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.

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.

Sonic is back for a Nintendo console, this time it is Sonic Rush for the DS. Sonic had a mini revival on the GBA games but can this translate over to the DS. This week I am joined by first timer Master ShadicTH who helps discuss his love for this game.

Join me on a magic carpet ride as we tackle a two part episode covering both versions of Disney's Aladdin. First up is the Super Nintendo released by Capcom. This week, I am joined by Sick Jake from the Press B to cancel podcast. Will the Super Nintendo be the diamond in the rough or should be forgotten completely.
