In this bonus episode, we're dissecting the history of Donkey Kong outside of the arcade. When the world thirsted for more DK after leaving the friendly confines of their neighborhood arcades, these console and computer recreations of the smash hit game aimed to sufficiently feed those desires. Some succeeded, while others did not. We're also facing off against one another by comparing our pathetically low scores in order to determine the ultimate Super Podcast Bros. DK champ!

We get a little weird in our first full episode back from our holiday hiatus. The history of sex in mainstream gaming is an interesting one to say the least, and we discuss it all; from the earliest text-based games to the glorious, high resolution nudity we enjoy today. In our top ten countdown, we're debating the games best suited for the perverted ones among us. Some are fairly innocent. Others... Not so much. Enjoy this latest, definitely NSFW, edition of Super Podcast Brothers!

We've got the need... The need for speed on this fresh new episode of the show. After unfairly snubbing them in our twentieth episode, we're giving the arcade's greatest racing games their due in our top ten countdown. Nintendo dropped some good news on us this week, so we're taking a hiatus from usual Amiibo-fueled rage to in order show them some much needed love. Andy also discusses what legacy Microsoft's Xbox 360 console leaves behind it as it approaches the tenth anniversary of its release. Oh, and we're both annoyed about soda.

It has been exactly one year since we launched what was known as The Tim and Andy Show! We're still rolling right along under our current banner for yet another year of retro gaming discussion and debate. Friend of the show and pinball collector Nick Baldridge stops by and offers up some helpful advice on how to step into the world of pinball ownership. In our top ten, Andy is way out his element but valiantly attempts to help break down the best Japanese RPGs of all time. Thank you to all who have listened to and supported the show in our first year! Stay classic!

We traveled to the great state of Illinois for a visit to the famous Underground Retrocade and the 31st annual Pinball Expo! We played tons of great games, drank plenty of beer, and got plenty of strange looks from the West Dundee nightlife regulars. We've got plenty to say about the upcoming Game of Thrones and Big Lebowski pinball tables, and much more. Special thanks to Scott Lambert, founder of the Underground Retrocade, for his hospitality!

Surprise! We’re back early and counting down the best games for the Atari 2600. 26 of them in fact. On episode 26! Get it? Not ones to let a good gimmick pass us by, we hastily put together this (relatively) short bonus episode while preparing to head Chicago for the Pinball Expo. This countdown actually began in episode 7, “Straight to the Metal”, with our top ten preferred selections. Now, we’re adding an additional sixteen in order to compile the most comprehensive and numerologically gratifying list of the VCS’ best titles. See you in the Windy City and stay classic!

The school year is in full swing and we're looking back on our highly disappointing scholastic careers and identifying the games that, at the very least, tried to teach us something important. But beware, as hidden beneath a veil of multiplication tables and spelling exercises lies the shocking truth of Canada's dark history of trucker stabbings and human trafficking. Also, our transformation into irascible curmudgeons continues as we find plenty of things to complain about as it pertains to the current state of gaming.

The once young and youthful Sony PlayStation turns twenty and we're looking back and handpicking the system's ten best offerings! The long hyped Retro VGS aims to bring old school gaming back in a whole new way, but we're begrudgingly skeptical that the system will ever find its way to our beloved CRT televisions. Also, legendary developer Konami has seemingly given up on developing console titles. What does this mean for the industry at large? We're speculating about that and so much more on this brand new episode of Super Podcast Bros!

Three decades ago, Super Mario Bros. was released and altered the course of gaming history forever. To celebrate, we count down the ten greatest Super Mario games released to date. We've also got plenty to say about the Jimmy Kimmel/Let's Play controversy, and are getting very excited about Stern's newest pinball table. This episode also sees the debut of a brand new segment and the announcement of a brand new podcast!
