we're kicking things off than with a look at our namesake game, the incredible Dynamite Headdy on the Sega Mega Drive.

Get yer tweed jaikets on and prawn sandwiches at the ready - we're going for some video game appraisal!

Andy Mac is putting his infamous valuation superpower to the test from his special antiques stall in Gourock - looking at titles from "Chuck Rock" to "Advanced Daisenryaku: Deutsch Dengeki Sakusen".

McCormick travels to Another World, Mick finds out if he's brave enough to fight in Ragnarok in Valkyrie Profile and Andy becomes king of the nerds in Canis Canem Edit (except we all know it's called Bully)

Mick wipes out on a gnarly wave in 16-bit surfer dude classic "Green Dog" (1992), McCormick tries to survive the Poseidon Adventure without the guidance of Gene Hackman playing a Priest in "SOS" (1993) and Andy Mac looks at the essence of a classic wee piler in the Mega Drive port of "Zool" (1992).

Dynamite Neddy is back at the arcade! This week we traverse back through the hallowed grounds of Largs and Scarborough and talk aboot some arcade classics.

Andy Mac ponders the life and legacy of everybody's favourite yellah baw in "Pac-Mania" (1987), a hungover Mick tries to recount a complicated science fiction plot in shoot em up masterpiece "Radiant Silvergun" (1998) and Mr McCormick explains who Wolf Hongo is and looks at "aff its nut in the best way possible" beat em up "Dynamite Cop" (also 1998).

A tribute to the bold yin - McCormick charges up to face Dragon Ball Z Budokai 3, Mick's dreams come true in Dragon Quest 6 and Andy throws projectiles at animals in Legacy of Goku 2

We're in with a listicle episode before the big Akira Toriyama special at the end o' the month - this week yer auld das are giein ye their tap 5 movie tie-in video games.

Come wi us on a journey through a more simple time, when every Rambo or Terminator had a 16-bit accomplice, as we grapple with big issues of the day like "are birds actually reptiles?" Featuring: toddlers and rabbits.

*Apologies for any rogue sound problems with this one, we've been a wee bit pressed to get this one oot and have a busy couple of weeks ahead (and were battling a gremlin outbreak at Neddy HQ)

Andy goes third-worldist in Metal Gear Solid: Ghost Babel (the gameboy one), Mick explains the title of Ecks vs Sever and McCormick shows us his jump in Morrowind.

We're back wi some classic mince n' totties Neddy action this week.

Mick gets nostalgic for anime guys wi spiky hair in "The Legend of Dragoon", PDM McCormick finds some convincing parallels to the Anglo-Irish War in "Ogre Battle 64: Person of Lordly Caliber" and Andy Mac visits a robotic Kazakhstan Soviet Socialist Republic in wee pile classic "Strider".
