Classic Games Podcast

Space Freight Services

Each episode, we discuss at least one classic game each, looking at them from a modern perspective but also remembering where they stand in the evolution of game development. Sometimes they’re games we played and loved growing up. Sometimes they’re games we missed and are experiencing for the first time. Though we each have our core beloved genres, we all play a variety of games of various styles, eras, and platforms.

QUICK NOTE: When I say "Regardless of how good he thinks he is or is not at shmups" (in regards to MrSparkle), I'm referring to him often understating his skill and thinking he isn't that great even though he's quite good at shmups. I realized upon a second listen that it's possible I came off as an ass, saying he thinks he's better than he is. -Rob Anyway, it's three dollars if you wanna play the Nintendo 64.

Episode 16: Top 10 Games from 1989
[Original publish date: July 20ish, 2014] An old one that got lost in the shuffle at some point. On this one, we didn't discuss any specific games we had been playing; we just did our top tens of 25 years ago.
