| Episode 94 - Super Mario Bros 2 | 19 Jan 2025 | 00:57:39 | |
Just a quick caveat - there was an issue while recording this episode and occasionally there's a burst of static. I was recording with Bandicam and can't figure out how to fix the problem so I'll be changing my recording software for future episodes. That being said, Keaton joins us in this episode as we talk about our memories and the legacy of Super Mario Bros. 2. Its a classic to most everyone, although myself and Keaton have slightly differing opinions that you can check out on this episode.

| Episode 93 - Quake 3 Arena | 01 Jan 2025 | 00:21:22 | |
I don't cover as many retro PC games as I do console games but I love sprinkling them in as I am more of a PC guy now, and in the end of the 90s no PC game was as anticipated as Quake 3. I share my thoughts on being an early PC gamer thrust into the arena FPS game style.

| Episode 0 - Show introduction and concept | 21 Nov 2022 | 00:03:51 | |
Welcome to Afterglow! This show aims to look at my personal game memories on a per-title basis. This is a new idea for me after listening to many podcasts and finding that most go over the game details while glossing over peoples personal experience with that game. So this show aims to look at my history with certain games, and perhaps if it grows to something larger listeners memories as well. Check out friends of the show!

| Episode 81 - Faceball 2000 | 30 Sep 2024 | 00:18:35 | |
"Have a nice day!" Faceball 2000 was one of the first, if not the first, FPS I played. I rented it quite a few times and while it wasn't at the top of my SNES fave games, it holds a nostalgic spot thanks to being that first FPS as well as its unique presentation.

| Episode 92 - Super Mario Land | 18 Dec 2024 | 00:19:24 | |
On this episode we are going back to the Game Boy with a launch title not talked about as much as Tetris but just as impressive to see on the black and white (or green and black) handheld with Super Mario Land. I forgot to mention in this episode there is a DX release of this game (which was a remake done in color for the Game Boy Color) that I never got to play but looks really good from what I have seen on YouTube of it.

| Episode 71 - Kirby Super Star | 22 Jul 2024 | 00:15:49 | |
Kirby is one of Nintendos biggest IPs, but I discovered him a little late with his biggest SNES game, which is actually a collection of Kirby titles that I feel is the pinnacle of what the pink puffball put out in games.

Going back to the normal show for a bit, and we also cover another NES game with Captain Skyhawk, a Rare game before they became known for hits such as Battletoads and Donkey Kong Country.

| Episode 69 - Plumbers Don't Wear Ties | 08 Jul 2024 | 00:46:13 | |
It's episode 69, nice! This episode won't be following the normal format, as my memories of this game are all from the early 2000's when I did a playthough of a burned copy of it and uploaded it to YouTube, which was my first experience with this game. (which you can watch here if you really want to). So this time I'm doing another playthrough of it where you can listen in, and this time I make every "correct" choice for the main story.

| Episode 68 - Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (NES) | 24 Jun 2024 | 00:49:05 | |
NESJohnny Takeover Special for Teenage Mutant Nin-June Turtles finale! I have not yet listened to this episode before I upload it! In the final episode for this special month, I am the guest and NESJohnny is the host where he has done all the editing for this show, all I did was record our discussion. NESJohnny is an old friend from the PlayTheNES website days. We met when we did a fun experiment to see if we took a bare NES game, slap a shipping label on it and see if it made it across the country. We both had childhood as well as more modern memories of TMNT on NES and while his time is very limited he graciously made time to appear on the show as well as edit this one in his own style. I loved having him on as well as all the other guests for this month and I hope you guys enjoy the finale!

It's episode 64 of Afterglow, and nothing would be more fitting than covering Super Mario 64!

| Episode 62 - BaseWars | 13 May 2024 | 00:14:41 | |
Normally I don't play a lot of sports titles, but some catch my eye from time to time. An early one was BaseWars on the NES. I mostly bought it for the great price of 50 cents at a yard sale but once I tried it I was shocked at how good it was. Join in with me on my thoughts in this episode.

My main childhood experiences with it were with the Sega Genesis Special Champion Edition, so that's what I will focus on although I will touch on a few other releases.

| Episode 91 - T2: The Arcade Game | 09 Dec 2024 | 00:21:57 | |
This episode covers a light gun game, a genre that has fallen in recent years but I think these games are a blast to play. And few nail the setting as well as T2 does, even though the game is crazy difficult. I talk about my experiences with the arcade game as well as the SNES port in this episode, and how I had to more or less cheat to beat it.

| Episode 56 - Space Invaders | 02 Apr 2024 | 00:12:03 | |
We are doing a shorter episode this week to take a break after all the work for Big Meaty Men Slappin' Meat last March, but also because I wanted to talk about my genesis becoming a gamer. Not a Sega Genesis, but a personal genesis with an Atari 2600 and a pile of carts, with one of my favorites becoming Space Invaders.

| Episode 55 - WCW Nitro | 27 Mar 2024 | 00:25:37 | |
Big Meaty Men Slappin' Meat In March comes to a close with WCW Nitro! Nitro was one of those games that might have been a bad wrestling game, but strangely was also fun to play. You can tell the developers had a blast making the game. It's kinda like eating frosting with no cake if I had to describe it. I hope you enjoy this episode as we close out another special month of Afterglow!

| Episode 54 - WWF Raw | 24 Mar 2024 | 00:17:29 | |
Big Meaty Men Slappin' Meat in March continues! This is the first game I thought of when I decided to dedicate March of this year to wrestling games. I spent so much time renting this game on both the Genesis and SNES, but always wanted to try the 32X version. It took over 15 years but in my 20's I got my hands on a copy, and it was mostly everything I hoped.

Big Meaty Men Slappin' Meat in March continues! This episode I cover a wrestling game that's different from almost every other wrestling title that has come out.

I know the thumbnail has a 2 in it, but the game for this episode is actually Final Fantasy 4! I explain why in the intro if you don't already know the chaos in the numbering of early Final Fantasy games. Also, this is episode 50! Thanks for joining me in discussing my memories of 50 games, and I hope you enjoy the next 50!

I haven't done any fighting games yet for the show, but I do enjoy a good fighter from time to time.

| Episode 90 - Mechanized Attack | 01 Dec 2024 | 00:22:07 | |
Lets talk about a game that hasn't had anyone talk about it in years, a shooter called Mechanized Attack from SNK. I find a lot of the pre - Neo Geo SNK games interesting and this one is no exception. Is it just an Operation Wolf clone or does it have more to offer?

| Episode 48 - The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past | 14 Feb 2024 | 00:17:39 | |
Old-school Zelda games are ones I enjoy quite a bit, but I was definitely late to the party. However to this day I love the top down Zelda experience, which I'll dive deeper into on this episode.

| Episode 47 - Metroid Fusion | 08 Feb 2024 | 00:16:57 | |
These days I'm a Metroid fan, but its a series I had to grow into. The fourth game is what drew me into the franchise, which I'll be going into in this episode (along with my dirty pirate shame).
