  • Taste Test 4 - Zombie Nation

    Hey there fellow game diners, we take a lesson in other cultures by playing this super fucked up game.

    Zombie nation

    You play a floating severed head on a whirlwind tour of the Americas and stopping a zombie attack, perhaps. We have no idea what this game is. but damn glad we played it so we could witness the ending, and talk about it at least.

  • Issue 37 June 1992 - Lemmings (Part 2)
    Issue 36 keeps us laughing as we see the preview for Street Fighter 2 and it's disappointing arcade cabinet, and many more. 


    John is not impressed with card based dungeon crawlers lol.  Mike figures out what could have put Krusty's fun house into excellent territory blending wit the cartoon.


    But the star of the show is David Faustino and his rap career. yeah. I told ya.


    Stick around for the whole version.


    Happy Halloween!
