And this week we're going back to the year 2000 and looking at WWF SmackDown! 2: Know Your Role for the PSOne.Like so many of you, I played this one back int he day and loved it. The season mode, Hell In A Cell, backstage fights, it was insane. How has it aged 26 years later? Ehhh....The Mankind to my Rock, my buddy Andre, is my guest this week. We went over the highs and lows of the SmackDown sequel and talked about how it's aged while sharing memories of grinding through that season mode back in the day.And before we lay the smack down, I put together another edition of the Infamous Intro!This week someone asks if I've ever considered making a RTG video game?? Are old wrestling games worth picking up these days?? And what accessories are must grabs for new Switch 2 owners??Plus we play another round of 'Play One, Remake One, Erase One', too! This one features 3 PSOne era wrestlers: WCW Mayhem, ECW Hardcore Revolution, and WWF Attitude.

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.

Duration: 1:39:31
There aren't many games I've been hounded to review on RTG more than Resident Evil Remake, so on a recent flight I decided to fire it up on my Switch and see what all the hype is about. I couldn't put it down and now I g…

Duration: 1:36:57
I've turned into a pretty big Resident Evil fan since starting RTG, but the third game has never tickled my pickle. Nemesis is awesome, but the gameplay gets under my skin and just sets 3 up to be the weakest of the tril…

Duration: 2:12:48
I like to save big games for every 50th episode, and they don't come much bigger than Grand Theft Auto V. I FINALY played this one for the first time and damned if it isn't the most impressive video game I've ever played…

Duration: 1:54:31

Remember The Game? #347 - ToeJam & Earl in Panic on Funkotron [not-audio_url] [/not-audio_url]

Duration: 1:36:54
ToeJam & Earl is one of my favourite Genesis games. I've had many people tell me that the sequel is a completely different game from the first, but that didn't stop me from wanting to give it a shot.
