"It feels like a fan game." Taking my rose tinted nostalgia glasses off, I'd have to agree.

Side Quests is back & this episode's host podcaster & left-handed guitarist leader of a rock band MilkCan, @darrenhupke.bsky.social from @pixelsandpolygons.net! The game he is talking about today is Um Jammer Lammy by NanaOn-Sha & Sony Computer Entertainment. funandgames.libsyn.com/side-quests-...

Unless you're a Patron (www.patreon.com/themainquest) there's no new episode this week BUT you can still hear me talk about video games over on @retrohangover.bsky.social AND draft my favorite launch games over on @superpodsaga.com

In this new episode of Retro Hangover, we will discuss about the game of Sonic R, a racing game featuring Sonic and his friends that seems to be so unique and special. You can give it a listen if you’d like! 😉

This little podcast turns 10 today.

HUGE shout out to @retrohangover.bsky.social for having me back on for ANOTHER classic Sonic game! Even bigger shout out and happy 10 years of podcasting to those guys as well! 🍻

NEW EPISODE! Sonic R! A racing game with the Blue Blur and friends seems like a no-brainer slam dunk, right? Keith of @mainquest.bsky.social joins once again, possibly by accident, to discuss a racing game that somehow both handles like jet ski and moves at the speed of secondhand moped.

Episode 69 (nice) of the Retro Wildlands #podcast is live! This time, we dive into the granddaddy of first person shooters, #Wolfenstein3D! We'll play the first level together and decide if this game still holds up today, or if it's just a relic of the past. Check it out! linktr.ee/retrowildlands

New episode tomorrow! We're talking Sonic R with Keith from @mainquest.bsky.social!

Two days until our podcast on Road House as Patrick MAYze. Do we cover the power of the #PatrickSwayze and Sam Elliott bromance?

Newly scanned from us: an ad from the trade magazine Videogame Advisor (November 1995), which has Sega vainly telling retailers not to support PlayStation, right after the PS1 famously undercut the Sega Saturn Basically the game industry version of "please don't put in the newspaper that I got mad"

Time for a new game from the backlog, and the cool thing about this episode is it only plays when you move! @aspecificegg.bsky.social joined me to discuss SUPERHOT. As always, no spoilers for a while. Enjoy! LISTEN: talesfromthebacklog.fireside.fm/165 WATCH: youtu.be/5jlTI0w6YjM

LUNAR Remastered Collection (Switch) back in-stock on Amazon ($54.99) buff.ly/uLgttDv

This week in our Lunar deep-dive, we're grossly misinterpreting “girl group,” requiring Nash’s friendship, setting out on a Dragon Quest, panty raiding, reading a diary to go insane, spanking another bottom, demanding anime in society, and wondering if Kyle or Victor is Kyle’s worst enemy.

Our second bonus episode, with the great @mollipen.bsky.social, is LIVE for all FunFactor ULTRA Review Crew members! To learn all about her (very) early days writing 'zines, time at EGM & GameFan, and the incredible EGM Compendium Project, become a member at www.funfactorpod.com!

I almost forgot to tell you - there's a NEW EPISODE out RIGHT NOW on Sega's Virtua Racing Deluxe! Does the game hold up today, and how did it influence Sega's persona in the early 90's? podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/1...

In various communities I've heard a lot of "what is a good alternative/replacement for the DualShock 3?" Retro Fighters original Defender had its flaws but worked well in that capacity. If the improvements mentioned here are implemented well, then this could be the controller that is the PS3 answer.

In honor of getting my new blog website up and going, I've finally finished my sorta in-depth write-up of Chrono Cross! scabshack.lol/chrono-cross...

This one’s for my dad. Even if you don’t know or aren’t fond of the game, please still give it a listen. This one is important for me. Thanks.

Heading home with a full heart after PAX East. Played some fun games, hung out with tons of friends new and old, played Video Game Trivia in front of a packed house, and made so many more great memories. Until next year ✌️

In honor of the 30th anniversary of the Sega Saturn, we are making the first episode of Io Saturnalia available to everyone subscribed to the Patreon. Including the free tier!

Gonna be playing some EarthBound (Mother 2) for tonight's livestream. Come hang out! www.youtube.com/live/p-HeoDH...

NEW(ish) EPISODE! Our illustrious and devilishly handsome editor Ashton Ruby joins Chris to discuss Wonder Boy: The Dragon's Trap, a remake of the 1989 platformer by the same name. Does it get the glow up treatment, or is it more like that GTA Trilogy travesty? Find out!

Just finished listening to this awesome discussion with @djstormageddon.com @geoffmakesnoise.bsky.social and @dicetrainingp.bsky.social about a console I totally missed and know very little about! Also at around 0:55:45.... That's me too!

A lot of new followers today. Thank you!
