Little Nemo: The Dream Master is unquestionably the single most requested game in RTG history, albeit by 2 people. It's a charming little NES platformer where you feed animals candy until they pass out, and then you wear their skin. Seriously.

If it sounds kinda messed up, well, it is. But it's also a really fun, kinda tough NES game, and it's made by Capcom, so it has to be decent at worst. I remember seeing it in magazines as a kid, and renting it a couple times. I used to think it was too hard, but playing it now I find it most beatable (that final level is pretty rough). Getting to play as the various animals is cool, and hey, who doesn't love poisonous candy?

My guest this week is the man that has been on me to cover this game for 5+ years, long-time hot dog, Awright/Andrew. I asked him why he loves this game so much, and we ranked the various animal costumes, went through all the levels, and made fun of how fucked up the premise of the game is. This was a good time.

And before we feed animals candy, I put together another edition of the Infamous Intro!

This week, someone asks me for Steam Deck recommendations. What's a good game for someone to try tactical RPGs with? And how often do people make bad puns with my last name??

Plus we play another round of 'Play One, Remake One, Erase One', too! This one features 3 lesser-known Capcom NES games: Strider, Code Name: Viper, and Bionic Commando.

A milestone episode calls for a milestone game, and for my stone's money there's no game as big as The Last of Us. Without any exaggeration, I can safely say this is one of my 3 favourite games of all-time.

The story is unlike anything I've ever played before. Frankly, it's better than practically every show or movie I've ever watched, too. And then add in incredible acting, awesome gameplay, and one of the most endearing characters in the history of media, and you've got yourself something special. And that ending?? Forget about it!

My guest this week is an institution here at RTG Industries, my bosom chum, Mark McCue. We spent an hour and a half praising the hell out of this game, going over the story and characters, and I think we did a damned OK job of explaining why The Last of Us is just so freaking special.

And before we look for the Fireflies, I put together another edition of the Infamous Intro!

This week, someone asks me what retro gaming podcasts I listen to. How do I deal with haters online? And why the HELL am I not playing Metal Gear Solid Delta??

Plus we play another round of 'Play One, Remake One, Erase One', too! This one features 3 of the highest rated PS3 games on Metacritic: Metal Gear Solid 4, Killzone 2, and Infamous 2.

We waited about 250 episodes too long to cover one of my favourite PS2 games of all-time. This week, we're talking Twisted Metal:Black, which is the best game in one of the coolest franchises in the history of gaming.

I fell in love with the Twisted Metal series on the original PlayStation, so when I saw a next-gen version of the series on PS2, I couldn't resist. And they didn't just live up to my expectations, they blew 'em out of the water. The graphics and combat were rock solid, and the morbid, dark, twisted backstories of each character (those cutscenes!) were insane. I hate that this series seems to be dead on the vine, but you can always (and should always) go back to Twisted Metal: Black for car combat perfection.

My guest this week was the guy that broke down the OG Twisted Metal games with me a few years ago, my pal Andre. And we both agreed that this game stands up as not only the best Twisted Metal, but one of the best games in the PlayStation 2's legendary library.

And before we twist metal, I put together another edition of the Infamous Intro!

This week, someone asks straight up, what means more to me: retro gaming or modern gaming? We're covering The Last of Us for episode 300 next week, what version should you play to get ready for it? And have I ever tried to repair a console myself?

Plus we play another round of 'Play One, Remake One, Erase One', too! This one features 3 car combat games: Vigilante 8, WWE Crush Hour, and Carmageddon.

I've made the decision to start skipping one Wednesday per month for RTG. I just can't keep up the schedule of playing one game per week, so I'll start giving away a freebie early every month to give myself a little time to catch up. This week, I'm counting down what I consider to be the 10 greatest console launch titles in gaming history. A banging launch game is critical to a console's success, and I had a blast looking back at the GOATs.

If you enjoy this, we have a TON more waiting for you on Patreon (ad-free, too!). You can also write into the show, join our Discord, help choose the games we cover, and more! Subscriptions start at just $3/month at Patreon.com/RememberTheGame

I love The Simpsons. And I can look passed the flaws in their video games most of the time because of that love. But Bart vs The World is the suckiest bunch of video game suck that ever sucked.

It has the DNA of my beloved Bart vs The Space Mutants in it, with the crappy jump mechanics, awful hit boxes, and boring levels. But it adds a bunch of lame mini games that take up like 60% of your play-time, and leaves you wishing you were playing in the deepend of the sandbox with Ralph Wiggum instead.

My buddy David Rae makes his return to the show this week, and unlike most of his episodes that involve talking about great NES games, this one brought us both down as deep as Timmy O'Toole in that damned well.

And before we "vs the world", I deliver another edition of the Infamous Intro!

This week, someone hits me with a play one/remake one/erase one based on games featured on The Simpsons cartoon. What Pokemon would I want to have in real life? And what's a better name: Sega Genesis, or Sega Mega Drive?

Plus we play another round of 'Play One, Remake One, Erase One', too! This one features 3 Simpsons NES games: Krusty's Fun House, Batman Meets Radioactive Man, and Bart vs The Space Mutants.

I'm still new to the Sega Genesis universe, so every game I play is exciting because it has potential to become one of my favourites right out of the gate. And that's exactly what X-Men 2: Clone Wars did. This game is awesome.

It's a classic 16-bit beat 'em up, and you play as a bunch of the X-Men (and Magneto). What's awesome is that each character has strengths and weaknesses, and they all play differently. So not only does that open the door to a little strategy talk, but it gives you a bunch of replayability as well. And believe me, you'd be replaying this game anyway, because it's pretty damned tough.

The Cyclops to my Gambit, my buddy Chris, is my guest this week. He's a card-carrying Sega kid and he gave me a call to sing this game's praises. The graphics, the gameplay, the characters; all praise worthy. (We do crap on the camera a little bit).

And before we join the X-Men l, I put together another edition of the Infamous Intro!

This week, someone asks why 2023 was such a banner year for video games. Have we found a definitive answer for what's considered "retro"? And where do I stand on the WarioWare series?

Plus we play another round of 'Play One, Remake One, Erase One', too! This one features 3 Genesis superhero games: Separation Anxiety, Captain America and The Avengers, and The Adventures of Batman & Robin.

Viewtiful Joe took down 63 games in our 2024 Pre-March Madness tournament, and I'm so stoked that it did. It's one of the coolest games I've ever played, even if I can't finish it because I'm constantly rage-quitting.

If you've never played it, it's a side-scrolling beat em 'up, but with the extra hook of superpowers. You can slow everything down, speed everything up, and zoom the camera in while doing it. Those abilities makes the combat infinitely more fun, and you use them to solve puzzles too. Oh, and the game is tough. Really fucking tough. Normally I'd toss my controller away at some point and give up, but the addictive combat just keeps me coming back for one more try.

Viewtiful Keegs gave me a call (literally, he's on vacation so we had to do this one over the phone) to talk about what makes this game so cool. Seriously, it's really fucking cool. We also got into how we both suck at it, and then we slapped some Hall of Fame worthy scores on top to wrap everything up.

And before we get Viewtiful, I put together another edition of the Infamous Intro!

This week, someone asks if I ever watched my parents play games back in the day. Are there any niche games my brother and I grew up playing? And did I play Tiger handhelds as a kid?

Plus we play another round of 'Play One, Remake One, Erase One', too! This one features 3 Capcom Gamecube games: MegaMan X: Command Mission, Killer 7, and Resident Evil 0.

I just can't keep up the schedule of playing one game per week, so I'll start giving away a freebie early every month to give myself a little time to catch up. This week, it's my spoiler-free review of the SUPERB Sea of Stars. If you love classic RPGs, or just good video games, this is beyond a must-play. I do tack a short spoilercast on at the end, but I play music and warn you and stuff before that starts.

It's one of our world-renowned 'revisited' episodes this week, and we're taking another look at the game I consider to be the best looking, and possibly best playing, in the entire Game Boy library; The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening.

If you didn't grow up in this era, I could see how you might write Awakening off. The inventory system is a pain in the ass, it's easy to get lost, and compared to something like Link to the Past, it might seem a little basic. But for those of us that were obsessed with the SNES Zelda in the mid 90's, having a competent portable adaption like this to keep us busy on the road was mind blowing. To this day, Link's Awakening is a contender for my top 5 Zelda games.

I can't talk Zelda on this show without a McCue brother popping up, and Bradley gave me a call this week to talk about our adventures trying to wakeup a fish in a bird egg with weird self playing instruments so we don't have to dream anymore. Trust me, it'll make sense soon.

And before we Awaken, I put together another edition of the Infamous Intro!

This week, someone asks if someone will be hosting a show like this about modern games in 20 years? Would I ever consider waiving my PC bias and playing the original Fallout? And should I judge people's game rooms?

Plus we play another round of 'Play One, Remake One, Erase One', too! This one features 3 old school Zelda's: The Legend of Zelda, Zelda II: The Adventures of Link, and the Oracle games.

We all had those games we rented over & over when we were kids, and for me and my bro, Spy vs Spy was one of them. It's one of the best PvP experiences on the NES, and I'm ready to help some of you learn how to play it! (Seriously!)

It's split-screen multiplayer, where you play as the Spies of MAD Magazine fame. You run around a maze of rooms collecting items you need to win the game while planting boobytraps in an attempt to stop your opponent from doing the same. It could be pretty confusing without a manual, but I genuinely think the game has an awesome concept, and I'm ready to show it a l'il love on my l'il podcast.

I'm rolling solo this week, but I have so much nostalgia for this show that I had no problem wasting an hour of time talking into a microphone. Let me waste an hour of your time, too.

And before we blow shit up, I put together another edition of the Infamous Intro!

This week, someone asks who I'd love to have on the show if could. What ever happened to our 'Top Secret Episodes' from the early days of our Patreon?? And what are my Steam Deck recommendations??

Plus we play another round of 'Play One, Remake One, Erase One', too! This one features 3 competitive NES games: Dr. Mario, Bomberman II, and Super Dodge Ball.

JRPGs aren't my favourite flavour of hot dog, but after about 2 months of trying to get into Golden Sun, I finally forced myself to dive in and give it a playthrough. And y'know what? It's delightful!

I have a couple minor gripes, and I thought the early part of the game was slower than I am, but for the most part it was a lot of fun. The Djinn system is superb, the graphics are sexy, it sounds great. Honestly, one of the best handheld RPGs I've ever laid my eye(s) on.

My buddy Keegs swung by the show this week to talk about lifting stuff, freezing stuff, and basically just psynergying all over the place. We spoil the game, too, so be warned.

And before we psynergize, I put together another edition of the Infamous Intro!

This week, someone asks me what my stance on pre-orders is, and if I've ever been burned by one. Am I stoked for the upcoming TMNT: The Last Ronin movie?? And what game did I see in magazines as a kid, but never got a chance to play??

Plus we play another round of 'Play One, Remake One, Erase One', too! This one features 3 GBA RPGs: Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga, Final Fantasy V Advance, and some Kingdom Hearts game.

We have over 500 bonus podcasts in our Patreon archives at this point, so I like to toss a freebie on here now and then. Plus I lost my voice this week, so it's win/win. We've done a few game draft episodes now (the NES draft is available here on the RTG feed) and they always go over well, so I thought I'd toss our Super Nintendo draft up here this week. 4 regular RTG guests each draft 10 SNES games and try to build the best library possible!

Who among us hasn’t fantasized about owning an arcade cabinet or two at some point? What about an entire arcade?? This week I’m talking shop with the owner of Flynn’s Arcade in Margate, Florida.

We talked how he got started, where he gets his cabinets, how he maintains them, his favourite (and least favourite) cabinets, we got into the Billy Mitchell controversy, and so much more.

I know some of you have been asking me for more interview episodes, so I hope you enjoy this one as much as I did!

And before we chase high scores, I put together another edition of the Infamous Intro!

This week, someone asks me why/if I’m anti-RPG? I make a few WrestleMania predictions. And why don’t I have any gaming material in my comedy act??

Plus we play another round of 'Play One, Remake One, Erase One', too! This one features 3 arcade heavyweights: NBA Jam, X-Men, and Street Fighter II.

I love this movie, but this game...grrr...We're talking The Lion King this week. It's tough, frustrating to play (at times), gorgeous to look at, and a game so many 90's kids grew up with. Oh yeah, and it makes me crazy.

I love tough retro games, but this one hits different. the frustrating controls and hit & miss collision detection makes it more frustrating than fun at times. That said, when it's clicking, it's a great little game. And it genuinely might be one of the best looking and sounding 16-bit games I've ever laid my eye(s) on.

My guest this week was the guy that I yelled at during the Ecco the Dolphin episode, my buddy, Andre. I decided to fire up The Lion King while we were talking again this week, and it spilled over into an Angry Adam appearance. I hope you like swears!

And before we wait to be king, I put together another edition of the Infamous Intro!

This week, someone asks me what 5 people I would add to Smash Bros if I could. Do my goofy eyes make games harder to play? And the villains and heroes from recent games and TV shows I've been ingesting are coming to help/hurt me. How fucked am I?

Plus we play another round of 'Play One, Remake One, Erase One', too! This one features 3 Disney Genesis games: Aladdin, Quackshot, and Castle of Illusion Starring Mickey Mouse.

I'm a Star Wars newb, and one of the coolest things about it is experiencing all these great video games for the first time. I haven't played a bad Star Wars game yet, and Super Star Wars is probably a top 3 for me at this point. I love this game!

It scratches every itch I have. It's an SNES game. It's fun. It's tough as balls. It plays great. Aside form that damned Sandcrawler, I don't know if I have a single complaint! Just don't expect me to talk about the last third of the game, because I can't get that far...

My go to guest for all things Star Wars is my pal Tyler, and we had a chat about why this game is so good, despite being so tough. And we did it WHILE I was playing the game and setting a new personal best for how long I could last without dying!

And before we put go to war with the stars, I put together another edition of the Infamous Intro!

This week, someone asks me what I would do if I could make any video game, anyway I want. What games would I make harder if I could? And should Mario Kart continue to include auto-steer options in future iterations?

Plus we play another round of 'Play One, Remake One, Erase One', too! This one features 3 tough as balls SNES games: Battletoads in Battlemaniacs, The Lion King, and Super Ghouls N Ghosts.

Point and click games have never been at the top of my Christmas card list, but there's a select few I grew up playing with. Maniac Mansion was probably my go-to (even though it scared the hell out of me)!

I know I'm not the only one that was scared of it either. You control a bunch of high school kids and set out to save a kidnapped girlfriend from a creepy mansion. The game revolves around solving puzzles and utilizing each kid's unique skill set. It's incredible creative, pretty damned funny, and almost impossible for a feeble brain like mine.

My buddy Daniel grew up horsing around in mansions as well, and he gives me a call this week to talk about one of the most iconic retro PC games ever made. We had a great time laughing about how tough some of these puzzles were, and dunking on Jeff because the poor guy is as useless as I am.

And before we put stuff in microwaves, I put together another edition of the Infamous Intro!

This week, someone talks about discovering the greatness that is the GBA. A listener corners me over something I said back on RTG #157. And is PS Plus Premium worth it??

Plus we play another round of 'Play One, Remake One, Erase One', too! This one features 3 point and click classics: Sam & Max Hit The Road, Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, and The Secret of Monkey Island.

Growing up, I hardly touched Castlevania, or the Sega Genesis. But these days, I'm a fan of both. And they go together like peanut butter and chocolate with Castlevania Bloodlines, which is now one of my favourite Genesis games!

I've really grown to appreciate the Castlevania series, and for my money, these games are at their peak on 16-bit hardware. It's safe to say that Super Castlevania IV and Bloodlines are now my favourite Vania games. This one looks great, plays great, and of course, it's tough; just the way I like my retro titles.

Ye olde Bradley McCue returns to the show this week, both to talk about how much he loves this game, and to try to explain the story to me, because I'm absolutely fucking lost. Great game, killer guest, mediocre podcast. Why WOULDN'T you listen?!

And before we hunt vampires or something, I put together another edition of the Infamous Intro!

This week, someone asks for advice with some rare items in their game collection. Will we ever cover PS4/XBox One games on RTG? And with all these layoffs, is the video game market crashing??

Plus we play another round of 'Play One, Remake One, Erase One', too! This one features 3 Konami Genesis titles: Rocket Knight Adventures, Contra: Hard Corps, and Sunset Riders.

The NES had so, so many licensed games back in the day, and a lot of them sucked. Forunately, a few gems were laying among the garbage, and Tiny Toon Adventures was one of them!

It's a classic platformer, and you control Buster, Plucky, Dizzy and Furball as they set out to rescue Babs from Montana Max. It's not particularly long, but it's pretty tough (looking at YOU, World 4), and a nice change of pace from the Mario games we've all played a million times. Why the hell haven't we gotten a Tiny Toon game collection yet?!!

I'm rolling solo this week, but I take a deep dive into one of my favourite games from my childhood and walk you through every level in Tiny Toon Adventures. If you've never played it, I'll make you feel like you have. And if you HAVE played it, you probably haven't gotten past World 4, so I'll tell you what's waiting on the other side.

And before we get toony and loony (not the Canadian coins), I put together another edition of the Infamous Intro!

This week, someone brings up concerns with the amount of storage space on modern consoles. Who would be on my wrestling Mt. Rushmore? And has RTG made me a better gamer??

Plus we play another round of 'Play One, Remake One, Erase One', too! This one features 3 Tiny Toon games: Babs' Big Break, Hidden Treasure, and Buster Busts Loose.

Join Sam from the cheese-loving state of Wisconsin, USA, and Brian hailing from the great white north of Ontario, Canada, as they bring their spirited conversations to the podcasting realm. These two, who grew up on opposite sides of the Sega/Nintendo divide, embark on a thrilling journey through the gaming landscape. Together, they challenge each other to revisit and play the gems they missed in the gaming golden days.

The SNES RPG library is the stuff of legend, so it's easy for the lesser known games to slip through the cracks. Lufia II is one of those titles, and I'm here to tell you it's a game worth exploring said crack for.

I'd never played, or heard of it, before this episode, but it's like a standard Final Fantasy RPG meets The Legend of Zelda. You fight battles in classic turn-based RPG combat, but outside of that you solve puzzles and blow up walls like you would in A Link to the Past. I don't love RPGs, but this one hooked me. 

I have two guests this week. Long-time hot dog, Jnasty, sponsored this episode and got me playing Lufia II in the first place, so he swings by to explain why he's so hot for Sinistrals. And then our power hungry Discord mod, Captain N, gives me a shout to take a deep dive into feeding monsters shields whilee navigating the glitchiest dungeon to ever glitch (it'll all make sense after you listen).

And before we save the world, I put together another edition of the Infamous Intro!

This week, someone calls for an end to micro-transactions. Will I ever review Cyberpunk 2077? And is Mario 64 a horror game???

Plus we play another round of 'Play One, Remake One, Erase One', too! This one features 3 more SNES hidden gem RPGs: Secret of Evermore, Terranigma, and Breath of Fire II.

I dunno if Miyamoto was just in a bad mood or something, but The Lost Levels is probably his most sadistic creation to date. This game is like Mario Dark Souls.

And I don't know what it is about it, but I love it. I like tough platformers, I love Mario games, and this one cranks the difficulty up to about 50. It has to be the hardest (Nintendo published) Mario game ever made. And while it originally didn't make its way over here until Mario All-Stars on the SNES, the original version is available on Switch Online now. Both of them will fuck you up.

My guest this week, Bradley McCue, took one for the team and spent over a week plugging away at Lost Levels and fighting the urge to throw his controller to get ready for this podcast, and we have a pretty beefy convo about whether or not Lost Levels is good, too hard, and if it was the right call by Nintendo to not release it in North America back in the day (it was).

And before we RAGE, I put together another edition of the Infamous Intro!

This week, someone asks if it's wrong to play games on easy these days. Where do I stand on the Slay The Spire board game? And what classic series that HASN'T got the remake treatment yet do I want to see get it the most??

Plus we play another round of 'Play One, Remake One, Erase One', too! This one features 3 NES tough games: Blaster Master, Fester's Quest, and Ghosts N Goblins.

We're double dipping on Donkey Kong. Last week we talked about the OG arcade game, and this week we're talking about the hidden gem of the DK franchise: Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!

For some reason, people seem to think I hate this game, and that couldn't be further from the truth. Do I think it's the third best game in the DKC trilogy? Yes. But I'd also put that trilogy up against just about any platforming trilogy ever made. I don't hate this game at all. I just hate Kiddy Kong.

My guest this week is long-time supporter of the show, Carbon Fibre Zombie (real name, as far as I know). We spent over an hour talking about why this game struggles to shine in the shadows of its older brothers, and why it shouldn't because it's still awesome. We also sing the praises of the greatest Kong of all-time (Dixie) and dump a little on the worst Kong (Kiddy)

And before we eat bananas, I put together another edition of the Infamous Intro!

This week, someone asks if I had to choose, would I only play my favourite games of all-time, or all the other games ever made?? What the hell is going on with our Subreddit??? And where do/did I stand on POGs??

Plus we play another round of 'Play One, Remake One, Erase One', too! This one features the greatest platforming trilogy of all-time: Donkey Kong Country 1, 2, and 3.

Alright, alright, I hear ya. You want more episodes about arcade games. Your wish is my command, and this week we're talking about one of the biggest, most iconic arcade cabs of all-time. The cabinet that saved Nintendo of America and kickstarted the legendary career of Shigeru Miyamoto. We're talking Donkey Kong.

Admittedly, I've spent more time with the NES port of this game than the arcade version, but a classic is a classic. That first level with the pink construction beams, the barrels, and that Mario guy is among the most recognizable screens in gaming. To this day, I can't walk by this cabinet without dropping a little change. Who doesn't love Donkey Kong?

You know who definitely doesn't doesn't love Donkey Kong? My buddy Chris. We had a great chat about one of the most legendary video games of all-time, and looked at the sequels and stuff as well. I love this franchise, I love this game, and I like this podcast.

And before we go back to 1981, I put together another edition of the Infamous Intro!

This week, someone asks if they NEED to play the OG Final Fantasy VII before diving into Remake/Rebirth this year. Is anyone else as done with crafting in games as we are? And why do I always say "keep the bills on"? (The answer is lame).

Plus we play another round of 'Play One, Remake One, Erase One', too! This one features 3 classic Nintendo cabs: Popeye, Mario Bros, and Donkey Kong Jr.

Batman: Arkham Asylum is such an important video game. It's not just one of the greatest games ever made, but it really kicked off the modern era of superhero games, and I'd argue that it influenced the action genre as a whole. It's about damned time we showed it some love on RTG.

Arkham Asylum absolutely dominated our PS3/Xbox 360 poll in November, and I've spent a couple weeks repaying it for the first time in well over ten years. It might feel a litttttttle basic, combat wise, by today's standards, but holy balls does it hold up. Still looks great, plays awesome, and that voice acting? Forget about it.

My guest this week is the Robin to my Batman, my buddy Tyler, and we stayed up late Friday night talking about what an incredible game Arkham Asylum is, and what kind of impact it had on the industry moving forward. 

And before we visit the Batcave that was built under a prion with nobody noticing which makes absolutely no fucking sense, I put together another edition of the Infamous Intro!

This week, someone asks if I have a method to my madness as far as what console I play multi-console games on these days. Would a new Ecco the Dolphin game work in 2024? And if I could pick one game to be a launch title for Nintendo's next console, what would it be?

Plus we play another round of 'Play One, Remake One, Erase One', too! This one features 3 retro Batman games: Batman (NES), The Adventures of Batman & Robin, and Batman Forever!

We've been talking about covering Jak & Daxter for YEARS! I just needed to find time to replay it first. I finally squeezed it in, and I'm happy to say it's as fun as I remember. I love this damned game.

If you've never played, it's your classic 3D platforming collect-a-thon. But the charming characters, crisp graphics, and interactions between Jak and Daxter put it alongside Banjo Kazooie, Ratchet & Clank, and Sly Cooper as one of my favourite non-Mario platformers of all-time. I haven't been able to put it down for a week, just hit the 100% mark yesterday, and I'm ready to (finally) tell you all about why I love this game so much, and why you should, too.

Years ago, I promised my buddy Andre that I'd have him on the show if we ever talked Jak & Daxter, and the time has come. I hope this episode lives up to the hype for those of you that have been waiting forever for it, and once we're talking talking orbs, we spend a few minutes speculating about the future of the series, too.

And before we swim in eco, I put together another edition of the Infamous Intro!

This week, someone asks how I feel about emulating modern games if you already own them. Where did sports game developers go wrong? And are there any myths about Canada I want to confirm or deny?

Plus we play another round of 'Play One, Remake One, Erase One', too! This one features 3 PS2 platforming classics: Ratchet & Clank: Up Your Arsenal, Sly Cooper 2, and Ape Escape 2!

In case you didn't know, I'm a bit of a Mega Man fan. And while I love most of his games, Mega Man 9 is like one of the best slices of a phenomenal pizza. This game is so...fucking...good.

And what's really wild about MM9 is that it kinda came outta nowhere. Mega Man 8 released in the late 90's, and while we had some spin-off games, it seemed like the mainline Mega series was Mega dead. And then all of sudden Capcom announced that a new game was in the works, and it was going back to its classic 8-bit roots. I was excited, but a little skeptical. Fortunately, it turned out that they not only reached, but exceeded my expectations. Mega Man 9 is beloved by practically every Mega Man fan, and with good reason. It might just be the best game in the series.

I'm rolling solo this week. I'm excited to kick off a new year of the show, and what better way than by talking about a game I could ramble about for hours without coming up for air. Let's talk Mega Man!

And before I get Mega, I put together another edition of the Infamous Intro!

This week, someone asks what retro consoles I currently own, and which ones am I looking to pick up? Have I ever scrapped an episode of the show because I wasn't happy with it? And a listener wonders if they should scold their son for not holding "run" while playing Mario?

Plus we play another round of 'Play One, Remake One, Erase One', too! This one features 3 of the highest rated Capcom games on Metacritic: Street Fighter 4, Devil May Cry, and Resident Evil: Code Veronica!

Last year, we snuck a review of Portal in right before New Year's Eve, and I liked it so much that I swore Portal 2 would get an episode in 2023. And this game might be even better than the original was!

If you've never played the Portal games, I'm begging ya - pause this show, go play em (they're on everything) and then come back and bask in the Portaly goodness. These are probably the two best puzzle games (not named Tetris) that I've ever played. The writing is hilarious, the puzzles are clever, and the mechanics are as silky smooth as smooth ass silk. These games are practically perfect.

Pending RTG Hall of Famer Mark McCue is my guest this week, and just we did at the end of last year, we had a great time talking about the brilliance that is Portal. Or...Portal 2. Whatever. These games rules.

And before we eat up with a potato, I use put together another edition of the Infamous Intro!

This week, someone asks if I have any gaming resolutions for next year? What era of TMNT is best? And why is our Subreddit causing so much confusion??

Plus we play another round of 'Play One, Remake One, Erase One', too! This one features 3 of the best sequels ever made: Arkham City, Mass Effect 2, and Halo 2!

I've said it a thousand times and I'll keep beating the drum: video games are art. And Psychonauts is as artistic as any game I've played for this podcast.

A funky ass platformer starring a kid with psychic powers that scapes the circus and runs off to psychic power summer camp. The levels take place in the minds of the people at this camp, and you do stuff like battling Napoleon in a board game, crushing a fish city Ala Godzilla, and solving the age old question of "who is the Milkman?" 

This game came out on top of our Xbox Patreon Poll back in October, and I have to say, I'm glad it has the cult following that it does, because I'm drinking the kool-aid. Minus that last level. Fuck that level. My buddy Patrick agrees, as you'll hear when you listen in on the phone call we had about Tim Schafer's Psychonauts.

And before we find the milkman, I use my powerful brain to put together another edition of the Infamous Intro!

This week, someone asks if indie games have overtaken AAA games from a quality standpoint? Do I ever check out the speed run charity events? And since we're talking Psychonauts, what psychedelics have I played with in the past?

Plus we play another round of 'Play One, Remake One, Erase One', too! This one features 3 OG Xbox games: Jade Empire, Ninja Gaiden, and Jet Set Radio Future!

What kid DIDN'T grow up dreaming of becoming Star Wars hero, Dash Rendar? I know, I know haha. Fortunately, his game is a lot cooler than he is. We're talking Shadows of the Empire!

I only got into Star Wars about 3 years ago, and once I saw the movies, I had to start playing the games. And I'm happy to say that, six games into the library, I haven't played a "bad" Star Wars video game yet. This one is probably the closest, but I don't think it's bad. It's just an early N64 game.

This is one of our "stupid sexy sponsored" episodes, so said sponsor and long-time hot dog, PBRJax, swings by the show to explain why he's such a Dash fan. And then the Chewy to my Han Solo, my buddy Tyler, gives me a call to talk about how none of us can beat this fucking game.

And before we save the galaxy, I use the force to summon another edition of the Infamous Intro!

This week, someone asks what my favourite (and least favourite) video games shows/movies are. Should a parent let their kid beat them at video games? And when will I play Baldur's Gate 3!?!

Plus we play another round of 'Play One, Remake One, Erase One', too! This one features 3 Star Wars heavyweights: Battlefront II, KOTOR II, and Jedi Outcast!

Where the hell has this game been all my life!?!? I guess on the Game Boy Color... Whatever, Pokemon Trading Card Game is awesome!!

I'd never played the Pokemon TCG until a couple weeks ago, and I completely fell in love with it. The spiciness of this take is up for debate, but I actually think I might like the card version of Pokemon more than the RPGs. I'm almost glad I didn't play this back in the day, because I might have a big collection of cards instead of a house right now.

My buddy Keegs has been playing PTCG since the early days of the game, and he came by the show this week to talk about how fucking awesome the game is, and how rigged that damned coin is.

And before we open some packs, I rip open another edition of the Infamous Intro!

This week, we get into my hatred for Mallow. What do I play while I'm watching TV? And what's the real story behind the disappearance of the Koopa kids??

Plus we play another round of 'Play One, Remake One, Erase One', too! This one features 3 Pokemon spin-offs: Pokemon Pinball, Pokemon Conquest, and Pokemon Puzzle Challenge!

Is it worthy of being called 'Super Mario World 2'? Maybe not from a Mario perspective. But from a platforming perspective? 10000%. We're taking another look at Yoshi's Island this week!

I know some people hate on Baby Mario crying (I don't think it's THAT bad), but just about everything else this game does is spectacular. The platforming, graphics, soundtrack, level mechanics, and exploration are all top shelf, and it's actually one of the more challenging Nintendo platformers from back in the day, too.

Pending RTG Hall of Famer, Mark McCue, is my guest this week, and we're taking a second look at the the second Mario World (don't fucking call it that, though). Let's toss some eggs.

And before we eat everything, I puke up another edition of the Infamous Intro!

This week, we talk about Xbox's commitment to backwards compatibility, and if they've taken their eyes off the prize. I answer a few questions about the business side of the show. And how is Mario RPG Remake treating me?

Plus we play another round of 'Play One, Remake One, Erase One', too! This one features 3 of the SNES's best: Super Mario World, Donkey Kong Country, and Super Metroid!

We waited way too long to cover this one, but it's time to talk farts, Canada, crab people, and truthful sticks with South Park: The Stick of Truth. This might just be the funniest game ever made.

And it's not only hilarious, but it's a serviceable RPG, too! I don't think there's enough meat on the bone here to satisfy diehard JRPG fans that don't know anything about South Park, but if you have even a passing interest in the show, I think The Stick of Truth is a must-play. It's like a season of the show was turned into a video game, and it's brilliant.

My buddy Andre has been asking to come on the show to talk about The Stick of Truth for years, and the time has finally come. Call upon Paladin Butters, recruit Jimmy the Bard, and keep your eyes peeled for ManBearPig. I'm so fucking stoked for this episode!

And before we fart on each other, I deliver another edition of the Infamous Intro!

This week, we talk about the PS Plus price increase. Did Xbox fuck up by banning third-party controllers? And what is Thanksgiving like in Canada?

Plus we play another round of 'Play One, Remake One, Erase One', too! This one features 3 South Park duds: Chef's Luv Shack, South Park Rally, and South Park (N64/PS1)!

Am I racing game guy now? Not really. But these arcade crashers are winning me over, and Burnout: Revenge might just be the best one I've played so far!

No story. No cutscenes. No car upgrades. Hell, no real cars haha. Just cause crashes, make them as big as possible, and do it again. I get why everyone likes this game so much now, I don't know how you couldn't!!

Hot Dog extraordinaire ArcAngelOtaku sponsored this episode last year, and I'm so stoked to finally have a chance to ask him why this game means so much to him. And then my pal Joe gives me a call to talk about the Revenge of Burnout, and all 3 of us just end up laughing at how awesomely ridiculous this game is!

And before we crash, I deliver another edition of the Infamous Intro!

This week, someone asks what game settings I always change when starting a new game. What was my favourite cartoon growing up? And why do people hate on Resident Evil 5?? 

Plus we play another round of 'Play One, Remake One, Erase One', too! This one features 3 early 2000's racers: Gran Turismo 3, Need For Speed: Most Wanted, and Forza Motorsport!

If you grew up playing Nintendo early 90's, you watched the Super Mario Bros Super Show. Does it suck today? Eh, maybe a little. But for so many of us, Captain Lou Albano will always be our Mario. 

I was always crushed when I'd turn it on and find stupid Link and his stupid "Excuuuuuse me, Princess" face. Fortunately, most days it was Mario and Luigi hanging out in their basement apartment/shop in front of a studio audience with celebrities, and that was followed by the sweetest cartoon ever drawn. The animation sucked, but whatever.

My buddy Bradley McCue swings by the show this week, and despite the fact that we grew up watching this show in two totally different eras, we had a blast looking back on a massive part of our childhoods. Hey Pisanos! It's the Super Mario Bros. Super Show!

And before we go plumbing, I deliver another edition of the Infamous Intro!

This week, someone asks if I'd ever consider reviewing games from some of the lesser known retro consoles. What am I gonna play now that I'm done with Mario Wonder and Spider-Man 2?? And why do people like "war" games so much?

Plus we play a rare round of 'Watch One, Remake One, Erase One', too! This one features 3 classic gaming cartoons: The Legend of Zelda, Mega Man, and Captain N!

I wanted to sneak this one in last week, but I wasn't able to finish it in time, so consider this your Halloween Hangover episode. One more creepy game to wrap October up - Eternal Darkness for the Nintendo GameCube.

This might be the weirdest fucking game I've ever played. You play as a bunch of different characters from different periods throughout history, all connected by this creepy book made of skin called The Tome of Eternal Darkness. The game revolves around solving puzzles while slowly losing your mind, and some of the "insanity" effects it tosses at you are legit fucked up.

I wasn't able to finish it (I explain why on the episode), but I genuinely thought it was creative as hell. It didn't sell well back when it released and it's a bit of a collector's item now, but I think if Eternal Darkness released today, people would adore it for how far outta the box it thinks.

My pal Daniel (and his dog, Tank zzz) swing by the show this week to talk about the creative excellence that is Eternal Darkness. Did I lose my mind (no pun intended) over the glitch that ruined my chance to beat the game? Have a listen and find out.

And before we go crazy, I deliver another edition of the Infamous Intro!

This week, we get into an idea for GameStop that one listener thinks might help keep the company alive. Where the hell are the Fire Emblem reviews!?!? And what do I think of the new Blink album?

Plus we play another round of 'Play One, Remake One, Erase One', too! This one stars the 3 expensive as fuck GameCube games: Skies of Arcadia, Fire Emblem, and Chibi-Robo!

It's the Halloween season, so we gotta freaky here at RTG, and I can't think of anything scarier than The Addams Family for the NES. Seriously, this game will fuck you up.

I genuinely think the skeleton of a good game is buried in here. You control Gomez Addams and explore the family mansion looking for your missing family members. There's puzzle solving, a little bit of exploration, and some fun platforming. It's just weighed down by horrible collision detection and brutal difficulty. Even by NES standards. 

That said, I'm a sucker for 'NES tough' games, and my brother and I used to rent this one all the time when e were kids. I'm rolling solo this week and ranting about one of the toughest games I played on the NES, and I hope you like it. 

More importantly, I hope the stupid Addams Family song gets stuck in your head like it is in mine. Just awful...

And before I yell at a freezer (seriously), I deliver another edition of the Infamous Intro!

This week, someone asks which consoles has had the best exclusive lineup in this stacked year of games? Do I have any nerdy hobbies aside from gaming? And how do I keep track of all the games I've played over the years?

Plus we play another round of 'Play One, Remake One, Erase One', too! This one stars the 3 "scary" NES games: A Nightmare on Elm Street, Monster Party, and Friday the 13th.

I'm taking another bite out of the backlog this week and covering the winner of our PS2 themed Patreon poll: Devil May Cry. The camera in this game almost made ME cry, but when it was working, it was pretty fun!

I'm traditionally not a big hack and slash fan, and I played DMC 3 years ago and thought it was "meh", so I didn't know what to expect from the original game. I respect its impact on the genre, and I love seeing what was almost Resident Evil 4, but the camera and repetitive nature of the game kept me from falling in love. 

Also, Dante is a douche.

My pal Miklos swung by the show this week to talk crying devils. And despite the fact that he played this game twenty years ago and I played it last week, we had a lot of the same opinions when it came to the good and bad of Devil May Cry. This episode is an emotional rollercoaster.

And before we get trapped by a stupid fucking camera, I deliver another edition of the Infamous Intro!

This week, someone asks if I think Nintendo will start over AGAIN when it comes to retro games on their new console. Are there any "under the radar" games I'm looking forward to? And what am I gonna play first - Spider-Man 2 or Super Mario Wonder??

Plus we play another round of 'Play One, Remake One, Erase One', too! This one stars the 3 PS2 games that lost to DMC on our PS2 Patreon Poll: Tony Hawk Underground, Katamari Damacy, and Need For Speed Underground.

I'm a lifelong Mega Man fan, but I've only ever played the main series and the first 3 X games. I've always wanted to try some of the other iterations of the Blue Bomber, and finally fired one up for this week's episode. And while it controls like garage, Mega Man Legends is charming as all hell.

I was worried about Mega Man's transition over to 3D, but I actually ended up enjoying this game quite a bit. I missed my robot masters weapons, stage select, weapon weaknesses and all the MM standards, but the voice acting, music, charming locations and cool story kinda made up for it. Those fucking controls, though...

Captain N sponsored this episode about a year ago, and being the slow-ass that I am, I'm finally catching up. He swings by the show to explain why he likes Legends so much, and then I break down what I like, dislike, and fucking hate, about this weird little Mega Man game.

And before we get legendary, I deliver another edition of the Infamous Intro!

This week, someone asks if they're part of the problem after paying a pretty penny for an old, rare game. Who do I think will win the Cup this year? And is an Xbox Series X worth it, just for Starfield?

Plus we play another round of 'Play One, Remake One, Erase One', too! This one's the PSOne games that need a remake edition: Dino Crisis, Parasite Eve, and The Legend of Dragoon.

This week, I'm firing up another GBA game for the first time: Wario Land 4. And like all the others, I loved it and I'm a bigger GBA fan than I already was. What a great little system, and a great little game. 

I'm a big Wario fan, but I haven't played a ton of his games. This one is a prime example of why I need to fix that. It's not super long or super complicated, but it doesn't have to be. It looks great, plays well, sounds awesome, and it's charming as fuck. And it's Wario, so it can't possibly be bad.

My pal Bradley McCue makes his return to the show this week to talk about exploring pyramids, scooping treasure, and "hurrying up!", and recording this episode was almost as much fun as playing this game. Minus those boss fights. Fuck them.

And before we "hurry up", I deliver another edition of the Infamous Intro!

This week, someone asks me for some recommendations on games to play with their non-gaming spouse. Will we ever do another video game draft episode of Expansion Pass? And if money was no object, what kind of gaming room would I put together?

Plus we play another round of 'Play One, Remake One, Erase One', too! This one's the Wario edition: Shake It!, Master of Disguise, and WarioWorld.

This week, we're going back to the stars and talking Star Wars Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy. I'm still a Star Wars newb, but I have yet to play a game based on Luke and friends that I haven't liked. That streak continues with Jedi Academy. The story is ok, the force powers are cool, and the lightsaber mechanics are fucking insane!!

I know a lot of people are all about the multiplayer for this one, but as I'm sure you're used to by now, I only play by myself. As did one of my guests, and the stupid sexy sponsor of this episode, Vic Vinegar. So we had a nice chat about trying to kill that little shit Rosh (you know you want to) and about our favourite Force perks.

And then my pal Tyler swings by the show to talk about the zany adventures he's had online with this damned game. Let's go to school! Or the Academy. Whatever.

And before we play with our sabres, I deliver another edition of the Infamous Intro!

This week, someone asks how to alphabetize their games when it comes to titles that start with 'The'. How should people that get motion sick tickle modern video games? And what sports movies would make great sports games?

Plus we play another round of 'Play One, Remake One, Erase One', too! This one is all Star Wars: Episode I Racer, Rogue Squadron II, and Super Star Wars.

This week, we're revisiting not one, but TWO of the games we covered back in the baby days of RTG. And it isn't just 2 games, but it's technology. Revolutionary technology. LOCK ON technology. It's Sonic 3 and Sonic & Knuckles!

I was an SNES kid, but even back in the day I thought this was the coolest thing ever. I would have lost my mind if Nintendo had released something like this for Super Mario World. Here's a game for our poster child. And here's ANOTHER game for him. With a new character. That you can play as. That's even cooler than the original character. And Michael Jackson worked on the soundtrack. And fuck me, these are cool games.

My buddy Kait makes her return to the show this week to talk about 2 of Sonic's best games. I hope y'all LOCK ON to this episode and enjoy it as much as we did.

And before we go fast, I deliver another edition of the Infamous Intro!

This week, someone asks why I don't record RTG in person anymore? If I had a few minutes to go back in time and show little Adam a game from today, which one would it be? And are we gonna see more GameCube Switch ports moving forward??

Plus we play another round of 'Play One, Remake One, Erase One', too! This one is all Sonic: Sonic 2, Sonic Adventure 2, and Sonic Generations.

This week, we're crossing a Patreon Poll winner off the backlog with a PSOne classic, and a trailblazer in the survival horror genre; Silent Hill. 

I've only ever played Silent Hill 3, so I was pretty stoked to see where the franchise started. And while the graphics might not be anything to write home about in 2023, the game itself holds up pretty well! The stuff I would have liked in 1999, I liked today. And the stuff I would have hated back then still pissed me off anyway haha.

My buddy Patrick makes his return to the show this week, and we looked at the lives of Harry, a crazy cat lady, a trapped nurse and a useless cop, all topped with a massive pile of fog. It's Silent Hill, baby!

And before we go to work, I deliver another edition of the Infamous Intro!

This week, I go over the modern games I'm planning to get to between now and the end of the year. What advice would I offer a high school grad in 2023? And I like to do evil playthroughs, but what are the best games to turn bad in??

Plus we play another round of 'Play One, Remake One, Erase One', too! This one is all Silent Hill: Silent Hill 2, Silent Hill 3, and Silent Hill 4.

This week, we're going about as old as it gets here at RTG Industries, and talking about an arcade game from 1985 that was ported to pretty well everything back in the day - Paperboy! Why was it ported to everything? Because it's awesome!

I don't care that it isn't the deepest game ever. Or the best controlling. Or even beatable, frankly. I love this game. Delivering papers to your customers and destroying pretty well your non-subscribers own at the same time. And all while riding your bike and avoiding cars, knife-wielding neighbours, tornados, dogs, and the Grim Reaper. Seriously.

My buddy David Rae makes his return to the show this week, and we had a great time talking about how much more fun it is to deliver papers in video games than it is in real life.

And before we go to work, I deliver another edition of the Infamous Intro!

This week, we talk about the prices of some old games today, and whether or not they're reasonable. Someone asks what the worst part of being a content creator is? And is Sega doing Sonic dirty by releasing his new game 72 hours before Mario and Spider-Man hit store shelves??

Plus we play another round of 'Play One, Remake One, Erase One', too! This one features 3 arcade beauties: Dig Dug II, BurgerTime, and Q*Bert.
