Ash and Cliff look at the magazine this months core episode was stuck to the front of with the debut issue of the son of Super Play: N64 Magazine! 90s console tribalism is at an all time high and the issue captures the highs and the lows of this period of N64 gaming.
Plus: Cliff plays Mastermind, whether he wants to or not.

N64Life is t-t-t-t-t-taking over! Before Cliff meets his little furry makers in May, N64Life is taking over with a cluster of episodes based around 64-bit console entry. To kick off the month we're looking at the promotional VHS tape that came with the first issue of Super Plays' spiritual successor N64 Magazine.
Cliff is overjoyed at this turn of events, Ash is regretting it before the record button has even been pressed, and Ocean forgot to send any actual footage of their game. It's going to be great.

The Listeners have spoken, the votes have been tabulated, and now Ash & Cliff will run down the top 4 in each category before revealing the overall winners.

It's fine.

It's time for the climax of GameCenter CX's 10th Anniversary season with part two of Arino taking on Nosferatu!
Ash and Cliff rejoin Arino after a few weeks as he shakes off some game-rust and proceeds to make all the same mistakes he did last time. Even if he makes it to the end, will the game have a satisfying pay off?
There's also claw machines, punching games, and one final look at Sega's SG-1000. PLUS! Cliff gets to hear more of his favourite song.

For this months focus we go back to the beginnings of Sega in the home market: The SG-1000! And the SC-3000! And it's a lot like the Colecovision!
Ash and Cliff dive into a story full of misdirection, misreporting, and occasionally legitimate Japanese businessmen.
Also: Sound Effects.

It's the finale of GameCenter CX's 10th Anniversary season, and they're ending on a two parter!
Ash and Cliff join Arino as he tackles Nosferatu for the Super Famicom, a game he knows nothing about but which seems strangely familiar.
There's also fresh seafood, pensioners with zero sense of personal space, and Cliff gets a new favourite song.

An old friend returns to UCP with Starcade from 1984, although this time there's a new host who actually gives a toss about the games being played!
Promotional consideration has not been paid for by any of the companies in this episode of Starcade, but that doesn't matter because Ash & Cliff will talk about them anyway! Also, there are games! Xevious! Millipede! Wacko! More Wacko! Also... Wacko!

Ash and Cliff step up to the Oche for a super, smashing, great time with the 1992 Bullseye Christmas Special. Jim's got special lips, Tony Green has an ego, and all of the special guests are on the lash. But it's fine, it's all for CHARITY!

It's off to the land of Abba, Ikea and other less stereotypical things as your hosts visit Sweden in December 1992! Ash learns all about Nintendo in in the Nordics with the story of Bergsala from his old friend Andy (aka Tamagon64) whilst Cliff flopps on some meatballs. Then Cliff and Ash listen to frustrated teenagers try to play Street Fighter 2 with touch tone phones. It goes about as well as you'd expect. Have fun, bye-bye!

Lets talk about MSX baby, let's talk about Z80, let's talk about all the good ports and the bad ports that may be, let's talk about MSX as Cliff and Ash look at the Japanese standard that almost could, and sometimes did, but then didn't, and still even now, 40 years later will not die. We also highlight some of our favourite games we've played, and reveal the ultimate Pac-man clone!

It's November 1984! Thatcher! Coal Miner Strikes! Band Aid on the Horizon! And the BBC is doing a new tv show about 'computers'. They'll never catch on. Ash and Cliff settle down for the second episode of 'Micro Live', where we see the new MSX computer range, a man purchases a computer in Croydon, Lesley is obsessed with people damaging their floppies, and a con-man talks to us about American telecoms. This is actually way more entertaining than we're making it sound.
There might even be some discussion of pornography.

Originally St1ka was meant to be joining us on our core CyberMaster episode for October, however scheduling did not allow it... until now!
Ash sits down with St1ka to talk about growing up a gamer in 90s Portugal, Famiclones, the fall of Sega, the rise of Sony, the non-appearance of Nintendo and of course, CyberMaster itself.

Hello Joe! We dive into one of the early titles that helped define what the Sega Megadrive could do and also created a franchise it's The Revenge of Shinobi/The Super Shinobi! We dive into the making of the game, take a look at some of its design choices and cover a timeline that ends up having more in common with Back to the Future than it does the American Ninja craze of the 1980s. Go-Ninja-Go-Ninja-GO!

He's a big giant head that's HUNGRY! It's Portugals CyberMaster, and he's fighting the survivors of humanity, which appears to be children and adults in fetish wear, and this is the version they watered down for Series 2!
Ash and Cliff venture into Europe for a show that is as much Eurotrash as it is GamesMaster and spend time in an alternative reality where Sega won the console wars, and we all suffered.

O' Canada! Our... well, not the home nor native land of Ash and Cliff, but it's certainly a cool place to be! UCP takes a trip north of the border for the debut episode of The Electric Playground from 1997. Your hosts look at footage from E3, press junkets from Namco, and have their first 'on podcast' experiences with the cult of personality that is Tommy Tallarico, and his opinions on game difficulty and StarFox 64.
