Contra......oh yes...some of the hardest games around. I have barely stractched the surface before but now I have had my first real go of one and I enjoyed it. Contra 3 - The Alien Wars.
Battling alongside me this week, is Shane Koski from the Retro Hangover podcast. I believe his skills will help me over the line.

Jump into your pods, the fastest racers from the galaxy are fighting it out to be number one. Star Wars Racer came following the release of Star Wars Episode 1 - The Phantom Menace, and although I didn't own a copy of this, I definitely played it. This week, I am joined again by my cousin Stefan where we try to work out if this game was a Mario Kart challenger or just a false chosen one.

Yoshi...the loveable..to some...green dinosaur thing. He has become a staple in the Mario universe, ever since his first appearance in Super Mario World. He has since gone to have his own games and Yoshi's story was the first one I played.
Myself and Lyndsey Norris are replaying it on the Nintendo Switch and wondering what type of game even is it?

3D games were all the range at one point. Everyone had to do it. With Tekken and Virtual Fighter, other franchises were on the backfoot. Midway, wanted to jump in on the action and out came, Mortal Kombat 4......ewwwww.
My guest is newcomer to the show, David Pietrangelo from the Remember 64 podcast. I hope he enjoyed it more than me.

When Street Fighter was starting dominating the fighting world, another game sought to take the mantle, Fatal Fury. Whilst the first game only had 3 playable characters, today's game, Fatal Fury 2, went full Street Fighter 2 rip off, but was it any good?
I am joined by the Kommand List's Raging Demon to duke it out in the ring.

The grandfather of RPGs, the one that started it all, Dragon Quest..or Dragon Warrior. I had never played this before so I believe it was time I go back and learn some history.
Joining me in my quest through history is Chris Coplien from the Retro Hangover podcast. He has been allowed by on after the Bouncer mess.

I love Final Fantasy 7...I love fighting games....add them together and surely it should be a hit. Ehrgeiz: God Bless the Ring. A game that has another game inside it...strange I know.

Gear up and it is time to head to war with Worms. I consider this one of the first multiplayer games ever. I played this for hours with my brother and we had so many fights. Today, I get my buddy Rob Cox and head into battle.
