Dusting off our Memory Cards and DualShock controllers, the crew goes all in on the Sony PlayStation. Covering games such as Blood Omen: Legacy of Kain, Omega Boost, Hot Shots Golf 2, and more, we also explore the different ways in which you can play PSX games in 2022, & detail some of the different hardware mods available to enhance your PlayStation experience, all with a side of tuna sandwich recipes.

It’s time to dodge some lasers as we blast into the world of shoot-’em-ups! Alex gets to geek out by going over the history of the genre, the different varieties of shmups, the early days of bullet-hell games, and fires off some beginner tips. We also cover shooters such as Batsugun, R-Type Delta, Gate of Thunder & more, and Jeff refuses to participate in any video game tutorials.

RGS 076 – Pew-Pew Palooza

Pushing the pedal to the metal, we bring you another high-octane episode full of racing game excitement. Showcasing games like Power Drive, Colin McRae Rally 2.0, World Driver Championship and more, there's no shortage of thrills on this race track. We also settle upon a surprising "Retro Game of the Year", and Alex expresses his frustration with Schrödinger's cat. (Special thanks to Joe/Electrichead for the blood-pumping epilogue)

RGS 075 - Racing games (part 3)

With Halloween fast approaching, we get in a frightful mood with games such as A Nightmare on Elm Street, Demon’s Crest, Splatterhouse 2, and more. Also, Jeff shares his passion for horror & slasher movies and tells the horrid tale of a cursed Super NES cartridge that consumes all who dare to play it… (Special thanks to Joe/Electrichead for the eerily appropriate epilogue)

RGS 074 – A Nightmare on RGS Street

On the heels of our last episode, we go back to a simpler time, and take a look at some of the 2D platformers of yesteryear. Covered are games such as Batman: The Video Game, Vectorman 2, Wario Land 3, & more. We also read listener submissions about memories of Super Mario Bros. 3, and Jeff takes a stand in calling Football "Soccer".

RGS 073 - 2D Platformers

Taking our gaming into the third dimension, we jump into the world of 3D platformers. Discussed are a variety of games such as Jumping Flash!, Spyro the Dragon, Croc: Legend of the Gobbos, and more. Also, Jeff and Jon try their best in a listener-submitted trivia game, and the atrocious camera in Earthworm Jim 3D causes us to lose our marbles.
