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. Won’t you come sit awhile and listen to all of it with us? Arcade’s Greatest Hits: The Atari Collection 1!

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?

Ep. 853 – ActRaiser 2

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?

Ep. 849 – Super James Pond (SNES)

Play

Super James Pond swims through the snow to TADPOG shores! Why snow? For some reason, this is a Christmas game, so that’s why we let it circumvent the Randomizer and get some love…or more likely some hate. You’ll have to listen or have listened to a few of our shows before to infer our general feelings about this sort of game. But hey, it’s not a sports or a Koei game. We try a cornucopia of gummy treats, talk about Paducah food, Beavis and Butt-Head, and more. Won’t you come sit awhile and listen? MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Ep. 847 – WarpSpeed (SNES)

Play

WarpSpeed crashes onto TADPOG shores this week. We celebrate with Ian’s 3D printing, plenty of what we have been playing, what we have been watching, what we have been reading and more. We even discuss what we will play for Christmas this year. What do we think of this generically named game that we have never heard of before? I guess you’ll have to listen and find out. So won’t you please download some sort of podcasting app on your phone, find us, subscribe, make sure you are on Wi-Fi somewhere so you don’t drive up your data, download an episode, then sit awhile and listen? WarpSpeed!

Ep. 845 – The Adventures of Dr. Franken (SNES)

Play

The Adventures of Dr. Franken, otherwise known as a justification to watch the new Frankenstein for the show, arrives on TADPOG shores! We mix is up in order to keep Nicole guess with our order of operations and discuss Guillermo Del Toro’s Frankenstein right out of the gate. Then we discuss plenty of Stephen King, Janitor Joe, Young Frankenstein, and more. THEN we get to the game. Well, we also try some Goo Goo bars and the latest offering from Final Boss Sour. So if you have a hankering from some Steinkering (I know, just go with it for me) then come sit awhile and listen to us grouse about The Adventures of Dr. Franken.

Ep. 843 – The Sporting News: Baseball (SNES)

Play

The Sporting News: Baseball slides its way to TADPOG Shores, courtesy of the Randomizer. Just for good measure, we bring someone who has actually heard of The Sporting News – BubbyDrewski! Hey, it’s TADPOG and sports. Not arcade sports but a real sports simulator type game so you know what they generally means for us. So we get the game talk out of the way pretty early then dive into a smell draft, fried chicken, a deep dive into Ian’s Horror Hole, and plenty of what we have been playing game talk. Won’t you come sit awhile and listen?
