Ep. 866 – HAL’s Hole in One Golf

Play

HAL’s Hole in One Golf birdies it’s way onto TADPOG Shores. We are sadly down a Bubba Drewski this week, but at least we all saw Project Hail Mary, so we have that going for us. We go on about what we have been playing AND what we have been reading – we are very close to Pizza Hut in our Accelerated Reader programs. We talk about Dungeon Crawler Carl, and some Delta Green tabletop, and plenty more. Oh yes, and this game. Actually quite a bit. So please, come sit awhile and listen! HAL’s Hole in One Golf!

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?

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

Ep. 859 – Bonkers (SNES)

Play

Bonkers! Totally nuts. Let’s get this out of the way—yes, Tyler sounds terrible. Embrace the terrible. He is out of town for work and is doing his best. So, beyond 1/4 of the show having bad audio, Bubba Drewski joins us to discuss both the cartoon and the show this week. We talk about TikTok cats, FFXIV, something about pants, and the difficulty of job interviews and more. So if you liked Bonkers, or even happen to be familiar with these game – won’t you sit awhile and listen?

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?
