February 01, 2021 07 - StarTropics (NES)
WHO IS MIKE JONES? A question as old as time itself.
After a brief (long) hiatus, Jerry and Mike have made it back with what some consider to be a certified banger: StarTropics on the NES. Yeah, we know we have been gone for a minute, but we promise this one is worth your time. I mean.. let's be honest.. what were you going to do instead? Let's not act like it's our fault that you waste your time. And, if you DO listen, then you CAN blame us. It all wraps up into a neat little package.

December 04, 2020 06 - Ghosts 'n Goblins (NES)
Jerry and Mike are back to discuss spooky games in December.. bet you didn't see that coming. This time it's Ghosts 'n Goblins for the NES. It's a game that we would not deem a banger, unless you count banging your head against the wall. Give us a listen and let us know what you think. You can tell us we suck.. people do it all of the time.

September 29, 2020 04 - Plumbers Don't Wear Ties
We're back.. and if I was you I'd stop reading right now. You've already seen the title. You know what this episode is about. We just hope that our take on this "game" is more entertaining than watching the "game" itself, because if it's not then we may as well just give up on this whole podcasting thing.

September 14, 2020 03 - Super Metroid (SNES)
Jerry and Mike return in this latest installment of the Lost Joystick Network podcast. This time we discuss YET ANOTHER CERTIFIED BANGER: Super Metroid for Super Nintendo. Look, we aren't breaking any new ground here. We are just two guys who like classic video games, good or bad, and we like to talk about them. But if you want to get into the weeds about Super Metroid and where it lands on the list of best-selling SNES games, then you're in luck. If you don't think it's interesting, then maybe our show isn't for you. Or maybe you're just a glutton for punishment and like listening to podcasts about things you don't like. If that's the case, then this IS the show for you.

September 03, 2020 02 - Gradius (NES)
Mike and Jerry are back with another certified banger: Gradius for the NES. OK, maybe it's not a banger.. and maybe it's not great.. and maybe Jerry tried to wrestle the cartridge out of my hands and destroy it.. but we had fun. Sit back and enjoy listening to us prattle on about the development, reception, and legacy of Gradius, as well as listen to us discuss the game's collectability (is that a word?) and where the current speedrun records stand.

August 17, 2020 01 - The Legend of Zelda (NES)
Well, this is it.. our first episode. Tune in and listen to two guys you don't know discuss the games of their youth.
In this episode, Jerry and Mike discuss Nintendo's classic "The Legend of Zelda" for the NES. We discuss everything from development to legacy, and everything in between. Ultimately we try to answer two questions: What is good then and is it good now? I mean.. that's one question.. OK it's two question in one sentence.. Whatever. I think you get the point. Thanks for listening!

March 14, 2019 Episode 01 - Super Mario Bros. 2
Well.. this is it.. The first episode of Lost Joystick Network. Join your hosts Johnny and Mike, as they ramble on incessantly about old video games. In their debut episode, tune in to hear them discuss their thoughts on one of the most anticipated games of all-time: Super Mario Bros. 2. We also try to get to the bottom of the story of SMB2, and the rabbit hole just keeps getting deeper and deeper.
If you want to get a hold of us, we would love to hear from you.. even if you want to tell us that we suck (which we already know). You can find us here:
