[00:04:57] Fine time was on with you. We were talking about games. You kept looking up stuff on how long to beat

[00:05:02] It was killing me. It was the funny

[00:05:05] I don't know why just it was almost like a recurring bit that you didn't plan or something

[00:12:14] It's been a long time man go ahead and talk about

[00:12:17] anything you do do tell tell listeners all about yourself and your favorite games and

[00:12:22] Maybe your favorite bacon cheeseburger, maybe

[00:12:26] Well Culver's is better than Popeyes for both bacon cheeseburgers and chicken sandwiches, but you know

[00:12:33] Colders is good out here. So I don't know Culver's is the Midwestern answer. Yeah, absolutely

[00:12:39] Culver's is great. I'm just

[00:12:42] Softball on their hand pitching to the demographic here, you know

[00:12:46] I

[00:12:48] Don't really do a lot of stuff. I'm on Twitter. So that's probably where you know me from I don't do things elsewhere

[00:12:54] I'm trying to chase Pat Finnerty the

[00:12:57] That's why this song stinks guy on YouTube trying to use my

[00:13:02] My

[00:13:03] Clout to get him to put quest 64 on his pedal mobile, which is a guitar pedal thing that rotates around his head

[00:13:10] Yeah, I've been spending a few days on that now and that's kind of what my life goal is right now

[00:13:14] I put aside all of the important

[00:13:17] history to

[00:13:19] chase a youtuber

[00:13:20] To put quest 64 on this show it's a noble goal really if you guys know

[00:13:26] Yeah, yeah

[00:13:27] If you if you guys don't know look them up it the series is called what makes the song stink and it is a

[00:13:33] Fantastic series. Love it. Yeah, he's like a prodigy or something. I'm glad he stopped my guy version

[00:13:37] I didn't like I didn't like the podcast

[00:13:40] Though the regular one and then the little stinkers are both excellent. Oh, yeah

[00:13:44] Yeah, and then he started a whole

[00:13:47] emo

[00:13:48] Like a emo band August is falling just because he wanted money to put a hot tub in his garage and they put out an EP

[00:13:58] And it was and it's good like it's a like I mean as far as you know, it's not bad. Yeah

[00:14:04] Commercial music it's solid. No, he's great. Yeah, if you don't watch Pat

[00:14:09] Screwing it was on his episode. It was on his episode when he was talking about a machine gun Kelly's

[00:14:15] Yeah, so you mo girl. Yeah

[00:14:18] Man yeah, everybody's doing better stuff to me. So I'm more than happy to come on and talk about everybody

[00:14:25] All man come on the stuff you're doing is super rad though. Dude. You're the celebrity here. Yeah

[00:14:32] Don't do anything

[00:14:35] He does everything don't listen to him audience. You're spreading the he's spreading the gospel

[00:14:42] Yeah, I played it quest 64 front to back if that's not doing something you then I don't know what is

[00:14:49] Before we get to the Q&A and we'll take a short short break. Listen to some cool tunes and

[00:14:56] For this segment of the show I just buy asthma discord server a question related to the topic read on the show

[00:15:12] Answers questions. I answered those questions

[00:15:15] so I asked them

[00:15:17] What are some of your favorite handheld ports of games any home console game that was all supported to a handheld console?

[00:15:25] To which Dave Jackson real Dave Jackson, sorry immediately said

[00:15:29] Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2 on GBA blew my mind is basically the same as the console version and it ruled

[00:15:36] Nice. I don't know anything

[00:15:39] Maybe the Kevin on fine time would know about this. I had never he's probably played it before her

[00:15:44] I

[00:15:45] Have a I have a box copy of it over there and it is it is a fantastic

[00:15:50] Version of Tony Hawk they were able to

[00:15:52] Do a fantastic job of taking that game and putting it on the GBA in a way

[00:15:56] That is it's not the same as the console version

[00:15:59] Obviously, but the version that we get is fantastic

[00:16:02] And there were quite a and like three for the undergrounds

[00:16:07] Even like American skate land all showed up on GBA and they're all solid versions. It's pretty cool

[00:16:12] Thraki can do the next one

[00:16:13] Which one's the next one? Is it from Jeff?

[00:16:17] From a one boat box or

[00:16:22] He says and I quote handheld ports are the worst and I live everything love even

[00:16:28] But also die katana and battle tanks gameboy color were good. I enjoyed them

[00:16:32] I still can't believe there's die katana on the fucking game

[00:16:37] And it's better it's better than the

[00:16:40] First-person shooter either. It's a like

[00:16:43] Zelda esque RPG

[00:16:46] Wow

[00:16:47] It is not one of the games I played for today because it was too good for my list

[00:16:52] Like I wanted to dedicate more time to it

[00:16:55] It's a surprisingly competent. It's surprisingly competent. Whoa, what the fuck? Yeah, it really is like a Zelda game

[00:17:02] What the shit? Yeah

[00:17:05] There were a lot of Zelda clones on Gameboy

[00:17:09] I know when we started I said I was playing that and I did start playing it and then I decided that I needed

[00:17:15] To play like four whole games and I wanted to put like 50 hours into that

[00:17:19] So that was gonna derail this whole thing. So so I didn't play it gonna have to wait for that one

[00:17:27] That'll be in the future that actually happened a few times

[00:17:30] I was playing perfect dark too

[00:17:31] And then I found out the perfect dark gameboy color game is also awesome

[00:17:35] And I needed to spend more time on that. You guys don't get that either. Oh, no

[00:17:40] That was actually I was gonna say that was actually on my list as well, but I stopped playing it just I was like

[00:17:47] I want to do this separate

[00:17:49] whoa

[00:17:51] It is good

[00:17:52] Andre you can have the next one from the Cthusius Jeff

[00:17:56] Oh the Cthusius Jeff says favorite ports that I played are killer instinct on Gameboy and

[00:18:02] Super Mario Advance on Gameboy Advance and Aaron. I'm sorry to insult your listeners, but Jeff

[00:18:06] What's wrong with you killer instinct on Gameboy?

[00:18:08] Killer instinct on Gameboy

[00:18:12] Jeff's a weird guy he's a weird dude

[00:18:17] Look look I like him as well, but like if you're at the discord and chat with him his opinions are

[00:18:23] Surprisingly different. No, I like I like Jeff. I'm sorry, but it's just the killer instinct is killing me

[00:18:30] The games I'm gonna talk about today are not all like big winners either. Don't get me wrong

[00:18:35] I think they're interesting at the same time killer instinct. Oh, baby. Oh, it took me a back

[00:18:41] Are there any good fighting games on the original Gameboy? I don't like fine out in a second

[00:18:47] Exciting but yeah Super Mario Advance on the GBA

[00:18:50] Fantastic it was the first Gameboy Advance game ever played because um one of the kids my mom used to babysit for at

[00:18:56] The time she would bring her original Gameboy Advance with that we were like this is so fucking cool, so

[00:19:02] It I think it's wild that I think Mike's closer to my age

[00:19:07] But more in Thrax age group that like their Mario experience was like first ones were like Gameboy Advance practically and not like

[00:19:15] You know what I mean?

[00:19:16] Not even like Mario all-stars or whatever like it had gotten so far down the road at that point

[00:19:20] We're like a Super Mario Advance was it for like a lot of people which is fine. There's nothing wrong with that

[00:19:25] It's just that like I don't know it just makes me feel old. That's all I wanted

[00:19:30] I did I did grow up with Mario 1 & 3 on the NES because we had an NES

[00:19:35] But Super Mario Advance was probably the first like new Mario game

[00:19:39] I played like I didn't play any other 3d ones until later. I show like like I played sunshine before 64

[00:19:48] Wild showing my age I guess wild

[00:19:52] Mike you can have the next one from Nomad

[00:19:54] Max Payne on the Gameboy Advance they took a third-person shooter and made an isometric shooter bullet time still works solid too

[00:20:06] I never played it either

[00:20:09] The GBA collector I have it over there in one of those like retro game cases it is

[00:20:14] It's just yeah the first Max Payne and like an isometric

[00:20:18] Like a third person shooter and yeah again surprisingly competent like it works really well

[00:20:23] It even retains like some of that comic book style like cutscenes that are between the levels as well

[00:20:30] You know it's the same game, but it's it's definitely like they cut a lot of the levels down

[00:20:35] But cool it runs very smooth too like a lot of GBA ports run kind of slow

[00:20:41] You know but Max Payne is like yeah, I'm pretty sure it's hitting 30

[00:20:47] If I have ever played yeah through a full Max Payne game any of them

[00:20:53] I definitely ah

[00:20:55] They're so good. I played through all three when they hit a backwards compatible on the Xbox and

[00:21:01] Great time. Oh, I liked all three of them for different reasons, but that is a another show

[00:21:07] Speaking of hitting 30 judge bread

[00:21:09] He says believe it or not need for speed underground on Gameboy Advance

[00:21:13] They pushed the little handheld to its limits graphically and was pretty darn close to the console version

[00:21:18] fully customizable cars licensed music get low by a little John on the East Side boys of course

[00:21:23] Etc

[00:21:24] Damn, imagine little John of the East Side boys on Gameboy Advance. Just horribly horribly compressed

[00:21:31] Imagine them playing it

[00:21:37] No like little John's playing it and they're like hey, what do you think and he just goes okay?

[00:21:43] What I?

[00:21:46] Cannot cringe more

[00:21:53] Like other than when a handheld gets locked into a single song like I love hearing me like eight

[00:22:00] 16-bit versions of songs and it's great

[00:22:04] Sometimes that can be really good. Yeah

[00:22:07] Uh, I guess the thrack gets the last one from Adam

[00:22:11] Adam he says Mario tennis was one of my favorites as they completely removed the story and RPG elements from the n64 version

[00:22:18] Fuck yeah Mario on Gameboy color

[00:22:21] Didn't tennis have wasn't tennis an RPG on Gameboy color

[00:22:25] Yeah, he's saying that like the the Gameboy color version was better because the n64 version did not have the RPG shit

[00:22:33] Okay, the way you worded it was weird, but yeah. Yeah love that version also Mario Mario golf on Gameboy color

[00:22:39] Yes, yeah, that's your piece. Yeah, those fuckers are so good. What the fuck is the neo geo pocket color golf game?

[00:22:47] Is it neo turf master neo turf masters, yeah, I don't know if that counts as like a handheld port it sure does

[00:22:54] That's a golf game all time

[00:22:55] But they're not allowed to call that anymore if you notice now

[00:22:58] It has to go by the Japanese title big tournament golf because masters

[00:23:03] That for some I think the Masters got up their ass about it

[00:23:07] So like even if you have like the our guys version it has now been like all versions have been changed a big

[00:23:13] Tournament goal. It's the same thing obviously

[00:23:15] But well I think it's cuz I think it's cuz the PGA have like

[00:23:19] Trademarked that term for golf or something like that because the new EA sports PGA is like EA sports like PGA Masters

[00:23:28] Yeah, but

[00:23:30] Yeah, but yeah neo turf masters probably the best game. It is there's no doubt. Absolutely. Yeah. Yeah. Who do you pick?

[00:23:37] Who's your player?

[00:23:39] The dude who has like the orange shirt and he does like this pose when he gets a birdie or something this one

[00:23:47] I picked the German guy cuz he has like the sick drive

[00:23:51] You can just yeah sick like seriously you can get like 300 yards on that thing

[00:23:55] It's a great game, and it's good on neo geo pocket colors actually. I was actually playing it this morning on my amber neck

[00:24:02] God damn it. I fucking love neo geo pocket color so much. Yeah, that's it for the QA

[00:24:07] Let's take another quick break quick slim fast break. I don't fucking know and Jim

[00:24:15] Snap into a break why is that what?

[00:24:28] Happened to a break I like it

[00:24:30] No, you're snapping it then it breaks. Yeah

[00:24:34] snap that snaps and breaks rip and tear breaks and snacks I

[00:24:39] almost had snacks

[00:24:41] is a snack yeah, I

[00:24:44] Don't know if we ever really said what the the theme was or not the theme the topic was for today

[00:24:49] But yeah, we're just talking about the best handheld ports of games

[00:24:52] Well, I guess best or weirdest wonky is whatever we want to go with just handheld ports of console games

[00:24:58] I I did my favorite ones so

[00:25:01] Hopefully you guys did too. I did a little bit of cheating it did some arcade stuff, so hopefully

[00:25:07] Hopefully you can forgive that's fine, too

[00:25:09] Yeah, I essentially picked four that I wanted to play anyways

[00:25:13] They were like in my backlog so that's sort of what I did for that. I haven't played gives me an excuse

[00:25:18] You know that's what I did to these I have never played before

[00:25:21] And one I played specifically for Mike

[00:25:25] Just for his approval for yeah well to be to be fair. I wanted to play it anyways, so

[00:25:32] Nice nice nice. Okay. Well. I want to I want to talk about the one that's been it's always it's always on my mind

[00:25:39] It's like that one. I think it's an Elvis song. I don't know who's like you are always on my mind

[00:25:47] Yeah, it sounds like Elvis hey shout out to Elvis

[00:25:55] Wait you're always on my mind is Willie Nelson. I think is it is it

[00:25:59] Let's pause well. I think he I think he did a version of it. Yeah, I think Elvis did Elvis did a version

[00:26:06] Willie Nelson did a version yeah, okay well

[00:26:10] That's how I know it just pet shop

[00:26:17] Boys in the West End girls I love that shop boys great band regardless

[00:26:21] I want to talk about Xenoblade Chronicles on the 3ds because I'm still fucking thrown away that they got a fucking

[00:26:29] Whole ass like gigantic Wii game on a 3ds and it actually plays

[00:26:34] Really well it looks really fucking good, and they even added they streamlined a lot of the the combat

[00:26:42] They streamlined a lot of how the the side quests worked and everything like it

[00:26:47] It's everything you know enough about the original game on the Wii

[00:26:51] But it's even better like it's an in handheld form you can play it fucking anywhere

[00:26:55] Just pop in headphones played on like the bus. I played it at work a lot, and yeah, it's great man

[00:27:01] Wasn't it specifically on the new 3ds was it one of those games yeah, yeah

[00:27:07] There were a lot of games and even like the the Super Nintendo

[00:27:10] Virtual console was only on the new 3ds because they have that extra that extra processing power and shit

[00:27:16] Yeah, cuz the 3ds could not run a Super Nintendo game

[00:27:20] No, do you possible the same with Minecraft about my kid Minecraft, and he didn't have a new yeah

[00:27:26] Yeah, it was bogus. I had to go buy another whole system

[00:27:31] That's terrible

[00:27:33] For Minecraft yeah that plays on everything in my house, but you know let's get another handheld you can play on your

[00:27:40] Yeah, go buy them like a used fucking

[00:27:43] Samsung Galaxy s4 and download Minecraft on that

[00:27:47] Already bought the game. I was pot committed like I had the game

[00:27:54] That's awesome Xenoblade Chronicles 3ds is

[00:27:58] Is the version I played originally I did not play this game originally on Wii I was out on Nintendo at that time

[00:28:04] So and then when I came around I got when they announced switch I ate that black Friday in 2016

[00:28:09] I got a new 3ds for like a hundred bucks, so I'm like okay

[00:28:12] Let's see what I can do on this thing and that was one of the first things I got and I was like

[00:28:16] Okay, I'll play it this way. I heard it's a good version

[00:28:18] I and I looked up the Wii version afterwards

[00:28:21] I feel like I lost nothing by playing the 3ds version that version is so complete and so good

[00:28:28] That I was I'm I'm blown away, and I didn't even play it before right like that

[00:28:33] That is one of the best sports. I've ever seen honestly

[00:28:37] The only the only complaint I have with it is that like yeah

[00:28:40] Sometimes the visuals can look kind of like kind of muddy like kind of kind of primitive, but I mean

[00:28:47] They're kind of they're it's kind of ps1 a sometimes yeah sure but like it honestly on that small screen it works

[00:28:54] I think it's I think it's great. Yeah, yeah, man, and it's I mean the the definitive edition on switch

[00:29:02] It cleared up a lot of things even more yeah that guy right there right it did a lot more like added new

[00:29:08] all the

[00:29:10] DLC shit it made everything look prettier and stuff

[00:29:13] But yeah, I mean if you have a 3ds and you have the ability to get the 3ds version

[00:29:18] I think that's still a really really good way to play the person and I have played

[00:29:22] Zenoblade Chronicles switch a definitive edition if you will and I played it all over again

[00:29:26] And I'd love that too, but yeah that 3ds version will still be pretty impressive to me always oh

[00:29:32] Yeah, oh yeah

[00:29:33] I've yet to ever play a zeno blade game dude play that one

[00:29:37] I bought this when it came out because I thought oh that'd be cool to play and when this come out

[00:29:43] It was during lockdown time. That's kind of why I got it yeah

[00:29:48] So yeah, so it's four years all I did all I did was go oh, that's cool

[00:29:53] Yeah, and close it up it

[00:29:56] Xenoblade always has such a special place. I don't know something about it looks like it's too daunting for me

[00:30:01] I don't know what it is. Oh

[00:30:02] No, man once once you get the ball fucking rolling on that game, dude

[00:30:06] It's hard to put down because there's like

[00:30:08] There's kind of like like a little bit of a loot system to it because like enemies drop treasure chests, and then you can

[00:30:15] Build your characters for different things like there's essentially like xeno blade uses this

[00:30:22] Like it like a three-person party system. We have like a DPS tank and healer and there's

[00:30:27] Like six or seven different party members

[00:30:30] I forget and each one is essentially like a different version of that class

[00:30:35] So like Shulk will be like your main DPS for a little while, and then you'll get like

[00:30:41] His girlfriend lady I forget her fucking name or like I don't know it's really fucking fun man give her a chance

[00:30:47] It's it's it's awesome. I'll get to it at some point. There's just too many games to play yep feel that

[00:30:55] Speaking of too many games

[00:30:58] We should go oh anybody you really are free for okay fine. I'll go next how about that

[00:31:05] I'll do it

[00:31:07] Okay

[00:31:08] So I got a PlayStation for my 14th birthday, so this would be May 96

[00:31:15] So pretty early in the system's life. You know like within the first like six months or so or close to it and

[00:31:22] Like any 14 year old I was heavily interested in a little thing see I'm doing the James Lipton again

[00:31:27] I was interested in a little thing called

[00:31:31] Battle Arena Toshinden

[00:31:34] and

[00:31:35] It's hard to remember now because nobody cares

[00:31:38] But the first couple of Toshinden games were huge like they were a big deal

[00:31:42] This but not just among like people who are buying this new fresh system

[00:31:46] But like they they were kind of a thing you know because it was like the first 3d fighter that had weapons

[00:31:53] You know and you could like dodge roll you have this like very anime cast of

[00:31:58] characters and like it was just perfect for the mid 90s right and

[00:32:03] Then there is also a Gameboy version this game

[00:32:07] Yeah

[00:32:08] Yeah

[00:32:09] Question did this game did this game walk so like a soul caliber could run?

[00:32:14] Soul edge came out I want to say like less than a year after this

[00:32:20] So I would assume that Namco was probably already working on a game like that, but like yeah basically yeah

[00:32:26] Because

[00:32:29] Because the screenshots I'm looking at it gives a vibe of like so caliber one

[00:32:34] You know it doesn't it doesn't like UI looks and everything yes

[00:32:39] But it's simply it plays more like a 2d fighter though because you have commands like

[00:32:43] Dragon punch commands and fireballs and stuff like that like a 2d fighter

[00:32:47] You know what I mean, so it doesn't it's not like combo based like it like a soul caliber or Tekken if you will

[00:32:53] Right it's more like doing them flashy moves, which is like the appeal of it, but again there was a Gameboy version

[00:33:00] So it's like okay. How do you squash down these 3d graphics onto Gameboy?

[00:33:04] Obviously the answer is you don't right so you make a 2d fighter

[00:33:09] Instead but historically as I laughed at earlier

[00:33:13] Fighter fighting games on Gameboy never seemed to work out as this is like killer instinct and like other games have shown

[00:33:20] It's always like sluggish and bad

[00:33:22] But hey, you know it was 1996 the Gameboy had been out for like many years right?

[00:33:27] Maybe they could figure it out nah not really they didn't really figure it out, but

[00:33:32] Ultimately that's okay because here's like a dirty little secret

[00:33:37] Toshinden on PlayStation was not really that good either like it was good at the time

[00:33:42] And I loved it you know and it looked great, but like gameplay wise it was always kind of like

[00:33:47] You know when you go back to it. It's definitely not something

[00:33:51] You're like oh, man. This is this is the shit. Yeah, you know whatever

[00:33:55] point is I think the Gameboy version of battle arena to Shinden is really good because

[00:34:01] Of the way they squashed everything down

[00:34:04] They literally made the characters like chibi or super super deformed style as was as you did in the 90s right?

[00:34:11] with the big heads and

[00:34:13] Whatever like and all the characters look really good that way

[00:34:16] I love as Mike was saying earlier about

[00:34:21] Like sort of D making music I really like the 8-bit versions of the of the red book music on PlayStation

[00:34:28] You know they did a really good job on that

[00:34:30] It's they sound fun and that the recognizable ads of songs

[00:34:34] Because as you might know like that that kind of music at a time is just very distinctly of that time

[00:34:40] So it works

[00:34:43] But it doesn't really play the best

[00:34:45] Usually when a fighting game controls bad, I like to say it controls like wet butt

[00:34:51] Which is always my coach for some reason so Shinden on Gameboy controls like wet, but

[00:34:58] unfortunately

[00:35:00] Their game that controls like dry, but um I don't think

[00:35:06] Is that better or worse? I don't know see I don't know dry, but it's better than wet

[00:35:10] But I feel like dry, but it's slightly better not but not much better. It's still but at the end of day

[00:35:14] It's all it's all cheeks. That's true. It's all cheeks to me, but um

[00:35:18] Yeah, it's you know even though it's 2d like it's a good luck getting those moves to come out

[00:35:24] They just it just doesn't happen

[00:35:26] I was using the character is pretty familiar with and I just couldn't get it to go so like it's really stiff

[00:35:34] But it has that charm they added like a few things

[00:35:37] They added like little story things when you pick a character and then before you start your first fight the original game

[00:35:42] Doesn't have that so they tried to gussy it up a little bit for Gameboy

[00:35:46] But ultimately it still falls in the trap of like and this isn't really that good

[00:35:51] But honestly though if I had this back in the day

[00:35:54] I would have been fine with it, but it is aged like but maybe age like wet, but excuse me

[00:36:02] But yeah, so that's that's Toshinden I guess

[00:36:05] So it sounds like in the realm of Gameboy fighters. It may be in say the upper half

[00:36:10] But like just yeah, but that bar is so low

[00:36:16] I was about to say like what do you consider the top echelon for like?

[00:36:21] Maybe maybe

[00:36:24] I'll say the alpha on Gameboy Advance is pretty good. That's okay

[00:36:28] I guess but once you get to Gameboy Advance is targeting better, but like on Gameboy Game

[00:36:31] Yeah, oh man. It's right is or like I or like that port of Mortal Kombat 1 on Gameboy like now

[00:36:38] That's no that's that's total wet, but my friend had Mortal Kombat 2 on Gameboy, and it was the wettest, but I've ever touched in my life

[00:36:44] It's terrible

[00:36:48] But yeah, so the like the legacy of Gameboy fighters is not saved by Toshinden

[00:36:53] But it's charming then I think for a 1996. That's all it really needed to be so

[00:36:58] Like the graphics I was looking at some screenshots. It looked like kind of like a neo-jewel

[00:37:03] Fight yes, and that's what it has that like kind of weird. Yeah, that's what I was expecting it to play like I'm like

[00:37:08] Okay, maybe this is brick because I think the game I think the news you pocket color fighters played good

[00:37:12] You know I think those are fun. Yeah, but I was kind of that's why I picked this up because I was like

[00:37:17] Maybe Toshinden is like kind of the start of though. No it's not this plays like but so yeah

[00:37:26] It's fun though looks good today to curiosity they come out around the same time

[00:37:31] Oh, yeah, man Toshinden came out 96 and I was looking at

[00:37:36] King of fighters are one on neo-jewel pocket color again. I'm looking shit up that came out 98. Yeah

[00:37:44] Fucking the issue pocket fuck it. Yeah

[00:37:48] The old geo pocket color fighters or not punk neo-jewel pocket fighters are so they're fun. They're a lot of fun

[00:37:53] I'm surprised when I finally cuz they started putting some of them out on switch or whatever and I tried some they're really fun. Yeah

[00:38:00] Absolutely speaking of fun

[00:38:03] Who wants to go next?

[00:38:06] I

[00:38:09] Me Andre Andre Andre Andre Andre Andre I

[00:38:13] Guess I'll go real quick. So

[00:38:15] So you guys have heard of a guy named Pac-Man, right? He's like this yellow ball thing. What relatively obscure

[00:38:23] Yeah, relatively obscure. He's got a mouth. We know and we know what that mouth do. Oh boy. Yeah, that's not long

[00:38:30] But anyways, so on the PlayStation I guess we'll stick with PlayStation they put out a little game called Pac-Man world

[00:38:36] Oh, I guess was their attempt to be like hey

[00:38:39] We should do like the Mario 64 thing

[00:38:42] But with Pac-Man, you know try to transition them over and while and that game is surprisingly good for what it is

[00:38:48] yeah, and

[00:38:50] they crammed it all in a Game Boy Advance card and

[00:38:53] There's a it's one of like there's like a handful of PS 1 ports to Game Boy Advance

[00:39:00] And they range in quality like summer pretty bad

[00:39:05] But I gotta say this is probably one of the better ones

[00:39:08] Even though I think it's it's kind of like it's fine

[00:39:12] Like I think the original Pac-Man world hasn't aged the best, you know

[00:39:17] Despite it being like not a bad 3d platformer for its day, but it was more of like a

[00:39:23] Like it feels like it's trying to be more of like a 2d platformer

[00:39:26] But like within like a 3d space, you know and the Game Boy Advance tries to replicate that but it has some issues with say

[00:39:33] Like like the screen being a little too small

[00:39:35] So some of your jumps which would be like normal jumps on the on the PS 1 version become more like leaps of faith

[00:39:42] You know and those can be issues and the depth perception really fucked with me on this because it's

[00:39:47] Like like it's trying to do like the fake 2d 3d thing

[00:39:51] You know and you say like you draw two squares and put a line on it on a piece of paper

[00:39:55] You're like that's 3d. That's what it looks like

[00:39:58] So the jumping can be a bit iffy and there were way too many times

[00:40:02] I totally whiffed a jump when it looks like I shouldn't have at all, you know

[00:40:07] But it but again even still like they they compress the hell out of the music and their shorter versions of the two

[00:40:13] They're not bad

[00:40:15] Pac-Man still all of has all of his normal abilities

[00:40:18] You still have all like the different power-ups and the little secrets and all that and you still fight the final boss

[00:40:24] You know the normal one though. It's a much shorter experience and it's it's fine

[00:40:29] It's not bad or anything, but if you wanted to play Pac-Man world

[00:40:33] I mean just play the remake the remake that came out surprisingly they did a remake of it and it

[00:40:39] That remake is so weird, yeah like

[00:40:42] Cuz when they did the Pac-Man Museum thing

[00:40:44] I think a lot of us are like why not just do a world collection like do one two and three

[00:40:48] You know and they're just like no we're gonna remake one. It's like shit. Okay, and that was cool

[00:40:55] And just as a side note, they also did this with Pac-Man world 2

[00:40:59] But Pac-Man world 2 on GBA is like a 2d sprite art thing and much like Pac-Man world

[00:41:06] The real Pac-Man world 2 it is much better. So I would play that one

[00:41:12] And world 1 it's fine the fucking the little pixely

[00:41:17] Pixely sprites for Pac-Man in a Pac-Man world 2 for GBA. They look so fucking good. Yeah

[00:41:24] Yeah, it's pretty good. It's a straight platformer. They're not doing the weird 2d 3d thing

[00:41:29] So yeah, they look super cute super cool. That's awesome

[00:41:34] I just watched a short little thing of the first one that he was talking about and it reminds me a lot of the

[00:41:39] Cool spot game on Genesis, especially when you started talking about getting lost in that like

[00:41:44] Yeah, like 3d jumping thing. That's the game

[00:41:48] I always think about where I feel like I'm jumping correctly and I'm never

[00:41:53] jumping correctly

[00:41:57] And it doesn't do a good job of like having that shadow so where you can kind of judge where you're gonna land

[00:42:02] You know, so

[00:42:04] It's a shame because the game took a little bit longer than I expected it to because of that but

[00:42:10] Yeah, I think I'd be in like a couple hours. Yeah

[00:42:15] No, not at all. Hey Mike. Hey, why me? It's your turn dude

[00:42:20] Hey

[00:42:24] So I told him I was yeah, yeah, that's cool

[00:42:28] I was gonna play

[00:42:30] because I'm the n64 guy decided I was gonna play all Game Boy Color ports of

[00:42:35] N64 games and what I learned playing these is a lot of humility and

[00:42:40] a

[00:42:45] Lot of like meeting games on their own terms because obviously going from like the n64 to the Game Boy Color was not

[00:42:52] The easiest adjustment for me. I'm planning on playing them all anyway

[00:42:55] But this was like canning balling into the like

[00:42:59] you know Marriott

[00:43:01] Four-foot swimming pool that has been cleaned out in a while. Like I don't like to dump on games but like

[00:43:08] obviously, it's hard to make a transition from a system that I've played like thousands of hours of and then go to a system that's a

[00:43:16] significant draft goals or graphical step backwards and then

[00:43:21] Try to

[00:43:23] re-experience games that I played

[00:43:25] lots of and so yeah

[00:43:28] I usually talk a lot about game, you know, you know, Thrak just said that games, you know

[00:43:33] The Pac-Man world maybe didn't age well and I say that you know games don't age we do

[00:43:38] You know

[00:43:38] It's something if you played it if he had played the Pac-Man world game when it came out on Game Boy Advance

[00:43:44] It probably wouldn't have felt like it aged at all for him to play it now because the game hasn't changed at all

[00:43:50] Like just our perception of what games are and what games can be has changed

[00:43:55] I didn't play any of these games when they came out. So I have none of that

[00:44:00] I'm experiencing all of these for the first time and it's hard

[00:44:04] It's a big adjustment for me. So I picked Turok 2

[00:44:08] For my first oh, I don't think I played that I think I think I've played

[00:44:13] Yeah

[00:44:15] So Turok 2 is that the one where it starts out with the first level you're in like the city and like

[00:44:20] Yeah, some of the the humans are like dinosaurs

[00:44:22] You have to go get all this like go to all the way to the end of the stage

[00:44:26] You get the stuff and then go all the way back. Yes. Yes, correct

[00:44:30] Yes, Jacob or Josh a fire seed but instead of being an awesome

[00:44:36] bowl wielding first-person shooter

[00:44:40] Dinosaur destroyer you're like a normal humans man detective trying to figure out if

[00:44:46] People are humans or reptilians

[00:44:49] Alex Jones style and it's real weird trying to jump into that which ones are gay

[00:44:55] Yep, and then the mechanic is press the select button, you know

[00:44:59] Because that's natural video game stuff there is press the select button on people to see if they're reptiles

[00:45:05] Yeah, it was hard you get like yeah you get like you get like the x-ray specs and at first you can punch them to

[00:45:11] Freeze them but later you get the knife and then you can actually kill them

[00:45:16] People doesn't hurt him at all. Yeah

[00:45:18] Yeah, it's naturally and then later on like they add. Okay, so I should preface that

[00:45:26] Activision straight-up said these stories are different

[00:45:29] They're separate like these don't coincide this one's not canon

[00:45:33] You know to the series on the n64 so all this weird stuff is completely acceptable because it's not canon or whatever

[00:45:40] but

[00:45:42] Later on

[00:45:44] you end up fighting the

[00:45:46] running from the boss which is a huge one of the sand worms from Dune because everybody remembers that part of Turok where

[00:45:54] You know the shy hulu and the fair and piss off the dinosaur hunter and

[00:46:01] Like man, I'm gonna tell you this game was just something else

[00:46:06] Yeah, it's

[00:46:08] It had nothing to do with Turok too. And that's that was the huge just mix

[00:46:12] I played a ton of like there was no sariro bore. It was like

[00:46:17] Like a shotgun and a knife. It's a bow

[00:46:21] That's so weird and that was like it and and it was you know

[00:46:26] Contrast I like side scrollers shooting and one of the really weird mechanics was like if an enemy was stationary and they were shooting a gun

[00:46:35] You could walk right through them the enemies that were walking around could hurt you

[00:46:40] But the enemies that were shooting projectiles were like like turrets or something like even if they were the same sprite

[00:46:47] So you had to figure out which enemies were like actually actively attacking you and which ones were shooting projectiles

[00:46:53] There was a huge learning curve that I was not expecting for a

[00:47:00] Game and it was it was rough on my brain

[00:47:03] and this was the first one of the four games that we were all supposed to play and after that I had to take a

[00:47:09] solid 12 hours off video games to go

[00:47:12] Re-evaluate

[00:47:16] Yeah, it's locked out you clocked out for the day

[00:47:20] Into like you're walking into like a rip attack or like basic math and they're like, what's up boy?

[00:47:25] We're doing trigonometry and fuck man

[00:47:32] Actually, I grew up with this game so like I've never played and 64 to rock too

[00:47:37] I've only played this game version. So to me all the weird shit in that game is normal

[00:47:43] Like that's how I know to rock too, you know, so different perspectives, you know

[00:47:48] That is a weird perspective then as you know

[00:47:51] I would imagine most people played the N64 version which but I also was one of the goriest games on the N

[00:47:58] 64 like mature like I said cerebral bore

[00:48:02] Chopping guys up. Yeah

[00:48:03] Gameboy color one is he for everyone which was also not something I was expecting

[00:48:11] Like all the bullets are just like little like balls

[00:48:15] Like yeah, like there's any s like contra balls, you know

[00:48:18] Yeah, but nerf balls, but Mike can we agree the music in the game boy version is pretty good. I liked it

[00:48:25] Yeah

[00:48:25] That was actually that high point of music that I played like especially that first level like that tune lives in my brain

[00:48:33] Like when you guys get a chance look up like the turac to gameboy like OST and just listen that first levels music

[00:48:39] It's really good. That's a tall order man because I'm pretty

[00:48:44] Pretty hooked on the grandia to OST right now

[00:48:50] Shadowing yeah

[00:48:52] Spoilers we are we are gonna do that game for fine time soon. I cannot wait. I am excited

[00:48:58] I'm excited right now as well. So we're all playing it

[00:49:02] That's what we're doing. Yeah shit I need to play it then

[00:49:05] It's fun. I grew up in Dreamcast and having that game was amazing. That was one of the best

[00:49:12] RPGs on the Dreamcast or at least ones that I owned so I have strong it's my favorite RPG of all time

[00:49:19] It's so straight up dude

[00:49:22] That skies of Arcadia you're good man

[00:49:25] Speaking of great fucking RPGs the DS port of Chrono Trigger is so

[00:49:31] Fucking sweet, dude. Very good. So the

[00:49:35] Yeah, so the DS port is based like almost entirely off of the original SNES version

[00:49:43] To cut out a lot of the dumb garbage that they added in the PS 1 version

[00:49:48] But they still have like the little anime cutscenes every so often. Of course, they're kind of yeah

[00:49:53] Yeah, dude, the Japanese version is cheaper and it has the English language so you can import it and play it

[00:50:00] It's got that cool cover too. But yeah the DS version also

[00:50:05] In the original version like on the SNES sometimes it in combat

[00:50:09] it feels really fucking cluttered because you'll have like all of your health bars like say down here taking up the whole screen and

[00:50:15] then like the

[00:50:16] Your attacks and commands or whatever up here at the top of the screen taking up even more of the screens

[00:50:20] So you have like just here to see your characters and shit

[00:50:24] The DS bitch because you have one screen for your party members and the enemies and then the other screen is where all of your

[00:50:31] Like health bars and like commands and shit go which is really cool cleans up the screen a lot. It adds a couple new

[00:50:38] It adds a couple new dungeons, which like aren't the best

[00:50:42] But they kind of like they kind of link it up with chrono cross a little bit more which is really really cool

[00:50:48] Fuck what else did they add? They they have the the PS 1

[00:50:53] like FMVs

[00:50:55] Yeah, yes one version though. Those are there as well. Yeah, dude then yeah, it's it's really just I think the best way to play it

[00:51:03] As of right now because like they haven't ported it to I think they have it on PC

[00:51:08] But the steam version is better like when it launched it was awful

[00:51:12] But if you ask people now, it's a better version. They've cleaned it up. That's good. I'd still recommend the DS version

[00:51:18] I've only ever played I've only ever played it when it came out on Super Nintendo

[00:51:22] I've never played another version of chrono trigger. So it's probably high time that I do honestly

[00:51:27] Yeah, I'm the opposite. I've only played the DS version. I've never played it on Super Nintendo

[00:51:33] Dude yeah the now the DS version it's a really fucking solid version of that game like it died

[00:51:39] I don't know you think to yourself

[00:51:41] How the fuck could they make chrono trigger any better and they did they did fucking the two screens man the two fucking screens

[00:51:48] It makes a lot of things better and and it's it's a perfect kind of portable

[00:51:53] RPG as well because it's just chrono trigger is famous for not being super long, you know

[00:51:58] Yeah, so it's nice to get out like couple sessions in here and there as well. And yeah

[00:52:02] I remember people were mad at the time when it came out because square was doing the square attacks

[00:52:08] They charged 40 bucks for it

[00:52:10] Which like that was like above a lot of other DS games. So like no not at the time

[00:52:16] Well, I mean I paid 80 bucks for my super

[00:52:19] That's why I was referencing the superintendent version. Yeah, that was that was a pretty penny

[00:52:24] So shit

[00:52:27] 118 bucks for a loose copy or not loose copy. Sorry completing box copy 80 bucks for a loose copy

[00:52:32] Holy shit. Look look up the price of the Japanese version. It is significantly cheaper. Yo, ho yo ho

[00:52:39] Yeah

[00:52:42] Mm-hmm speaking of pirates. Hey Andre, what's your next one? Yeah, I read

[00:52:56] Well as I'm sure everyone knows most of my formative years were spent at the arcade that was my happy place

[00:53:03] That's where I I loved more than playing games at home. I oh, yeah, I was a Nintendo kid

[00:53:08] I had a Nintendo Super Nintendo PlayStation whatever I wanted to go the arcade that was it for me and I did a lot and

[00:53:15] One of the games I played a fair amount in the early 90s was a little thing. I did it again

[00:53:22] Called

[00:53:24] Terminator 2

[00:53:26] Judgment Day you ever hear of this movie and then they made an arcade game out of it where you had a mounted

[00:53:31] light gun with like this real nice bucking action and you just shot the hell out of all these exoskeletons and and

[00:53:38] Skynet ships or whatever the hell they are called and it was like incredible

[00:53:42] It was like the perfect thing to put like two quarters into have fun for a few minutes

[00:53:46] Yeah, it's cheap as hell. They blow you away and then but you saw some really cool graphics, right?

[00:53:51] And I knew this at the time because I remember magazine advertisements for it

[00:53:55] But there's a version for home systems as the s Genesis or whatever, but also Game Boy

[00:54:00] And

[00:54:02] So and and when it came home it was called t2 the arcade game

[00:54:06] I think not Terminator 2 Judgment Day, right and I and you know

[00:54:10] if we're

[00:54:11] The conceit of that always pissed me off like shit like like TMNT to the arcade game and it's like bitch

[00:54:19] You can't fool me

[00:54:21] This is not the arcade game

[00:54:23] Bullshit, you know

[00:54:26] Expert

[00:54:29] Expert eight years old I was like a hip arcade hipster. So

[00:54:36] The arcade like like yes, yeah here kid, you're not talking shit to other kids you can't fool me

[00:54:42] That's not TMNT the arcade game. I'm trying to make your old boys

[00:54:48] Yeah, no, that's right. That's exactly how I sounded in 1990. You nailed it. Yeah

[00:54:53] But

[00:54:55] But yeah, there's this version for Game Boy. So I thought for this project. Yeah, you know what? Let's try it

[00:54:59] let's try something that looks so crazy at the arcade that there's no way they could do it on Game Boy and

[00:55:06] You know what though

[00:55:08] This was kind of fun

[00:55:10] I'm not gonna lie. I actually really enjoyed myself now, obviously it's a Game Boy

[00:55:15] It's not going to look the air like the arcade game

[00:55:18] But they got the they have the right details like you still have the exoskeletons walking up to you in the foreground

[00:55:24] you still have the

[00:55:27] Helicopter things in the background you can shoot missiles at them and you have your machine gun and you move your cursor along

[00:55:33] Obviously, the Game Boy doesn't have a light gun attachment. Imagine that hilarious shit

[00:55:37] So like yeah

[00:55:38] But so you move the cursor around and shoot things much like you do any other light gun game at home where you don't

[00:55:43] Have the light gun but it really does work

[00:55:46] It's not it's not that it feels exactly like the arcade game because look, let's face it

[00:55:50] The arcade game is designed to take your money. That's what it's there for

[00:55:53] It's it's really hard and it's really cheap and you want to see the Terminator graphics

[00:55:58] You want to hope you last as long or have enough change in your pocket to get to the part where you actually fight?

[00:56:04] the T

[00:56:05] 2000 or whatever and shoot the

[00:56:08] What's that thing where you shoot the tanker behind them? You know what I mean?

[00:56:11] And it has a cooling agent on them

[00:56:12] I remember seeing that in the air in the attract screens, but I never had enough money to get there

[00:56:17] Cuz the game was so fucking hard

[00:56:20] Anyway, do playing this on a Game Boy

[00:56:23] Honestly really fun fun little light gun

[00:56:25] I don't know if you could call moving a cursor game a still like ungame, but it's it honestly

[00:56:30] It was fun. It really was it was challenging

[00:56:33] It wasn't nearly as hard as the arcade because they don't need to do that. They already have your money

[00:56:37] They don't need to fuck you

[00:56:39] So it's like honestly, yeah

[00:56:43] But like yeah, I don't know if anyone out there has played this arcade game you guys or have played a home version of it

[00:56:49] But honestly on Game Boy, it was way better than I thought it would be

[00:56:53] I picked it cuz I thought it was gonna be bad and I was surprised. I'm wrong. Sorry T to the arcade game

[00:56:59] I'll give you credit. Did you end up beating it?

[00:57:02] No, I didn't get that. I mean I got like really far. I did like six or seven stages

[00:57:06] I didn't do the whole thing. But yeah, it's it I probably with some practice

[00:57:10] I probably could look at the chat look at the chat this there's a screenshot of Sarah Connor from the Terminator 2

[00:57:17] Gameboy game and she looks like Rosa Parks

[00:57:22] This is wild what the hell is this I didn't get I don't think I saw this at all

[00:57:26] I must have this must be from like the ending or something

[00:57:30] She looks like

[00:57:32] This is wild I

[00:57:35] Swear to god I thought I've got the two side by side now

[00:57:39] I'm looking at like pictures of Rosa Parks and her and like

[00:57:44] The rabbit holes Aaron goes down whenever we're talking is is incredible

[00:57:48] I didn't think we'd expect to be here, but we are

[00:57:52] She's got like she got like weird puffy cheeks, you know

[00:57:55] She is by a beat

[00:57:58] Dude that aside though the like the backgrounds in this game like the Game Boy version

[00:58:03] Like the Game Boy version are really fucking detailed and cool

[00:58:07] like you see the fucking the wasteland or not the way I've not the wasteland like the

[00:58:12] The destroyed city in the background with like the searchlights and shit. You've got like the little playground right there

[00:58:17] There's yeah, you can still shoot the fence

[00:58:19] You can still shoot all the objects to get like hidden power-ups and shit just like the arcade game

[00:58:23] It really does work exactly the same and it's fun

[00:58:27] Why did you send us a people's article link about Rosa Parks, dude? Oh

[00:58:35] Click so so grab that picture of Rosa Parks and put it right beside that the picture of Sarah Connor

[00:58:48] People be getting these images for the super pod saga home game

[00:58:58] Sarah Connor and Rosa Parks side by side

[00:59:01] In the heavyweight title match we have Sarah Connor versus Rosa Park, I mean I'd watch let's get it on

[00:59:10] Talk about talk about a summer slam brother

[00:59:14] MTV where they would have the two people

[00:59:23] That's so every deathmatch game was awful speaking it speaking of of awful no not awful speed. I don't know go through

[00:59:31] All right

[00:59:33] Well, my second one is it's kind of a cheat because the Gameboy

[00:59:39] Version was the first one. I'm a guide its NES and super NES sequels later, but I wanted to play it

[00:59:46] Because it's on the NSO service. It's called gargoyles quest. Oh

[00:59:49] Yes. Yeah

[00:59:51] So so gargoyles quest for those of you who don't know is a spin-off of the ghosts and goblins series

[00:59:56] Where you play as one of those little goblin guys?

[00:59:59] Fuck what's his name?

[01:00:01] firebrand firebrand right and so you're going on this adventure to

[01:00:07] Like save people. I don't I don't I don't really pay attention to the story

[01:00:11] But the gameplay is super cool

[01:00:16] I'm just making it up as I go

[01:00:19] So you have like these side scrolling action stages where you know

[01:00:23] You can float and shoot fire and all that which is really cool

[01:00:25] But in between the action stages it does like the top-down Zelda thing and is almost kind of like an adventure game almost

[01:00:32] And you have I guess I describe them as random encounters

[01:00:35] We'll be on the overworld map and you'll just run into some enemies and it's like oh, we got to fight him real quick

[01:00:40] and so it has like

[01:00:42] Like kind of Zelda like RPG elements where you know, you don't get like experience points, but you know if you if you

[01:00:49] Get certain items. It'll make you more powerful like throughout the story

[01:00:53] So you like you can float in the air longer and shoot more powerful

[01:00:57] Like fire or just other kind of weapons that help out like one

[01:01:01] I think you can shoot it into the wall and you can jump up a little higher as well, which is really nice

[01:01:06] And yeah, I was surprised at how much I really enjoyed it. I wasn't sure what to expect from it, but

[01:01:12] He was really fucking cool

[01:01:14] so much so that I put a little bit of time into its sequels and

[01:01:18] They're definitely more advanced but I don't know if I like them as much like they don't have the same kind of

[01:01:24] Quirky nature of my Goblin's Quest 2 on the NES which is technically a prequel

[01:01:29] I don't know

[01:01:30] It just it felt like it was slower and and just didn't have the same kind of

[01:01:34] Like level design is the the original gargoyles quest. I definitely like the original

[01:01:40] Gargoyles quest more than to to has one of my favorite soundtracks on any ass. I think the music is incredible

[01:01:48] That's like peak Capcom right there, but I do like the first one and then demons crest or Super Nintendo

[01:01:54] I almost consider like an entirely different like they don't feel like the first two at all

[01:01:58] Like they kind of have some elements of it, but demons press is like and I love demons Christ. Don't get me wrong

[01:02:04] I love that game, but I don't really it's like it's it's very different and it's very Super Nintendo

[01:02:10] 1994 right which is great, but not much of a like follow-up, right? I feel like you I think you're correct

[01:02:17] I think that Game Boy version is kind of unique unto itself

[01:02:21] Yeah, I think with demons crest because it's not called gargoyles quest 3

[01:02:25] It's like they wanted to kind of split it and make it into yeah, and it very it very much explain why it is very different

[01:02:31] Yeah, I believe that's on NSL as well. But gargoyles quest 2 is not it's weird

[01:02:37] Weirdly enough weirdly enough the gargoyles quest 2 has a Game Boy

[01:02:43] Remake it only came out in Japan though and it adds it adds more dungeons or whatever and like more powers you can unlock

[01:02:49] I could have played that

[01:02:52] You could have people I

[01:02:55] was actually just reading about it last night like the

[01:02:58] comparison of like the NES version and the Game Boy version and a lot of people say that the the Game Boy version

[01:03:03] Is a lot slower so an NES games already kind of slow. Yep stick with that NES one

[01:03:09] Yeah, cool game play

[01:03:12] Speaking of cool games. Hello Mike, what you got?

[01:03:21] So a

[01:03:23] Game that we can all relate to

[01:03:25] NBA Jam, I assume you guys have played NBA Jam on like nearly every system or at least on a handful of systems

[01:03:34] I actually played NBA Jam on one of my Genesis streams

[01:03:39] Nice well the best NBA Jam like

[01:03:43] For me on the N64 was NBA Showtime NBA and NBC

[01:03:49] Really long name game for just another NBA Jam

[01:03:52] It was what Midway did after a claim bought the NBA Jam license and ran and did their own simulation thing

[01:04:00] Yeah, it wasn't it went NBA Jam then hang time and then Showtime. Yep

[01:04:05] Yes, okay, yeah tournament edition then hang time then Showtime tournament edition

[01:04:11] Hang time was still on Genesis and stuff too. But then Showtime was

[01:04:15] Arcade it looked like NFL Blitz, you know, it was one of those. Yeah

[01:04:19] Yeah, I showed time I'm in cash and I played the hell out of that. Yeah, it's awesome

[01:04:23] Really really good. So we'll do this like a like a like a call-in response

[01:04:29] Name your favorite things about those games

[01:04:33] Anybody

[01:04:35] Like I love the gameplay features and stuff

[01:04:38] Like I love it's arcade fast. There's not too many people on the court and it's it is just it

[01:04:45] It's the right way to do like an arcade sports game. It's fast pick up and play

[01:04:49] You're just you're right in and you're enjoying having a good time. That on a fire would be big big huge jokes

[01:04:56] They want to still exist, but it's not fast on the Game Boy Color

[01:04:59] Is it more like a sim no, it's the game it's the game you're thinking of but it's not fast it is

[01:05:05] and in fact while you

[01:05:06] So because of the directional pad as opposed to the analog stick as you move left and right and up and down you move

[01:05:12] At full speed if you try to move in a diagonal manner at any point. It's like

[01:05:17] 33% speed maybe oh no

[01:05:21] Like so the so cutting off passing lanes and stuff completely thing

[01:05:24] So cutting off passing lanes and stuff completely thing I hear a Drey said on fire

[01:05:29] I did not experience that one time in the Game Boy court. No, I know they I know it exists

[01:05:36] I think

[01:05:37] But I was never able to experience that if you can't set the net on fire

[01:05:42] What the hell was the point of NBA Jam? I don't even know why you're playing

[01:05:46] What is well big heads big heads or not to have the fire man? He's on fire. You got it man come on

[01:05:54] Big heads either

[01:05:57] Aaron what is your favorite parts of NBA Jam hoops hoops, baby

[01:06:04] Thank God it has it has certainly does not have the other bites though right that Aaron was just not yeah

[01:06:10] No, in fact, it has no commentary whatsoever and a single music track as well. So oh

[01:06:18] None of the you know

[01:06:21] boom shock lock

[01:06:22] Slam a jam. He's on fire heating up

[01:06:28] Yep, I'm like I'm looking at gameplay of it and it looks like an alpha for like an NBA Game Boy Color game

[01:06:35] You know that was oh like we got it running. So we'll fix this later

[01:06:40] Next week double dribble from the NES but with less people. Yes. Yeah

[01:06:46] It absolutely does. Oh man. So the other things it doesn't do if you played showtime you can like do a spin move

[01:06:52] And different like they're none of that. We'll just skip all that none of that's in there

[01:06:58] throwing alley oops Wow not one time did my

[01:07:02] Did my computer?

[01:07:04] teammate jump towards the hoop for me to throw an alley hoop and then you know, you can do like the double dunk

[01:07:09] we're like you jump to dunk and then they jump and then you throw it to them and then they dunk to like

[01:07:15] Avoid none of that that didn't happen. You also couldn't go from dunk to like lay up

[01:07:19] Like where you fake a dunk and then you throw a layup instead to like throw the blocker off none of that

[01:07:24] There's also no multiplayer in the Game Boy Color like no link cable multiplayer or anything

[01:07:32] Yeah, I don't know man

[01:07:38] I was playing uh, I was just playing like flashback

[01:07:42] Or like one of those like side scrolling like Christ like because you can't you can't don't

[01:07:47] You can't you can't don't you can't plug Aaron you can don't fucking you can dunk. Oh

[01:07:54] You can't double dunk that's true

[01:07:56] You can't do a double-double at least don't like jump really high and then like dunk you look at this

[01:08:02] Okay, and Lisa so is that yeah?

[01:08:04] Yeah

[01:08:05] And like the screen shakes just like an NBA Jam

[01:08:07] So that was kind of cool like it did some things

[01:08:10] but I like showtime better than hang time because showtime did the thing where

[01:08:15] It was almost like the RPG of Midway sports games because you could create a kid had a really robust

[01:08:21] Create a character and you could like level up your character

[01:08:23] You could pick a special ability like have a hot spot on the floor

[01:08:27] Where you had increased accuracy from that one spot like a three-point or at the key year and they took all that

[01:08:33] That's fucking cool. Yeah, but that's not on this

[01:08:37] That's not on this version

[01:08:39] Oh, yeah, you got excited yes that yeah sadly no you should play show RPGs for

[01:08:48] Yeah, yeah, I'm just like the footage looks so plain

[01:08:52] You know like all the character of the NBA Jam is just stripped out of it

[01:08:57] And the models are all this the same to like on screen like they do really good like you know

[01:09:04] Tiles of players with their stats and stuff, but once you get on the court like everything looks exactly the same

[01:09:10] And it's like like a depressing I really want

[01:09:13] That like the background basketball court looks pretty nice like like the the logos they have in the center of the court

[01:09:19] Look like pretty good. Yeah

[01:09:22] Dude, I think I say about it

[01:09:24] Yeah

[01:09:24] Like the animation was pretty decent too and like I said the screen shake and like that yeah

[01:09:29] It was all fine, but like you played jam to not play basketball

[01:09:34] I guess you gotta have that sash you gotta have that flash and sizzle and with that literally the sizzle with the fucking fire

[01:09:40] And if you don't have that then yeah come on

[01:09:45] Yeah

[01:17:41] You could you could lick them and they could taste good

[01:17:43] Maybe depending on what flavor you get question was do I have to actually touch him with my mouth parts to experience this

[01:17:49] Like the Sun come through and I can just like no through osmosis like a plant

[01:18:00] Yeah, you get the essence of it yeah

[01:18:06] It's like drinking like a flavored La Croix like you get yeah

[01:18:13] The biggest problem would be walking through my window

[01:18:16] I don't know if I would buy the windows specifically to experience them if I had to like go all the way over there

[01:18:23] Yeah, look on the side

[01:18:26] Are they like are they are they like everlasting gobstoppers? Yes forever or is there like a finite time?

[01:18:34] well

[01:18:37] Yeah

[01:18:39] Like a cool way to uh like could you imagine

[01:18:43] Like a flavored window, but like just like little weird like thin parts in there cuz like oh it's like oh

[01:18:50] It's this height to lick it and like a tiny little hole starts to be no way man

[01:18:55] The whole the whole pain the whole glass pain. It's flavored, baby. You you cannot eat it

[01:19:00] You should not eat it

[01:19:01] You should not like blast it with your replica your flannel shirt around your fist

[01:19:06] Blast it open with a quick punch and then take a bite

[01:19:09] Eat glass, but you can look at you can look at yeah

[01:19:13] Yes, yes

[01:19:16] Of these flavored windows to turn me into like Natalie and Brulia where I just like pondering

[01:19:24] Well because I have to be like right on top of the window the whole time because otherwise how am I gonna look

[01:19:29] Yeah, exactly. It's it's you see how far that window is away from me. Yeah, I can't even reach it from here

[01:19:37] I mean good

[01:19:40] What flavors that window behind you

[01:19:42] No, because I'd have all the way over there to lick it. No, that's what that's why I wanted to don't find out

[01:19:47] Don't remember you don't remember

[01:19:51] Flavored windows come in many flavors such as lemon lime boys and berry

[01:19:58] green

[01:19:59] Green coffee. No purple like like like grahams coffee. Hey bones. Thanks for sponsoring our

[01:20:06] bones

[01:20:09] Highly artificial great great. I like

[01:20:15] And and Aaron and Aaron since we're on the show we're do the window

[01:20:21] The plug it play the flavored windows are doing a crossover with hamburger helper

[01:20:25] Yep, you can get a hamburger helper flavored window sponsors Betty. Yes hashtag ad

[01:20:33] So can you get like an extra window

[01:20:36] Like once again, I'm trying to solve my personal problems here like alright, so all the windows in my house

[01:20:42] They're all they're all covered in play for windows

[01:20:44] Can I get one extra one that just make maybe sits by my chair?

[01:20:48] So I can just lick that one without going to the one that's all I think that's okay. Yeah, you could that's okay for sure

[01:20:53] Yeah, we all need a snack right by our computer

[01:20:57] You know like imagine you're just doing your stuff and then like a song lick. You just put like a giant thing

[01:21:04] Perfect yeah, cuz I don't want my neighbors to like lick the outside of the window and then we have to think about licking the inside

[01:21:09] Of the window and then like sharing a like

[01:21:14] Yeah

[01:21:17] You somehow become like escobo

[01:21:23] Make my way downtown, but I don't think that's Natalie and Bruehli. I think that's serious. It is right

[01:21:27] Yeah, I think you're right on that. I don't know what any of those fucking names

[01:21:31] Just said but flavored windows none of these words are in the Bible

[01:21:38] But but in the Bible it says yeah to quote sir miss mix a lot put them on the glass

[01:21:43] Yeah, and the best place is green to quote the Bible once more

[01:21:48] I don't know Johnson 315

[01:21:52] Yay, and the Lord said

[01:21:55] Let there be blue razz flavored windows. I'll lick them shitters all night

[01:22:01] I know

[01:22:04] Johnson and Johnson

[01:22:07] Thanks flavored windows for

[01:22:10] Sponsor this this is a good episode you can find you can finally be a true afex twin window liquor

[01:22:21] I hate that I got it. Yeah, I was trying to think of this I kept I kept

[01:22:26] Mistaking it for other like

[01:22:28] EDM bands from that time I didn't want to say the wrong thing so I went right to Natalie and Bruehli

[01:22:36] Natalie really it's a safe safe zone. Yeah, if you look if you look the window too much your face turns into

[01:22:42] Richard D James making my way downtown like in that music glass

[01:22:53] Trying to make a parody of that I like it with looking windows. I love I love her crossing afex twin in thousand miles

[01:23:01] Love that

[01:23:04] Hey, we're back as as as our game by God. Whoa hey hi as Johnson and Johnson intended

[01:23:24] Video games that's right

[01:23:27] The next one that I have jotted down is

[01:23:30] One that I haven't played a whole lot of but I know that it's fucking good. Hey, it's it's got quite the name

[01:23:37] Castlevania the Dracula X Chronicles on PSP

[01:23:43] For those not ordained with the state

[01:23:45] I don't know where the fuck I'm going anyway for those that don't know it's it's basically

[01:23:50] It's basically Castlevania Rondo of Blood

[01:23:53] Finally localized for for us good folks here in America because originally it came out on the turbo or the PC engine CD or whatever

[01:24:02] Yeah, they completely remade its 2.5d. They added dip new stages

[01:24:07] New moves that had just a whole bunch of new shit they even

[01:24:11] Redid the the cutscenes instead of having like the cool anime cutscenes they did like like CG cutscenes or whatever

[01:24:18] They redid the music too. I I forget which sucks cuz like the PC and the PC engine CD

[01:24:25] Whatever version the soundtrack is fucking slapping. It's incredible fucking soundtracks lap. Yes amazing

[01:24:32] A song

[01:24:37] Next week I don't know when this episode is gonna air but as of this recording next week on fine time

[01:24:42] we're we're doing a music thing and one of the one of the songs my guest picked as a song from Rondo of Blood and

[01:24:47] Hell, we just oh my god. It's just one of the best songs of all time

[01:24:52] Anyway, but yeah the the music in that game is great

[01:24:54] We I think me and you and Mike talked about Rondo of Blood a little bit because on our episode we were talking about

[01:25:00] Dracula X for SNES and why people shit on that game and we were talking about Rondo of Blood

[01:25:06] Yeah, we were talking about Rondo of Blood a little bit too. And I obviously I like the SNES game

[01:25:10] That's sort of based on it

[01:25:12] But yeah Rondo of Blood on PSP was the first time we ever got that in America and trust me

[01:25:17] I was on that shit. I borrowed my friend's PSP. I didn't get a PSP till 2009 that collection came out like two years

[01:25:24] Prior to that I played hit I played the hell of his version

[01:25:27] I'm sure he was really a dad. He's fine with it. But um, but yeah, I

[01:25:31] I'd love that 2.5 D version honestly Aaron

[01:25:34] I don't even think about that game anymore because it's so locked to PSP

[01:25:38] It's never it's not even on like PlayStation plus classics or whatever

[01:25:42] Like that shit never gets re-released and I wish it would I think that's a really interesting and cool version of the game

[01:25:48] It doesn't replace the original but I think it's it's fascinating. You know, I think it should be out there is it

[01:25:54] Is Rondo of Blood on that like what's that one?

[01:25:58] PlayStation exclusive thing. It's like Castlevania Requiem or whatever that has

[01:26:02] It is yeah, it is it's like that's like the only

[01:26:06] As far as I know the only like official localized version of the original. Yeah

[01:26:11] Because I must and did it come out did it come out in the Wii Virtual Console?

[01:26:14] It did but it was not it was not it was just the original Japanese version and I have the turbo graphic CD

[01:26:19] Mini and of course, it's just a Japanese version. So yeah, they didn't translate it. No

[01:26:25] Fuck but there is a fan translation. So I mean, I mean, you know what?

[01:26:32] From what I've played of it. It's pretty fucking good. But we also in this Dracula X Chronicles

[01:26:38] You can unlock a full like fully playable version of Symphony of the Night on there and it's

[01:26:45] Like just the whole

[01:26:47] PlayStation Sega Saturn version even has some of the cool shit from the Saturn version like being able to play as Merida

[01:26:53] Fuck play be holy shit being able to play as Maria

[01:27:04] Gotta find it that's how we say it did it go I

[01:27:09] Didn't hear it. Hold on. Holy shit riverside. I need this call more than I need a hole in the head

[01:27:16] I guess it's not going

[01:27:30] Oh it will it's something really important

[01:27:32] So you can't I hate when that happens and I can't cut something out

[01:27:36] I say something really stupid my co-host makes a really great joke and it's like well fuck now

[01:27:40] I have to keep this cuz that's too funny. I can't cut this out now

[01:27:44] Yep, another Sarah Bareilles

[01:27:49] Yeah, man, it's yeah, it's a great great fucking game

[01:27:52] I just kind of almost wish they would have just well

[01:27:55] No, I guess the original version actually the original version of Rondo of Blood is also an unlockable in that game as well, too

[01:28:02] And it's like the whole original version with like the badass anime cutscenes and shit and

[01:28:09] If that game was just a little bit cheaper, I kind of pulled a joke

[01:28:15] Yeah, I

[01:28:18] Probably have it on my modded Vita. I wouldn't be surprised. Oh

[01:28:23] It's actually oh wait

[01:28:25] No, oh, what's that's oh

[01:28:28] Mccurry has one for 45. That's the cheapest one I've found so far

[01:28:38] I would never give any of them fucking scum suckers a single dime of my money ever

[01:28:44] Yeah, the yeah, the prices overall aren't terrible

[01:28:48] Yeah, but that was gonna be way more than I thought was gonna be like 140 or something. They could lick my wet butt

[01:28:55] What other handheld ports can lick your wet butt Andre

[01:28:59] This game is not wet, but this okay. So I wanted to pick a game

[01:29:05] Yeah, I wanted to pick a game that was actually better than the console original

[01:29:10] I wanted to do at least one game like that and that game for Game Boy Color is Dragon Warrior

[01:29:17] Or should I say Dragon Quest now as we we'd have it in the US now

[01:29:22] But at the time when they did Dragon Warrior one and two for Game Boy Color, it was still still called that and

[01:29:29] This was the first time I ever played Dragon Quest not the original but any Dragon Quest this pop my Dragon Quest cherry

[01:29:35] This Dragon Warrior one and two for Game Boy Color. Yeah, it's first time I ever played any of the games

[01:29:41] Because you know growing up I was not into RPGs. Like I said, I was an arcade head

[01:29:45] I didn't want to play stuff like that the first RPG ever

[01:29:48] I didn't play one till I was like 13 so it had to have been like Chrono Trigger or something like that the mid-90s

[01:29:53] I was not interested in RPGs till then so I had a lot of catching up to do and

[01:29:58] Dragon Warrior if you will on Game Boy Color is one of those games and I love it

[01:30:04] It's the best like first of all, I love that. They didn't try to like

[01:30:09] Modernize it in the ways that would make it something not Dragon Quest like yeah

[01:30:14] Okay, you don't have like the command list anymore like talk or stairs or oh, you know, whatever

[01:30:20] Like you don't have that stuff anymore or door like okay. They got rid of the command list

[01:30:24] That's the way you could modernize right because we haven't been doing that since like the 90s, right?

[01:30:28] So, okay. That's something you get rid of but they didn't try to like

[01:30:32] I don't know give you give you a big helper or something to help you from losing your

[01:30:38] Losing all your gold. Oh, no, you know what? They do have that they do have the storage thing

[01:30:43] They added the storage where you could put your gold and your items in there. That's not in the NES original

[01:30:47] I have since gone back and played the NES original and they don't have that but the Game Boy Color version does have that

[01:30:52] So that's a good I don't like to people people like to call it quality of life

[01:30:56] But to me, it's just a you know a feature an extra feature

[01:31:00] But yeah, they left Dragon Quest as it is and it feel I feel like if you play this

[01:31:07] Game Boy Color version of Dragon Warrior if you will

[01:31:10] You will not lose anything I think for me this supersedes the NES original it completely replaces it

[01:31:17] In my opinion, but the dungeon design is radically different

[01:31:23] In a way that's good. I think

[01:31:25] You have these like cuz like the original you have these very short almost like tower or Jaraga or whatever

[01:31:31] We have these like very short one

[01:31:34] Square like maze things they have to walk through a Game Boy Color version of Dragon Warrior

[01:31:39] Game Boy Color, it's a little more open, you know, and I like that about it. The difficulty is still there

[01:31:46] I think that's like the I think that's the interesting thing because I think when people take these really old RPGs

[01:31:51] They have the they have a need to make them like really easy because they thought they were overly hard before which they may

[01:31:58] Have been but I think on Game Boy Color. Yeah, it's like a smidge easier

[01:32:01] Maybe because you don't have to grind as much but you still will have to and it's still a tough experience

[01:32:08] And you still will die and think you will have to fight things that are kind of above your pay grade so to speak

[01:32:14] And so I do like that about it. The music is also

[01:32:18] fantastic definitely better than the NES version and the embellishments and

[01:32:24] Extra phrases musical phrases if you will they add to the music in this game

[01:32:29] This Game Boy Color version is excellent

[01:32:32] So to me these are like the versions of the songs to me

[01:32:36] They're the ultimate

[01:32:38] Yeah, I don't really know what else I can say about Dragon Quest that hasn't already been said over throughout history

[01:32:44] But honestly if you want to play the original game Game Boy Color is a way to go

[01:32:48] I I don't think you anyone should have played the NES version over it

[01:32:53] Have you ever played the Super Famicom version?

[01:32:56] I have not and my Japanese is probably leveled up to this point where I probably could play that

[01:33:01] I'm sure there is fan translations or whatever. But like yeah, yeah, of course. It's Dragon Quest

[01:33:06] Yeah, of course, but like yeah, no, I have not played that version

[01:33:10] Okay, cuz that version is really really good. I have the the switch version which is just like the mobile version

[01:33:17] Yeah, it's a version. Yeah, it's it's fine. It's it's not like it's not the prettiest but it plays the game

[01:33:24] It's okay and and I didn't think Dragon Quest 1 was that difficult. I don't know

[01:33:29] It could be just me

[01:33:29] I think it's just because you have your one guy and you're just focusing on him and I felt like when you're grinding

[01:33:35] It's not so much for the like the levels. It's just to get the money to get the better equipment

[01:33:39] Yes, your equipment right? Yeah. Yeah, especially compared to two two is

[01:33:44] unfair

[01:33:47] Two is a mess that way. Oh, yeah. Yeah

[01:33:51] Yeah, I just finished two and they were like it was so bad. They they debated not continuing this

[01:33:58] I

[01:33:59] To is not I told him I told him three is three is better much three is way better

[01:34:04] And that also has a really good gameboy color version as well three, but yeah, I wanted to shout out the original

[01:34:10] That's the poster right there for Dragon Warrior 3 and gameboy. Oh sure is

[01:34:14] Yeah, and I don't know if you could see I don't know if you could see it over here

[01:34:17] That's Dragon Quest 8 like I like a PS2 magazine poster

[01:34:21] I'm a bit of a fan if you could tell yep, just a just a tad

[01:34:26] Just a little bit

[01:34:28] Does does the does the gameboy color version add content for Dragon Quest?

[01:34:32] Well, it's the same story and whatever doesn't really add anything. Okay looks I know three adds like I think it adds like an extra

[01:34:39] Dungeon or two no, there's definitely it was the exact same

[01:34:42] I played the NES and gameboy color back-to-back so I really it recently so I really remember it

[01:34:47] I'm looking at a screenshot of the NES super Famicom and gameboy color versions of Dragon Warrior 3

[01:34:53] All together and man, yeah the gameboy color version looks really fucking good so much better than the NES version

[01:35:00] I think it's and if I remember and if I remember they rewrote they did a new translation for it

[01:35:06] So it doesn't have that old. Yeah, it's not the old English. Yeah. Yeah, it's just simple English, which I think is better

[01:35:13] Yeah, Dragon Quest have like me old stuff here

[01:35:16] I think it helps a little bit maximum hit points he throws by three or whatever shit like that, right?

[01:35:23] But I understand that for the time. I totally get why Nintendo who brought it over here did that but like I

[01:35:29] Yeah, I get why they made the decision for gameplay color

[01:35:32] I don't necessarily prefer one or the other though

[01:35:34] I love I did miss the when you use the item where the princess tells you shit and she says I love the

[01:35:42] Afterwards I miss the I love the

[01:35:44] Yeah

[01:35:48] Yeah, the the old English speak adds to the charm of the original Dragon Quest games

[01:35:53] But I think on Game Boy Color having the more like simple English like modern English just makes the game more

[01:35:59] I think playable especially for people who like you that was probably the first time experiencing those games in general

[01:36:05] So it made it easier for people to I was thinking about someone who's like like me

[01:36:10] I'm learning Japanese and trying to play games in a language that I'm learning someone who's learning English and playing the NES

[01:36:17] Dragon warrior if you will that old English probably will fuck them up like they

[01:36:22] Nobody stands a chance. We barely stand a chance, right? How does someone who doesn't speak?

[01:36:26] You know, like I was thinking about that. So yeah. Yeah

[01:36:31] Anyway, but yeah Dragon Warrior

[01:36:34] Speaking of ridiculous. What do you got?

[01:36:36] well, well ridiculous because

[01:36:40] I've I've talked about Sonic a million times. So why not? Let's let's keep talking about Sonic, right?

[01:36:47] so

[01:36:49] Sonic colors on the DS or as I like to call it Sonic rush

[01:36:55] It's basically the third rush game and

[01:36:58] This is the first time I had played through it

[01:37:00] I mean I wanted to play it anyway, so I played for this and god damn like this is

[01:37:06] Fantastic, you know like it's up there with the the Wii version in terms of quality and if I compared it to the rush trilogy

[01:37:13] It might be my favorite one. Yeah, you know because I mean the trick system and the rush games is fine

[01:37:19] But in colors they completely get rid of that

[01:37:22] So like you boot up you build up the boost meter just by like attacking enemies and all that which is just more normal

[01:37:28] It still has the same storyline as the the Wii version still has the same locales, but it's all 2d

[01:37:35] You still have all the wisp powers and I think they even add like some new wisp powers for this one as well

[01:37:39] And and yeah, it's just a fantastic 2d Sonic game

[01:37:45] That's super fun and just it kind of strips down what makes we colors work so well

[01:37:51] But just in a 2d format and they do add some extra stuff like there's like a bunch of random like side quests

[01:37:58] which I feel like was an excuse just to have like

[01:38:01] Every character in the Sonic universe make a cameo because each area has like three missions where it'll just be like

[01:38:08] Oh, you'll run into Espio and he'll be like, oh I bet you can't like kill 200 adabees in like two seconds

[01:38:13] And you're like that I'm gonna do that and then you do it and you don't really get anything for the missions

[01:38:19] Not really

[01:38:21] And then there's just like the two normal stages and then the boss

[01:38:25] And oh, yeah that reminds me you don't play as blaze there's no option to play blaze the cat

[01:38:29] It's just Sonic which I mean to be fair. It's not a rush game

[01:38:33] So it's I mean blazes in the game like she'll make like mission cameos, but you know, but to be fair

[01:38:38] It's not rush 3 so not having her there makes sense

[01:38:41] But that's why I was like, so I wish I really wish they'd use her more

[01:38:46] And then and then the special stages here are it's just the half pipe again

[01:38:52] But but what they do is there's like different colored balls you have to get and like you have three rounds to get a certain amount of them

[01:38:58] And so you're just controlling Sonic on the touchscreen with the stylist and you're just moving him back and forth

[01:39:02] It's super responsive, but in that super responsiveness it is pathetically easy

[01:39:08] I think I had to I think it was the very last one for the chaos emeralds

[01:39:14] I had to do the last round a second time

[01:39:17] That was it all the others. I first tried it

[01:39:20] So it sounds that does sound really easily considering the ditch of a time we have with Sonic Superstars like not too long ago

[01:39:27] Exactly, but but there there is a like the normal

[01:39:31] levels are you know some can be easier than others the

[01:39:36] Was an asteroid coaster that whole area is pretty difficult and the missions can be fairly difficult

[01:39:42] Because it's like oh if it says like oh you got to kill like this many enemies in this amount of time

[01:39:46] And they give you like just barely enough time

[01:39:48] So you are like racing against the clock and then some of them need the wisp powers

[01:39:52] To like assist you so some of those missions can be brutally difficult, and I did not finish them all I tried but

[01:39:58] You know I had other things to do, but but yeah Sonic Colors on DS

[01:40:02] Genuinely a fantastic game like a must-play DS game if you're into the the Sonic games and especially if you liked

[01:40:08] Russian Rush Adventure like this is just more of a

[01:40:11] I've always kind of known that Sonic Colors was rush 3

[01:40:14] It essentially and I just never I just never got around to it

[01:40:17] And I maybe I just forgot about it or wasn't the right time to play something like that

[01:40:20] But I yeah, I definitely should go back and and yo ho that game for sure

[01:40:27] Yeah, well, I think by like 2010 we were starting to like stop thinking about the DS and move on to like the three

[01:40:34] Yeah, so it's just kind of like

[01:40:36] I had a PSP by that time and I was like anticipating Vita and I was just not thinking about that shit at all so yeah

[01:40:42] For sure for sure and it was one of the last like few it was one of the like the last good games Dimps made in the Sonic universe

[01:40:50] Mike's turn hey Mike hi. Hi. Oh my

[01:40:55] Yeah, Mike's turn

[01:40:59] So

[01:41:01] Yeah, Mike's turn

[01:41:05] So another really popular

[01:41:07] Nintendo 64 game that probably shouldn't have got a handheld for but this one was good

[01:41:13] Change of pace for me on these so far

[01:41:16] Was battle tanks if you've ever played the battle tanks game on n64. It's like a behind the vehicle

[01:41:24] Destructathon with a really crazy story which

[01:41:27] Uh, thank dog is available in the game boy color port as well

[01:41:32] There's a virus that wipes out most of the world's population of just women

[01:41:36] So there's only a few women left and then they are kind of uh

[01:41:40] They are like celebrated but also um, if you're not one of the queen mothers like one of the head women

[01:41:46] That's running stuff. Then you're just kind of like a slave woman obviously kept for

[01:41:50] uh

[01:41:51] Breeding wow, that's kind of sounds like an incel bomb

[01:41:54] That's kind of wild man for like a tank game

[01:41:57] Yeah, if you've never played battle tanks the story is worth it. Like the the whole thing is crazy

[01:42:02] It's it's really good and I like to celebrate the uh, the apocalypse battle tanks anniversary every year

[01:42:11] But yeah the game boy color version, uh

[01:42:14] Keeps all of the stories so awesome. Um, and the music is really really good in this game too. It's like um

[01:42:20] Kind of like the ms like das like wolfenstein style music

[01:42:25] It's like foreboding and everything's on the bottom range

[01:42:28] And like it sounded really really good like almost like the game boy color had bass

[01:42:33] Which I was really excited about for uh, the time that I got to play the game which

[01:42:38] This was probably the one I played the most out of

[01:42:42] Uh the pile that we played for the show today and it was great. Um

[01:42:46] I'm not usually enamored by the game boy colored graphics, but this one looked really good

[01:42:51] The only problem I had was and it's kind of the same thing thrack was experiencing with his pac-man world was that

[01:42:58] Um perspective was really weird because you're kind of it's so this game looks more like um, if you pull it up it looks like

[01:43:05] Uh, I don't know grand theft auto like the one and two grand theft autos the playstation 1 one. So it's completely overhead

[01:43:11] Um, and then you're kind of just driving up down left right but any like building that was straight up in the air because they were trying to create that like 3d look

[01:43:18] You could drive around it. I guess is the best way to put it

[01:43:22] But because of the screwed up perspective anything that was in the foreground you couldn't drive behind it

[01:43:27] Like even though you should be able to like like you can tell that my tank fits through this alleyway if the building

[01:43:33] Is in the front of the building

[01:43:35] So I think I ended up wasting like an extra hour trying like I thought I was playing it wrong to be completely honest like I'm

[01:43:41] Like maybe this is like a maze and i'm not getting it

[01:43:43] But what I didn't understand was the the perspective that they were that they were presenting me

[01:43:49] Was correct, but they the I don't know the system

[01:43:53] Was not ready to go

[01:43:55] So I think I ended up wasting like an extra hour trying like I thought I was playing it wrong to be completely honest

[01:44:01] The I don't know the system

[01:44:03] Was not ready to let you go behind things and process, you know the tank sprites behind buildings or make the building

[01:44:13] Transparency you could see behind it

[01:44:14] So that was really really weird and hard to get used to maybe they didn't want you to do that

[01:44:19] Because like if someone was shooting at you then you couldn't see your tank anymore or something like that

[01:44:23] Or maybe it was like a I don't know that sounds so weird that they made it that way

[01:44:28] It would be too much processing power to have a little shadow, yeah

[01:44:34] That's what I was thinking it's like why can't it just be why can't it be a black dot behind this building so I

[01:44:37] Can just tell where I am instead you had to drive

[01:44:41] So there was parts where I would be like the top if you've played battle tanks. It's just a big grid

[01:44:46] Um, and most of the the missions are like destroy all the enemy tanks or collect all of this, you know resource

[01:44:53] Or whatever so I'd get to the top like right quadrant to the map thinking

[01:44:56] I was going the right direction only to realize that like I missed something to the left

[01:45:02] And then you have to drive like instead of just being able to just drive across the map like on the n64

[01:45:07] Run a bunch of cars over you had to like weave your way through a whole

[01:45:12] City to get back to where you were

[01:45:14] Like grid really messed up

[01:45:18] Sounds terrible, but it wasn't that bad. It was pretty good actually

[01:45:22] This game looks cool. Like yeah, like for some reason looking at it. It reminds me of retro city rampage

[01:45:28] I don't know. Maybe it's just like that like it's overhead, but it's like slightly slanted

[01:45:32] So it's almost like a bird's eye kind of view and that's what I mean

[01:45:35] If they would have just done straight overhead like grand theft auto then I wouldn't have been stuck

[01:45:41] They did just enough they gave you that like 15 degrees of you know off the top

[01:45:46] And yeah messed me up. Yeah. Well, I like you can run over the cars. That's a really nice feature

[01:45:51] Yeah, everything is destroyed like there's a lot of destructible landscapes and stuff too like, you know towers like

[01:45:57] Which would have been cables or like electric lines and stuff everything you can blow up or shoot

[01:46:02] And it's not an incredibly hard game. So it wasn't frustrating in any way and it really wasn't that long either

[01:46:08] But I think I spent more time

[01:46:11] Getting my bearings and then traversing things than I did like actually

[01:46:15] Chasing tanks down with missiles and stuff. It was probably only two or three hours total of gameplay

[01:46:22] But most of that was me being bad at the game, which is a recurring theme in my life

[01:46:28] It happens

[01:46:29] Well, you know what? I've learned about battle tanks. It was developed and published by the 3do company

[01:46:36] Yeah

[01:46:38] There's the most I know about 3do. We were just talking about this before the show

[01:46:44] Well, because after well because after the the the hardware part folded they kind of stayed alive as like a little

[01:46:51] Like game makers. They made like the army man games. Yeah, I just remember army men

[01:46:55] Yeah, lots of army men and and when we eventually run out of like console games for the 3do we will talk about those

[01:47:03] We will we'll get to them. Yeah, because I so i've never played an army man

[01:47:08] I have

[01:47:09] I like and especially on the m60

[01:47:12] They're not bad. I like the one I like the the one on game queue is like what sarge's assault or whatever

[01:47:18] That one's not bad. Oh really I played one on them when windows 95 as well

[01:47:22] That was like a like almost real time strategy kind of thing. Ooh

[01:47:27] Army man rts. Yep

[01:47:29] That game that game's on steam

[01:47:33] It's worth buying. I don't want to revisit that part of my past. I'm just gonna have a happy memory

[01:47:38] That's fair. That's fair. I liked it right but mike when we get to battle tanks

[01:47:43] You should come on for battle tanks. I can do that. See that. Yeah, that's that's the language

[01:47:48] I can speak to battle tanks games. Yeah, I mean this game looks fun. I'm probably gonna actually i'm probably gonna check it out

[01:47:54] yeah, it was fun and like I said if you're not you don't have to be really committed because uh,

[01:47:59] A normal video game player can get through in a couple hours

[01:48:22] Right on man

[01:48:24] so my my last pick was actually my last pick but uh

[01:48:29] Quick shout out to uh both the metal slug games on neo geo pocket

[01:48:34] Pocket color or whatever because those are really really cool

[01:48:37] Let's just the second one especially because it has some some cool like unlockable characters and shit

[01:48:42] shout out to uh

[01:48:44] It's on my shelf the final the the 3d remake of final fantasy 4 on ds. That's really fucking good

[01:48:51] the the two

[01:48:53] I guess all the dragon quest remakes for like ds and like even the 3ds

[01:48:57] They somehow fit yeah fucking dragon quest 8 on the 3ds and it's fucking awesome still insane

[01:49:04] They made a playable version of 7 so that was good

[01:49:07] more more playable

[01:49:12] They somehow trimmed like 30 hours out of the game and it's still really long. Yeah. Yeah, dude

[01:49:17] It's a fucking nightmare

[01:49:20] Power power stone on psp the power stone collection. Oh, yeah

[01:49:25] I had that I forgot they did that. Hell. Yeah

[01:49:28] What can we get power stone back capcom? What are you doing? I just tweeted that this morning

[01:49:32] Yeah, where the fuck are these fuckers? Do power stone? Uh, any of you guys got some some quick honorable mentions

[01:49:38] You want to rapid fire out?

[01:49:40] I don't know if I really have a

[01:49:43] No, I don't think I I don't think I do well

[01:49:45] I will say super mario advanced 4 super mario brothers 3

[01:49:49] A terrible title

[01:49:51] But my i'm a huge mario 3 guy like i've played beaten every version of that game at least like two times

[01:49:57] And I gotta say the gba version is the best one

[01:50:00] But if you want to play it play it on the gba nso because you get all the e-reader levels

[01:50:05] Which was there's like I think I made like 96 of them

[01:50:09] And I have an e-reader. I have a set of the cards

[01:50:11] I've done the whole like scanning to put the levels in there pain in the ass

[01:50:16] But i've done it but you can't even hold all the levels on the original cartridge anyways, so

[01:50:21] Just play that very yeah, but it's probably my favorite version of mario 3

[01:50:25] It retains the super nintendo graphics, but I think the physics on the gba are better than the super nintendos

[01:50:31] In my opinion

[01:50:33] And there's just a lot of like real nice quality of life

[01:50:35] Things that they did just to kind of clean it up and make it more consistent

[01:50:39] Overall so like whenever i'm in the mood to play mario 3 that is the version that I will play

[01:50:44] So that'll be my shout out one

[01:50:46] Oh, yeah, the two that I didn't include

[01:50:49] Um didn't get north american releases when we talked about daikatana

[01:50:52] Obviously that was japan and pal only

[01:50:55] Uh on handheld and then space station silicon valley was the same way they got a

[01:51:01] Side scrolling platformer for that game on gameboy color as well

[01:51:06] That's used to me pal

[01:51:08] I did not know that as well

[01:51:11] Whoa, dude, these are all games that like I wanted to but they deserve more time than what I had to get to

[01:51:16] Him. I mean I was gonna do quest

[01:51:19] Uh brian's journey, but somebody else wanted to do that really bad so I didn't and I could have just bagged that one

[01:51:23] And then played another game

[01:51:26] Next thing you're gonna tell me rocket robot on wheels as a gameboy color

[01:51:30] I don't think it does

[01:51:32] The lead-up to this was I went through this excruciating process because

[01:51:36] People don't do things on the internet that I want them to do but was trying to find every uh

[01:51:43] N64 port for gameboy color and there's not a list anywhere and ai didn't want to help me

[01:51:48] And like so I had to sit and pick through a list, you know, because I know the n64 games pretty well

[01:51:53] So I just picked through an entire like library of gameboy color games looking for

[01:51:59] Compatible ports or games that released in the same year so I could compare them and now i'm stuck in this like

[01:52:05] K-hole of trying to figure out what

[01:52:10] We're trying to figure out what games are actually like because there's like an earthworm gym game

[01:52:14] That came out at nearly the same time is the 3d one on the n64 but are do that are they related at all?

[01:52:19] I don't know unless I play them and it's the same with all this like duke nukem

[01:52:23] There's a duke nukem gameboy color game. It looks pretty sweet

[01:52:27] I have no idea if it has anything to do with you know

[01:52:29] Zero hour or either or the regular duke nukem 3d or if it's just its own thing like interoc 2

[01:52:37] Uh made me learn real quick that it doesn't matter even if it came out at the same time that it doesn't

[01:52:44] But yeah the the hole that i'm stuck in now with this is like i'm gonna be wound up all summer trying to figure out

[01:52:50] What games have anything to do with the n64 versions? Because the only the only way you can figure it out is playing

[01:52:58] I can't wait for the full list

[01:53:00] It's it

[01:53:01] It'll never exist because i'll just like everything else. I'll just never stop arguing with myself

[01:53:09] And that's how you end up in the k-hole. I love that. That's my favorite

[01:53:12] That's one of my favorite chemical brother songs lost in the k-hole

[01:53:15] Yeah

[01:53:16] The musical reference is on this episode. They're just outstanding. We're doing a really good job and we're going like 90s like big beats

[01:53:23] We know music. We know music

[01:53:26] Yeah, we know music

[01:53:28] Yeah, we're more than video games. Yeah, next thing i'm gonna pull out like avant-garde jazz references

[01:53:33] More than just we need we need we need rick from ppr for avant-garde jazz references

[01:53:38] I want
