He spins, he jumps, he might occasionally slip right off a ledge even though you definitely didn't mean for him to... It's Crash Bandicoot! Eric from the Side Questing podcast joins us as our special guest this episode to discuss Crash, the would-be wombat who is (probably) singularly responsible for making everyone outside of Australia aware that bandicoots exist. Take that, Nat Geo.

A monkey-tailed boy going toe-to-toe with a trained British female operative... Definitely a sensible match-up. Listen, we just follow the tournament rules, you get to enjoy the ridiculous results. And hey, if you haven't listened to Match 3 yet, what are you even doing!? Go over to the Region Free Gamers podcast and get caught up!

Quit beatin' yer gums and stow that sugar report, Lieutenant! Your best gal is gonna have to wait, because ol' Uncle Adolph is up to no good and it's our duty to stop him. Your usual RHP compliment will be augmented on this mission by none other than Major Josh Covel of the Still Loading division, so taxi on up and get that devil's piano in good working order, 'cause you're going to need it!

Everyone OK? Has the salt washed off from the first match-up? Great, because we're back with the next battle of Round 1 of King of Games 2000: Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2 faces off against WWF No Mercy. Will it be kickflips or piledrivers? Listen to find out, brother! Wait, wait... You haven't listened to Match 1? Well then get on over to our friends the Region Free Gamers podcast and subscribe to make sure you get every saucy minute of the King of Games 2000 tournament!

The Blue Rogues take flight in this episode of RHP, accompanied by special guest Kelly from our friends the Region Free Gamers! As if that wasn't cool enough, this release marks the obnoxiously triumphant return of Chris' signature bellowing intro. You asked for it, and we delivered so get your volume knobs ready, folks, because it's back, baby!

We are super psyched to put this one out there for you beautiful people. We had the opportunity to sit down with Andy from Mega Cat Studios and chat about the most excellent work they do developing and releasing original titles for retro systems like the NES and Genesis, along with the myriad other projects they have in their repertoire. We had a lot of fun with this one, and we think you will too!

What do you do with a popular film franchise license and a warehouse of unused arcade boards? Make a loosely-related beat-'em-up, of course! Keith of The Main Quest podcast joins us to talk about everyone's favorite Christmas game: Die Hard Arcade!

If you know anything about Earthbound, you are probably not terribly surprised that this episode is a bit longer than usual; there's just so much to discuss! Arnie of the Region Free Gamers podcast joins the show to pontificate with us about one of the most fondly-remembered JRPGs of the 16-bit era. If you need to take a break during the show, why not take a moment and call your mom? Don't want to get homesick, after all.

Get it, 'cause she's got tank controls? Whatever, our moms think we're funny. Anyway, this year marks the 25th anniversary of Ms. Croft's inaugural spelunking spectacular, so we thought: what better time to delve back into this early 3D adventure and see how its held up?

We wrap up Spooptober with a doozy. Not only are we talking about a notoriously tough as nails platformer, Ghouls 'n Ghosts, but we are also joined by singer / songwriter / self-professed Genesis fangirl Saniyé! When the kingdom doth get yeeted, shall Arthur saveth it from certain doom? (Hint: highly unlikely since most of us can't beat this game).
