Ep. 812 – Space Megaforce

Space Megaforce, courtesy of The Randomizer, FORCES it’s way into TADPOG. Get it? We certainly did. This game turns out to be quite the surprise in more ways than one. But before we jump into the review – we talk about Hilary Swank, a Danny Devito movie, Suikoden, Vampire Survivors, FFXIV, and quite a jump into the long lost Ani-may I? segment. We double draft how well we may fight a few musicians and where we rank the fearsomeness of the most notorious serial killers and more. So please, won’t you FORCE yourself to sit and listen to some Space Megaforce, for us? As a treat?

Ep. 806 – Phalanx

Phalanx strums the old banjo into the halls of TADPOG. Have you heard of Phalanx? Maybe not. Are you millenial? Then you’ll probably recognize the iconic and weird box art. That probably bodes well for us, right? Such well known art for a game that no one really recalls what kind of game it was, yes? ANYWAY, we bring on our foremast old man with banjologist – Captain Gun Nerd Jon Turley. We talk about jug bands, box art, visit Ian’s Horror Hole, discuss some books, some Game of Thrones and have some bar related drafts. So if you’ve ever been curious about the game with the weird box art, come sit awhile and listen!

Ep. 787 – Soldiers of Fortune

Soldiers of Fortune, aka THE CHAOS ENGINE, hits the shores of TADPOG. Hey, this is an important day! On this, the day of recording, it is our very own Dave’s birthday. So we have to celebrate in style with trying a soda, giving him a gift, talking about RPGs and some TV shows then doing a deep dive into this maybe hidden gem of a game that only Tyler had heard of in a magazine when he was kid. So come please, come sit awhile and listen to us break down this down along with a few anime. HAPPY BIRTHDAY, DAVE!

Ep. 761 – Muppet Adventure: Chaos at the Carnival

Muppet Adventure: Chaos at the Carnival connects its rainbow to TADPOG. Remember that Muppet draft we didn’t have time to get to on our last all drafts episode? Well, we just decided to go in “whole hog” (Wokka Wokka) and not only do a Muppet (well, anything Jim Henson) draft but we did the only applicable Muppet video game Tyler could find in a 2 minute Google search, this little gem for the NES. So please, come listen to a menagerie of Jim Henson creation content this week with Muppet Adventure: Chaos at the Carnival!

Ep. 759 – Jurassic Park (SNES)

Jurassic Park finally dino DNA’s it’s way onto TADPOG shores. Sure, we have done Jurassic Park on the Genesis and The Chaos Continues AND The Lost World but somehow we completed missed the SNES version of the original Jurassic Park. Is it cool and shadowy like the Genesis? Can you play as the Raptor? STAY TUNED AND FIND OUT! (No, you can’t. It’s very very different). We also talk a lot of about the movie and what it meant to us as kids. We also do a deep dive into some random facts that are pretty interesting. So if you like all that sort of stuff, please sit awhile and listen!

Ep. 723 – HyperZone

HyperZone! Does that sound like a SNES game, a cheap 3rd party peripheral, or maybe a candy game at Chuck E. Cheese? Well, the one we are talking about is an SNES that is a totally new one on us. There is some Six Flags talk, some multiplayer game talk, and even a draft. There are some strong opinions about this strange, but in some ways not so strange, little game. But what are your favorite cartoons? Anyway, sit awhile and listen to some HyperZone talk, please!

Ep. 697 – Vortex

Vortex! Does it sound cool? Sorta! (In a 90s way) Was it fun? Define fun! Did it have an interesting history? Absolutely! The Randomizer dealt us an odd one with week with Vortex, a game none of us had heard of or seen. It was interesting and certainly has a place in the history of video games, along with it’s creator. So in addition to all things Vortex, we talk about Uno, Mario Party, and lots of anime – of course, there is also a draft! So please, come sit awhile and listen to Vortex.

Ep. 688 – GunForce

GunForce?! MORE LIKE FUNFORCE (trademark of Dave Moore) AMIRITE?!?!?! I would highly advise you listen and find out for certain, I mean look at that box art! And everyone has heard all about this SNES port of the GunForce arcade! We also talk about Halloween, the latest edition of “Ian’s Horror Hole” (Not trademarked, public domain), some anime recommendations, some Seinfeld references, and a very special quiz by one Mr. Puzzles Dane. Please sit awhile and listen.
