Disco Elysium (2019)

Old Gamer’s Almanac ·

2022/07/19

We've been trying to get this game onto the list since we started this show and it is finally time. Disco Elysium came out of nowhere and was an instant classic. If everything goes according to plan, this game should be remembered forever, and it starts here with the most definitive list out there.

Soulcalibur (1999)

Old Gamer’s Almanac ·

2022/07/12

We teased this episode recently, and someone told us Soulcalibur is the Eddie Gordo of fighting games. Matt doesn't know what that means, but it probably means he's a dumb guy for this being the fighting game that he likes. It's cool! We get it! But come listen to us be wrong about the entire genre for an hour anyways!

Inside (2016)

Old Gamer’s Almanac ·

2022/07/05

It's indie time! Do you like children? Do you like puzzle-platformers? Are both of these things cute and unassuming in your mind. Well buckle up, because you're about to watch a virtual child die many gruesome deaths and it's unsettling and unnecessary! Here's our chat about Playdead's Inside.

Panzer Dragoon II: Zwei (1996)

Old Gamer’s Almanac ·

2022/06/28

It's SEGA time! And this time it's the oft ignored Sega Saturn! Called by some "the greatest game ever made," what makes Panzer Dragoon Zwei so special? I dunno! It just...feels right. You've gotta experience it to believe it.

Mario Kart 64 (1997) [w/ EJ]

Old Gamer’s Almanac ·

2022/06/21

Hunter is in town which means it's time again to hang out with E.J. and play some couch multiplayer! We're trying to hit stone-cold classic right now, so that means it's time for Mario Kart 64! But it's hard to talk about Mario Kart without talking about ALL Mario Kart games, so stick around for a sub-ranking of all Mario Kart Games.

Mirror’s Edge (2008)

Old Gamer’s Almanac ·

2022/06/14

Does anyone else remember loving this game? I remember loving this game. Am I being pranked? Isn't this one of my favorite games? Mirror's Edge definitely seemed like a big deal at the time, but then I forgot to think about it for like 8 years so now I'm not so sure what's going. So let's see if it still holds up!

Raw Danger! (2007)

2022/05/31

What? What even is this game? How many people could possibly care about where this game ranks on our list? Well if you're a good person you care about EVERY episode of Old Gamer's Almanac, ESPECIALLY the ones with games you've never played. So this is now a homework assignment to go play this game.

Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories (2004)

Old Gamer’s Almanac ·

2022/05/24

We're continuing (and probably putting a pause on) our Kingdom Hearts journey with the Gameboy Advance sequel (or is it a prequel to Kingdom Hearts 2?). This game is often called one of the worst Kingdom Hearts games even by diehard fans of the series...so how will that bode for it's placement on The List?

Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3 (2001)

Old Gamer’s Almanac ·

2022/05/17

We're still hanging out in the late 90s and early 2000s with more arcadey classics! This week was almost Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2, but we JUST did a PS1 game, and 3 is better anyways, dangit! This is one of Matt's favorite sports games and something Hunter has little to no fondness for! Is this a game for skaters or is it a corporate sell out? Can it be both?!

Twisted Metal 2 (1996)

Old Gamer’s Almanac ·

2022/05/10

Matt and Hunter were in the same place for a weekend, which is why you're getting a few episodes in a row of this particular era and breed of video game. This time, it's one from Hunter's childhood, vehicular car combat legend Twisted Metal 2. So many things about this game are "out-dated," but does that make it bad, or does that make it a product of it's time? Who cares, it's all Beavis and Butt-head jokes.

GoldenEye 007 (1997) [w/ E.J. Sanders and Kimmy Martens]

Old Gamer’s Almanac ·

2022/05/03

It's time to get cool again and talk about one of those college dorm classics: GoldenEye 007 for the Nintendo 64. There are a lot of folks out there who hold this game firmly in their nostalgia, and today we're here to tell them to let it go. This one can die and be a historical event. We also bring back crowd favorite as well as introduce highly anticipated guest: Matt's cousin Kimmy. Listen, we wanted to play 4 player GoldenEye, and this was our crew, and each of our voices deserves to be

Kirby Super Star (1996)

Old Gamer’s Almanac ·

2022/04/26

This one is a stone cold classic straight out of Matt's Nostalgia Bag. Is it the perfect Kirby game? Can such a thing exist? Does Hunter have any room left in his big video game noggin for this pink cutie? Am I going to keep asking questions until I feel like this episode description is sufficiently long? Yes.

Getting Over It with Bennett Foddy (2017)

Old Gamer’s Almanac ·

2022/04/19

Well today is a weird one. Matt has come a long way in his relationship with difficulty and frustration and this is a chance to put that to the test. But the real test is the fact that Hunter is actually playing and trying to beat Getting Over It with Bennett Foddy for the first time while recording the episode. Experience the highs and the lows in real time and see if Hunter can Get Over It with Matt jabbering on in his ear. Mentioned in the episode: Bennett Foddy Plays Getting Over It with Bennett

Kingdom Hearts (2002)

Old Gamer’s Almanac ·

2022/04/12

The darkness. The light. The heart. The chains. The shoes. Is this the most important episode of the show? Probably. Donald Duck is like a wizard and Goofy is a knight? Shut up and quit asking questions. Come for the Disney, stay for the clothes and pop music. It's time for us to embark on our Kingdom Hearts journey.

Pikmin (2001)

Old Gamer’s Almanac ·

2022/04/05

Nintendo is knows for classic, cute, and relatively easy games. And then there's Pikmin. It's had its share of sequels and spinoffs, but this original entry is notably punishing and finicky, and yet it still has all of the charm and allure of other Nintendo fare. So what does that mean for The List? Music by nightcorey. https://soundcloud.com/nightcorey Email us your thoughts on the ongoing list at oldgamersalmanac (at) gmail(dot)com.

Star Wars: Shadows of the Empire (1996)

Old Gamer’s Almanac ·

2022/03/29

We're digging through the early Nintendo 64 catalog today with one of the earliest big Star Wars video game projects. Lauded as a movie without a movie, Shadows of the Empire had the full backing of Lucasfilm to be cross-media success. There's a lot of history to this game that is somewhat lost to time and will that be enough to carry it in our stupid ranking?

Centipede (1981)

Old Gamer’s Almanac ·

2022/03/22

Today is the splendid arcade classic from Arkansas' own Dona Bailey! Centipede by Atari has such an original look and feel that it easily stands out from so many games at the arcades of old. Good arcades are hard to find these days, but if you can find this cabinet in good condition, it's absolutely worth the time!

Hitman (2016)

Old Gamer’s Almanac ·

2022/03/15

There are a lot of genres this show has yet to tap and it's honestly a crime that it took us this long to do a stealth game. But boy, we're gonna go ahead and come out strong with IO Interactive's 2016 revival of the Hitman series, the kick off of the World of Assassination trilogy that you can acquire ALL of now as part of a Hitman 3 super collection. But today we aren't talking about all of that extra stuff. JUST Hitman 1. Music by nightcorey. https://soundcloud.com/nightcorey Email us your

Journey to Silius (1990)

Old Gamer’s Almanac ·

2022/03/08

We're returning to the NES for the first time since our flagship episode about a significantly more well known game. Journey to Silius is a game famous amongst a certain generation but it's memory has been lost to time for many. So, can this game stand up to the resurrection? Or will we have to hire a machine to go back in time and kill it before it was ever made? That's a Terminator joke.
