Retro Blissed

For episode 66 the guys decided to do things a little different: they sat down to play a whole pile of Atari 2600 sports games and review them one at a time. This episode features on of the biggest goofs in Retro Blissed history. Listen to see what we mean. Or skip this one. That may be better.

Donkey Kong Country for the Super Nintendo was a big deal when it came out, featuring the best graphics ever seen and a soundtrack unlike any before. It also put Rare on the map for most gamer. But does it hold up better than Johnny and Trevor's belts after a Chinese buffet? Can special guest and podcast megastar Christopher Chavez keep them straight? Tune in to find out in this massive edition of Retro Blissed!

Lucky you! Trevor and Johnny have a special bonus "mini" episode here for their loyal listeners! On this Retro Mini, they review the brand new Sonic Mania for PlayStation 4, XboxOne, and Nintendo Switch. Is it as good as Sonic 2? Is it as cool as Bubsy 2? Find out on Retro Blissed!

Animaniacs for the Sega Genesis/Megadrive is a Konami developed platformer with a twist: all three characters are needed to work your way through the puzzle filled levels. Will these Warner Bros and their Warner sister save Trevor and Johnny from their recent Bubsy marathon? Will they do the same thing they do every night and try to take over the world? Will they eat too much Chinese food? Tune in to find out.

They asked for your help on GoFundMe to buy a copy of Bubsy 3D. You shocked them with your scary quick response. Even more scary: Bubsy 3D showed up at their door the very same week. Well, Johnny and Trevor are men who accept their destiny: to review Bubsy 3D for the Sony PlayStation! Check out the network at http://bicbp-radio.com/retro-blissed What could possibly go wrong?

Bubsy gets a bad rap around the gaming community, but does he deserve it? This week, the guys play Bubsy 2 on Sega Genesis to find out. To hear their take on the first Bubsy, check out Genesis Gems podcast episode 59, where Trevor and Johnny are guest! Or go do something with your life. Whichever.

Spider-Man Maximum Carnage for the Sega Genesis (also on the SNES) is a beat-em up that really stood out for its red cartridge. But, does the game play still stand out or will it leave the guys swinging from a web a few inches from the ground, not quite able to fly or walk, begging for food and love? Tune in to find out!

Genesis Gems and Retro Obscura cohost Aaron Hickman joins Johnny and Trevor to discuss Blast Corps for the N64. This was the first Rare game for the system, before Goldeneye or Banjo Kazooie. Find out if they thought it was a blast...or if it left them shaken to the... corps (sorry).

Game & Watch Gallery is a Nintendo Gameboy game which brings together four of the Game & Watch games - a very cool piece of Nintendo history before the NES existed! Trevor and Johnny talk about these original LCD handheld games, then dive into this Gameboy game with a full review, bliss quiz, and lots of dumb jokes. Really, really dumb jokes.

This week Trevor and Johnny cover the very first game in the Need for Speed series, officially titled Road & Track Presents: The Need for Speed. They play the Sega Saturn version, putting both single and multiplayer modes to the test. They recorded while in a bit of a food coma, so you might say they themselves had a need... A need for speed!
