Patreon.com/RememberTheGame It's pretty well known that I'm a diehard Mega Man fan. But it took me over 20 years to finally play my first Battle Network title. I'm not sure I loved this game, but I'm a pretty big fan of what the franchise is trying to do. If you've never played it, it's a tactical RPG spin on classic Mega Man. You play as a grade 5 student trying to save the world from computer viruses (and Dr. Wily of course), and you do it with your MegaMan.EXE program. The game is split between over world traversal and tactical combat, and while navigating the game's maps drove me crazy, the combat system really peaked my interest. I'll play more of these games at some point, no doubt about it. Long-time hot dog and power mad Discord mod, Keegs, is my guest this week. We both agreed that there's a great concept for a Mega Man game here, even if the execution is a little flawed. I think you can say the same about the first mainline Mega Man game, and that ended up working out ok... And before we jack-in, I put together another edition of the Infamous Intro! This week, someone asks if I've ever played the Mega Man ZX games? Does anyone else regularly fall asleep while gaming?? And what if Link to the Past had been on the NES?? Plus we play another round of 'Play One, Remake One, Erase One', too! This one features 3 of Metacritics highest scored GBA RPGs: Golden Sun, Tactics Ogre, and Fire Emblem.

Comedian Adam Blank invites you to pull up a chair for Remember The Game? Retro Gaming Podcast. This isn't a dry recap of release dates or technical specs. Instead, each episode feels like cracking open a time capsule with a friend. Adam and a guest choose one title from their past-a cartridge they rented a dozen times or a disc that defined a summer-and just talk about it. The conversation meanders through personal memories, the sheer joy of discovering a hidden level, the frustration of a cheap boss fight, and the unmistakable music that’s still stuck in their heads decades later. You’ll hear the laughter and camaraderie that comes from shared, albeit sometimes very specific, experiences. The goal of this podcast is to capture that specific feeling of being a kid again, trading secrets by the lockers or arguing about which game was truly the best. It’s less about critique and more about connection, built on a foundation of pixels and nostalgia. Tune in for a warmly familiar, often hilarious chat that celebrates the games that shaped us, one deeply personal and wonderfully digressive story at a time.
