**There's a slightВ buzzing sound in the intro this week. And I'll be damned if I'm gonna sit here and let anyone say anything different. Twitter: Pro-Am is not only one of my favourite games on the NES, but it's one of the best games in that iconic little grey box's library. PLUS, we have another round of 'Play One, Remake One, Erase One', featuring some retro racers - Super Off-Road, Uniracers, and Virtua Racing! And I share my initial thoughts on Metroid Dread (it's very, very good.) Someone asks how often I get 'you should play _' messages, and how I respond to them.

This week, we talked about how some games are synonymous with their creators (Hideo Kojima, specifically), and whether or not that's a detriment to the games themselves. We also touched on the fact that this was the beginning of great things for RARE as a developer, and how I didn't realize 'R.C' stood for 'remote control' until about a week ago.ДЄnd before we talk about my incompetence, it's time for another edition of the 'Remember The Game Infamous Intro'! My buddy Brad is my guest this week, and we talked about how less was more when it came to the NES sometimes, with RC Pro-Am being exhibit A for that argument.

The game is over thirty years old, and I'll argue it's as playable today as it was back in the 80's. You control a red car, you try to drive faster than blue, green and (cheating) yellow cars, and it's just a really fun experience. There's no real car customization, no multi-player, it only features one game mode, and there isn't even any in-game music, but none of that matters. RC Pro-Am is not only one of my favourite games on the NES, but it's one of the best games in that iconic little grey box's library. Twitter: show our special guest Doug Walsh some love: PLUS, we have another round of 'Play One, Remake One, Erase One', featuring some zombie-centric titles - Dead Island, Resident Evil 5, and DeadRising!

#The game i remember movie#

And with Halloween right around the corner, I reveal the one horror movie franchise I watch fairly religiously. I talk about how I balance my gaming time and what motivates me to finish as many games as I do. This week, I weigh in on Kotaku telling people they can emulate Metroid Dread already (with a guest appearance by Angry Adam). (Check out Doug's socials at the end of this description and show him some love.)ДЄnd before we talk to Doug, I squeeze in another edition of the 'Remember The Game Infamous Intro'! This is one of my favourite episodes to date, and I hope you enjoy it as much as I did. We talk about his time in the industry, some of the highlights and lowlights of his career, and he gives us an idea of what went into writing those guides we all grew up with. He wrote a fantastic book about his time as a gaming guru, The Walkthrough: Insider Tales from a Life in Strategy Guides, and he's my guest on the podcast this week. Some poor bastard must have spent days and days sitting in a room playing all those games, finding all the coins, the secret doors, the Knights of the Round materias, right? Well, we found one of those poor bastards, and he agreed to come on the show!Дoug Walsh spent eighteen years writing strategy guides, before the industry fell apart at the hands of Youtube and the internet. But did you ever think about where those guides came from?

Even if you weren't looking for tips on how to save princesses or find material, they were just a blast to read. These books were the holy grails of gaming in the 90's and 2000's. So follow us!Дid you use strategy guides growing up? Of course you did. PLUS, we have another round of 'Play One, Remake One, Erase One', featuring some of the best run and gun titles ever made - Gunstar Heroes, Contra III: The Alien Wars, and Metal Slug 3.ДЄre you on social media? Of course you are. We also get into what we'd like to see in future WWE games, and if it's reasonable to pass on the new GTA remastered trilogy if they don't include the original soundtracks. This week, I talk about what levels I hate most in games swimming, ice, or desert. It's way better than it sounds, I promise.ДЄnd before we talk Diddy Kong, it's another edition of the 'Remember The Game Infamous Intro'!

My buddy, and former Hall of Famer Mark McCue gave me a call this week, and we gushed about that time Diddy Kong and a bunch of weird animals went racing to try and defeat an evil pig (by racing him, too). The single player certainly it, at least. This game is absolutely as good as Mario Kart. I had Mario Kart 64, and damned if I was gonna waste a Christmas or Birthday present on another kart racing game (that I always assumed wasn't as good, anyway). And the reason it took so long was because as a kid, I never played it. I don't know if there's a game we've had more requests to cover on the podcast than Diddy Kong Racing.
