Episode 13: Yeah, Bud! Abba Dudes! - Part 1

Mike, Jaymo, and YouTuber WarBoss5 (aka our old friend Ryan) meander-thal their way through "Joe & Mac" and its pseudo-sequel "Congo's Caper" on their epic quest to research & review every retro game in the Nintendo Switch Online catalog!

In Part One of this dino-sized two-part episode, track the evolution of the caveman-genre as the boys discuss the rampant bodyshaming of the early 90's, an Xbox game so blasphemous it triggered international controversy, and what happens when Cro-Magnon Man collects all seven Dragonballs!

Born into comfortable middle-class suburbia, I got into gaming early in life with Sonic and the Sega Genesis. Things were great, as all new romances are, but eventually I tired of her. And so I moved from the chunky cartridges of my youth to the sleek curve of the Playstation's CD-ROM disks. From there it was on to her sister the Playstation 2, then to their cousin the Xbox. They were fun times to be sure, but all the while it felt like something was MISSING. That's when I realized that what had been searching for had been staring me in the face since the beginning, the best friend that had been by my side all along: my PC. And so I forsook (mostly) the realm of the console and began the one great love of my life. And I haven't looked back since.
