Under Consoletation: The Video Game Television Podcast – Details, episodes & analysis

It's November 1984! Thatcher! Coal Miner Strikes! Band Aid on the Horizon! And the BBC is doing a new tv show about 'computers'. They'll never catch on. Ash and Cliff settle down for the second episode of 'Micro Live', where we see the new MSX computer range, a man purchases a computer in Croydon, Lesley is obsessed with people damaging their floppies, and a con-man talks to us about American telecoms. This is actually way more entertaining than we're making it sound.

There might even be some discussion of pornography.

Ash returns to Bits, after not being blown away by it in UCP's original run, however, he is not alone, as Cliff faces an old foe in Titus Interactive and looks forward to talking about Shadowman... which will definitely happen... probably.

We need your help listener! Ashdros has declared war. He's invaded the Clifflat System, and trying to take UCP. Our army alone can not do the job. Hurry UCN!

Ash & Cliff blast off through Tori gates and into a deep dive on how Argonaut went from bedroom developer, to pioneering 3D gaming and followed by possible breaches of Nintendo licensing, where Nintendo did the most un-Nintendo thing they've ever done... they offered them a contract?!

GOOD LUCK!

Cliff and Ash go back to Games World, but not as we've seen it before. We look at Tuesday 22nd June 1993 to visit the creepy House of Gaming, where they review games, talk a lot about the sportsball, the bus timetable, pinball crossovers and movies that will change the world for ever... probably... Get ready to find out what GM members of staff get up to in the off season!

Five week month bonus episode! It's time to look at the official prequel to Street Fighter IV, which doesn't contain much in the way of streets, fighting, or indeed any useful correlation to the plot. Ken is a Salaryman, Ryu is the bestest boy, and Seth is taking time off from Emmerdale. Cliff watched the English dub, Ash watched the Japanese sub, and it didn't make a bit of difference to their experience. Judge for yourself and listen to their suffering.

Ash & Cliff have a deep dive into one of the most important fighters of the 7th generation. We look back at Street Fighter II, then to how everyone else stepped to the challenge, Capcom's dividing Street Fighter III, the internet game changer and finally Street Fighter IV and if it's punches land.

Ash, Cliff and Luke take a thumb through a copy of GamePro Magazine from April 1992, picking out news, previews, reviews and adverts that tickle their particular fancies. Ash loves a sexy red trench coat, Cliff is drawn to anything you can plug in or strap on and Luke is at his most basic of bitch-ness! And remember: "To be the best, you gotta get a GAMEPRO!"

Check out the April 1992 Issue of GamePro Magazine HERE.
