  • Episode 50: Chrono Trigger
    Jun 7 2023

    A most appropriate game selection for our 50th!  It's hard to get through a whole RPG for a show, but thankfully this one was pretty familiar to all of us and it really was a pleasure to re-visit (come on, did you think I was gonna say something bad about it?).  From your hometown, to frozen landscapes of the future, to prehistoric jungles, Chrono Trigger takes you to to the edge of imagination and stitches together the fabric of time with a most obvious care.  Most appropriate indeed.  See you again?

  • Episode 49: Batman
    May 31 2023

    We're back again.  This time we're in masks, capes, and overly tight tights while we take on Batman for the NES.  In preparation, I misread the room and believed that Joe and Dylan weren't partial to this game, and I was relieved because I wasn't either.  Turns out I was totally wrong and they thoroughly enjoyed it.  Tune in as we dig in to everything from level design, difficulty, to music.  Even though I am the odd person who doesn't like this game, it still has a lot to offer as an NES game.  Check it out!

  • Episode 48: Retro Racing!
    May 24 2023

    Ladies and gentlemen, start your engines!  This week, Dylan joins us to highlight our most noteable racing games from our early childhood to the end of our adolescence.  We're talkin' NES right through to Dreamcast.  Not all racing games are easy to spend an hour talking about, so we decided to pool our ideas together and share memories of the racing games we played, or read about as we grew up.  Will you remember these titles?  Only one way to find out!  Listen now!

  • Episode 47: Final Fantasy 1 (part 2)
    May 17 2023

    Picking up right where we left off, our discussion/debate on FF1 and all of its features, quirks, and characteristics continues.  It's one of those games, I think anyone who has a memory of it, has some things really embedded into their brain from it.  It's such a memorable title.  I know I am biased but thankfully I get to write this, so I guess that's that.  Hopefully some of you have fond memories of this title, and even if you don't, you can always side with Joe and hate it.  Don't miss the thrilling conclusion of RGR's coverage of Final Fantasy 1 on NES.

  • Episode 46: Final Fantasy 1
    May 10 2023

    Oh man.  I shouldn't be writing this.  I'm WAY too biased in favor of this game.  And lord knows it ain't perfect, nor did it age well.  But keep that between us, 'cause I rarely admit that.  I especially won't admit that to Joe.  This week is another triple threat match featuring a game you'd take with you if you were stranded on a desert item and could only take a handful of items.  We welcome Dylan back for another week, and thankfully, he's totally on my side when it comes to arguing with Joe in favor of this game.  Those of you who like this game, love it, so please join us as we have a discussion aka argument about why this game kicks so much ass.  See you in there!

  • Episode 45: Sonic the Hedgehog 2
    May 3 2023

    We've got a new special guest this week!  Dylan hops aboard with us this time for a kick at Sonic the Hedgehog 2 on the Sega Genesis/Megadrive.  Here's another one that I'd frequented as a child, but didn't own a copy myself.  Sometimes when you revisit a game, you realize it was better left in the past, and this, to me, mostly qualifies as one of those games.  Don't get me wrong, super creative character design, a mascot that's still relevant, beautiful graphics, catchy soundtrack, and the most uber-mediocre gameplay ever.  It just wears out its welcome after a few levels.  But its beautiful.  Man, I have mixed feelings.  What do you think?  Jump in and listen as the trio of dudes discuss their opinions on this heavy hitter from Sega.

  • Episode 44: Tekken 3
    Apr 26 2023

    Whether you're into high flying maneuvers, breakdance fighting, or impaling yourself with a glowing sword for no reason, Tekken 3 has the full toolset to bring you and your friends a good time.  This game can be enjoyed alone in a refreshing amount of game modes, and when you add a friend it just seems to elevate the experience.  It's hard to pick at this one too much.  As far as fighting games go, I think this one stayed "good" more so than most of its peers.  Tune in while we reminisce about the good ol' days of Tekken 3 on the PlayStation 1.

  • Episode 43: River City Ransom
    Apr 19 2023

    Another NES classic coming this week.  None of us had played this as children, and stumbled into it later in life or just for this episode.  We didn't all love it, but I can definitely understand why this title was such a hit in it's day.  It doesn't take much for the sprite style to burn into your brain (I learned it from NES Dodgeball), and the system for progression was totally fresh and new, dare I say nothing like this had been done before.  Join Steve, Joe, and Sean as we recap our plays on River City Ransom for the NES!!  See you in the streets.
