SNK vs Capcom Card Fighters' Clash could possibly be one of the best games I have played this year. I am so happy I got to play this game as I love a good card game. This was SNK's game they had whilst playing with the Capcom licence. Everyone was shocked they decided to make a card game first but who carers...this is amazing.
This week, I am joined by Chris Coplien from the Retro Hangover podcast.

Grab your sword and shield, we are off on an adventure once more in Dragon Quest III. I love this game and have a silly amount of versions of this. Odd that I only started playing it two years ago. I have played the NES, SNES and soon to be 2D-HD remake. This week, I am joined by Storm Beagle from the Retrotopia podcast.

Time to hit the Street and play the game that destroyed the Final Fight franchise, Streetwise. This PlayStation 2....game...was a huge slug fest to finish and gets swept up by the whole GTA3 fad, as it doesn't know what it wants to be. This week, I am joined by Richard Jago from the Buffy and Angel podcast, The Watcher's Rewatch. Will we enjoy this game...probably not!

Alex Kidd again....but this time I liked it. Yes, who would of thought. Alex Kidd in Shinobi World is a parody version of Sega's Shinobi and it was great fun. I am joined once again by Dave McG to see by change of heart in the flesh.

This is one of those games where I hated playing it from the start to the finish. Captain Planet. I don't know where to begin. I played this on the Mega Drive and me and Raging Demon had....an experience with this.

I am bringing Captain N back on again for another episode. This week, we are looking at DragonBall Z - Legacy of Goku for the GBA. A sorry title that bored me to tears....yes, I do not like this game. Have a listen and you will agree with me too!

We are looking for the Golden Apple. Welcome for the first Professor Layton game for the Nintendo DS, The Curious Village. This magical puzzle adventure has a charming story with beautiful artwork. However, it is extremely tricky with some very engaging puzzles. Trying to solve the mystery with me is Captain N from the Retrotopia podcast.
