Hades (Podcast of The Year Edition)

Main Quest Podcast ·

2023/06/19

This week we're revisiting an episode I did on a modern indie darling, Hades! This was the first time I was joined by long time friend of the show Eric Gess of Unlockables Podcast (formerly Sidequest Podcast) as we talked about how Xbox Live Arcade shaped modern indie gaming, how Hades sprouted from the frustration of working within EA and how much this game took over our lives.

Main Quest Podcast ·

2023/05/29

Time has not been kind to early Genesis games. Everyone remembers Sega post Sonic, but don't really talk about what it was like before Sonic. Unless you're from the UK.And though B-Ross from Super Garbage Day is not English, him and I share fond memories of growing up with The Revenge of Shinobi. How does this compare to everything that came before it? Why is the soundtrack so damn good?! WHY IS SPIDER-MAN HERE?!? And does the game still hold up today?? Check out Super Garbage

On the pilot episode of the Main Quest Matinée Ryan and Keith sell you on the idea of why they deserve to talk about film adaptations of their favorite video games! But really it is about them and their love of movies, what films have affected them the most and what their favorite genre's are. And they wrap the discussion up by asking the question: Do film adaptations of video games need to exist? They also discuss the rules for the new program because these movies are being ranked baby!

84 - Taz-Mania (w/ Josh of Still Loading Podcast)

Main Quest Podcast ·

2023/05/15

If you thought commercialism within the gaming market died in the 80's, you're terribly mistaken. As you can see from the games I've covered so far, I couldn't escape the licensed games that plagued the store shelves. Taz-Mania is one of those and to help carry the burden that is this Genesis game is Josh from Still Loading. We recount our memories of Looney Tunes becoming the zeitgeist for middle America "attitude" and try to decide if this game still stands the test of

And before you know it, Player Vs Podcast is coming to and end. But there's still one game left to talk about! We're still in the realm of Playstation and what else goes better together than them and Squaresoft? The RPG juggernaut of the 90's is in their prime and experimenting more than ever, with Einhänder being their first foray into the shooter genre.

The Main Quest Is 3

Main Quest Podcast ·

2023/04/20

Now that the podcast has been around for 3 years, I can now draw a circle, use a fork and play well with other podcasts! This would usually be time best used for bragging and what I have or haven't accomplished for the show but this episode isn't about the past. Instead it's about looking ahead and what the future will bring along with some big announcements! But most of all, it's a solid 20 minutes of appreciation for everything you diehards have gave to me. Onward to year 4! Find more Main Quest

81 - Punky Skunk

Main Quest Podcast ·

2023/04/17

The 90's were a wild time. Video games were becoming adolescents, a new competitor hit the market, Nintendo was no longer King and 3D gaming was the wave of the future. Video games were no longer bound to a flat plane of existence, there's no way we would ever go back to that! Wait, no, that's wrong. This is the type of thinking that did Punky Skunk in. If it wasn't bad enough that it was another mascot platformer, it also came out at the wrong time. But can it bust out from those

Main Quest Podcast ·

2023/04/10

This is what happens when a dare comes to fruition! Let's hope both parties get what they want out of this because Player VS Podcast/Listener Request Month rolls on with a Super Nintendo game that drowned in the ocean full of mascot platformers. Ardy Lightfoot does a lot to separate itself from the pack but to what extent? Did Ardy have enough going for it that it could've done better with a great marketing push? Listen and find out!

Player VS Podcast is BACK! Another year, another batch of episodes you dear listeners have picked for me. And we're kicking the year off with a late Playstation game Silent Bomber! Hear as I struggle to pronounce the main characters name just as much as the voice actors. Is this Metal Gear for babies? Does the game need to veer off into Resident Evil territory? Speaking of Resident Evil, what's the deal with the voice acting? It's the sunset years of the Playstation, but does this game still hold up

Main Quest Podcast ·

2023/02/13

When Sonic burst onto the scene it shook the gaming scene to its foundation with flashy graphics, fast paced action and infectious music. It kicked in the door of the house Nintendo helped create and made itself at home and Sega a name to be aware of. Of course a sequel would be the first thing on Sega's mind, right? Well...not exactly. The history of Sonic 2 isn't as cut and dry as you might think, and as far as the gaming holding up today....well that seems to be contentious as well...so this week

What's cooler than being cool? Strapping on your VR helmet and diving into a video game that has been kidnapping and killing children in your neighborhood in which you apply a dozen powerups to get yourself through over 100 levels to prove you can make it out alive unlike the filthy casuals before you. Yup, that's Kid Chameleon, and to help me break it down beyond that I have Twin Galaxies world record holders Willie and Ginger from Grand Rapidians Play Video Games on to talk about one of STI's

After a handful of Genesis episodes, and several dozen Nintendo games, it's finally the opposite side of the console war. Sonic The Hedgehog was the anti-Nintendo missile Sega needed that finally broke the industry wide open and offered up the competition some people were looking for. Chris Coplien from the Retro Hangover Podcast joins the quest today as we talk about why this game is so important and what it's like playing it today... Check out and support Retro Hangover HERE!
