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!

Remember The Game? #69 - Twisted Metal (1-4)
Over the last 69 (nice) episodes of this podcast, we've stumbled across a couple forgotten franchises, and it's really made me sad that they seem like they're just destined to wallow in the obscurity…

Remember The Game? #68 - Sim City (SNES)
I can't believe how many people played this game back in the day. It's awesome, but it's also kinda nerdy, even by video game standards. It's slow, quiet, there's no bad guys (except the ridiculous c…

Remember The Game? #67 - Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door
We all know that Nintendo has this weird hobby of taking their phenomenal catalog of older games and making it as hard as humanly possible to play them. That's precisely what they've done with Paper …

Remember The Game? #66 - Sonic The Hedgehog 2
Whenever I talk a Genesis game on the show, I feel like I'm doing my part to help re-build the bridge that Nintendo and Sega kids burned down in the 90's. And honestly, I'm really enjoying most of th…

Remember The Game? #65 - Sega Genesis Mini Review
If you didn't grow up playing the Sega Genesis, is the new mini adaption of it worth your money? That's the question I set out to answer on this week's podcast. Not only did I not own a Sega Genesis…

Remember The Game? #64 - Shinobi III: Return of the Ninja Master
Shinobi III: Return of the Ninja Master (Shinobi III moving forward, that title is too long) is what retro gaming is all about. The graphics, the music, the gameplay, the difficulty. It nails it. I p…

Remember The Game? #63 - Virtual Bart
When I launched this podcast, my idea was for my guests and I to reminisce about the games we played as kids. Both good games, and bad. It's taken 63 episodes, but we're dipping into the really bad e…

Remember The Game? #62 - Resident Evil 4
Now, I don't throw around the word "masterpiece" very often. But this game? This game is a masterpiece.
It's freaking Resident Evil 4. Practically a lock to show up on any respectable 'greatest gam…

Remember The Game? #61 - Pokemon Snap
The fact that we haven't seen a Pokemon Snap re-release, remake, or sequel on smartphones, the Wii U, or the Switch is almost mind-boggling. And then you remember it's Nintendo... We all played this…

Remember The Game? #60 - Video Game Collecting
"My name is Adam Blank, and I'm a recovering retro game collector."
I love looking at video game collections. I used to love collecting them myself, too. But it can be an expensive hobby. It takes …

Remember The Game? #59 - Street Fighter II
We're finally making our way into the arcades. Admittedly, I didn't really live near one growing up, so my experience with stand up cabinets is pretty minimal. And while I don't have a ton of playtim…

Remember The Game? #58 - WCW/nWo Revenge
Remember when World Championship Wrestling was the hottest thing on the planet?
In the late '90s, WCW was giving the WWF the fight of their lives. The nWo(s), Goldberg, Sting, DDP, Raven, Bret Hart,…

Remember The Game? #57 - The Simpsons Hit & Run
Yep, it's another Simpsons game. At least this is the good one!
The Simpsons: Hit & Run is pretty universally considered the best video game adaption of The Simpsons. Sure, you could make an argumen…

Remember The Game? #56 - Final Fantasy II (IV)
**The sound may be a little off on this week's podcast. I suggest using headphones if you can. Sorry about that!**
I know, I know. It's Final Fantasy IV. The box says II, and the people that know, k…

Remember The Game? #55 - Marvel: Ultimate Alliance
Look at me, being all topical and professional and stuff. Marvel: Ultimate Alliance 3 comes out this Friday, so I thought it would be a perfect time to dedicate an episode to one of my favourite game…

Remember The Game? #54 - NHL '94
As much as it pains the loyal, completely biased Nintendo fanboy in me to admit, Sega had better sports games than Nintendo. Case in point? NHL '94.
That isn't to say the SNES version is unplayable…

Remember The Game? #53 - Spider-Man & Venom: Maximum Carnage
Spider-Man is awesome. Venom is even more awesome. Carnage isn't quite as awesome as either of them, but he's still pretty awesome. So what happens when you take all that awesome and squeeze it into …

Remember The Game? #52 - Super Mario Bros. 2
Super Mario Bros 2 is the oddball of the NES Mario Bros games. Along with Super Mario Sunshine, it's the oddball of the entire Super Mario series. But you know what? I like oddballs.* *I rewrote that…

Remember The Game? #51 - Shining Force
One of my favourite things about doing this podcast is that I'm discovering new retro games all these years later. Particularly when it comes to Sega. You're going to see more Genesis love in year 2 …

Remember The Game? #50 - Super Mario 64
I can't believe we've made fifty episodes of this train wreck of a podcast! And speaking of train wrecks, today we're talking Super Mario 64! (Just kidding!)
Kind of. I won't lie to you, loyal read…
