Ep.75 - Zool (Sega Mega Drive)
Thursday Aug 19, 2021
Thursday Aug 19, 2021
Are you the sort of person who watches bumper bundles of old adverts on YouTube for a sweet little hit of nostalgia? Then boy do we have the game for you! Zool is the first game Chris and Ashley have played that has included overt product placement! The game is a home grown 90s platformer that shares more than a little DNA with the blue blur, but does it live up to the standards of the hasty hedgehog himself? Listen in to find out!

Ep.74 - Mega Man Battle Network (Nintendo Game Boy Advance)
Thursday Aug 12, 2021
Thursday Aug 12, 2021
Turns out not everyone in the whole world has played a Mega Man game like Ashley thought, because Chris had never touched one before. In a way, he still hasn't because Mega Man Battle Network isn't your Nana's Mega Man. A fusion of several different genres, the title takes in elements of action, turn-based, and tactics RPGs, as well as a bit of puzzling and a dose of Pokemon-style collectomania! Sounds interesting, doesn't it! Listen in to find out more!

Ep.73 - Fantasy Zone (Sega Game Gear)
Thursday Aug 05, 2021
Thursday Aug 05, 2021
Fantasy Zone, released on the Game Gear in 1991, is a bright, bold and breezy shoot-em-up starring Opa Opa, a sentient space ship. Confusingly, it is a reworking of Fantasy Zone, released on the Master System in 1986, a bright, bold and breezy shoot-em-up starring Opa Opa, a sentient space ship. Does the Game Gear version bring something new to the table? Is the game worth a go? What is a cute-em-up? Give us a listen and find out!

Ep.72 - Agar.io (Browser-based)

Thursday Jul 29, 2021
Does your brain sometimes move at a million miles an hour even when you don't want it to? Do you sometimes find yourself in need of a moment? If the answer is yes, then Agar.io might just be the game for you. A semi-serene take on battle-royale style gameplay (and predating a number of the big names in that space, to boot!) Agar.io isn't necessarily everyone's cup of tea, but it could be yours! Listen in to find out why!

Ep.71 - Normality (PC)
Thursday Jul 22, 2021
Thursday Jul 22, 2021
Normality, a 90s adventure game set against a dystopian quasi-United Kingdom on the brink of revolution created by the developers of the Premier Manager series. Sounds like Chris and Ashley's very precise cup of tea, that! But is it, though? Is it really? Give us a listen and find out!

Wednesday Jul 14, 2021
To celebrate seventy episodes, Chris and Ashley play Clock Tower, a Japan-only survival horror game often talked about as one of the games that really got the ball rolling for the genre, and one that turns the tables on how the pair usually respond to horror-filled gaming. Listen in to find out why exactly Ashley loved this, and what turned Chris away.
