Podcast: Play in new window | Download

SimCity 2000, you know, about THE YEARRRRR TWOOOOO THOUSSAAAANNNNNDDDDD. Right? Okay, good enough. We did Sim City many many years ago so it’s only fair we give the SNES sequel a go like a decade or so afterward. In this episode we try out some special Easter candy in the form of Asian exclusive oreo flavors, a new offering from Little Debbie, and some flavored Peeps. We have that going for us, which is nice. We also do a deep a dive as possible into the SNES port of an amazing and robust PC game. It can only be amazing scaled to match the SNES, right? RIGHT?!

D-Force forces its D directly onto our show, courtesy of The Randomizer. We are blessed by the presence of Bubba Drewski to help us talk about different kinds of sugar, what Larry David is doing, discuss Ian’s journey into The Dresden Files, Tyler’s journey into He Who Fights With Monsters, Dave’s journey in Project Hail Mary, and how busted some of the Final Fantasy mini games are. We try plenty of foods from Jungle Jim’s and even find some time to talk more deeply about this game that maybe anyone else ever has. So won’t you come sit awhile and listen to some D-Force?

Bonkers! Totally nuts. Let’s get this out of the way—yes, Tyler sounds terrible. Embrace the terrible. He is out of town for work and is doing his best. So, beyond 1/4 of the show having bad audio, Bubba Drewski joins us to discuss both the cartoon and the show this week. We talk about TikTok cats, FFXIV, something about pants, and the difficulty of job interviews and more. So if you liked Bonkers, or even happen to be familiar with these game – won’t you sit awhile and listen?

Ep. 858 – Aero Fighters (SNES)

Podcast: Play in new window | Download

Aero Fighters, you know—Aeros. And they are fighting. Did you guess this would be an intense cinematic platformer detailing a surface-dwelling human’s adventure trying to make his way through a cloud kingdom he woke up in? If so, you didn’t look at the game cover. It’s a top-down shooter. But I give you points for creativity. And someone should make that game. Or not, Tyler hates the genre. BUT AERO FIGHTERS! We visited quite a few movies this week, with some books and TV mixed in. Lots of zombie game talk for some reason, but we also do a solid dive into this game. So won’t you end this meandering episode introduction and just stay awhile and listen?
