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 regrets.

In this episode, the OG4 return to talk about our latest pick from the wheel:
💥 Killer Instinct (Game Boy) – the ambitious handheld port of a brutal arcade fighter. Did it land a combo with us or get KO’d by nostalgia?

After giving our honest takes and personal ratings, we introduce a new twist to how GameVerse Club works:
Instead of spinning the wheel, each of us now brings two retro game picks to the table. We rank them together, and the top 3 highest-scoring games become the next official GVC lineup! That way, if one turns out to be a dud, we’ve got backups.

So what made the cut?

🎮 The next 3 GameVerse Club games are:
🐢 Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (NES)
🏁 Crash Team Racing (PS1)
🌈 Kirby’s Dream Land (Game Boy)

Ready to play along? Pick one, two, or all three and join us on the ride!

🕹️ Join the GameVerse Club!
We’ll be playing these games until the next GameVerse Club episode, and we’d love for you to join in. Share your thoughts, screenshots, retro memories, or spicy takes on our Discord:
