Ahh arcades we love them. They hold some of the best memories in my heart and then they get ported to the home consoles. One such classic was Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2: The Arcade Game. It was one neither myself or my guest, Rob Cox, had played before....I wonder if it will be as good as Turtles in Time.
As always we have our letter section, stick it up your jinjo and survive or die. This week, we have Rocksteady and Bebop in front of the bat. Which one will live?

The World Cup is alive!!!! With football season being in full swing, I decided to go all in and tackle one of the best sports games ever, Fifa 98: Road to World Cup. I loved this as a kid, so many memories.
My guest this week is Dan Coles...who sadly...I made do this twice. I also have to say, I don't know what happened at the end but it missed our scores so I am sorry the show may end oddly.
As always we have our letter section, stick it up your jinjo and survive or die. This week, we have the Fifa and Pro Evo franchise and we ask you guys which one should be the survivor.

THAT ONE......this is the best way to describe this game. Final Fantasy 2 was first released in Japan and took a long time to hit Western shores. I finally had a good sit down with Chris Coplien and we had a good old chin wag about what is considered the most controversial out of the Final Fantasy games....and it was only the second one.
My guest this week is Chris Coplien from the Retro Hangover Podcast. You can find their links here - linktr.ee/retrohangover

What should be considered the gold standard in remakes, Resident Evil 1 for the Nintendo Gamecube made what was once a joke of a game, a legendary one. I never played the original because it looked so silly but this game changed all that. I went deep into the guest pool this week and brought out my brother, Phil, to join me on this adventure.
It is his first time doing a podcast so be nice.
