This podcast where Ashley and Chris, two game fans, bang on about games from their own personal gaming history whilst failing to avoid the conversational side streets that pop up. Each week, one of the pair presents a game from their childhood in the first half, alongside a potted history of its development and any personal stories linked to it. After playing the game off-mic, the second half is a discussion of how it holds up and whether the memories of it were true after all.

Perhaps one of Mario's greatest leaps was from the home console to Nintendo's handheld Game Boy in Super Mario Land. The pocket-sized plumber's adventures through lands unknown was a huge hit, seemingly making its way into many a living room. But does the game still deserve a stellar reception? Listen in to find out!
As discussed in the episode, you can find 'Supermarioland' by Ambassadors of Funk RIGHT HERE: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A2nF92mu8X0

Seasons greetings to all our listeners! In a break with tradition, we're doing a slightly different festive episode this year that we're dubbing The Gift of the Game.

The artwork gives the game away but listen to find out which we recommend - perfect for a sleepy Christmas Day afternoon!

It's the week before Christmas, and all through the house, not a sound can be heard except for the very particular screeching scrape of trucks against a hardwood banister and the clackety clack of the wheels of skateboards. The house has been invaded by skaters and there's a party going on. This is not a drill, but it most definitely is Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3 dropping in hard for some festive fun. Come find out all about it, fellow kids!
