Timecop! That’s right, it’s all one word so say it quickly. Does this SNES game look like the 1994 Jean Claude Van Damme? No? Well, we assure you that is the movie that it’s based on.

Outlander. So here is the thing, this is the Mad Max 2 game for SNES. Why isn’t it called Mad Max? Reasons. Outlander. Licensing. All that jazz.

Of course there are tons … Continue reading → The post Ep. 781 – “Outlander” for the SNES…

Which isn’t a lot but it’s weird it happened twice” sort of things. We talk about the controversial … Continue reading → The post Ep. 770 – We Are The Power Company N…

Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein is the latest in our SNES movie games series. So we dragged out the 1994 film alongside the game to get the full experience. Aaaand it was all quite the experience.
