People have been bugging me to review Rocket Knight Adventures for years, and now that I finally have, I get why. This is one of the finest 16-bit platforms I've ever played. One of those Genesis games that makes me jealous as a Super Nintendo kid.
You control a possum in a suit of armour with a sword and a rocket pack, and you fight pigs as you travel from a village to outer space. I...well...it makes sense when you play it. Kinda. The controls are crisp and the rocket pack mechanic really takes the gameplay to the next level. Great variety between stages, an awesome soundtrack, sharp graphics, and it's the way all retro games should be: tough as fuck. I love this game.
I crossed the retro podcast streams this week and asked Captain N of the Retrotopia podcast to join me, and we spent nearly an hour singing the praises of this possum and his adventures. I can say this game is a lock for my top 10 Genesis games now, and it's knocking on the door of the very exclusive top 5 club...
And before we rocket away, I put together another edition of the Infamous Intro!
This week, someone asks what my favourite part of RTG is? Are there too many rouge-like card combat games these days? And if I could host one major TV gameshow, which would it be?
Plus we play another round of 'Play One, Remake One, Erase One', too! This one features 3 of my all-time favourite Genesis games: Shining Force, Gunstar Heroes, and Streets of Rage 2.

It's pretty well known that I'm a diehard Mega Man fan. But it took me over 20 years to finally play my first Battle Network title. I'm not sure I loved this game, but I'm a pretty big fan of what the franchise is trying to do.
If you've never played it, it's a tactical RPG spin on classic Mega Man. You play as a grade 5 student trying to save the world from computer viruses (and Dr. Wily of course), and you do it with your MegaMan.EXE program. The game is split between over world traversal and tactical combat, and while navigating the game's maps drove me crazy, the combat system really peaked my interest. I'll play more of these games at some point, no doubt about it.
Long-time hot dog and power mad Discord mod, Keegs, is my guest this week. We both agreed that there's a great concept for a Mega Man game here, even if the execution is a little flawed. I think you can say the same about the first mainline Mega Man game, and that ended up working out ok...
And before we jack-in, I put together another edition of the Infamous Intro!
This week, someone asks if I've ever played the Mega Man ZX games? Does anyone else regularly fall asleep while gaming?? And what if Link to the Past had been on the NES??
Plus we play another round of 'Play One, Remake One, Erase One', too! This one features 3 of Metacritics highest scored GBA RPGs: Golden Sun, Tactics Ogre, and Fire Emblem.

The Rambling Idiot - Molly
I'll warn you right now: this one is a tear-jerker. We had to put our dog, Molly, down this month, and I wanted to wrap the year up talking about her legacy and how much we love that dog. No ads on this one, but you might not want to listen at work if you're a crier. Have a great holiday, show your pets some love, and we'll see you in 2025.

Expansion Pass #140 - Sonic Frontiers Spoiler-Free Review
Apologies for the lack of RTG, hot dogs. I'm taking a little time off for the holidays. Fortunately, we have a Patreon archive of about 1000 episodes to draw from, so you still get your profanity-laced fix. Sonic Frontiers is the open-world Sonic game that released a couple years ago, and it just got added to PS Plus. So it seems like the right time to open this review up to the world and let you know why I didn't love this game, but you still might. Enjoy the episode, thanks for the support, and see you in 2025!

À propos de Remember The Game? Retro Gaming Podcast
Comedian Adam Blank hosts "Remember The Game?", a retro gaming podcast. Each week, Adam and his guest will select a video game that they grew up playing, and spend time reminiscing about what they loved (or hated) about it. Not intended to be a history lesson, "Remember The Game?" is more like a conversation you'd overhear on the playground as a kid. The discussions are all over the place, and are guaranteed to fill you with that warm, nostalgic feeling. (Or rage, like you felt with the underwater level in the original Ninja Turtles game). Either way, it's gonna be fun! New episodes every Wednesday!
