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. 861 – Frogger (SNES)

Play

Frogger leaps onto TADPOG shores, courtesy of a busy week for us all. But first, we do plenty of book talk, anime talk, what we have been playing, and more. For a game we all felt a certain way about, we packed plenty of good conversation into this episode. So from Atari to Seinfeld, won’t you come sit awhile, download, and listen to 3 old white guys talk about slightly less old stuff? Frogger!

Ep. 860 – Arcade’s Greatest Hits: The Atari Collection 1 (SNES)

Play

Arcade’s Greatest Hits: The Atari Collection 1 – is quite a mouthful for this sort of game. But hey, it’s a thing. Tyler has returned with full audio capabilities and plenty of snack for us to try from Jungle Jim’s. So we discuss work woes, job interviews, snacks, audiobooks, and some new music. We do plenty of a diving into each of the classic Atari games in this collection, so worry not. We get some great emails from ‘Zine Lord Brad and The Mayor of Soso.

Ep. 858 – Aero Fighters (SNES)

Play

Aero Fighters, you know—Aeros. And they are fighting. Did you guess this would be an intense cinematic platformer detailing a surface-dwelling human’s adventure trying to make his way through a cloud kingdom he woke up in? If so, you didn’t look at the game cover. It’s a top-down shooter. But I give you points for creativity. And someone should make that game. Or not, Tyler hates the genre. BUT AERO FIGHTERS! We visited quite a few movies this week, with some books and TV mixed in. Lots of zombie game talk for some reason, but we also do a solid dive into this game. So won’t you end this meandering episode introduction and just stay awhile and listen?

Play

ActRaiser 2, the factual sequel to factual sequel to the Biblical book of Acts has finally arrived on TADPOG shores. Tyler has returned to us, and he didn’t die this time, so he talks about his week away. We deeply discuss donkeys and their wedding presence. TADPOG Book nook arrives as Tyler and Dave discuss the books read for the week and what Ian has watched for the week. We’re fortunate to have BubbaDrewski back, fresh from his flight in. We do get very into ActRaiser 2 and a few treats. So won’t you come sit awhile and listen to some old white men talk about video games?

Ep. 851 – Liberty or Death! (SNES)

Play

Liberty or Death! or cake? Nah, no Eddie Izzard references here (for the moment). You know we love the vast field of minutia and crunch that are all Koei games, so surely we do even better with a game that relates to history we studied in middle and high school, right? RIGHT?! Plenty of time for all that, so we discuss Hardee’s, the overconsumption of alcohol, and a few movies we saw for the week. Lots of stuff here so won’t you come sit awhile and listen?
