Welcome to the first bonus segment of Episode 8 — it’s time for another round of GameVerse Club, your retro gaming home!
This is our very own book club for games, where we spin the wheel, pick a retro title, play it between episodes, and come back to share our thoughts, stories, and sometimes... our struggles.
This time, the OG4 look back on the last wheel pick:
🛡️ The Guardian Legend – a unique NES classic that blends Zelda-like exploration with fast-paced shoot-’em-up action. Was it ahead of its time or just too weird to handle? We break it down.
Then it’s time for the next spin of the GameVerse Club Wheel! Here were the retro contenders:
🎯 Mario Golf (Game Boy Color)
🦇 Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow (Game Boy Advance)
🌟 Kirby’s Dream Land (Game Boy)
🧝♂️ The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap (Game Boy Advance)
🔥 Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones (Game Boy Advance)
🤖 Mega Man & Bass (Game Boy Advance)
🍄 Super Mario Land (Game Boy)
🌕 Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins (Game Boy)
And the wheel landed on…
🎉 Super Mario Land!
We’re heading back to Sarasaland for a bite-sized but classic Mario adventure, and we want YOU to come with us!
🕹️ Join the GameVerse Club!
We’ll be playing Super Mario Land until the next GameVerse Club segment, and we’d love for you to play along!
