2020-03-2513 minNES-essary PodcastEpisode 1x13 - Play - What's a Creepy Pasta?This week we played these games. We played them all. We played all of them for real, we promise. We played Taboo because you know what we had to. I didn't want to, Josiah definitely didn't want to but we did it for you. You're welcome. Next we played Super Cars which is a Nintendo game about driving cars. Then we played Air Fortress, we didn't even get the shirt. After that we played Ikari Warriors II: Victory Road which didn't feature one road in it. Lastly we played Yoshi which just barely counts as a video game. Good...

None of these games were great, not many of them were playable, in fact, it is week's like this that make me seriously regret ever committing to such a thing, but if you wait long enough or practice self-deceit to a really frightening level you can do anything!

This might be the pound for pound best week of games we have played yet though (taken on average score, not mean) as Super Mario Bros 2 really drags up that average. Wurm is a dark horse for a top 10 sleeper picks list. Defenders of the Crown while not a good game was at least interesting enough to play, and Dusty...
2019-11-141h 04NES-essary Podcast1x05 - PullTime again for another Pull Episode. In these episodes, we fire up the ol Random Number Generator - type in the parameters of such a task somewhere between 2 and 706 and we see what the universe has to offer us. We have finally gotten this episode down to its fighting weight of under 10 minutes so you can get back out there and start playing these games. We honestly have never played these games in most cases and have no idea what to expect. Every conversation you hear on this podcast is live and unrehearsed and the results are unedited and...
2019-11-0709 minNES-essary PodcastEpisode 1x04 - Play - The "Great Food" EscapadeWe play through them all - the bad ones, the real bad ones, and the ones that weren't so bad. We played Pictionary (don't jump to your death over it), Captain Skyhawk (because that's a thing), Rollerblade Racer (there is no phonetical way to capture the soul burning groan I have for this game), Super Spike V'Ball (according to Josh, a true delight - a summer breeze of a video game), and Willow (still creepy after all these years). Listen in to see what these games are all about. Take part in the conversation on Twitter using the hashtag...

2019-10-0922 minNES-essary PodcastEpisode 1x01 - Pull and Play - A New DawnMuch like the humble Captain Napoleon in Koei's L'Empereur, Josiah and I venture out on unsteady legs to record this crazy podcast. The audio isn't the crispest it can get, we are still working on formatting and our banter but the fledgling pod gets underway. We don't even have a strong concept yet, but we recognize some true to form elements that work. This first episode documents both elements of the show - The Pull Episode and the Play Episode in one session here. Starting next week, there will be two different episodes separated by a week's time so that...
2019-10-031h 21NES-essary PodcastEpisode 1x02 - Play - The Ancient Ship of FoolsGrab it while its hot - the new episode is here - your long awaited journey has paid off. We play through 5 NES titles and riff on these strange old games. This is the first official Play episode which should establish the trend. In this week's pull episode, we drew Contra Force, Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, Hudson Hawk, Knight Rider, and Ninja Gaiden III: The Ancient Ship of Doom. Now let me tell you something, this was a wild week of games. Two bone-crushingly difficult games, one semi-enjoyable game, two games based on terrible source material that made...

We gather together in hopes of finding the best possible NES games to play in any given week and let fate decide (or the random number generator in Google) and see what happens. Josh has a spreadsheet that has all 706 games ever released for the NES with some flaws, omissions, or repeats perhaps, and we draw them one at a time and talk about our impressions of these titles. Sometimes we are wrong sometimes we are weirdly right, and most often we are surprised. This is your chance to play along...
