Super Mario 64, one of the biggest games of our generation. It brought us kicking and screaming into the 3D with one little plumber. Super Mario 64 has a huge fan base behind it and I hope this episode can do it justice. This week, I am joined by debutant, Tion, where we talk all sorts from Yoshi to speedrunning.

It is time for the final fight.....in chibi form. Yes, we are talking Mighty Final Fight for the NES. A game I never knew existed because it came so late in the NES' life. It is a demake if you will of the original final fight with a chibi art style and I won't lie, I love this game. Joining me this week, is Captain N from the Retrotopia podcast.

Won't someone think of the children, well today we did as look at our first look in the Final Fantasy chronicles series with Ring of Fates. You focus on a brother and sister duo as they try to save the world...as always. I have my own partner this week with Storm Beagle from the Retrotopia podcast as we battle through this mess.

Still one of the weirdest names for the video game, it is Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles III - The Manhattan Project on the NES. I had never played this prior to this podcast and this saddens me because it is a great game. The turtles are on the quest to save Manhattan from being lifted from the ground...yes it is odd. This week I am joined by Blaine the Hoagie man from the Retro Ryders podcast.

Ristar the Sonic killer, well that was what he was called at the time. Surprisingly this game was only released on the mega drive and game gear with no other sequels. Made by the Sonic Team, this was a very different game where one little star needs to go out to save his father....by headbutting his enemies. This week, I am joined by Matt aka Stormaggedon

It is time for more Pokémon. I cannot get enough of this series. This time we are talking about the Pokémon trading card game. I played this to death when I was a kid and now that it is on the NSO, it gave me the perfect excuse to play it all over again. This week I am joined by the great Jake Macauley, my brother from another mother. Will we obtain the legendary cards???

We have reached episode 200!! I cannot believe we have got this far. To celebrate this, we are doing one of, if not, the best game of all time, The Legend of Zelda - Ocarina of Time for the N64. This is long episode...I think our longest by a mile. I am joined by good friend Richard Jago, the host of the Watchers Rewatchers podcast. Grab your Master sword and your ocarina...and let's dive in.
