The GameBoy Advance is turning 25 later this year and we wanted to revisit Nintendo's iconic portable gaming successor to talk about its biggest games and hidden gems. The original GameBoy had one of the longest lifespans of any console and helped Nintendo dominate portable gaming for multiple generations. The GBA finally released 12 years after its predecessor and was an instant hit thanks to its strong game library and because it was essentially a portable SNES with even more 3D capabilities. I take you through its inception in the mid-90s as "Project Atlantis" and it's much-anticipated launch before Deucy and I revisit the GBA's most significant games and some of our favorite hidden gems.

Join us in two weeks with our new episode covering Resident Evil 4!

This week's episode is a listener request! DilutedThought on Instagram sent a message and shared his Top 10 First-Person Shooters EVER and asked that we do an entire episode talking about Our Top 10 First Person-Shooters. FPS games have been among the most-played and top-selling genres over the last 30 years and this list was insanely difficult with such a broad topic. We, of course, have a lengthy list of games we have as honorable mentions that we had to talk through before we get to our individual Top 10's. Let us know what we missed or what is on YOUR list by emailing us or finding us on Instagram. Feel free to also email us with episode ideas or things you might want to hear from us!

It might be shocking to hear, but Sonic the Hedgehog was released 35 years ago this year! The iconic blue blur's debut did the impossible when it pushed Sega to unbelievable heights and toppled Nintendo as the console market leader in the early 90's. I'll take you through where Sega and Nintendo were between the Genesis' 1989 launch and Sonic's Summer 1991 release. We're covering the development and history of the original trilogy (& Knuckles) and Sonic CD so check it out and let us know what you think!

Deucy and I are going back to the future this week when we revisit gaming in 1995! Sega and Nintendo are locked in a heated console war as the 8-bit NES fades away and both 32-bit consoles, the Saturn and Playstation, are on the horizon. We thought we'd take a retrospective look at some of the big games that released in 1995 and a deeper examination of the generational transition to 3D gaming. Fighting games were everywhere and we talk about how Mortal Kombat 3 was one of the most anticipated sequels ever and how it was everywhere (almost literally). The Virtual Boy, Donkey Kong Country 2, home ports of DOOM, Comix Zone, Chrono Trigger, and many, many other iconic games all released in an already packed year.

Terminator 2D: No Fate released recently and it's really incredible. I wanted to give my impressions and I invited Vito, the 8BitBarrister, to join me as we talk through many of the 8 and 16-bit Terminator games that came out in the 90's. We quickly revisit the first two iconic movies and have a loose discussion on some of the games that were released on the NES, SNES, Genesis and Sega CD. No Fate actually takes some of the failed ideas from those games and reimagined them in a way we could've only dreamed of in 1992. Bare with us with any audio quality issues, we tried a different recording setup with this episode. We were going to release a 1995 Year in Review (coming at a later date), but Deucy got sick and Vito was awesome enough to step in last minute to talk about The Terminator.

It's already that time of the year again! We've invited our good friend Vito to talk about our favorites games that we played in 2025. We thought 2023 was a significant year for releases and it seemed as though there was a great new game coming out almost every week this year. Absolum, Hades II, Ghost of Yotei, Kingdom Come Deliverance 2, Donkey Kong Bananza, Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 were among the insane slate of incredible games we got to experience this year. We also share our disappointments for the year, and of course, honorable mentions before we get to our individual Top 10. Don't forget to tell us what YOUR favorite games you played this year by emailing us or finding us on Instagram!

This week we're taking on the wild world of sports and counting down our Top 10 Sports Games ever! We've each put together a list of our favorites and revisit what made each game so good. Our lists are pretty varied since I don't watch sports but it makes this episode perfect for the non-sports or sports-loving gamer. Let us know what your favorites are at LegionGamingPod@gmail.com or find us in Instagram @LegionGamingPodcast

This week's episode is a chronology of our favorite console launch games. You only get one chance to make a first impression and a launch lineup can sometimes make or break a system's chances at success. The initial offering of games have the heavy task of appealing to a wider audience in an attempt to be THE reason you're picking up an expensive new console. Deucy and I put together some of our favorite hits and misses from everything from the Atari 2600 to PS5. It's a looser discussion, but it's also an interesting examination of how console makers would respond to the constantly shifting game industry to have the biggest launch ever.
