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.

When Ashley was young and acting up, his mum used to tell him he'd be lucky to get to his next birthday. Well now he's 31 and he's not only defied those expectations, he's also one half of a podcasting duo that has three episodes! Congratulations him.
Episode three is all about adventure games focussed through the lens of 1995's excellent Discworld, this game where you take on the role of Rincewind, a hapless wizard roving around the vastness of Ankh-Morpork trying to riddle out the mystery of a secret brotherhood intent on wreaking havoc with a dragon summoned from another dimension. The game has an unbelievable cast, with none other than Eric Idle as the voice of our hero.
So sit back, relax (unless you're driving, then pay attention), and listen to Chris and Ashley take a ramble through the annals of 90s adventure gaming and beyond.

We're back with episode 2 of This Game Where! This week Ashley chose the platform game Greendog: The Beached Surfer Dude, a platformer from the Mega Drive that has a strange Genesis (see what we did there?).
Heralding from the mysterious time that was 1992, the game sees you take on the role of Greendog, a surfer under the influence of an ancient Aztec curse. He must traverse the world to find the six pieces of Aztec treasure that will allow him to surf again.
Join us then to hear more about Greendog, and more than you might ever care to know about its creator, Rick Green.

So here it is! The first episode of This Game Where. You maybe aren't as excited as we are about it (yet!) but please do give it a listen and let us know what you think!
Chris had the honour of choosing our first game and he went for Toejam and Earl in Panic on Funkotron, a platformer which released for the Mega Drive in 1994 (or '93 if you were in North America.)
So join us for a look back at a game that many people regard as having definitely released for the Mega Drive and find out what we make of it!
And if Toejam and Earl doesn't float your boat, fear not! We also talk about Little Nemo in Dream World, Sonic and Knuckles, and Crusader of Centy, among many more!
