And this one introduces the legend him(her?)self: Beat the bird!!The Dr. Light to my Dr. Wily, Dan from Dissect That Film returns to this week to talk Mega Manning. We both agree that this might not be the strongest entry in the series, but it doesn't mean we don't love it. Dan's fav robot master is in this one, Beat's hanging around, and we get what might be the best story in NES Mega Man history. And before we investigate Proto Man, I put together another edition of the Infamous Intro!This week someone asks me if I think most gaming could end up on mobile devices via cloud streaming at some point? What are some of the top games laying around in my backlog? And if I could develop a video game, what would I make??Plus we play another round of 'Play One, Remake One, Erase One', too! This one features 3 "5th games": Elder Scrolls V, Resident Evil 5, and Final Fantasy V.

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…
Remember The Game? #351 - Resident Evil 3: Nemesis [not-audio_url] [/not-audio_url]

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…
Remember The Game? #350 - Grand Theft Auto V [not-audio_url] [/not-audio_url]

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…
Remember The Game? #349 - Fire Emblem: The Blazing Blade [not-audio_url] [/not-audio_url]

Duration: 1:43:58

Remember The Game? #348 - Final Fantasy IV (Part II) [not-audio_url] [/not-audio_url]

Duration: 1:54:31
While I'm a picky eater when it comes to JRPGs, I'll never forget my first - Final Fantasy IV (FF2 on the SNES). I recently played the Pixel Remaster version for the first time, so I wanted to give Cecil and friends anot…
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.

Duration: 1:01:00
It's a bye week here at RTG, but to make sure you get your fix of my store-bought haircut and excellent posture, I'm raiding our Patreon archives this week and tossing my Simpsons video game ranking podcast up on the fre…
