That Game Rules!

Does bustin' make you feel good? Then get ready to be disappointed with this week's episode. We're sucking up Ghostbusters on the NES, to see if that game rules or if it's another razor blade in our Snickers bar. Is Ghostbusters just another cash grab or is there something more to reach for in this candy sack? It's a trick or treat kind of episode, for a trick or treat kind of game, Halloween memories galore and even more candy references on an October spooky episode of "That Game Rules!". 

Back in 1988, we did Halloween in style. Featuring all the classic horror movies and icons, grab yourself a box of Hi-C Ecto Cooler and join me on a trip back to the Halloween parties from our childhoods. Freddy, Jason, Michael...but what about Dr. Giggles? 

As always, I can't keep the thoughts together and talk about a whole bunch of other nonsense too...

The Virtual Boy. Get ready to immerse yourself in a brand new world of eye strain and disappointment. But maybe the Virtual Boy was just ahead of its time. Feel the burn today, as we go through the history of Nintendo's secret shame. What was it like back then? Were our poor child expectations crushed as bad as everyone thinks? Should anyone even touch those red goggles anymore, or do we just bury this thing along with Nintendo's profits that year? Find out if that system rules, on this episode of "That Game Rules!". 

Before Nintendo has us seeing red, we take a timewarp to 1995. We break down commercial mascots from the 90's, go through a top ten list of movies, and review the lineup of BK kid's club toys. Then, the Virtual Boy arrived to take out humanity, based on its advertising and general use... 

As always, I can't keep the thoughts together and talk about a whole bunch of other nonsense too...

3... 2... 1... GO! Mario Kart 64 is coming at you with Blue Shells and all the 4 player action you can handle. We break down everything about this N64 classic. From trivia to speedruns, items and characters, to a complete track ranking, we're power sliding right into a 90's classic. What was it like growing up with the 64? Were the new 3D games everything we wanted them to be? Spam that golden mushroom and let's see if Mario Kart 64 still holds the trophy for "That Game Rules!". 

Back to 1997, where none of us wanted to grow up, we were Toys 'R Us kids. We take a trip through the toy stores of our past, break down some movies and shows from the 90's, and dream of throwing all the shells at that twerp Calliou... Plus, we touch on the demise of the Sega Saturn and rise of the PlayStation. 

As always, I can't keep the thoughts together and talk about a whole bunch of other nonsense too...

Hang on to your butts, it's a dino sized episode as we tackle Jurassic Park for the Super Nintendo. Mr. DNA is here with me with all your dinosaur facts. Get ready to explore the island, gather up eggs and ID cards, and shove a cattle prod right into Dennis Nedry's face. The movie rules, dinosaurs rule, but does this SNES game have what it takes to land in the "rules" category? Life finds a way on this episode of That Game Rules! 

From big scary green dinosaurs to big scary purple dinosaurs, the 90s had it all. We deep dive into the Jurassic Park movie, famous Dinos of the movies and TV, and fall into a Barney hole I'm still trying to crawl out of...

Grab those batteries and slap 'em in that big grey brick, cuz we're talking about Super Mario Land. The first portable plumber adventure and a whole new way to game on the go. We're going to Sarasaland to fight new enemies, rescue a new princess, and see how Mario's new game holds up against his own legacy on another round of That Game Rules! 

We timewarp back to 1989 for big hair, big shoulder pads, and a big breakdown of the TV Guide lineup on our Saturday morning cartoons. Plus, we find out the misconceptions that can happen when you package liquid candy in toothpaste tubes.
