O' Canada! Our... well, not the home nor native land of Ash and Cliff, but it's certainly a cool place to be! UCP takes a trip north of the border for the debut episode of The Electric Playground from 1997. Your hosts look at footage from E3, press junkets from Namco, and have their first 'on podcast' experiences with the cult of personality that is Tommy Tallarico, and his opinions on game difficulty and StarFox 64.

Cliff and Ash drop in on our good mate Shingzy and see what else he was doing, other than making his plumber 3D.

We have a look at Silicon Graphics bringing in their good mate in, Paradigm Simulation, to help them show off what the Ultra 64 could be and how that developed in to a sequel to the game that had previously shown off what the SNES could do.

A five week month brings us another Focus Extra as Ash sits down for a chat with a man who is a podcaster, a writer, an editor, a gamer, in fact someone who's probably more qualified to host the podcast than he is: Paul Monaghan, Co-Founder of The Maximum Power Up Podcast and most importantly for todays episode: Editor of Pixel Addict Magazine

Ash returns to Bits, after not being blown away by it in UCP's original run, however, he is not alone, as Cliff faces an old foe in Titus Interactive and looks forward to talking about Shadowman... which will definitely happen... probably.

We need your help listener! Ashdros has declared war. He's invaded the Clifflat System, and trying to take UCP. Our army alone can not do the job. Hurry UCN!

Ash & Cliff blast off through Tori gates and into a deep dive on how Argonaut went from bedroom developer, to pioneering 3D gaming and followed by possible breaches of Nintendo licensing, where Nintendo did the most un-Nintendo thing they've ever done... they offered them a contract?!

GOOD LUCK!

Cliff and Ash go back to Games World, but not as we've seen it before. We look at Tuesday 22nd June 1993 to visit the creepy House of Gaming, where they review games, talk a lot about the sportsball, the bus timetable, pinball crossovers and movies that will change the world for ever... probably... Get ready to find out what GM members of staff get up to in the off season!

Five week month bonus episode! It's time to look at the official prequel to Street Fighter IV, which doesn't contain much in the way of streets, fighting, or indeed any useful correlation to the plot. Ken is a Salaryman, Ryu is the bestest boy, and Seth is taking time off from Emmerdale. Cliff watched the English dub, Ash watched the Japanese sub, and it didn't make a bit of difference to their experience. Judge for yourself and listen to their suffering.

Ash & Cliff have a deep dive into one of the most important fighters of the 7th generation. We look back at Street Fighter II, then to how everyone else stepped to the challenge, Capcom's dividing Street Fighter III, the internet game changer and finally Street Fighter IV and if it's punches land.
