This podcast where Ashley and Chris, two game boys, chat about titles from their personal gaming history. Each episode, one of the hosts presents a game from their childhood, including a brief history of its development and any personal anecdotes. After playing the game off-mic, the second half of the podcast is a discussion of how it holds up and whether the nostalgia factor still stands.

The Simpsons was laying the stage for the rest of 90s pop culture before the decade even began, and in 1991 they took their first tentative steps into the gaming arena with not one, but two different titles. Yes, everyone and their best mate will remember the arcade heavy hitter, but this week Chris and Ashley are playing a slightly lower key entry in the form of The Simpsons: Bart vs. the Space Mutants. Released across multiple consoles, the game sees Bart attempt to repel a full-on space invasion mostly with a can of spray paint. How does he do? Listen in to find out!

In Bad Mojo, you get turned into a cockroach and have to explore a seedy bar populated by other creepy-crawlies in a game inspired by Kafka and David Lynch, featuring FMV sequences using Jim Carrey levels of ker-azy hammy acting. Interest piqued yet?

Chris absolutely pulls it out of the bag with this week's Mega Drive pick, which comes in the sleek and streamlined shape of Ecco: The Tides of Time. It's a game Ashley has never played, but coveted heavily as a kid seeing the superb ads in between episodes of Kenan and Kel and Clarissa (probably). But does it stand up to the relentless march of time? Press play to find out!

This week, Chris and Ashley are transported to a far away land where Monsters rule! That's right, Chris and Ashley have mostly been trading in their tablets for a host of strange creatures in Monster Rancher Advance 2, a game that sees players coralling and cajoling their ranch buddies into becoming the best of the best.

After Chris' Rosebud drop last week, Ashley had a hankering for some of the original The Sims - so here it is! We delve deep into the myriad expansion packs available, discuss how the game strives to reflect some distorted version of real life and reflect on why the game's overreliance on Comic Sans may induce some font snobbery.

We take it back to 2001 this week to celebrate the news that Rockstar and Remedy are remastering Max Payne, this game where you solve a bad murder by shooting up loads of baddies. It's most famous for its use of bullet time and cracking script, but does it still play well? Listen in to find out!
