Old Game Boys

An RPG that Korwin loves but Steve doesn't. An RPG that Steve adores but Korwin won't! As much as these two may butt heads over these games, the Old Game Boys take a deep dive on what it is about these games specifically that's caused such a contentious disconnect!

Hold onto your Orcs, it's time for the Old Game Boys' first foray into Real-Time Strategy! With four factions, plenty of potential for raging multiplayer chaos, and ridiculous names like "Malfurion Stormrage," this episode is a recipe for a good time. And best of all, we surely won't be updating it with an unnecessary remaster 18 years from now! (Too soon, Blizzard?)

“The Experience Begins…”

You said it, Shenmue. This month, Steve and Korwin take a trip back in time to (mostly) 1986 Japan and pound the pavement with Ryo Hazuki in an ongoing quest to find answers after the death of his father at the hands of the mysterious Lan Di. There's plenty of questions that need to be answered. Like, who is Lan Di? How much realism is too much realism in video games? And does anyone know where sailors like to hang out? Find out in this next level as Steve and Korwin take on Shenmue!

An unforgettable adventure spanning three discs, and an entertaining discussion at just under three hours. As we draw towards the end of the Old Game Boys' first year of play, Steve and Korwin take their first steps out of Midgar and ask themselves: Is Final Fantasy VII the reverse of The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind? Plus, actual quotes from Tetsuya Nomura, the beloved namesake of the "Oops! All Belts Award!" Sit back, relax, and let's mosey together.

Plenty of us have seen popular remakes of older video games. Look at Resident Evil 4, Silent Hill 2, or the Final Fantasy VII Remake project. But what makes a remake, and what are some of the games Steve and Korwin would love to see get brought back to life? Find out in this week's bonus episode!

And now, a game that hardly warrants any introduction, but we'll give it a shot anyway! Take a trip through the Temple of Time with us as we journey back to the past and play through The Legend of Zelda. Not just ANY Legend of Zelda, but THE Legend of Zelda! How does the essential NES classic stack up against some of the more contemporary entries of this long-beloved action-adventure series? Give it a listen if you want to hear our takes (or at the very least, if you want to hear Steve and Korwin do a rap song).
