SSX Tricky is still just as good today as it was in 2001. It's still one of the best snowboarding games ever, and it's also a reminder of what gaming used to be at its best...
And reminded us of when EA was actually kind of... good? RIP EA Sports BIG!

Super Mario World wasn't just the pack-in game for the SNES when it released, it was an important statement from Nintendo that they were ready to take on anything and everything by bringing Mario back for a brand new adventure. Join us as we discuss why it left such a mark on not just video games, but every kid who got the chance to play it.

After way too long, it's finally time for another Retro Blast Memories episode.
This one was difficult for me to write. It's very personal, but I think it will resonate with anyone who was ever a kid that grew up loving video games, especially in the 90s.
I hope you'll enjoy it. - Patrick
