Watch Right Now: Kombat Kids
Fellow All Games personality and extremely freaking talented friend of the show Ted Bracewell has created magic. It’s called Kombat Kids and as you may have guessed, it’s Mortal Kombat in animated kid form. I can’t tell you enough how great this show is and it features voices of many fellow podcast friends and guests. Drop what you’re doing and watch it now.
ChronCD Trailer
Coming October 2015!

Ongoing Series: Condemned Criminal Origins
For the October game club we are playing through Condemned: Criminal Origins. A first person melee horror game from 2005, this was a surprisingly good Xbox 360 launch window title. For those that can’t seem to get through horror games, we are providing the entire campaign in parts here with no commentary (up to 1080p as well). This is an ongoing series and this post will update as each video goes live.
Transformers: Devastation Longplay
A Transformers brawler featuring Generation 1 (ie: the original 1980s cartoon) graphics and plot that’s developed by Platinum. It’s a fantastic run down memory lane in this short, but sweet commentary free longplay.
Lost Treasures of Gaming: Pac-Man Fever
This week Syd and Sean had on Jerry Buckner of the duo Buckner & Garcia that are responsible for the 1982 hit Pac-Man Fever. It’s a fascinating listen that we highly recommend everyone check out, but given that it’s a song/album they were discussing I had to be a little creative with what game(s) to showcase. Turns out there was a game released by Namco called Pac-Man Fever and Fred checks it out. Then at the end it’s time to re-visit the classic Pac-Man and answer to Syd’s challenge.

Lost Treasures of Gaming: TechnoCop (Genesis)
This week the Lost Teasures of Gaming Podcast did not have an interviewee, but that doesn’t stop the site’s main podcast, The OMG! Hour, from featuring a Lost Treasure of Gaming. TechnoCop is a microcomputer title that was mostly known for its Amiga port that made a quite faithful transition over to the Mega Drive/Genesis. Combing gunplay with driving as a hybrid with Roadblasters and Rolling Thunder of sorts, it’s an interesting title you may not be aware of.

Ongoing Series: Rule of Rose Longplay
Rule of Rose is one of the rarest and most sought after Playstation 2 games, fetching more than $100 online. Since we aren’t even sure if the game is worth it, Fred dug out his copy to play through and check it out with the community. You can catch these broadcasts live on twitch.tv/gh101 and get notices for steams by subscribing. This post will cumulatively build to the full longplay.
Lost Treasures of Gaming: Mr. Robot and his Robot Factory
This week’s Lost Treasures of Gaming featured Sean’s favorite game growing up, Mr. Robot and his Robot Factory. Developed by interviewee Ron Rosen, this game bears a striking resemblance to Miner 2049er save for the fact that it had more than twice the number of levels and a level editor built in. This week Fred takes a stab at the platformer and does relatively well.

Retro Game Night: Mega Man Legacy Collection
The Mega Man Legacy Collection just released with the first six NES games blown up in beautiful 1080p and plenty of goodies. Fred checks out the emulation, some of the features, and proves he’s still quite terrible at Mega Man.
Lost Treasures of Gaming: Dragon’s Lair (Gameboy Color)
This week’s Lost Treasures of Gaming featured Mike Mika (some know him as “Donkey Kong Dad”) discussing one of his larger feats: porting the arcade version of Dragon’s Lair to the Gameboy Color along with his team. The feat is difficult and the result is impressive, especially when you see a 500 MB+ title reduced to 4 MB. We check it out, compare the arcade version, and die a lot.
