Ep. 444 – StarTropics

StarTropics

Start ropics? Startropical Capricorn? STARTROPICS! That’s what we are doing for this week’s rundown of the games on the NES Classic, as brought to you by Mastermold Mike. Are you super thirsty for all that StarTropic goodness? Well, don’t be. It is a very long walk through hobos asking for money and Brandon of Axelay fame calling you a skank before we get there. Really, we do talk about the game but not for about 40 minutes. So don’t say we didn’t warn you, but it’s totally worth it to take that journey with us.  Continue reading

Ep. 442 – Tengen Ms. Pac-Man

Tengen Ms. Pac-Man

We’ve been playing our way through the NES Classic alphabetically and we made it to Pac-Man. We’ve already discussed Pac-Man, so Dave really wanted to talk about one of his favorite games of all-time: Ms. Pac-Man. To keep with the NES theme we decided to talk about Ms. Pac-Man for the NES. And because we’re apparently into taking risks, we decided to play the unlicensed Tengen Ms. Pac-Man for the NES (for the cooperative play). We also talk about finger smells, narcissism is a running theme, we listen to voicemail, and we prepare to embark for the Lousiville Arcade Expo.  Continue reading

Ep. 441 – Ninja Gaiden

Ninja Gaiden

Like two ghosts in the moonlight, the ninja podcasters stalk their prey. Yes, that’s right, we’re talking about Ninja Gaiden for the NES. If that’s not enough: We talk about jeans! We offhandedly mention Shallow Hal! There’s a Ninja Quiz!  Continue reading

Ep. 440 – Dream Daddy

Dream Daddy

On this week’s episode, we are continuing our Valentine’s Day tradition by talking about a romantic game with Rhythm Master Paul and Soul Sister Yarn Sorceress Chandra. The romantic game being discussed? Why that would be the 2017 (that counts as “old” right?) visual novel Dream Daddy published by Game Grumps. But that’s not all! We also eat Bad Dog spicy jellies and there is a “TV Dads Quiz”.  Continue reading

Ep. 439 – Metroid

This week we’re back, baby! And we’re talking about Mega Man 2 for the NES. We also open a big package from Mastermold and a couple of Christmas cards. We also talk about R. Kelly and DMX a little, and there is a “robots in pop-culture” quiz.  Continue reading

Ep. 437 – Super Mario Bros. The Movie

Super Mario Bros. The Movie

In 1990, a dark decision was made with a house of light. A diabolical deal was struck and the Super Mario Bros. movie was greenlit. On this very special declassified episode, we sit down to talk about this dystopian romp through a cyberpunk alternate universe. Dave legitimately gets upset and removes his glasses, which temporarily breaks the illusion spell which conceals his true identity, revealing his demonic form. So…if you’re into that kind of thing, do we have an episode for you!  Continue reading
