Kid Icarus

Standard

This week the dudes get their mythology on with Kid Icarus. Kid Icarus was a famous game that was brought into the gaming world by none other that Nintendo’s R&D 1. Much like other games brought to the NES from R&D 1 (ahem…. Metroid), Kid Icarus brings a lot of fun, frustration and ultimately enjoyment.

In the show the guys talk about their experiences playing this game and their many frustrations. They also bring in many tangents as usual. The show also features a few embarrassing moments, that the listener will enjoy.

There is also a quiz game that puts Justin on the spot this time , with horrible results. The Dudes love talking this NES classic and we hope that you enjoy the show as much.

Happy listening

Startropics

Standard

The Dudes are joined this week by honorary Dude Hickman. The three dudes discuss the obscure (yes, Aaron Hickman is a fan of the obscure, like his podcast) game StarTropics.

StarTropics is a game that for those that experienced it, was loved. What’s not to love? Yo-yos? Awesome. Baseball equipment used as weapons? Again, Awesome. Plus the game carries with it a fun time that is reminiscent of Zelda. Although Dude Justin had to make an early exit this week, Dude Michael and Dude Hickman dive deep into the game.

Other than talk about the game, the Dudes cover several topics and hilarity ensues. Also Michael takes on Dude Hickman in another round of historical tidbits and trivia quiz game.
