Goobz & Toby pick one retro video game each episode to play. They discuss the history, story, game play, music, fun facts, then rate it at the end from 1-10. The goal is to see which old games hold up today and maybe see if some of our favorites are only good due to nostalgia. The guys mostly play games on NES, SNES, N64, GameCube, SEGA Genesis, Playstation, PS2, and any other dead console they can get their hands on.*ADULT LANGUAGE IS USED*

Welcome to our Podcast where we go back and time and talk about your favorite game from the past. Not every episode is the same, you'll never know what retro game we will talk about next. So sit in your car put your seat belt on, put in your earbuds if your car stereo sucks and enjoy the ride. And try to look like you're doing something if you're at work. Because nobody really listens to the radio anymore and we have an hour commute to work.
