Retro Wildlands #72- The Punisher (NES)

The Retro Wildlands - A Gaming Podcast ·

2025/09/01

Frank Castle is one of Marvel’s darkest and most controversial characters—but is he a misunderstood anti-hero or just a symbol of unchecked violence? And does his character translate to fun video game experiences? In this episode, I dust off The Punisher’s 1991 NES outing to see if Frank Castle’s one-man war on crime translated into 8-bit fun—or frustration. I'll also share my personal thoughts on The Punisher as a character: is he a necessary anti-hero or just a brutal vigilante gone too far?Intro

Retro Wildlands #68 - Jackal

The Retro Wildlands - A Gaming Podcast ·

2025/04/08

The best thing about discovering new-to-me retro video games is coming across a game I wish I knew about growing up. While some games on the original Nintendo can be iconic, revolutionary and tough as nails, sometimes the best hidden gems are the ones that are simple, clean fun. They execute a simple premise well and they don't beat you senseless with that "NES Tough" gameplay. Jackal, a top down run and gun shooter, is very much the latter and I really, really wish it didn't take me this long to

Kung Fu on the NES is a call back to simpler times where gameplay was focused and your enjoyment was guaranteed. And it has more of a history than most realize!Come join me by the campfire

While Ice Hockey is a simple game, that's the beauty of this title and a big reason this game is easy to pick up and play today.So gather around the campfire, my friends!

2024/11/28

When the Super Nintendo hit the market it was quick to show the world what the next level in video games would be all about. Contra III: The Alien Wars not only showed off the graphical power of the system in ways we hadn't seen yet, it was a blast to play. Who wants to watch a cheesy action movie when you can star in your own?Come take a load off by the campfire as I take you through Contra III on the SNES.

Retro Wildlands #61 - Resident Evil (Re-Explored)

The Retro Wildlands - A Gaming Podcast ·

2024/10/31

The original Resident Evil on the Sony Playstation was one of the most iconic and influential games to come out in 1996. While the GameCube remake is considered the definitive way to play this survival horror classic, the original will always have a spooky charm about it. From the B-Movie plot to the terrible voice acting, there's a lot to love. And it's the perfect game to revisit this Halloween!Join me by the campfire as we revisit the very first game I ever featured on the podcast. Using game

Retro Wildlands #58 - Zelda II: The Adventure of Link

The Retro Wildlands - A Gaming Podcast ·

2024/09/02

Of all the games I've played so far on my retro journey, none have been more divisive, polarizing, and thought provoking. Often times referred to as the "black sheep" of the franchise, Zelda 2's side-scrolling approach to action role-playing certainly stands out. But even through much of this game wasn't carried forward, does that mean what's here isn't worth your time? With RPG elements, decent combat, great music and a world teeming with secrets to discover, this game has all the makings of

Retro Wildlands #55 - Top 10 Video Game Weapons

The Retro Wildlands - A Gaming Podcast ·

2024/05/30

Video game weapons can come in all shapes and sizes. They can be as simple as a sword to as unique as a Zero Point Energy Field Manipulator. The weapons we wield in games can be the tools we need to literally save the world, or they can be nothing more than tools to slay our enemies and see their remains splayed out at our feet. Some weapons can represent the characters that wield them and symbolize their personal growth. Others are so legendary they'll stand the test of time for centuries to

Retro Wildlands #54 - Gunstar Heroes

The Retro Wildlands - A Gaming Podcast ·

2024/05/18

The only bad thing about growing up as a Nintendo kid was missing out on the Sega Genesis. Of all the games in its library, I'm constantly told I need to try Gunstar Heroes, a run and gun shooter where the action is fast and the challenge is real. With silky smooth graphics and an emphasis on combining weapons, this one seems like it'll check all the boxes. But is Gunstar Heroes a game worthy of your time today? Or is this another game that belongs in the bargain bin?Join me by the campfire as we

Retro Wildlands #53 - Doom (1993)

The Retro Wildlands - A Gaming Podcast ·

2024/04/27

Influential. Important. Impactful. Significant. Glorious. When Doom was released on PC back in 1993, it wasn't hard to see the impact it made on gaming then, but who knew what sort of impact it would still make on gaming, and even our own culture today. Born with simple, yet revolutionary coding techniques, Doom is widely available and can run on most anything. Even a bunch potatoes! But is "the father of the first person shooter" something that holds up today? Or is Doom a relic of the past?Join

Retro Wildlands #52 - Super Metroid

The Retro Wildlands - A Gaming Podcast ·

2024/03/30

There's been thousands of video games made in the last 30 years, but none have seemingly stood the test of time like Super Metroid. While its influence on gaming is undeniable, it wasn't until recently that I finally got to play this game from start to finish. While my mission was to rescue the last Metroid, my real concerns lay elsewhere. I had to know. Was Super Metroid really as good as people say it is? Or is this another case of nostalgia elevating something that isn't all that great?Join me
