Ep. 839 – Captain Commando (SNES)

Podcast: Play in new window | Download

Captain Commando commands its way to TADPOG shores, courtesy of Ian’s suggestion. Commando wasn’t working out too well so we pivoted to another thematic SNES game this week. Judging by the baby in the mech suit, you can imagine what we collectively thought about this game. BUT first, Tyler has gifts from his recent business trip. We talk about what we’ve been playing. Being adults and repairing our houses. The intensity of iPhone security and more. We really get into the game talk and say a few things we haven’t gotten to say about a game in some time. So, please, won’t you come sit awhile and listen?

Ep. 818 – Sonic Blast Man & Sonic Blast Man II

Podcast: Play in new window | Download

Sonic Blast Man blasts its way onto TADPOG shores – not just once but TWICE! That’s right. We cover both Sonic Blast Man and Sonic Blast Man II. So we catch up from the last week where Dave had to go to Orlando on a work trip while Ian and Tyler worked in Paducah. But we all had plenty of time to reflect upon our time with these games. Not gonna lie, these show notes are very much a fusion of last week AND last week because above all things we have to stay on brand. We’ll still stay on brand with a great little Game Gear game next week. So please, won’t you stay a while and listen?

Ep. 763 – Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: The Movie

Podcast: Play in new window | Download

Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: The Movie go go goes to this podcast with a simple roll a d20 courtesy of the mini-randomizer that only randomizes SNES movie games. We played the first Power Rangers game and that horrendous Mario Kart clone of a Power Rangers racing game with Zeo. Where does this game fall in that spectrum? We’ll get to that but first we break down the movie and were it’s release landed with us. Dave had a big week so we jump into that news, talk about some books (that may also include some Dark Tower talk) but there is plenty of Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: The Movie talk to go around, so please sit awhile and listen!

Ep. 743 – Alien vs Predator

Podcast: Play in new window | Download

Alien vs Predator comes along in our stunning series of SNES games with VS in the title. So that’s 2 out of the 3. We think. There is a list somewhere but it’s long. We’ll get there. You know what we’re about here at TADPOG. We congratulate Ian on winning an award. We talk plenty about the Dark Tower as Dave has moved onto Ian and Tyler’s favorite book of the whole series, Wizard and Glass. Dave tells of his journey into Final Fantasy XIV expansion packs. There is a deep dive into this movie and how the game stacks up to what happens in it and more. So please, sit awhile and listen to us go on about Alien vs Predator!

Ep. 687 – Stone Protectors

Podcast: Play in new window | Download

Stone Protectors! Do you recall this 1993 SMASH hit cartoon that aired 8 episodes and tried to combine the troll doll craze with the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle craze? No?! But it even had a Super Nintendo release! Still no?! Well, neither did we so we all played it and do a pretty deep dive into it. We had to start with the new tradition of some sort of food draft – this time it’s cookies! So we did that, visited Ian’s Horror Hole, discussed some games we had played, Ian reveals to use there is a Criterion Collection Streaming Service, and end with a binge of all the (now long expired) food that everyone has sent in to us. So please come sit awhile and listen to three white guys talk about things!

Ep. 676 – Rival Turf!

Rival Turf

Podcast: Play in new window | Download

Rival Turf! We have finally arrived at the last (it’s the first chronologically but the last for us to do) in the Rushing Beat Series. Thanks to Nintendo bringing literally anything Jaleco makes, at whatever discount the license comes at, to the Nintendo Switch Online platform. We have to talk about the movie Prey and many things about the Predator movies. Ian continues with journey into the dark realm of anime, Dave gives us a look into the WB Multiverse game, and Tyler discusses his streaming. And we talk quite a bit about Rival Turf!, what we think about it, and how is compares to the games it tries to emulate. So why not come sit awhile and listen to three old guys talk about an old game. Rival Turf!

Ep. 669 – King of Dragons

Podcast: Play in new window | Download

King of Dragons! The Randomizer won’t let you down, even when COVID and work related events will! We had to postpone the newest episode of The Scott Pilgrim game so we fell back on what the Randomizer chose after Tecmo Super Bowl – King of Dragons. It’s more medieval madness in the vein as Knights of the Round and Golden Axe. We do a deep dive as we all actually played this game together (Thank you, Nintendo Switch Online). But before that we talk about Death Note, how not to run a pizza place, and we take a fun psychological quiz – make sure to grab a pencil and paper so you can play along, it’s fun. Stop rolling your eyes, Dane. It’s fun. You’ll see.

Ep. 631 – Brawl Brothers

Brawl Brothers

Podcast: Play in new window | Download

Brawl Brothers! Just look at the art for the game. It’s supposed to two guys down the middle but just looks pretty terrible. Is this art better or worse than the game? Come find out! We talk about suffering from gout, lay heaps of praise upon the Post Papa John’s version of Papa John’s (this time with extra Shaq). We discuss taking care of your house, beef jerky, board games, the outrageous cost of pepperoncini peppers.
