S1E239 - The SNES Podcast #239 -- Blackthorne

In this episode Greg and Joe are covering the popular platformer game Blackthorne! Developed by Blizzard shortly before the first Warcraft game, this unique platformer uses rotoscoping graphics like Out of This World and has gameplay mechanics similar to Prince of Persia with combat systems in place. We discuss this game in detail and how the game plays today.

S1E238 - The SNES Podcast #238 -- Home Improvement

In this episode of the SNES Podcast Joe and Greg discuss the 'bad game' Home Improvement! Often included in lists of worst games for the system, this game designed by legendary video game developers Dan Kitchen and David Crane to play like Pitfall modified to fit the theme of this long running 90's comedy featuring Tim Allan. And it actually reviewed pretty well when it came out. So how does the game REALLY play and is it worth being on those lists? Tune in to find out!

S1E236 - The SNES Podcast #236 -- Jim Power: The Lost Dimension in 3-D

Hello everyone! Joe and Greg are here to bring you a very interesting and yet still popular (as shown by the ports) SNES game -- Jim Power! The only SNES game designed with 3-D glasses, the game uses background parallax scrolling to give you a sense of depth -- but without the glasses it often causes motion sickness in people. We discuss this in depth and more and how the game actually is in this episode.

S1E234 - The SNES Podcast #234 -- Sparkster

In this episode of the SNES Podcast, we look at a very unique game -- Sparkster! This game is the SNES version -- but not a port -- of Konami's famous Rocket Knight Adventures for the Genesis and also not the same game as the sequel on that system (as if the naming scheme wasn't confusing enough.) We discuss this game and how it differs from the Genesis entries, where you can get the game today, and how it holds up.
