In the 1990s Batman was everything. A comic movie franchise, cartoons, you name it. And then things started to fall off the rails. Tim Burton gets pushed out the door and we get this.

Dennis the Menace (the American one at least) is a cultural icon. Anyone who read the comics as a child most likely knows who Dennis is and followed his adventures. But is that enough to save this game from the trash pile? Learn such things as: The shifting sense of who we feel sorry for in this comic. Is Dennis really that bad?

Did you see that streak going by? That was probably Chris and Tyler Kirby from Better than Static going on about the newest episode of Play Comics. These two crazy kids looked at some Flash comic history then the Gameboy game that was at least artistically inspired by the 90s Flash TV show.

Who doesn’t like Spider-man? You know, besides JJ Jameson and a hoard of villains and whatever friends he’s blowing off without a good explanation because secret identities need to be protected? Join Chris and special guest Paul Csomo from Varmints as they look at The Amazing Spider-Man for the Nintendo Gameboy and some of the comic background for everyone’s favorite wall crawler. Learn such things as: Alternate Spider-Man realities Mechanical vs biological web shooters The twisted secrets behind the publisher and developer of the game What Marvel would never allow to be said these days about their beloved characters Who Chris and Paul both forgot was in the game because they were distracted by the sheer, … , something-ness that oozes from it If you want to be a guest on the show please check out the Be a A Guest on the Show page and let me know what you’re interested in.

The Punisher is a great character with a rich history. From killing the Marvel Universe to hunting Spider-Man to being as close to a hero as a stone cold killer can get, we’re taking a look at a brief glimpse into the Punisher comic universe and then diving straight into the NES and Gameboy games. Spoiler alert: this is an LJN game for NES. That should raise a bunch of red flags right there.

X-Men is one of the most beloved comic franchises there is, no question about it. So of course they get this LJN steaming pile of shit. Honestly, I want to just go crawl in a hole and cry myself to sleep. Things Covered Jay and Miles are the best and there's so much X-Men history that I'd mess up so just go listen to their show if you're really curious Rotating cast makes it a pretty open world But we're only going to see 6 of them here LJN does exactly what you'd expect with an NES game There's the great team dynamic we've all grown to love from this group. X-Men comics good, X-Men on NES bad. If you want to be a guest on the show please check out the Be a A Guest on the Show page and let me know what you’re interested in.

We have our first revisit to a franchise, so if you haven't checked out our episode about Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles you should probably do that. Things Covered This is so much better than that earlier game The arcade version is beautiful. The NES one isn't too shabby itself The fun of bringing an arcade game to the home consoles Chris finally realizes that we haven't covered a proper Spiderman game since obviously the Atari games don't count.

We knew basically nothing about Dick Tracy coming into this. Well, nothing except that he wears yellow and he's a detective. So clean slate for this show! WE GOT REVIEWS! Davis Quinn: "This game is horrible" Sean did research, Chris didn't do as much beyond playing the game Chris suffers through a 1939 Dick Tracy serial The NES and Genesis games are different, and one is objectively better If you want to be a guest on the show please check out the Be a A Guest on the Show page and let me know what you’re interested in.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles is a game we all know from a comic series we all know exists. Ha, joke's on us because most of the people I know grew up on the cartoons. Turtle origin story Sean's tattoos that he totally had before starting the show Changes between the comics and cartoon Chris refuses to admit that the Michael Bay movies exist Drifting into the land of future show previews The game isn't great, but if you liked it before you probably still do If you want to be a guest on the show please check out the Be a A Guest on the Show page and let me know what you’re interested in.

Ah, Batman. What can you say about someone with such a storied past? Well, Chris and Sean go off on an over sized episode that tries to capture the magic of one of the better games on the NES. New Joker back stories Movie tie in games with actually good game play... ... but characters that have nothing to do with the movie or Batman lore. The nostalgia of the NES classic versus the forgotten fact that there's also a Genesis version. Totally off topic ramblings. You know you loved this game as a kid. And it wasn't just because Batman is awesome, it was actually a good game.

Wow, this one is horrible. Not the episode, it's pretty sweet. But the game itself? It's pretty bad. Things Covered The video we watched because we couldn't handle playing it for long. The insane setting for the mini games Chris definitely loves Peanuts Video game physics Balancing skills and how the NES doesn't really show them off well What makes this game Snoopy anyway? Yeah, it's a bad one. If you want to be a guest on the show please check out the Be a A Guest on the Show page and let me know what you’re interested in.

Sean joins Chris and the show goes insane in the best way possible. The language gets more adult though so you might want to be careful about that. We try no to go overboard, but no promises. Things Covered Making a good Superman game is hard The really weird list of powers Superman has/had The level of situational awareness of the citizens of Metropolis General gameplay notes Overall game quality notes Unintented previews of future Superman games Chris's flea market habbits A glimpse into future plans How we'd improve the game Did we mention that making a good Superman game is hard?

Spy vs Spy, and incorrectly Spy vs Spy 2 in this case, are looked at in this episode. Thankfully the sequel doesn't really change much beyond the setting so it's not a big deal. The game was planned and development started for an NES release over here, so it could have happened. Things Covered Super brief history of Spy vs Spy Comic Some characters you don't see in the game Comparing the game to other things Old school dungeon crawling RPGs point and click adventures Portal Conclusion: It's not bad....?

Wow, the games for the Atari 2600 are really crappy. Flash stuff from the early 90s was better. Today's creators could barf up a better game in their sleep. Things Covered Asterix Canada is still part of North America and how they didn't see Taz Popeye The Smurfs, 1.5 times because a second "game" barely counts Spider-Man Superman Snoopy The general crappyness of the 2600 and why I'm not holding it against these games too much If you want to be a guest on the show please check out the Be a A Guest on the Show page and let me know what you’re interested in.
