Don’t have a cow man, I just can’t help talking about The Simpsons constantly. This episode we take a look at the first home release game: Bart vs. the Space Mutants... and what a game it is. This thing is notoriously tough, hard to control, the sound is repetitive and... I kinda like it. Let’s put on those X-RAY specs and see through the painful playthroughs of our childhood. It’s time to take another trip to Springfield, in whatever mystery state they live in.

More Simpsons talk in our timewarp back to the 90s. Butterfingers, BK kids meal toys, and even their own music CDs, everybody was doin’ the Bartman back then. We also talk about the old contests of the 90s, M and Ms, Fruity Pebbles (for some reason), and the infamous Simpsons House Contest. D’oh!

As always, I can't keep the thoughts straight and talk about a whole bunch of other nonsense too...

Metroid II: Return of Samus is a sequel that was released exclusively on the Gameboy, 5 years after the original. A direct sequel to Metroid, we see our favorite bad ass bounty hunter Samus Aran getting right back into the alien blasting action. Featuring a mazelike world in the Gameboy’s glorious green color scheme, we blast our way through Metroids, aliens, and our own sanity. Is this game worth a shot today, and how does it hold up in the Metroid series? Let’s talk space balls this week!

We talk more about the 90s and send some love over to the Gameboy’s accessories. The Gameboy Camera and her partner, the Gameboy Printer, gave us 90’s kids an early look into selfies and Snapchat filters. Plus, more movie talk, tv sitcoms, and the Gameboy games in competition for our attention that year.

As always, I can't keep the thoughts straight and talk about a whole bunch of other nonsense too...

Racing out from behind Mario Kart 64’s shadow is none other than Diddy Kong Racing, the best kart game on the N64 without Mario in the title. More courses, more vehicles, upgradeable weapons, boss fights, and on and on... So why is this game not talked about? N64 and Rareware gave us some of the best games of our childhood, and then they split up to the heartbreak of us all. So, hop on that hovercraft, let’s take a spin and see where things went wrong and where things went very right, with a breakdown of Diddy Kong Racing!

Before we get bananas, we have to talk about the 1900s. We sure were excited about space disaster movies in the 90s, and we take a side trip to talk about Space Jam. I have some fun talking about Christmas mornings and trying to pick that perfect game. I also vent about Lego and the lack of creativity when it comes to being a boring adult.

As always, I can't keep the thoughts straight and talk about a whole bunch of other nonsense too...

Holy podcast episode description, Batman! We’re talking about Batman: The Video Game for the original Nintendo. A certified NES Tough game, mixing hardcore platforming with a fun, new wall-jumping mechanic. It’s time to dance with the devil in the pale moonlight, so let’s break down this game, gadgets, and levels so tough you’ll want to turn your controller into a batarang as it soars across the living room...

Of course, we’ll discuss Batman ‘89 as we dive deep into the Batcave. We also talk about the original crime busting gangster himself, McGruff the crime dog. Who would win a fight between Batman and Inspector Gadget? What about the Dark Knight versus Samus?

As always, I can't keep the thoughts straight and talk about a whole bunch of other nonsense too...

Let’s crack this egg open. How do you follow a game like Super Mario World? Do you play it easy and just ship a new game with some new levels? Surely, any Mario game is going to sell and make the company money... But that’s where Nintendo and the people behind it differ. Nintendo likes to take chances and has a great track record of those chances working out in the best way. Yoshi’s Island stands as one of the best video games of all time and let me tell you all the reasons why...

We’ll talk about the history behind Yoshi’s Island and take a trip back to the 90s. We were spoiled as kids with some of the best movies and Saturday morning cartoons. I talk about old technology, video stores, and shine a spotlight on the Disney classic, A Goofy Movie.

As always, I can't keep the thoughts straight and talk about a whole bunch of other nonsense too...

DOOOOOOOM! A dark, scary game for a dark, scary January. Grab the BFG and let’s talk about everything that makes Doom what it is. The enemies, secrets, and the demon slaying weapons all combine to give us a Doom experience from a new perspective. Did Doom live up to the hype on the N64? What would that Doom 64 multiplayer look like? Fire up that chainsaw and get the Hell in here!

We travel along Doom’s timeline to talk about history. We discuss the OG Doom, Wolfenstein 3D, and the 2005 Doom movie. Plus, the infamous summer of “Who shot Mr. Burns?”

As always, I can't keep the thoughts straight and talk about a whole bunch of other nonsense too...

Let’s solve a mystery, let’s re-write history. Ducktales! WHOOOhOOOO! Another killer combo from the studio that brought you Mega Man. Ducktales is a game that showed a whole generation of kids what licensed games could be....actually fun. We had been burned before by crap games featuring logos of our favorite movies and shows, but no more. This duck brings it to the table with great gameplay, beautiful artwork, and a soundtrack that slaps harder than a duck pun I can’t think of right now.

What the duck was going on in the 80s? A whole bunch of nonsense, we remember the glory days of Monster Jam, the dark times of Saved by the Bell, and the confusing and arousing antics of Howard the Duck. I say the phrase “duck boobs” more than should be acceptable today.

As is required, I can't keep the thoughts straight and talk about a whole bunch of other nonsense too...

Where were you on the eve of the new millennium? 1999 was a crazy time. Tech was getting bigger and scarier, fueled by the Y2K scare and a score of great science fiction films. Plus, the console wars evolve to include Nintendo and Sony, pushing Sega and their Dreamcast into a dark corner...

And of course, I can't keep the thoughts straight and talk about a whole bunch of other nonsense too...
