The first game in the "year of the Sequel" is Sega's sophmore entry of the blue blur! I finally unlock Super Sonic and find it to be a hindrance after hours of playing the special stages of the Emerald Hill Zone!

Stewart Cheifet of the public television tech series The Computer Chronicles passed away and I reflect on the show and how it has influenced the podcast and modern media.

I despise the term "boomer shooters" after playing another one on the PS1 Long Box livestream. Some holy grail retro consoles are up for grabs on Auction Alert!

2025 brought many things including Switch 2 and the long awaited sequels of Silksong and Metroid Prime 4. 2025 was the year of the retro Dreamcast AND the not so retro PS4. Also had some wonderful guests on the podcast and found the Wipeout series, which has become GAME OF THE YEAR!

2026 looks to be a year of sequels and more long box game collecting!

Finally doing a deep dive on the Zelda clone for the Sega Genesis that has the look but not the feel of Link to the Past. While there is time travel and cutting grass, the game stresses themes of humanity and ecology. Join me and Corona on a hack and slash that is at times frustrating and sometimes downright bad. At least it has a good soundtrack...

Finding a copy of Soleil or Ragnacenty on eBay will set you back a couple paychecks on Auction Alert.

I sat down with the Switch HD remake of the 2011 capstone in the Zelda franchise before the open world entries. Gone were the motion controls, but the controls still require precision. It's a bright beautiful world of Skyloft, with a watercolor aesthetic I don't much care for.

It's been 40 episodes since i first discovered what Parasite Eve was and am finally getting around to playing it. Unfortunately, it has me scratching my head, a term I use repeatedly, much like "mitochondria" and other unspeakable terms concerning male reproductive organs in this 1998 action RPG.

A 150th episode podcast retrospective where I get to say sesquicentennial! Six jobs and countless games later, I'm still here talking retro video games!

Featuring a PS1 long box racing game with an alternative soundtrack for the alternative generation of the 90s. A game that has it's roots in Mario Kart and the electronic music of Great Britain.

But after reading the manual, i end up spending twice the costr of the game to buy a controller that has a few hiccups.

Auction alert features the sequel as well as some long box games that caught my eye.

Introduction of the new "Going Long" Segment talking about game collecting

It's strike three for the Dreamcast as I delve into ANOTHER action RPG that falls short and for once, I actually wished they had made the game a full on RPG!

If you are searching for a Dreamcast though, there are numerous possibilities on the ShopGoodwills including the case and mahual for a REAL RPG!

My first foray into 3D Mario video games began with Super Mario 64 but finding it unplayable, I delved into Super Mario Sunshine. This comes coincidentally during the 40th anniversary of the Mario franchise.

Samus is riding a motorcycle in Metroid Prime 4...

I'm locked out of my car causing me to purchase a video game out of guilt and thanks to Catridges Galore!
