It's time for a bubble-busting puzzle gaming action as the U64 gang (along with Puzzle Game Consultant Nicole Vettese and Steve's dear friend/sworn enemy Kim Turpin) tackle Taito's adorably addictive BUST-A-MOVE series. Join us for an in-depth exploration of dragon genders, terrible cover art, and late-80s hip-hop as we bank shots and break hearts.

Next week's episode: Dark Rift/Deadly Arts/Dual Heroes 

It's a big week at Ultra 64! Not only did we get a new theme song, courtesy of the amazing band The Octopus Project, but we found a way to outsource a lot of our work for this episode onto YOU, our brilliant audience! This week, we played STARSHOT: SPACE CIRCUS FEVER, and we had no idea what this game was about, so we reached out to our listeners to submit their own ideas, and you guys delivered in a big way! Tune in to hear all the amazing responses, and then brace yourself for the weirdness of what this French import is ACTUALLY about.

Next week's episode: Mega Man 64

Do you feel that rumbling? It must be the seismic impact of id Software's seismic hit, QUAKE, and it's sequel, QUAKE II! Our old buddy Phil Ortego joins us this week to talk about id's other great shooter franchise, and see if these genre classics translate well to the N64. Also, some forbidden words, dueling Carmacks, and plenty of love for Nine Inch Nails.
