I wish I knew what Andrew was up to today. Josh Resnick & his wife are thriving. They own Sugarfina, and a few more businesses. I miss Pandemic Studios. Their games were fantastic but Star wars, Destroy all Humans 1-2, & Mercenaries 1-2 were just perfect at the time. I love how in destroy all humans 2, if a human saw you, sometimes they'd say "Omg its Charles Manson!!" 🤣 but my fav game by them will always be Mercenaries 1. It was just too good at the time!!

If you haven't seen it, look up "Pandemic Studios visit by Gamereactor." It's nostalgiac and at one point they hint at a GI Joe game that they might have eventually made if they never got shut down🤷♂️

Yyyyea, dude. Reviews like this are meaningless. You had to be there. Altered Beast was cutting edge at the time. It's a classic. It's context, also. This reminds me of a recent Pamela Anderson video. Pamela is like any other broad today, but Pam was a big deal because she was before OF, before IG, before twitter, before smart phones, before high-speed internet. Altered Beast was a launch title for the Sega Genesis, which was the beginning of the 16-bit era. It was like nothing before. You're crazy.

Very cool! 7:21 I really need to make time to play Phantasy Star 8:44 y'know I hear this and think, "who would have a big problem with that?" but then I remember, "oh yeah, MY MOM!" My mom would have lost her crap in the 80s or even early 90s if one of my games had farting at all. 11:35 I plan to game at 61 😀I wanna keep that youthfulness decades too long, haha 13:21 now I wanna try out Elf, just to see how bad it is, lol 15:13 that is some seriously useful knowledge. Imagine you wanna make a simple card game. How do you make the cards? How do you make the box? How do you distribute and sell it? So many layers! 18:15 see, this is the value you provide! You know the right questions to ask to get nuggets of insider knowledge that we just don't have in the zeitgeist 19:10 wow! That would have been awesome! Terminator really was HUGE! 21:28 Ultima was an amazing franchise! It is a little hard to go back to today, because of the quality of life features that don't exist, but they are still cool 22:33 Uh oh, Tiger's gonna fight you over Zillion, haha Excellent interview as always!

Ugh, I wish I could play every game for a console before it was on the market. I'm putting that on my resume. "I'm good at video games" It really is an exciting opportunity for him to have influence on which games were released or tweaked. Yes, you do. Phantasy Star is a universal top 5 game on the Master System. LOL just from what I've heard about your parents, I do think she would have a problem with the farting blue skulls. We will be playing games until they put us in our graves! Alf is... just wow.. it's based on the 80s TV Show and it's a mess. Tonka and Sega butted heads a ton. It sounds like they needed each other though. Haha, Opa-Opa was too girly to be the mascot for Sega in the United States. I feel like no one knows that fact about Arnold and Sega. I was proud of that little info nugget. Ultima might not have quality of life features, but it does have morals! I would fight to the death for Zillion! Thanks for listening and supporting buddy.

I like this one because is very straightforward: beat demons up, and save the girl. I think this game is stuck in a rollercoaster: when debuted, it was in a high because it was awesome to play Altered Beast at home; then, when newer 16-bit games got out, it fall into a low because it was a lame game; but now, it raised into a high again, because you can sit in front a TV and beat a fun game in half a hour.

Have to disagree. It was fun when it came out, played it when my brother got it with his genesis. Huge plus, the game was free at first. Second, the game gets harder as you play through each time (not sure about a cap). Co-op was great so you missed a huge part of playing. Golden Axe is better in co-op as well. Plus as a port from the arcade, no quarter munching. It was a launch title so yes it's short, but for the time it was definitely awesome.
