** CAUTION: THIS EPISODE IS DELIBERATELY LEFT UNCENSORED **

The day has arrived and Cliff can't escape! It's time to sit down with Ash and watch The Battle for Endor, the second Ewok movie from 1985! Before the main event he gets a lesson in the history of the furry little beggars, and how they got from Jedi to this. Then it's on to the main event, and a feature length commentary you can listen along with at home.

Watch along on Disney+ here

Ash and Cliff look at the magazine this months core episode was stuck to the front of with the debut issue of the son of Super Play: N64 Magazine! 90s console tribalism is at an all time high and the issue captures the highs and the lows of this period of N64 gaming.

Plus: Cliff plays Mastermind, whether he wants to or not.

N64Life is t-t-t-t-t-taking over! Before Cliff meets his little furry makers in May, N64Life is taking over with a cluster of episodes based around 64-bit console entry. To kick off the month we're looking at the promotional VHS tape that came with the first issue of Super Plays' spiritual successor N64 Magazine.

Cliff is overjoyed at this turn of events, Ash is regretting it before the record button has even been pressed, and Ocean forgot to send any actual footage of their game. It's going to be great.

Last month we dove deep on the hardware of the SG-1000, and this month a lot of the games sound like they'd go deep on us.... who thought Dragon Wang was a good idea? It's the SG-1000 Games Library! Ash and Cliff look at 5 select titles covering multiple years of the of the consoles run, and encounter some notable firsts and influential titles along the way.

Also: Wang.

It's time for the climax of GameCenter CX's 10th Anniversary season with part two of Arino taking on Nosferatu!

Ash and Cliff rejoin Arino after a few weeks as he shakes off some game-rust and proceeds to make all the same mistakes he did last time. Even if he makes it to the end, will the game have a satisfying pay off?

There's also claw machines, punching games, and one final look at Sega's SG-1000. PLUS! Cliff gets to hear more of his favourite song.

For this months focus we go back to the beginnings of Sega in the home market: The SG-1000! And the SC-3000! And it's a lot like the Colecovision!

Ash and Cliff dive into a story full of misdirection, misreporting, and occasionally legitimate Japanese businessmen.

Also: Sound Effects.

It's the finale of GameCenter CX's 10th Anniversary season, and they're ending on a two parter!

Ash and Cliff join Arino as he tackles Nosferatu for the Super Famicom, a game he knows nothing about but which seems strangely familiar.

There's also fresh seafood, pensioners with zero sense of personal space, and Cliff gets a new favourite song.

An old friend returns to UCP with Starcade from 1984, although this time there's a new host who actually gives a toss about the games being played!

Promotional consideration has not been paid for by any of the companies in this episode of Starcade, but that doesn't matter because Ash & Cliff will talk about them anyway! Also, there are games! Xevious! Millipede! Wacko! More Wacko! Also... Wacko!
