Episode 244 : The Thing (XBox / PS2 / PC)
2 november 2026 · 53 min
For a special 2026 Halloween Trick, we're putting out our 2nd Retroween2026 episode just after the holiday! But, this year we are playing a game none of us had played previously, which is odd since it's based on a movie we all love - The Thing from 1982! Or we thought it was - but it's actually a sequel to that movie! Is it worth playing? We'll let you know our thoughts! Lees meer

Ep 243 : Infernax (Modern systems)
19 oktober 2026 · 1 uur 6 min
For our first episode of Retroween2026, we're doing a patron request for a game that isn't technically a classic game -- YET. Infernax came out a few years back, and it's essentially "what if Castlevania 2 : Simon's Quest was better!", and I think it does hit it's goal. But how does it compare to the actual new Castlevania sequel, Belmont's Curse? We talk about that as well! Lees meer

Ep 242 : Super Mario Sunshine (GameCube)
29 september 2026 · 1 uur 2 min
After an unintended break, we're here again to discuss a game somewhat recently re-released to the Nintendo Switch 2 GameCube library - Super Mario Sunshine! Mario and his friends take a vacation that goes awry and only Mario and his water-squirting backpack can save the day-- but are the additional water-shooting mechanics any fun or an unnecessary addition to the franchise? We played it again now to see! Lees meer

Ep 238 : True Lies (SNES)
28 mei 2026 · 1 uur 5 min
True Lies the movie came out in 1994 and was an Arnold Schwarzenegger action comedy. So, it only makes sense that in 1995 there would be a video game based on it for the SNES, Genesis, Game Boy, and Game Gear. But after watching the movie - there isn't that much action. What did they do to pad it out then? Well, listen up, we're gonna tell you. Lees meer

14 april 2026 · 1 uur 24 min
This time we're taking a look at the second Jurassic Park game for the Genesis, Jurassic Park Rampage Edition! While the title might lead you to believe it's just the first game with some new content, this is more of a second try at making that first game again, with similar but different levels, and improved gameplay. Also, did we mention you can play as a person OR as a raptor? Yeah, nobody is playing as Dr. Grant. Lees meer

To kick off D'OH-vember 2025, we're taking a look at the first console game for the show - Bart vs the Space Mutants for the NES!

It's another patron request, sans Billy, as we take on Baldur's Gate : Dark Alliance for the PS2! It was also released on the XBox, GameCube, and even the GBA, but we both played it on the PS2 for this episode. This is a Diablo-style game, but based in the world of Dungeons and Dragons, and has a far more action-arcade style than the previous Baldur's Gate games had -- but is that good or bad? Lees meer

30 april 2025 · 1 uur 41 min
We're taking on another request, this time for Sega's 8-bit console.

We played it to let you know our thoughts. Lees meer
We also all have been playing the same current game, but not on purpose - and our patron Jason wanted to let everyone know about the Uncanny X-Cast, which you can find here : https://uncannyxcast.libsyn.com/

Episode 218 : E.V.O. Search for Eden (SNES)
19 april 2025 · 1 uur 4 min
We're taking on an Enix title from Nintendo's 16-bit powerhouse, an action RPG game about evolution, as requested by Cody on our Patreon. Evolve your character from a fish up to a human, all while following a very specific "eat or be eaten" mindset, this is a unique title from the era for sure, but should you play it today? We let you know our thoughts. Lees meer
And speaking of thoughts, I know we made some pretty bad Switch predictions before that system launched... and we are giving our thoughts on the Switch 2 this week before we get into the game. I think this time we might share the opinions of many people out there, but go ahead and bookmark this one to run in our faces again.
Want to jump right to the game? Well switch on over to the 16:15 mark.

Episode 216 : The Legend of Zelda - A Link to the Past - RANDOMIZED!
11 maart 2025 · 1 uur 28 min
This week we're doing something very different! By Patron request, we're playing a classic SNES game, The Legend of Zelda : A Link to the Past, but we're playing it with a randomizer. Items are moved around, meaning you'll tackle this game in a different order, with different weapons and items than you're used to, and it's a very different experience. Lees meer
Here's the directions we had : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=82dogTS1KT4 (Not our video!) and then create your file over here : https://alttpr.com/en
We discuss the game itself first, and then our experience with the randomizer, and then of course take on some listener mail.

Episode 213 : Shadow Hearts (PS2)
21 januari 2025 · 1 uur 28 min
We're taking on another Patron request, this time on Shadow Hearts for the PlayStation 2! This RPG is a bit different from most turn-based RPGs, in that everything you do has some specific timing involved, the setting is a little out of the ordinary, and your main character can turn into different demons during the game. Is this a game worth checking out today? We played through it to give you our thoughts! Lees meer
We also discuss our thoughts on the Switch 2 reveal, and attempt to stay current with our mailbag, answering questions about aliens, guitars, spam, and maybe even a game or two.

Episode 212 : Action MAX, Captain Power, and the 2024 Mailbag Cleanout!
30 december 2024 · 1 uur 48 min
It's our last show of 2024, and as tradition dictates we're going to clean out the mailbag to kick off the new year. However, this year we're also taking on the Action MAX by Patron request, which was a videotape requiring home light gun console released in 1987. We compared this system with another toy/game that was out the same time, Captain Power. This is a little different than our usual fare, but we think this ended up as an interesting look back on how companies were trying to complete with the NES at the time. Lees meer

Welcome to D'OH-vember! We're talking about a 16-bit entry in the Simpsons console game lineup, The Simpson's Bart's Nightmare!

Our 2nd Halloween episode for 2024, we're taking a look at Patron-requested Cold Fear!

Our first Halloween episode of Retrovaniacs for 2024! We're talking about Harvester for the PC, a point-and-click adventure game with an interesting twist both in story and in gameplay, a Patron Pick!

We're doing another patron request, this time we're looking at The Fantastic Adventures of Dizzy (aka Fantastic Dizzy) for the NES!
