Who doesn’t remember blowing into NES Carts to get them to work, having to shove another tape in the machine to jury rig the thing. to get that miraculous connection and still be able to play Duckhunt. God forbid your sibling bumped into the system while you were on the last level of SMB3, no save points people. Start over every time…
Gamer’s fondly remember the land of no saves, like older adults remember a land with no cell phones. When you’re out, you’re out, try again later. If you’re done you’re done, try to beat mean old Bowser another time.
This game is nothing like that, in fact this is a breathalyser. 8 bit style. Complete with Hi scores, and a Cart based, mouthpiece. So no LANparties can be safe. When everyone drives home you have to try the NES first.
8Bit graphics, Hi Scores? This is sure to be a hit at the next geeky frat to throw a game of square root beer pong. All of the drunk levels are based on animal puns too! Sew Bear, Party Kitten, Buzzy Bee, and something about getting froggy. Awesome! and add in the Alco-Hall of Fame. Elite Geek Party maneuver.

Huge thanks to my co-host from the last episode, it turns out that was one of the better received episodes I’ve had in quite a while. Today;s show is jam packed with great stuff from front to back. We have a ton of retro content, both old and new, old made new, new working with old. Sound like gibberish? I promise it will all make some sense after the show. We’ll be heading back into the realm of 8 bit games, dealing with new ways of enjoying them, honoring them and playing with the characters from them.
But the show is more than just a collections of memories made current. Its also all about the cool things happening right now, enjoy the Bacon, and feast on the hubris.
Enjoy the show and Stay Caffeinated!
