- Mega Man 5 (NES) and the Dondoko Island Tycoon
Breaking news: New Like a Dragon game has very good and expansive minigame that is more than it initially appears. Shocking, I know. Almost like this happens every time.
Mega Man 5 is really, really good, by the way. Outstanding level and boss designs on display here.

1 hr 11 min - Mega Man II (Game Boy) and the #JustWilyThings
In which Dr. Wily invents time travel in order to beat Mega Man and then uses it in the most nonsensical way imaginable and then does not, in fact, beat Mega Man.
Also, The Fated Hour quests, Persona 3 thoughts, cursed images, and which game has the best jump?

1 hr 12 min - Perfect Dark (N64) and the Palworld Explanation
This week, we discuss the new Like a Dragon, driving lessons from Initial D, the games we would least like to see in a friend's Steam profile, and Tom discovers that he does not like Palworld.
Then we talk about how Perfect Dark completely eclipses Goldeneye 007 by doing everything it does but more and significantly better.

1 hr 35 min - Alice's Mom's Rescue (Dreamcast) and the Jank Xbox 360 Repair feat. T of TKandM!
T of TKandM and the Metal Gear University podcast joins the podcast today for our first ever Dreamcast game on the podcast. Is it Sonic Adventure? Chu Chu Rocket? Skies of Arcadia?
No! It's a homebrew indie game from 2015 because of course it is.
Also - why jank Xbox 360 repairs actually worked, and what's going on with Johnathan Majors?

1 hr 19 min - Pokemon Trading Card Game (GBC) and the Lawyer Bait
In about 70 minutes' time, we manage to potentially draw the ire of Nintendo, Disney, and Netflix lawyers. I think we have a fighting chance.

1 hr 31 min - Mega Man: Dr. Wily's Revenge (Game Boy) and the Age of Empires Cheats

1 hr 16 min - Shinrei Jusatsushi Taroumaru (Saturn) and the Lame Airport Comparisons
On a whim, we check out the absurdly-rare Shinrei Jusatsushi Taroumaru, a Time Warner Interactive game by some former Treasure staffers, so basically THIS IS SECRETLY A TREASURE GAME AND IT RULES.
Also, judge me for my bad airport takes, or judge me for HAVING takes on airports. We also have a quick Game Awards recap.

1 hr 7 min - Home Alone (NES) and the Indie Games(?)
A holiday tradition continues as Tom and TW play a Home Alone game in December for the fourth year in a row! And somehow they appear to have found the worst and most irredeemable one!
Along the way we jump into the debate on what an indie game is, the Sega Master System collection in Like a Dragon Gaiden, and first game ads we remember drawing our teenage attention (or that of our friends) with the shameless exploitation of an attractive female form.

About The Retro Breakdown
From the publisher's feed
Every week, Dean (twitch.tv/timewanderer) and Tom discuss current gaming news, and then check out some old (or sometimes new) piece of gaming history to see how it holds up, and test the strength of…
nostalgia.
