We've both been a bit under the weather this week so our episode today was recorded a little while ago. Long before the epiphany Chris experienced with Starcraft, in the midst of his denial of all things strategy, Ashley took up the impossible task of convincing him to play the latest entry in one of the finest turn-based strategy game series in existence, Civilization VI. Join Chris in finding out exactly what it is and why it is most definitely worth your time.

If Ashley had a quid for every time Chris has slandered the real time strategy genre then he'd probably have a minor fortune. However, turns out it was all completely baseless because Chris has hardly even touched an RTS, let alone played one for any length of time. So what better place to start than with StarCraft? Does the game have what it takes to turn Chris around on an entire genre he has reviled for his entire life? Listen in to find out!

Are you the sort of person who watches bumper bundles of old adverts on YouTube for a sweet little hit of nostalgia? Then boy do we have the game for you! Zool is the first game Chris and Ashley have played that has included overt product placement! The game is a home grown 90s platformer that shares more than a little DNA with the blue blur, but does it live up to the standards of the hasty hedgehog himself? Listen in to find out!

Turns out not everyone in the whole world has played a Mega Man game like Ashley thought, because Chris had never touched one before. In a way, he still hasn't because Mega Man Battle Network isn't your Nana's Mega Man. A fusion of several different genres, the title takes in elements of action, turn-based, and tactics RPGs, as well as a bit of puzzling and a dose of Pokemon-style collectomania! Sounds interesting, doesn't it! Listen in to find out more!

Fantasy Zone, released on the Game Gear in 1991, is a bright, bold and breezy shoot-em-up starring Opa Opa, a sentient space ship.

Does the Game Gear version bring something new to the table? Is the game worth a go? What is a cute-em-up? Give us a listen and find out!
