S2E5 - Episode 29 -- Bomberman Hero (N64) Feb 07, 2018

It's listener request time! We got an email from a fan named Kyle who really wanted us to check out this game and thought it never really got a fair shake. We live for you, the fans, so we played through (almost) all 72 levels. This is a long episode, but we felt like the game deserves it to really dig into things like "how did a race of bombermen evolve?" "How close did Lucasfilm come to suing Hudson Soft and Konami?" and "Why do the bad guys always laugh in video games?" Thanks again to Kyle for the suggestion!

We could not record from the N64, but here's a playthrough if you want to visualize the game

S2E1 - Episode 25 -- Star Wars: Masters of Teras Kasi Dec 13, 2017

It's our season premiere, and what better way to kick things off (and celebrate the release of Star Wars Episode 8: The Last Jedi) than to play a Star Wars game you probably haven't heard of! That's right, it's time to jump back into our search for gems and turds with a playthrough of Star Wars: Masters of Teras Kasi! Officially Star Wars characters, music and sound effects? A fighting game? What could go wrong? (So, so, much)

The boys bring the first season to a close with their first listener request!

S1E22 - Episode 22 -- Ghoul School (NES) Oct 04, 2017

We've arrived at Grant's final pick of season 1, and he's keeping the horror train going with Ghoul School for the NES. Imagine if everyone you went to high school were suddenly turned into monsters, and you had to battle through them with limited weapons and a pretty poor attitude. That's Ghoul School. Also, Grant's love of puns comes into play again as he makes Ian and LeRoy play a game of "Guess the shitty pun name of the enemies!" It backfires horribly. Enjoy!

Episode 0 -- Welcome to the ROM of the Week May 02, 2017

Welcome to ROM OF THE WEEK, a retro gaming podcast brought to you by three jerks named Ian, Grant and LeRoy. Before we get to the retro gaming, we're gonna take a few minutes of your time to let you know a little bit about us, and how we'll be spending an hour of your time every week. Plus, we'll be announcing the first game we'll be tackling. Don't worry, there isn't going to be a test on any of this. Think of this episode like a mission statement, or like that piece of paper in "Citizen Kane" that his buddy asked if he could have it and was all like "I think this might be important someday." SPOILER: it wasn't that important. Was important was him trashing the bedroom after his wife left. Wait, what are we supposed to put in this field again?
