About this listen

Comedian Adam Blank hosts "Remember The Game?", a retro gaming podcast. Each week, Adam and his guest will select a video game that they grew up playing, and spend time reminiscing about what they loved (or hated) about it. Not intended to be a history lesson, "Remember The Game?" is more like a conversation you'd overhear on the playground as a kid. The discussions are all over the place, and are guaranteed to fill you with that warm, nostalgic feeling. (Or rage, like you felt with the underwater level in the original Ninja Turtles game). Either way, it's gonna be fun! New episodes every Wednesday!

    Assassin's Creed is probably the series we haven't touched yet that I get the most requests for. I played half of the first game back in the day, checked out and never came back. So I fired the OG up last week and played most of it, and while I can't call myself a super fan or anything, I'm intrigued to see what comes next with the series.

    The concept itself is rock solid, and there's some really fun mechanics here. The problem is you use them to do the same 5 things over and over again. I like the idea but I need a bone with some more meat on it.

    My buddy Andre is my guest this week. He's an Assassin's Creed junkie and I think he made it his mission to make sure I played more of these games down the road. Let's unpack Assassin's Creed's rookie year.

    And before Ass Creed, I put together another edition of the Infamous Intro!

    This week someone asks if/how I think DS games will ever start showing up on the Switch 2? Are there any games I like ti play just for the world itself? And does the Xbox 360 belong in the "best console library" conversation??

    Plus we play another round of 'Play One, Remake One, Erase One', too! This one features Ubisoft games: Splinter Cell, Fr Cry 3, and Watch Dogs.

    I've made it a goal to cover as many Mega Man games as I can on this podcast before I inevitably get cancelled, and we're crossing another off the list this week with the much-praised Mega Man X4. Many have told me this is in their top 2 X games alongside the original, and now that I've played it for myself, I get it.

    The original trilogy of Mega Man X games on the SNES range from perfection to meh (in my books), so I was curious to see how the series would go once it left the 16-bit era. And while X4 definitely shares some DNA with the very subpar Mega Man 8, it brings the heat in practically every way and is anything but subpar. AND it's 2 games in one, because you can play as X AND Zero!

    The Dr. Light to my Dr. Wily, Dan from Dissect That Film returns to this week to talk more Maverick hunting. We went longer than I expected us to with this one, but when you're talking mega Man there's never enough. With 2 playthroughs to break down, plus rambling about the series as a whole and those legendary cutscenes, we had a ton to get to.

    And before we X, I put together another edition of the Infamous Intro!

    This week someone asks for breakup advice in video game context and I try my best. What are the top NES hidden gems I'd recommend people check out?? And why don't I play all series in chronological order??

    Plus we play another round of 'Play One, Remake One, Erase One', too! This one features 3 Mega Man games: Mega Man & Bass, Mega Man Zero, and Mega Man ZX.

    It's been over 200(!) episodes since ww talked Mario Kart, and that just won't do. So this week we're going back to 2001, the flat faced, non-backlit GBA, and the pretty damned good Mario Kart: Super Circuit.

    I didn't play this one a lot back in the day, but going through it 25 years after launch, I was pretty impressed. It feels like a hybrid of Super Mario Kart and Mario Kart 64, and for the first ever portable Kart, it's pretty damned solid. Hiding the Super Mario Kart tracks as extra content turned me on a little, too.

    The Luigi to my (or Mark's) Mark, ye olde Bradley McCue, joins me on the show this week. We had a great time talking Super Circuit and the Mario Kart series as a whole, and I can guarantee y'all is won't be FOUR YEARS before we talk more kart racing!

    And before we race, I put together another edition of the Infamous Intro!

    This week someone asks what my most anticipated games of 2026 are, I explain what (and briefly answer) the most frequently asked questions I get are, and we talk about the leaps in game tech that blew our minds the most.

    Plus we play another round of 'Play One, Remake One, Erase One'!! This one features 3 Mario Karts: Super Mario Kart, Double Dash, and Mario Kart 64.
