  • Great show!

    I love listening to this podcast every night, and it’s short enough to where I can listen to an episode without it taking up a chunk of my rest! All the games you play are explained and reviewed very well and in a comedic fashion.

  • This podcast is NGP certified!

    I really enjoy this podcast because I like hearing the different opinions of each person. I also really enjoy that the show is family friendly with no swears or innuendo. That is very rare to find, and I’m thankful for that!

  • Its three friends who plays a retro game for a week and review it. Often they have limited knowledge about the game, the context the game was release and even the console Itself, so dont listen expecting an tecnical review. They are charismatic, fun, and the podcast dont have annoying advertisement, so I trully recommend for the fun, non tecnical podcast. For me it lost a lot of points with the "side episodes" they often do and its so awful that hurts more the podcast than helps.

  • Great show

    I’ve listened for many years, and I love this show. The best episodes are often when you guys have a terrible game nobody has ever heard of. Nolan is funny when he hates the game. I will never forgive Dustin for not giving Parasite Eve NGP. That game has such a unique and cool story, but he got his first you know what playing FF7 (It rhymes with donor), so Aya just doesn’t do it for him.
