This Game Where

Chris and Ashley take a trip to Monument Valley, this game where you control a princess through a series of visually pleasing landscapes in a puzzler inspired by Escher and optical illusions. The game released this week on PC after a mobile release back in 2014 but how does it hold up?

Chris and Ashley play a classic found in pretty much every 90s arcade this week with Puzzle Bobble, or Bust-A-Move, depending where you're playing it. The game see you firing coloured bubbles at other bubbles to make them pop. It sounds simple - and it is - but it entranced children and adults alike when it came out. Come and find out if it can do the same now!

Ashley and Chris journey to Kitchen Island in Wario Land: Super Mario Land 3, this game where you control the bulky bandit in his quest to uncover as many riches as possible to fund building a colossal castle. Chris has fond memories of playing this as a nipper, so how does the game stand up?

Chris and Ashley are walking the thoroughfares and back alleys of Wood Oak City, this week, in Streets of Rage. It's a game they both have good memories of playing, but does that mean it will hold up thirty years later? Listen in to find out!

The tables are turned this week as Ashley chooses a game that he's never played before that just so happens to be one of Chris' favourites! Little Big Adventure is a 1994 French action-adventure-RPF hybrid set on a dystopian planet - but was it worth the decade-long wait for Ashley to play it?

The Simpsons was laying the stage for the rest of 90s pop culture before the decade even began, and in 1991 they took their first tentative steps into the gaming arena with not one, but two different titles. Yes, everyone and their best mate will remember the arcade heavy hitter, but this week Chris and Ashley are playing a slightly lower key entry in the form of The Simpsons: Bart vs. the Space Mutants. Released across multiple consoles, the game sees Bart attempt to repel a full-on space invasion mostly with a can of spray paint. How does he do? Listen in to find out!

In Bad Mojo, you get turned into a cockroach and have to explore a seedy bar populated by other creepy-crawlies in a game inspired by Kafka and David Lynch, featuring FMV sequences using Jim Carrey levels of ker-azy hammy acting. Interest piqued yet?

Chris absolutely pulls it out of the bag with this week's Mega Drive pick, which comes in the sleek and streamlined shape of Ecco: The Tides of Time. It's a game Ashley has never played, but coveted heavily as a kid seeing the superb ads in between episodes of Kenan and Kel and Clarissa (probably). But does it stand up to the relentless march of time? Press play to find out!
