À propos de ce contenu audio

This week on the Cocktail Mode podcast, Andy and Dave are taking to the skies to earn their flight licenses in the 1990 SNES classic: Pilotwings!

We’re diving into the game that served as the ultimate showcase for Nintendo’s Mode 7 technology, transforming flat 2D maps into a pseudo-3D playground that blew minds at the SNES launch. We discuss the Zen-like calm of the hang glider, the high-altitude tension of the skydiving targets, and why the rocket belt (jetpack) remains one of the most satisfying mechanics in 16-bit history. We also pay tribute to the iconic instructors like Big Al and Shirley and the smooth, jazz-fusion soundtrack that makes every crash-landing feel a little more sophisticated.

Obviously there’ll also be two "high-altitude" cocktails to help you clear the landing strip!
