It is time for more Pokémon. I cannot get enough of this series. This time we are talking about the Pokémon trading card game. I played this to death when I was a kid and now that it is on the NSO, it gave me the perfect excuse to play it all over again. This week I am joined by the great Jake Macauley, my brother from another mother. Will we obtain the legendary cards???

We have reached episode 200!! I cannot believe we have got this far. To celebrate this, we are doing one of, if not, the best game of all time, The Legend of Zelda - Ocarina of Time for the N64. This is long episode...I think our longest by a mile. I am joined by good friend Richard Jago, the host of the Watchers Rewatchers podcast. Grab your Master sword and your ocarina...and let's dive in.

Dino Crisis....Resident Evil with Zombies. Let's be honest, it is the easiest way to describe it. I played this as a kid, after my brother was done with it. So I decided to bring my brother, Phil, to talk about our memories growing up and have a good old chin wag about Regina and friends.

Today on the show, me and Richard Jago from the Watchers Rewatch podcast attempt to play Shining Soul, a prequel game from the Shining Force series. The problem was, I liked Shining Force but I hate this with a passion. I am pretty sure Richard hates it as well.

This has been a bit late but we are off to war once more. This time we are playing Advance Wars - Dual Strike, the third game in the series. Yes, I forgot the second one. This week I am joined by Storm Beagle from the Retrotopia podcast. Both of us struggled with this game because believe me, it is tough.
