Spook-tober is back, and we are starting with one of the franchises that put horror games on the map with Castlevania and a game where they actually were a launch title with Circle of the Moon on the Game Boy Advance. This is the third game I bought for the GBA and I was surprised when it wasn't the old school style Castlevania game like the NES had but instead a Metroid style exploration game!
It's time for us to explore the origins of the Blue Bomber with the original release of Mega Man on the NES, followed by a little discussion on Wily Wars and Powered Up as well.

Keith, host of the Main Quest Podcast, closes his episodes saying "It's OK to like a video game". I'll be putting that notion to the test as I defend E.T. for the Atari 2600, a game the internet universally despises and blames the US Video Game Crash of the 80's for. However, I feel these thoughts are entirely unfair and in this episode, I'll explain my viewpoint.
We're going on another quest with the host of Main Quest, Keith, as we give our joint memories and thoughts on the sequel to the game that made RPGs huge in the US in Final Fantasy 8.

We're getting Pac-Man Fever on this episode of Afterglow, going WAY back to before I was even born with Pac-Man! I cover the arcade version along with the infamous Atari 2600 port and also go on a bit of a dive on all the merch and legacy this game started.

Slaje joins this episode as we tackle a classic action RPG on the SNES that is often fondly remembered but not talked about as much as many others with Illusion of Gaia. This game had many moments that dealt with subject matter that often isn't even handled in todays modern games along with a unique level up mechanic that I haven't seen since.

Better late than never! I had the double whammy of PC issues and medical issues delaying recording, but I wanted to get something out while waiting for my PC parts to come in, so I got a laptop and wanted to record a short, but special epsisode for an early favorite of mine. Joust is a game I have VERY early memories of for the arcade version, than it showed up again early in my NES heyday.
It might not be Halloween season yet, but there's always time for some spooky fun anytime in the year so myself and our guest Keaton decided to celebrate the LucasArts classic Zombies Ate My Neighbors!

As listeners know, I am a big Final Fantasy fan. That beings said, I was late to the party for the fifth entry, partially due to how long it took to be released in the United States and because of other games I had played since it originally released. I eventually caught up though! I'm joined by Chris (Xodyak) from Retro Hangover as we discuss our mutual memories and thoughts on Final Fantasy 5!

Everybody was Kung-Fu Fighting in this episode of Afterglow as I look at the game that started the beat-up-up genre (at least for me) in Double Dragon for the NES.

A game doesn't need to be perfect to be fun, and this episodes game is the perfect example of that. This game has flaws but is also just a nice sit down and play experience. It's not talked about much today, but if you are looking for a fun, short, and not too difficult NES game, Wrath of the Black Manta is a good choice.

Lets close out Steiner Math March with a game based on a great show.....but the game was a huge disappointment to me. I read the reviews as a young adult but wanted to give it a chance. I should have trusted the reviews.

Steiner Math March continues with WWF Wrestlemania on the NES. This was the first wrestling game I played in my life.......and thankfully I tried others because this one wasn't so good.

It's time for Steiner Math March! Last year in March we did a special wrestling month called Big Meaty Men Slappin' Meat in March, and I wanted to do it again this year, but this time featuring wrestling games I perhaps wasn't so hot on; wrestling games I didn't care much for. Kicking this month off will be the WWF In Your House for PS1 (as well as Saturn), a game I had high hopes for but ended up.....well......lis...
How'd this end up here?
