That’s one big Salamander!

Show Notes

On this week’s podcast, Dan and Kris bring you the latest installment in the Alphabet Soup-er Series, where they discuss games once a month in alphabetical order. It was Dan’s pick for the letter L and he went with Life Force for NES, a game that’s anything but an L. Konami once again showed off their prowess on the NES with this wonderfully brilliant (and very difficult) scrolling shooter, complete with sounds and effects ripped straight out of Contra. How did this NES port hold up to its arcade-based big brothers? Let's Find out!

At the top of the show, Dan complains that Sony has ruined The Show in its latest update, and discusses the difficulties in dealing with Thanos in Marvel Snap. Meanwhile, Kris tests out Princess Peach Showtime with a number of different audiences, all of whom have different opinions on the game, makes big plans to finally finish off Contra:Operation Galuga, and spends more quality time with his Atari VCS with games Milli & Greg, Cash Cow DX, and more.

In Week Old News, Tekken flirts with Waffle House, ex-PlayStation boss rips some numbers out of his butt, the Nuon gets a fresh re-release, Dadish goes 3D, and what is that I see? Is that EVEN MORE? Why yes, it is! Check it out!
