It's rarely a good thing when you see an update episode from your favorite creator, and today we have to join that list. As we take this break from the show we'd like to thank everyone who supported us during this year and a half. We didn't expect the show to gain this much attention, and we can't wait to reboot it and make it even better than before! We'll see you all soon!
It's no secret that licensed games were a mixed bag during the PS1 generation. You might get lucky and find some hidden gems but more often than not you got a shameless cash grab. Courtesy of the wheel, this week we’re taking a look at Rocket Power: Team Rocket Rescue. Attempting to pull from the popularity of extreme sports at the time, is this one worth a second look?
In today’s gaming landscape, From Software is one of the most respected developers. From Elden Ring to Armored Core and more the company can seem to do no wrong these days. Today we’re going to go back to the beginning and take a look at their very first game, King's Field.
A game based on a movie based on a game, just that statement alone is ridiculous. Street Fighter: The Movie might be the only one of these to exist. Join us as we not only take a look at the game based on the movie, but the movie based on the game.
If you’re watching or listening to our show then you likely already know Doom, the game that popularized the FPS genre in the early 90s. Doom has been ported to about every platform imaginable, down to things as ridiculous as printers and calculators. What does the PS1 port do to separate itself from the dozens of other ports of the classic game?
When you hear a game has been ported to the PS1 from the Gameboy Advanced, it’s hard to imagine it turned out well. Today we’re looking at the only game to do so, Pinobee. A 2D platformer from the designer of Sonic the Hedgehog should be a slam dunk, but what do the game's GBA roots mean for the PS1 port?
For our second Star Wars game on the show we're taking a look at Jedi Power Battles, a beat 'em up that was remastered not too long ago. A Star Wars game in this style should be a no brainer, is this one worth checking out? We're joined by Star Wars lore master Ryan of 156/Silence this week to help us figure it out!
Omega Boost is a rail shooter from the developers of Gran Turismo, their only non racing game. We were very excited to see what could’ve been from a studio that has been focused on one genre for over 20 years. Let’s find out if they should branch out more or just stick to racing!
Wrestling games have been around as long as gaming itself and the PS1 has dozens in its library. WWF Attitude is the last wrestling game made by Acclaim, do they go out with a whimper or a bang?
FMV games are a relic of the 90s, you either love 'em or hate 'em. While the genre has made a comeback in recent years, only a few were released for the PS1. Does Brain Dead 13 break the mold, or would it be better as a movie like so many others in the genre?
Jackbox games have become a phenomenon over the course of the last decade. Gathering around your TV with friends playing some wacky games is always a good time. Today we’re gonna go back to the very beginning and take a look at the first two games in the series, You Don’t Know Jack and You Don’t Know Jack Mock 2.
It’s been a little over a year since we covered the first game in the Legacy of Kain series, so we think it’s time to take a look at its critically acclaimed sequel. Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver introduces an entire new genre and graphical style to the series, but how does it stack up against the original?
It’s been a while since we played our last rhythm game, so we decided it was time to revisit the genre. Picked by our new guest Dellen, we decided to tackle the first in a forgotten series, Bust a Groove.
Ape Escape is a PS1 classic that puts the brand new DualShock controller front and center. Joined by Jack from 156/Silence, we’re going to find out just how fun it is to capture monkeys!
It’s been a year since we covered our first racing game, Destruction Derby. While we have a ton of experience playing more arcade style racing games, simulation games are a little outside of our wheelhouse. We’re very excited to take a look at the first game in a long-running series, Colin McRae Rally!
Wild 9 is a 2.5D action platformer from the creators of the Earthworm Jim series, complete with all of the wacky antics that made Jim so popular in the first place. Is this a worthy follow up? And what does 2.5D mean anyway?
Until recently, it hasn’t been possible to play the Japanese only adventure game, Aconcagua. Join us as we take another step into the world of fan translations, and find out if this forgotten game is worth playing today!
Today we’re looking at the first entry on the PS1 in the legendary Mega Man series, a port of SNES title Mega Man X3! We’re happy to be joined by Mega Man expert, Dan of The Callous Daoboys who will help us make sense of the lore and figure out if this port is worth revisiting!
Duke Nukem: Total Meltdown is a port of Duke Nukem 3D for the PS1, along with some additional levels and features. The last time we played a PC port on the Playstation the results were catastrophic, will this time be any different?
For year 2 of the show, we’ve decided we want to fill in the gaps with new genres we haven’t covered yet, regardless of if we’re excited to get into them or not! Panzer Front is a very serious, very intense tank simulation game that puts you into various World War 2 battles. Join us as we get pushed to our absolute limits with the most realistic tank simulation on the PS1!
