The march to 100 continues with Halo Combat Evolved! My mom loved talking to Cortana on her computer and was fascinated that she was in a video game too.

The march to 100 begins! Tecmo Super Bowl is one of the best sports games ever. Super fun, and despite its arcade style also having a depth of statistical analysis.

Kaiju films meets wrasslin' in 1991's King of the Monsters for the Neo Geo and some other systems. This is a fun game and I offer some thoughts on it in our latest 500 Words episode.

Final Fantasy was a massive influence on me when I was growing up. Honestly, I'm not sure if I would have ended up the person I am today without it. Join me, won't you, for a pretty long episode discussing this plus how the game holds up today.

I thought it would be fun to go through the game in the Konami arcade collection that came out in the recent past. We've done this for a few collections and it's always fun. Thunder Cross rules!

Fire Emblem is a series I came to much later in life, so I was excited to check out its origins. In our newest 500 Words About episode, I discuss the game's flaws as it also lays the groundwork for what is to come in what has become a fairly solid series of games.

Another game rankings episode: This episode covers Sim City 2000, Legend of Zelda: A Link To The Past, Duck Tales II, Legacy Of The Wizard, and Castlevania Chronicles.

This episode is coming out slightly out of order, so bear with me in that regards. I ended up moving some episodes around after the recording session this was a part of last month.

Metroid has never been one of my favorite games, but it's such an important step in the evolution of video games and continues to influence everything today so we had to do an episode about it. Sorry this is a few days late...long week!

We streamed Metroid a few years ago.

We continue our now annual Castlevania coverage during the festive Halloween season with two of the more obscure games in the franchise: First we have Vampire Killer on the MSX followed by the arcade game Haunted Castle.

In our fourth game rankings episode, we add Duck Tales, Chip N Dale Rescue Rangers, River City Ransom, Baseball Stars 2, and Final Fantasy Tactics to the list.

This episode is coming out slightly out of order, so bear with me in that regards. We had a bit more space left in our storage for the month, so I thought sneaking in another episode would be a good idea.
