Silver Surfer. One-time personal assistant to Galactus, now not so much. Join Chris and special guest Josh Bowman of Fait Deficit as they take a look at this wonderfully misunderstood character along with another LJN classic on the NES.Continue Reading
The Punisher is a great character with a rich history. From killing the Marvel Universe to hunting Spider-Man to being as close to a hero as a stone cold killer can get, we’re taking a look at a brief glimpse into the Punisher comic universe and then diving straight into the NES and Gameboy games.Continue Reading
Ah, this little hidden gem works on multiple levels. Listen in as Chris and his special guest/wife Kayleigh take a look at the Little Nemo comics, animated movie, and the game for the NES.Continue Reading
X-Men is one of the most beloved comic franchises there is, no question about it. So of course they get this LJN steaming pile of shit. Honestly, I want to just go crawl in a hole and cry myself to sleep.Continue Reading
We have our first revisit to a franchise, so if you haven’t checked out our episode about Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles you should probably do that.Continue Reading
We knew basically nothing about Dick Tracy coming into this. Well, nothing except that he wears yellow and he’s a detective. So clean slate for this show!Continue Reading
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles is a game we all know from a comic series we all know exists. Ha, joke’s on us because most of the people I know grew up on the cartoons.Continue Reading
Ah, Batman. What can you say about someone with such a storied past? Well, Chris and Sean go off on an over sized episode that tries to capture the magic of one of the better games on the NES.Continue Reading
Wow, this one is horrible. Not the episode, it’s pretty sweet. But the game itself? It’s pretty bad.Continue Reading
Sean joins Chris and the show goes insane in the best way possible. The language gets more adult though so you might want to be careful about that. We try no to go overboard, but no promises.Continue Reading
Spy vs Spy, and incorrectly Spy vs Spy 2 in this case, are looked at in this episode. Thankfully the sequel doesn’t really change much beyond the setting so it’s not a big deal. The game was planned and development started for an NES release over here, so it could have happened.Continue Reading
Wow, the games for the Atari 2600 are really crappy. Flash stuff from the early 90s was better. Today’s creators could barf up a better game in their sleep.Continue Reading
