Well. Here it is. The game you’ve all been waiting for us to cover.,,Steel Talons! You know it’s a serious game because the “O” in the game’s logo is a targeting reticle. It’s a game so important to the SNES library that Tyler dipped out and we got Bubba Drewski on as third mic to weigh in on this true gaming classic. Dare I say “hidden gem” for the SEO? You bet your ass I will. Hidden Gem alert! Hidden Gem alert!

Any views or opinions represented in this intro are Dave’s and belong solely to Dave and may not represent the views of TADPOG.

Spider-Man! That’s right, Phil Spiderman, hits TADPOG shores. We’ve done Maximum Carnage, is this game similar? NO? Is that a bad thing? Listen and find out! You can probably guess. But just to clear everything up, we brought on our foremost Spidermanologist, Sandwich Pope Phil! Before we get started, we have to visit TADPOG Book Nook with Ian finishing up Ghost Story from The Dresden Files, Tyler starts the latest The Primal Hunter, and Phil gets into The Icewind Dale Trilogy. Dave gets up to some games with Henry, we talk about video game movies and games are are better than this one. Won’t you stay awhile and listen?

Mina the Hollower digs it’s way over to TADPOG shores – it has to be something special in order to break out SNES streak with a new release. Some please come sit awhile and listen to us review this retro style game for Steam. Tyler went to Jungle Jim’s and returned with a bevy of treats, so we bring on Chocochica to try them out with us. So plenty of sampling, LOTS of TADPOG Book Nook going on with Ian reaching a pivotal point in the Dresden Files and Tyler finishing a few books too. But Mina is the start of the show here, so join us in the chat – wont’ you? Mina the Hollower!

Ep. 871 – Pac-Attack (SNES)

Play

Podcast: Play in new window | Download

Pac-Attack, yes, that is correct. More tangential Pac-Man properties that just take the brand and force it into new elements. How will this stack up to the other crazy Pac-Man games on the SNES? We get there – eventually. But first we do a deep dive into the TADPOG book club with Dungeon Crawler Carl and The Parade of Horribles, The Dresden Files Small Favor and Turn Coat, and Stephen King’s Hearts in Atlantis. Then our typical visit to Ian’s Horror Hole, Anime I, etc. Then tons of Pac goodness. So won’t you come sit awhile and listen to a little episode of Pac-Attack?
