Retro Console Games: NBA Live '96

This week's episode is dedicated to the memory of Ken Best, who passed away in March of 2025. In addition to teaching his son Richard how to play basketball in real life, he also took the time to sit down and play games like this one with his son (whom he always tried to defeat!). What games did you play with your fathers? Did they introduce you to sports? Did they kick your ass in NBA Jam (or perhaps let you kick theirs?). :et us know in the comments. Sources: https://youtu.be/AYfoToYVoQ0?si=x1Gn_VPBRaWHlrlmhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NBA_Live_96https://archive.org/details/nextgen-issue-014/page/n135/mode/2upLove the podcast?

4 Years, Baby! (Part 1)

In part one of our two part celebration, we return to the very first nerdy creation Richard reviewed for the podcast, Batman: The Animated Series (1992-1995). This was Laura's first time ever watching an episode, so Will and Richard decided "Heart of Ice" (first aired 9-7-92) would be an excellent choice. Listen to find out if Laura liked it, and to learn whether Chicken Noodle Soup is a dish best served cold.....Love the podcast? Want to join the community?

Retro Console Games: Philips CD-I Zelda Titles

Once upon a time, in an age known as the 90s, three bastard children resulted from a brief alliance between the nations of Nintendo and Phillips. These children, so named "Zelda: The Faces of Evil," "Zelda: The Wand of Gamelon," and the runt of the lot, "Zelda's Adventure," went on to live in infamy in the minds of those who loved Zelda and Link. What did these children do that was so horrible? Did they survive the Great War for the land of console? Well, my friends, you must listen to our tale to learn the truth.....Sources for this episode include, but are not limited to: - Wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CD-i) - the Game Sack Youtube channel (https://youtu.be/wkgCJCBis8Msi=czqu3jNqZu48uGBv) - The Nintendo Complete channel on Youtube (https://youtu.be/M52zKfu-cHk?si=oQLnwRyzphUXNHYS, https://youtu.be/IqFZ1iVmhIo?si=U70u8ulr7njczShW) Love the podcast?
