An early arcade game that got a close to perfect NES port, Spy Hunter was a fun high score challenge that is mostly forgotten about these days but the first NES game (along with the sequel) were some great fun!

Mega Man returns to Afterglow in this episode with one of the controversial releases......do I follow with what many people claim is a sub-par release or do I have other thoughts on this game? Without spoiling it, I will say I played this game much later than a lot of others which may have tempered my opinions on it.

It's been a bit of a wait for this episode, I've been quite busy with some family and work related stuff and have had to put the show in slowdown for a bit. I've got a few partial episodes ready but nothing fully done, but I wanted everyone to have something to listen to in the meanwhile so I figured it was the perfect time to do another bonus episode, this one on my history with retro emulation handhelds! I cover the o...
Something even newer than the last episode? I thought this was a retro show! In my defense the original version that spawned the Rebirth game came out back in 2011, 15 years ago, so I think this sorta qualifies (even if it can still be picked up brand new to this day!). Next episode we go old school, but myself and guest Wolfman both love this retro inspired game and wanted to chat about it some. Maybe you love it too, maybe you&...
Something old.....something new! New for this show at least lol, cause on this episode I am joined by Main Quest host Keith Gasper as we talk about Need For Speed Most Wanted. It's rare that a racing game gets its hooks in me, but this one did back when the 360 was new. Lets see if it holds up today!

Sports games are a rarity here on Afterglow, but every once in a while one will pop in, and this episode is one of them with the NES port of Arch Rivals, a BasketBrawl game. In this episode I go over my memories of what I feel is the foundation of the NBA Jam franchise.

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.
