There are sometimes games which provide players with horrific memoires. Games which haunt your dreams. Games which you will never want to touch again. Well, I present exhibit Lion King. This game gives me nightmares even now. A lot of people will be dreading even listening to this and I am so sorry from the top.
To tackle this nightmare with me, I am joined by Dan Coles who you can find here https://twitter.com/vanColestelrooy

With Nintendo dropping the GBA games on the switch, one of those was Minish Cap. I had recorded this weeks ago with Jarrod but with the direct....well we just moved it up.
With it being Zelda themed, survive or die will be putting Midna and Ezlo on the chopping block.

Ahh Pokémon Gold and Silver, you taught me so much. You were one of the last games that brought me so much wonder and joy. A follow up from one of the successful debuts ever in Red and Blue. I have played this game so much it is silly.
This is an old episode from my first podcast, The Pokeball, where I was joined by my good friend, Jake Mcauley, and boy did we have a great time with this one.

It is the one year episode!!! Myself and Chris Coplien from the Retro Hangover podcast are covering the Bouncer for the PlayStation 2. This was not a fun time which is weird because I should be covering something fun for the one year. Enjoy me just getting upset.

The little dragon that could, Spyro the Dragon for the PlayStation. I never played this one but my guest Anthony from 8StringFury gaming is a bit fan. I did jump into the little dragon's world and gave it my best go. I headbutted and fireballed my way to victory, but did I actually enjoy the game?

It is ninja time and it is a gem. Revenge of Shinobi for the Mega Drive. This was one of the first games I ever played as a kid on my little Mega Drive. I never finished it though as it had some horrible jumps in it. This week, I am joined by friend of the show, CPC, The Christian Pokemon Champion, and the two of us are off to save our girlfriend from Neo-Zeed.
