Is Perfect Dark the perfect game? We join Joanna and Elvis this week for a spiritual sequel to the iconic game Goldeneye. Aliens, conspiracies, clones, A.I., and loads of cheese make this Nintendo and Rare collab another successful mission. Better weapons, more maps, and a story with more twists than a Christopher Nolan movie... Joanna had some big spy shoes to fill, so let’s load up that ammo, grab a shield, and head to DataDyne HQ to take down some baddies and see if That Game Rules!
Aliens were so hot in the late 90s... This game took tons of references from some awesome sci-fi pop culture. We talk about X-Files, Independence Day, Men in Black, and for some reason I go off on local carnivals. Even Y2K couldn’t slow down this Timewarp...
As always, I can't keep the thoughts straight and talk about a whole banana bunch of other nonsense too...

Streets of Rage 2 is at the top of a lot of “Best of Sega” lists. Some may argue it’s the best beat-em-up game of the entire 16-bit genre. But is them fighting words? Let’s punch and kick our way through another episode, while trying to answer the ultimate question: Can Sega really do what Nintendon’t? Grab that lead pipe, watch out for those spikey shoulder pads, and get ready to jam out to some amazing techno beats as we clean up the streets and try to determine if That Game Rules!
Lazers, Blazers, and all sorts of azers. We head to the 90s to talk about big hair and big action. Did you watch movies with your parents that were inappropriate for your age? We had some great violent movies back then with stars like Arnie, Stallone, and Chuck Norris. Also, the American Gladiators we’re beating people up on the small screen as well. Add in some Sega CD talk and it’s a radical, 90s good time.

Punch it, Chewie! Except, Chewie really isn’t in this game... but that’s ok. We’re talking about Star Wars today! The first home console game for the franchise that mattered, Star Wars flew into our living rooms and proceeded to promptly feed us kids our lunch, on a Death Star shaped platter. This game is hard, but is it worthy of that “NES TOUGH” title? Grab a glass of blue milk and put a restraining bolt on that annoying droid. Let’s join farm boy Luke and the gang on an 8-bit space adventure as we determine if That Game Rules!
What was happening with Star Wars in the early 90s? A whole lot, actually. The introduction of the official “Expanded Universe” would kick off a renaissance for the galaxy far, far away. New books, comics, and video games all added to the stories and lore we’ve been digesting like a sarlacc pit for years. But with great content comes the meh, as we take a look at the cartoons Ewoks and Droids. I’ve got a bad feeling about this...

Mama Mia! Time to warp back to the Mushroom Kingdom and get into the gameplay of Super Mario Bros 3. Last week was your history lesson, but today we’re strapping on that Tanooki suit and flying off to explore all the worlds, items, secrets, and Koopa Kid madness of this NES classic. I love this freaking game and so should you! Now, swing your arms from side to side, come on it’s time to go, do the Mario!
We set the scene for the 80’s and 90’s by chatting about some old movies and shows. Sending love to Pee Wee Herman and Jim Henson, talking about Trolls, Fraggles, Atari and everything else to put you back into that wood grain living room, rocking that big old tube TV. Memories are rolling hard this week!

Let's-a-go! Super Mario Bros. 3 is a game I’ve wanted to talk about since I started this podcast. I was a kid during Mario Mania and what a time to be alive. Mario 3 brought so much to the series and cemented video games into mainstream culture. It’s a Mario and Nintendo love letter of an episode, so much Mario I had to make this a 2 parter. Join us as we take the nearest warp pipe to Japan and look at the development of a game that would change history.
We’re stopping along the way to talk more Mario: Super Mario Bros Super Show, the 1993 Mario movie, Mcdonald’s Mario toys and even Nintendo Cereal. Just put it in my veins!!!!!

We join Diddy and Dixie this week for Donkey Kong County 2: Diddy’s Kong Quest. A top tier Nintendo and Rare collab, featuring some of the best platforming and music from the entire genre. We go bananas on this game, talking about all the memories, soundtrack, characters, levels, and a whole barrel of nonsense. Grab that SNES controller and hit the trails as we get into jungle madness and animal mayhem here on another episode of That Game Rules!
Stopping by 1995, we’ve moved on in school from sniffing glue to licking scented markers. I manage to waffle on about the disastrous disaster movie Waterworld, kick some fin with the Street Sharks, books made in to movies, toys made in to cartoons, and everything in between.

Reticulating Splines...
The terrain is generated and we’re ready to break down SimCity this week. From the Mac to the PC to the SNES and right into our hearts, SimCity gave game developers a brand new mechanic: Resource Management. A game you don’t “win”, with no levels, no bosses to fight and no high scores couldn’t be successful, could it? SimCity was in our houses and schools and for better or worse was educating us while we built our own little cities. Let’s join Dr. Wright and chat SimCity creation and destruction on That Game Rules!
Back in 1989, we’re avoiding the Noid to breakdown video gaming in the 80s. We also chat about Short Circuit, He Man, and Dominoes plans to get our pizzas hot and fresh in 30 minutes or less.

They’re tiny, they’re toony, they’re all a little looney. We’re diving down the rabbit hole this week with Tiny Toon Adventures on the NES. A simple game for a simpler time. Often referred to as a Super Mario 3 clone, could there be a better compliment for a game? Take your choice of Buster, Plucky, Dizzy, or Furball and let’s head to Acme Acres, where there is always plenty of stock of Anvils and giant punching gloves...
We also take a timewarp back to 1991 to talk about Ninja Turtles, Terminators, more cartoons and a weird trip talking about the Mandella Effect. Is it spelled Looney Tunes or Toons? Fruit Loops or Froot Loops? Where is your VHS copy of the Shazam movie starring Sinbad? What is with all these merging realities? As long as I live in the Mega Man timeline, I’ll be ok.

Disney, let’s talk. You already broke our hearts in the theater with The Lion King movie. Then, you release a game that will make an entire generation cry for totally different reasons. At what point does a hard game become just plain...unfair? The claws come out today, as we try to find the good in this beautiful looking game. But, looks can be deceiving. Set your controllers to stun, grab some juicy bugs to munch on, and let’s see if The Lion King ends up in the litter box once and for all on That Game Rules!
Stopping by 1994 and you know we’re gonna talk about the Lion King movie. Did you know 6 lions died while being shipped over for the artists to reference during the making of the movie? Well, that’s not true, but I do have other fun facts! Plus, an old school look at TV shows and more video games as we wander that Blockbuster aisle...

Grab your favorite color N64 controller (green), we’re talking Paper Mario today. A game that took those fancy 3D polygons and made them sit in the back row. Paper Mario and his 2D sprites may look beautiful, but even they aren’t the stars of this game. It’s the story and the charm, the world building of the Mushroom Kingdom, and of course, the friends we made along the way. Peach has the cake in the oven, let’s head off to Toad Town to get this RPG party started!
But first, we timewarp back to 2000 for a trash-talking good time. Lame toys, bad movies, and underwhelming technology will always manage to infiltrate our childhoods. Let’s riff on some old Disney straight-to-VHS and breakdown the paperweight known as the Nintendo 64DD (spelled with two “D”s).

Wario’s games are...unique. For me, Warioland 4 is like Zombie Warrior, it slipped through the cracks. So, while I never got to enjoy the GBA during its prime (being stuck in a parenting time loop), I’m here to make up for lost time. Warioland 4 shouldn’t be this good, but Wario’s gross little self has managed to make the jump from the garbage dump right into our hearts. Grab some garlic, skip the shower, and let’s answer the question: “If Warioland 4 was a booger, would I pick it?”
Plus, a tour of the past. We managed to survive Y2K and land ourselves in the middle of 2001. The 90s console wars are over, as we discuss the fall of Sega and the rise of PlayStation and Xbox. A new age of gaming is upon us, making Nintendo rethink the home and portable market. Plus, toy talk – Pogo stick vs. Razor Scooter. Oh yeah, Wario is here too, stinking up the place...

Leo, Donnie, Mikey, and Raph take the spotlight once more as we travel to the sewers to kick foot and eat pizza. This was it, this was the big moment. The arcades had finally come to our living room. Save those quarters for another day, because we’re taking a dive into TMNT II: The Arcade game for the NES. Gather around with those personal pan pizzas and let’s talk about the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles! Cowabunga!
It’s the 80’s and Turtlemania is here! We’re jamming the old intro while eating our TMNT cereal with pizza-shaped marshmallows. Turtles, pizza, and the 80’s are what made me into the man child I am today. We also fondly talk about Saturday Morning Cartoons and the non stop toy commercials they came with.

Time to ruffle those feathers... We’re talking Quackshot today because Disney, ducks, and the 90s just go together so well. Firing up the BLAST processing on the Sega today, grabbing that big, black controller and firing off plunger after plunger. Castle of Illusion, Ducktales, Aladdin, Lion King, there were lots of Disney games out there... So where does Donald land in that colorful lists of games? Well, it’s back to Duckberg again, time to let Donald shoot his shot on another terrible episode of That Game Rules!
Things we’re weird in the 90s...today we go over PEZ, collectibles, Disney VHS Clamshells, and a whole mini breakdown of the Disney Afternoon cartoons. More Sega talk, more Nintendo talk, finished off with a Quackshot walkthrough full of rambling and incomplete thoughts! Cheers!

Your mission this week: Star Fox for the Super Nintendo. Suit up and hop in that Arwing, because we’re blasting off to the Lylat system. A game so advanced, it required the use of a brand new Super FX chip built right into the cartridge. We’ve got an episode packed with trivia, bonus facts, and more puppet talk than is usual even for this show. Let’s join Fox McCloud and his team to take down Andross in a polygon filled episode of That Game Rules!
This week I hope you brought your brains to class, because it’s an educational filled timewarp. Featuring hard hitting stories from the Weekly World News as well as cameos from Beakman and Mrs. Fritz. Come and listen to what knowledge was getting dropped on us back in 1993.

Don’t have a cow man, I just can’t help talking about The Simpsons constantly. This episode we take a look at the first home release game: Bart vs. the Space Mutants... and what a game it is. This thing is notoriously tough, hard to control, the sound is repetitive and... I kinda like it. Let’s put on those X-RAY specs and see through the painful playthroughs of our childhood. It’s time to take another trip to Springfield, in whatever mystery state they live in.
More Simpsons talk in our timewarp back to the 90s. Butterfingers, BK kids meal toys, and even their own music CDs, everybody was doin’ the Bartman back then. We also talk about the old contests of the 90s, M and Ms, Fruity Pebbles (for some reason), and the infamous Simpsons House Contest. D’oh!

Metroid II: Return of Samus is a sequel that was released exclusively on the Gameboy, 5 years after the original. A direct sequel to Metroid, we see our favorite bad ass bounty hunter Samus Aran getting right back into the alien blasting action. Featuring a mazelike world in the Gameboy’s glorious green color scheme, we blast our way through Metroids, aliens, and our own sanity. Is this game worth a shot today, and how does it hold up in the Metroid series? Let’s talk space balls this week!
We talk more about the 90s and send some love over to the Gameboy’s accessories. The Gameboy Camera and her partner, the Gameboy Printer, gave us 90’s kids an early look into selfies and Snapchat filters. Plus, more movie talk, tv sitcoms, and the Gameboy games in competition for our attention that year.

Racing out from behind Mario Kart 64’s shadow is none other than Diddy Kong Racing, the best kart game on the N64 without Mario in the title. More courses, more vehicles, upgradeable weapons, boss fights, and on and on... So why is this game not talked about? N64 and Rareware gave us some of the best games of our childhood, and then they split up to the heartbreak of us all. So, hop on that hovercraft, let’s take a spin and see where things went wrong and where things went very right, with a breakdown of Diddy Kong Racing!
Before we get bananas, we have to talk about the 1900s. We sure were excited about space disaster movies in the 90s, and we take a side trip to talk about Space Jam. I have some fun talking about Christmas mornings and trying to pick that perfect game. I also vent about Lego and the lack of creativity when it comes to being a boring adult.

Holy podcast episode description, Batman! We’re talking about Batman: The Video Game for the original Nintendo. A certified NES Tough game, mixing hardcore platforming with a fun, new wall-jumping mechanic. It’s time to dance with the devil in the pale moonlight, so let’s break down this game, gadgets, and levels so tough you’ll want to turn your controller into a batarang as it soars across the living room...
Of course, we’ll discuss Batman ‘89 as we dive deep into the Batcave. We also talk about the original crime busting gangster himself, McGruff the crime dog. Who would win a fight between Batman and Inspector Gadget? What about the Dark Knight versus Samus?

Let’s crack this egg open. How do you follow a game like Super Mario World? Do you play it easy and just ship a new game with some new levels? Surely, any Mario game is going to sell and make the company money... But that’s where Nintendo and the people behind it differ. Nintendo likes to take chances and has a great track record of those chances working out in the best way. Yoshi’s Island stands as one of the best video games of all time and let me tell you all the reasons why...
We’ll talk about the history behind Yoshi’s Island and take a trip back to the 90s. We were spoiled as kids with some of the best movies and Saturday morning cartoons. I talk about old technology, video stores, and shine a spotlight on the Disney classic, A Goofy Movie.

DOOOOOOOM! A dark, scary game for a dark, scary January. Grab the BFG and let’s talk about everything that makes Doom what it is. The enemies, secrets, and the demon slaying weapons all combine to give us a Doom experience from a new perspective. Did Doom live up to the hype on the N64? What would that Doom 64 multiplayer look like? Fire up that chainsaw and get the Hell in here!
We travel along Doom’s timeline to talk about history. We discuss the OG Doom, Wolfenstein 3D, and the 2005 Doom movie. Plus, the infamous summer of “Who shot Mr. Burns?”
