Ep. 865 – Pokemon Pinball (GBC)

Play

Pokémon Pinball does that one banned maneuver where you lazarus the ball from certain doom back into play, directly to TADPOG shores. Chosen as the TADPOG retro game of the month by the TADPOG Nation, we thought it would be timely to knock this one out. Since it’s pinball, you know we have to bring on Pinball Archmage Chris Edler, and we have another fortunate visit from Bubba Drewski! Hey, it’s a quiz from Ross Rachel Green! We talk about other pinball games, some books, some stand-up, the mythos of Max Headroom, and more. Won’t you come sit a while and listen to four old white guys talk about old Game Boy Color games? Pokémon Pinball!

Ep. 864 – SimCity 2000

Play

SimCity 2000, you know, about THE YEARRRRR TWOOOOO THOUSSAAAANNNNNDDDDD. Right? Okay, good enough. We did Sim City many many years ago so it’s only fair we give the SNES sequel a go like a decade or so afterward. In this episode we try out some special Easter candy in the form of Asian exclusive oreo flavors, a new offering from Little Debbie, and some flavored Peeps. We have that going for us, which is nice. We also do a deep a dive as possible into the SNES port of an amazing and robust PC game. It can only be amazing scaled to match the SNES, right? RIGHT?!

Ep. 863 – D-Force

Play

D-Force forces its D directly onto our show, courtesy of The Randomizer. We are blessed by the presence of Bubba Drewski to help us talk about different kinds of sugar, what Larry David is doing, discuss Ian’s journey into The Dresden Files, Tyler’s journey into He Who Fights With Monsters, Dave’s journey in Project Hail Mary, and how busted some of the Final Fantasy mini games are. We try plenty of foods from Jungle Jim’s and even find some time to talk more deeply about this game that maybe anyone else ever has. So won’t you come sit awhile and listen to some D-Force?
