- The Adventures of Batman and Robin (Genesis) and the Clockwork Tortoise
One of the most impressive games on the Sega Genesis/Mega Drive could have been one of the best of all time with the power of a good project manager or producer.
Alas, we'll settle for "really impressive and flawed in easily-fixable ways."

48 min - D2 (Dreamcast) and the Hundred Line Second Playthrough
There's so much to unpack here we had to come back and add another 20 minutes after we thought we were done.

1 hr - Mega Man X8 (PS2) and the Mavericks at Will
The best game in the X series since X4 is also by far one of the absolute dumbest imaginable!
AND THAT MAKES IT SO MUCH BETTER

1 hr - Drake of the 99 Dragons (Xbox) and the Blue Prince Spoilercast
I haven't played a game with this much edge since my last playthrough of Catherine.
Also, I am absolutely going to spoil the ending of Blue Prince, so be warned if that's something you would like to avoid.

54 min - No One Can Stop Mr. Domino (PS1) and the Collection Culling
I'm getting rid of a chunk of my retro games collection, and with the money I make from it, maybe I'll buy more games like this.

1 hr 5 min - Mega Man Zero 3 (GBA) and the Ripple Island Sequel
Zero and Ciel and Doctor Weil live in a society. Which is not the same as our society, the one where somebody decided we needed an Overcooked clone based on Ripple Island.

41 min - Landstalker (Genesis) and the Slow Walk Taunt
Invisible platforms! Vapid princesses! Sassy fairy companions! Casinos in the town well! Unhinged puzzle solutions! Childish taunts from your antagonist!
Fun?

1 hr - Brawl Brothers (SNES) and the Termination Time
After five years, we finally decide to play another Rushing Beat game, and since we started with the third one, why not continue in reverse chronological order, right?
Classic case here of a game with all the right ideas and just all the wrong thoughts on implementation.

43 min - Snake Rattle & Roll (NES) and the Ice Slope Foot Licking
Rare has this thing where we keep going into their games expecting to be underwhelmed or even trash it, but then we end up glazing them because the game is a marvel of engineering even if it is obscenely difficult and player-hostile for no good reason.
Despite my best efforts, this is another one of those times.

nostalgia.
