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.

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!
