Hey everybody, I want to apologize for putting this post up late today. I was up rather late last night feeding my Mogwai after midnight and, well, I'm pretty sure you can guess what happened after that.
Since then, I have pretty much rectified the situation. Did you know that San Francisco has its own Gremlin removal service? Me niether. Must be because of all the strange shops in Chinatown and their questionable products.
Regardless, enjoy the latest effort from the RFGO! crew and our meandering thoughts on all things retro.
Highlights!
- Topher is aggro, needs Slurpee badly
- .tiff has an Adventure Game gland?
- Vietnam and Muppets, I really can't say anymore
- Resident Evil 5: Duckburg. Scrooge vs. Zombies FTW!
- Earthbound's scratch 'n sniff stickers cause brain damage
Also, I want to say thanks to everyone for listening, and we hope that you guys don't get too mad at us this week. This week's show really is the longest show ever. Make sure to have something to eat handy before you check us out on the podcast page.

Be smart, funny, insightful, clueless, or cute -- but back it up with substance. Keep your cool, keep it fun. We only ask that you act respectfully and above all: don't be a troll and ruin it for everyone else. Don't bring down gamers or we'll, you know, gently shoot you in the face and stuff you into a flaming mailbox. Each comment is your opportuntity to make this community awesomer. Is that even a word?
Avoiding the banhammer only requires common sense: spamming, trolling, racism, NSFW stuff, and other forms of sucking will not be tolerated. If anyone is griefing please report abuse. Be good. Don't suck!
Contest:
Been going through all the old ones, and you guys seem to be sorely lacking in diversity. Nobody that's played old PC or strategy games? Half of you use Macs?? Come on. You're like the Power Rangers with too many Red Rangers ;O.
And I sound like I'm complaining, but I just like to focus on the negative coz' I'm emo like that. Also because I played mostly the same games. I'm still gonna cut a bish for thinking Final Fantasy Adventure is a FF game (unless you were getting mixed up with FF: MQ, in which case, double cuttings).
Now that it's downloaded, time to find the contest at the end and fail! =D
They won't team up, they're rivals. Don't you remember ClayFighter 63 1/3? Oh, wait, nobody does? damn
Wow, and I thought I sucked at paying attention. Didn't we spend a good couple of minutes explaining that it wasn't a FF game? o_O
Then again, I did the same thing to someone else with my CT cart.
-Bionic Commando is available on the GBA in Capcom Classics Mini Mix, and there was a Game Boy Color sequel/remake put out by Nintendo.
-Blaster Master had a Game Boy sequel, Blaster Master Boy, and a Game Boy Color remake/sequel, Blaster Master: The Enemy Below.
-There's a Wii remake of Rygar- actually, I guess it's just a Wiimake of the PS2 one.
-River City Ransom got a decent remake on the GBA.
-Clayfighter 63 1/3 had a "Sculptor's Cut" exclusive Blockbuster rental version that added characters who were cut for time from the original release; sadly, I don't believe Hobo Cop was one of them.
-Kid Icarus is indeed not as great as everyone (myself included) remembers, but the underworld music kicks so much ass and the first level is pretty cool, and that's about as far as almost everyone got because falling to your death is so easy. That's probably why all the love, and the 8uuuuu etc. password let people feel badass by skipping to the end. The Game Boy sequel is a tad better because falling off the bottom of the screen and dying no longer happens.
-The DS zombie game is "Touch The Dead" and it's not related to House Of The Dead in any way, different developer, not published by SEGA.
Also, the Space/King/Police Quest and Leisure Suit Larry games all have $20 collections out with all or nearly all of the games in each series.
Also I had the GBC version of Bionic Commando. It was pretty sweet, but something was fubared with the cart, and it would always freeze are zone 7 or something =<
Got it "repaired" at a Nintendo Service Center (prolly just a replacement, but nyah), so I still "have" the same Game Boy since I was 4. Mind you I have NOTHING left that runs on it anymore except Tetris, Link's Awakening, and a Game Genie I got on clearance from a Radio Shack.
Man I get sad when I think of all the old games I've foolishly let go...
Also, can't wait to listen to this episode at work tomorrow =D.
Then, please... let it go. We know.
Where's the sequel to this neglected franchise? C'mon Nintendo!
Have you guys heard of Meet the Feebles, a film by Peter Jackson, the guy who directed Lord of the Rings? Its like this really twisted version of the Muppets where they take drugs, have sex and kill each other. It also includes a flashback to Vietnam! Even though the budget ran out, they wanted to make Muppets in Vietnam so bad, they made a fake film called Frogs of War and spliced it into Meet the Feebles. Enjoy!
Anyway, I'm at work and don't have Flash installed, but I'm pretty sure this is the right scene, so...
Muppets in Vietnam
Meet the Feebles is an amazing movie. The sodomy song is so great
Um. How are you so awesome?
You're right. :)
Don't let it happen again. I expect at least double the amount next week.
entrager: I agree. There was a definite lack of amaaaaazing this week.
A New Challenger:
-Blaster Master had a Game Boy sequel, Blaster Master Boy, and a Game Boy Color remake/sequel, Blaster Master: The Enemy Below.
ORLY? Wasn't aware of that. Were the any good?
-There's a Wii remake of Rygar- actually, I guess it's just a Wiimake of the PS2 one.
It'll probably suck, but we'll see. I just want a 2D remake :P
-River City Ransom got a decent remake on the GBA.
[/b]We know, Rev said it was ass.[/b]
-Clayfighter 63 1/3 had a "Sculptor's Cut" exclusive Blockbuster rental version that added characters who were cut for time from the original release; sadly, I don't believe Hobo Cop was one of them.
Chad?
-The DS zombie game is "Touch The Dead" and it's not related to House Of The Dead in any way, different developer, not published by SEGA.
Did not know!
By the way, nobody has won the contest yet. Was it too hard?
Also Wave Race 64 is the best. I remember when I was anxious on Christmas Eve's and I would just mess around in Dolphin Park practice mode (sometimes on the dolphin c.c) until I passed out. I was like, trying to "grind" the ramps, and do half barrel roll, double flip flatspins.
Mostly coz' like Chad said, the game had fucking awesome physics, better than the GC sequel even.
And the RCR for GBA wasn't "ass", it was just kind of more like a tech demo product. It had fun stuff like instigating massive AI battles and turning off gravity. Either way, we DESPERATELY need more Kunio styled games.
Also, you guys missed a wonderful franchise that needs a modern sequel...
WHERE IS MY FUCKING NEW PILOT WINGS?
Pilot Wings 64 was the shit, and it'd be perfect for a Wii sequel.
Similarity one: It's all Tommy Tallarico music
Similarity two: On SNES and Genesis
Games: Earthworm Jim 1 & 2
All four games are by Treasure, and were released for the Genesis/Mega Drive.
Gunstar Heroes
Dynamite Headdy
McDonald's Treasure Land Adventure
Alien Soldier (haha, nice job trying to cut off the title at the end :) )
Terranigma has one of the best concepts, an had one of the greatest soundtracks in the snes. i think is quicly forgotten because is an action-rpg,so "true rpg fans", saw it more like a adventure stuff
And happy birthday!
