That Game Rules!
I’m your host Scuba Steve and thanks for checking out my mediocre podcast!
Every week here we pick a nice ol’ retro video game.
We’re gonna travel back in time, we’ll talk all the movies, shows and toys that surround that game.
Then we’ll get into the game - go over the vitals, box art, characters, levels, music, check out some comments and reviews and a whole bunch of other stuff.
At the end we’ll give this game some awards, slap a ranking on this thing and determine once and for all if that game rules!
Thanks again for listening!

It’s Mega Man time! We got special weapons, Rush, Proto Man, and all the sprite flickers and slowdown you can manage. Let’s talk levels, robot masters, and the amazing music of another legacy NES game. Is Mega Man 3 better than Mega Man 2? Can you handle all the Mega Man tracks I play during the episode? We’ll break it all down in another buster blastin’ episode of That Game Rules!
We stop by the 90s because it was awesome! Jerry! Jerry! Jerry! We talk movies, cartoons, and breakdown the Consumers Electronics Show. A Game Gear prototype? Shut up and take my money!
And of course, I can't keep the thoughts straight and talk about a whole bunch of other nonsense too...
Let's waste some more time this week on the worst gaming podcast on the internet!

“Where’s my zombies and all my dogs? Throw them hands up and show some love, and I welcome you to Racoon City, I said welcome to Racoon City.” Stock up your ammo and ink ribbons and run, walk, or limp though this episode as we dissect the horror masterpiece Resident Evil 2. This game gives me all the feelings and was hard to cram into an hour episode, so I didn’t - I just keep talking, but we manage to show this game some love. Enjoy the zombie filled episode, Happy Halloween!
We take a trip in time back to 1998. The console wars had evolved as the Sony Playstation and Nintendo 64 battled for our attention. Digital toys were hitting the market and CG shows and movies were hitting the screens. And we talk lots more zombies!
And of course, I can't keep the thoughts straight and talk about a whole bunch of other nonsense too...

An epic story about a knight named Arthur and his never-ending quest to find pants! I love a good, challenging game that rewards you while feeding you your lunch. Our brave hero travels beyond graveyards, haunted castles, demonic dungeons, and a journey through the ghoul’s stomach itself. This game is tough but looks good doing it. Let’s break down Super Ghouls ‘N Ghosts on the Super Nintendo! Super!
Let’s talk 1991, a time before the internet and memes. A simpler time, filled with Blockbuster video, public payphones, and curfew was when the streetlights came on. We talk Mcdonalds Halloween, Captain N, Goosebumps books and whole lot more.
And of course, I can't keep the thoughts straight and talk about a whole bunch of other nonsense too...

This week’s episode is on the amazing NES classis Castlevania. A legacy game that spawned sequels across generations, comics and lore, a Netflix series, and a story that continues to this day. This game spawned its own genre of video games, and it all began with a vampire hunter named Simon Belmont. Watch out for those Medusa heads! Let’s go over this whole game and more on a monster mashing episode of That Game Rules!
It’s Halloween in 1987! We go over some old scary movies, talk about some of the more dramatic lines of TMNT figures, and we talk lots of vampires. Grab your stakes and garlic, avoid the stairs, and let’s get spooky this week!
And of course, I can't keep the thoughts straight and talk about a whole bunch of other nonsense too...

A long time ago, in a basement far, far away... Star Wars: Shadows of the Empire from the N64 on a nice CRT tv. This game took a chance with a new character and story placed within the Star Wars universe we know and love. Let’s dive into Dash Rendar’s story and talk about bounty hunters, wonky N64 controls, wampas, and some of the best music in Star Wars gaming. Punch it, Chewie!
We stop by 1996 and talk about more Star Wars. Star Wars books, Star Wars comics, speaking of Star Wars, The Star Wars Holiday Special was great wasn’t it? We check out some Toys R Us exclusives, daydream about the Sega Saturn, and discuss another edition of dad movies.
And of course, I can't keep the thoughts straight and talk about a whole bunch of other nonsense too...

This week we head back to the Gameboy to play a Top 3 All Time Gameboy game, Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins. We’ve got some sweet new mechanics, new power-ups, and the introduction of a certain mustachioed villain. Let’s jump, swim, and fly our way through another Mario adventure here at That Game Rules!
We also take a fun trip to 1992. You’ve got the NES and SNES, but did you ever get the NCS? Plus, we talk old movies, a Super Gameboy breakdown, and my special guest won’t shut up about some other nonsense. NIN-TEN-DO!
And of course, I can't keep the thoughts straight and talk about a whole bunch of other nonsense too...

If it doesn’t say Micro Machines, it's not the real thing. Well, we get real today and talk about a top tier 3rd party NES game. Unique vehicles and playstyle, a variety of tracks, plus a popular toy brand to ride off the road with. Nintendo tried to keep this one off the shelves, bunch of bullies... We break down this game, the Game Genie, and a whole lot more on another episode about a high-quality game on a low-quality podcast!
We also take a trip to 1991 and I’m sure gonna talk about Micro Machines. Plus, we get into the Stone Protectors, more mom movies, Simpsons video games, and more sweet, sweet Mega Man sounds.
And of course, I can't keep the thoughts straight and talk about a whole bunch of other nonsense too...

An episode 65 million years in the making, and no we’re not talking about Jurassic Park. Well, I talk a little Jurassic Park. I freakin’ love Jurassic Park...Anyways. Today's episode is on Turok: Dinosaur Hunter for the N64. A perfect way to showcase the 3D capabilities of the brand-new, shiny Nintendo 64. OK it was more matte grey than shiny, but you get it. This game mixes the prehistoric with futuristic, dinosaurs with aliens, and an array of weapons to vaporize them all. Let's get primeval and grab your Tek Arrows because we’ve got T-rexes with frickin’ lazer beams on their heads to take care of! DINOSAURS!
We also stop by 1997 and talk about a whole bunch of dumb stuff. Did you ever get your membership status at the BK Kids Club? What’s your opinion of Turok versus some other 1997 games like Doom and Quake? And I talk about the Lost World, Jurassic Park. DINOSAURS!
And of course, I can't keep the thoughts straight and talk about a whole bunch of other nonsense too...

Nintendo. Disney. Capcom. When these 3 get together, it’s usually a pretty good time. Today, we’re taking a magical carpet ride to the 90s and talking about Aladdin for the SNES. I played this game a ton back in the day. We’re gonna break down the game, talk about this Disney classic across multiple systems, and just show Robin Williams some love. So come on down, stop on by, hop a carpet and fly, to another episode of this dumb podcast!
Let’s stop by 1993 and talk movie theater memories! The Timewarp is full of goodies – Panasonic 3DO – Aladdin trivia – Mighty Morphin Power Rangers - POGS. What other sweet Super Nintendo games were you renting back then?
Surprise, I can't keep the thoughts straight and talk about a whole bunch of other nonsense too...
