Transcript

Falco here, I'm fine. All systems go. Welcome back, everybody to the 1997 back. He's this is our second go around. We have so many categories. We have expanded, we have gotten bigger and better in 1997 and we have more things to talk about, more great games and a movie category, as well to throw in here, some decisions to be made. If you listen to our past episode, we have a Lost World Jurassic Park debate, that we need you to settle, but because we have more to get into.

We have at least five, six categories, still to get two for the 1997 back. He's for those of you that don't know and haven't heard the previous episode. Mike, how do we sort of With the back. He's our here. If anyone hasn't heard it? Yeah. Like we could give out Video Game Awards of the Year 2022. The year that we're in the year of Our Lord 2022, but we don't do that here on back in my day.

That's what everyone else does. Instead we go back 25 years and we give Awards to the games that came out in 1997, the games that were thankful for the games that have been forgotten about and we make up fun, stupid categories. Some are legit win some our food. I would say important, I would say. Say fun of it. They're all important. Yeah, they're all part. So so yeah, we did it for 1986 or doing 597 and just growing bigger and bigger is now two episodes in.

Nice eventually, it'll be our whole show. Just be back, he's just back. He's all day every day. Yeah, so, if you haven't listened to the first episode, if for, whatever reason, your Q into this one first, we have given out Awards to the best N64 game with 64 in the title, best franchise starter best, follow-up sequel, to an original title, worst. Game based on a movie. And like, I mentioned we have a category for best version of Lost World Jurassic Park. And we also had the best game.

That would later become a Blockbuster movie or show and funniest, or most ridiculous game title. So check that episode on your feet out on your feed, not feet, it's late, check it out on your feet and then let us know. I mean, you know what, I don't know maybe you listen to your podcast with your feet and see to each their own, it's all good. I know we've already determined there. No prize victory. For Jurassic world. That's right.

All right. So for this episode, we're going to get into the rest of our categories. We're gonna get back into games here. This is the best arcade game. You may have played somewhere else. It's a slight variation, what we did for 1996, but similar similar, feel similar. Look and feel so the category or the nominees are Mortal Kombat 4, Rampage. World Tour. Cool boarders and NFL. Let's I have a distinct feeling.

This one could be difficult to sort of narrow down but I think for me as difficult as this is, you and you were mentioning last in the previous first, part of the, of the back, he's that you were surprised that I didn't pick Rampage for for one of the categories, I think I'm going to go with that here. It's hard to pick Rampage over Blitz, because I do think that Blitz was like a huge thing for me, but Rampage World Tour. I have a lot of Really fun memories.

And one in particular where we played all hundred and two hundred and ten levels, whatever it was and and it's a sequel. So has fun other characters, you play with three other people, a four-player co-op things. So I got to go with Rampage World Tour because I played in an arcade, but I mostly played it on N64. So that's what I'm gonna go with

that. Yeah, yeah, I'm going to jump in and sit down there fell Blitz, because definitely like this is the backe where it's like, okay, it debuted on one console platform. But You found it somewhere else and I think like for us, and of a blitz. Yeah. And to see for I'm correct in that. Right. Let's go. Yeah, that's why I was playing on. Yeah, I was also playing the arcade but like, yeah, it was one of those fun ones and and

64, we mention our love. For like NHL hits is very much the same thing, but this kind of launched the way Midway crazy as sports games. Yeah. And if a blitz for me was like, it was great because like as much as I'd love to put in mad and sometimes like you want to play Mario Kart 64, not Gran Turismo, you want to play like You know I mean you want to play like the Fun Arcade Style game. You don't want to necessarily like sit there and do your play book and like yeah, get serious about it.

You just want to like have some fun and do some hits. Yeah. You somebody flips and it said 40 and if it's alright Ike. This is a tough one. I think. What do you think? Yeah, it's really tough. And yeah. Arcades in the 90s. You know what a place to be. I'm gonna go with. I'm gonna go with I think my real my my heart is behind Mortal Kombat 4.

Okay. But the my head is behind Mortal Kombat. 4 of my heart is behind NFL Blitz because I actually played that in the arcade and it was like, I don't know, place for trk like that is, it was like revolutionary was different for me, that is so yep. I'm going to go ahead a couple, it's nice. I think it, I think it translated well in both in the arcade and at home like that. That's that was that was huge. I think it really it actually really worked which like a sports game.

Doesn't always work that way, but I think Blitz definitely made it. So. All right, best arcade game. You may have played somewhere else. We have NFL, skew the apply. That's good. It's good for the public, good for you. All right, we're going to stick with sports. We're going to go to the NHL games. As the Canadians. We have to talk about NHL games and we're going to go with best

NHL game. Mike, I'm gonna throw it to you in just a second bringing a degree, the go through the nominees here, we have NHL 98, which is the a sports version of it. NHL Breakaway and HL Faceoff. 98 + HL, power play, and Wayne Gretzky's D hockey, 98. Now, the reason I want to throw to you, Mike is because it's sort of, like a precursor to why. I like this category is sort of like a thing, right? Because, yeah, this, it's a category that only could be for

old games. You couldn't have best NHL game in the year of Our Lord 2022, because we've come to a point where only we're only one of our Lord has dominated. Every sport, right? We're preaching. 1997 games is if we're going to determine what's hot. Like we're literally literally Mike is literally so so like back then in 97, we literally had five NHL games five. And like I miss the days where wild multiple games in the same sport right now. We do you select two or three

but five is exam. Yeah, with a few it is better. You're right. It isn't NHL EA, like that's all you get. Are you gonna teach that stuck with one game back? Then you had choice. You had variety. You had competition? Yes, good. So it's funny. It's funny to look back now and people look back now and think 05 NHL games came out in the same year. Like how does that work? So anyways and you can buy them for maybe like NFL, but I think it shows like the sun.

Yeah. There was a shocker, you know, like podcasts and we love hockey, but there is even more NFL games than yes until games. So yeah, yeah, my It is for Wayne Gretzky's 3D hockey. I have a real soft spot for an initial 98 which I had on PC, which I loved but I have even more of a soft spot for Gretzky's 3D hockey and I think it's also you mentioned PC but a lot of these games you can play on PC like denature the fact you had an NHL or a sports game on

PCS. Just not a thing that I think has it been like 15 years like which is like how does it how do things go backwards? How do you, how do you have all these PC and a gel games and then 25 years later have none not an excuse It's that backwards. It makes no sense, right? Yeah. So it's just one of those weird. That's why I'm going to jump in and say Miners and it shall 94. Sure. I had it on PA specie, I thought it was a great game to play on PC. Like it was one of my go-to.

Yeah games. Yeah. Just like it felt like the same games you play on Console but ported for PC, it's pretty good. Yeah, they always did a good job. I mean, these are always games that I think me Micro talking about a little bit off. Are it's like from ninety five ish new be 62 like 2001-2002. If you got the EA ones, especially like those were PC games at the time because they, they, most of them are at least

some of them. At least the 97 96, they couldn't be made for SNES or Genesis, or even Saturn, sometimes, like, eventually in 98, you could do PlayStation, you could do N64, you could do like all, you know, sort of later, consoles. But like, these are PC games for me, too. For sure. Okay. I had all of them. Like 95 or 96 up until yeah like 2000 2001, that were all PC games which is crazy because it's just been so long since I happen. But I'm going to reference.

Remember 64 again, guys, sorry I'm plugging my other shows, it is what it is, but I replayed Wings a crossover event price, a crossover event that ever that nobody asked for, but they're getting anyway. Wayne Gretzky's 3D hockey 98. I played this back in the summer and replayed It for the first time in probably 24 years, 23 years, and it's still great. It's still really fun. It still works really really

well. So that's my vote because a little bit of a recency bias or at least revisiting bias. But but I really, really realized I completely forgot that is a super precursor to NHL hits which we've talked about before and hits are like probably my favorite NHL games of all time. And this has the same announcer has a very similar feel. It has a lot of crazy things going on. Just like NFL Blitz does because

it's also a Midway game. So yeah, my votes going to go to Wayne Gretzky's 3D hockey 98. There are two of them on the N64. I played this one and I thought it was still a blast and still lots of it. So I'm going to play the world's smallest violin. I think that like that's a Wayne Gretzky's another great choice for me. It's just like it wasn't the first see a title but it was a great e a title and you know, obviously kept going every year, but Was, it was important to it.

So, I'm glad it got mentioned, good. Good choice though. And as we speak, the Leafs are going into T. So, as of this recording. So, boom, baby. All right, so we have a couple of fun categories come in here. Now this is you could either call this The Old Man Award or you can call it the kids these days award. Aka the best game franchise that has since been forgotten or one that kids would have no idea what this is at this time. That is the very long title to

this. So it's one of my favorites as well. Yeah it's so this is sort of goofy. It's sort of a little like funny title and stuff but these are all games at least to me that I think when I put this together that are franchises that people really enjoyed or games of people, really enjoyed that if you mentioned, hey, did you play this? That kid nowadays are have you heard of this would have no idea

what these are. You wouldn't even know what the game was even if they didn't know what the title is. So the kids these days Award nominees go to blast course, klonoa X-Wing vs. TIE fighter, I sort of include the whole series in their lost Vikings to and Turok dinosaur hunter. Those are our nominees, all of these are sort of dead franchise. Isis essentially, that is sort of really the idea of this. So, you know, I'm going to go to you first, any, any direction

you want to go in? Yeah, that's that's a good question. I mean the X-Men vs. X-Men, X-Wing vs. TIE fighter. Neato. Just like grabbing all of them, and just putting them into like a one giant ball of metal now, I won't. Yeah. Like, I remember power in the first annual back as you mentioned, the X-Men game. So maybe that's a street fighter head. Yeah. So X X-Men vs. TIE fighter, no, I'm just

kidding. My actual choice is going to be it's tough but Turok dinosaur hunter, because basically, like I don't even remember being the best Game, like, I remembered pouring a lot of time in this game, being pretty confused, by it at first. And it was, it was something that like, you know, it was a different sort of game than what you're used to Identity for. There's a lot of similarities controls release all her. Yeah, it was, it was

interesting. But I remember pouring a lot of time into it and being forced to play it at friends houses and stuff and like, it's, it's what we're going this way. You think it's a good or bad game it for me like it's the back here for this conversation. Station just because, like, you're definitely not playing to right. Dave, I want to hear it. Dave is next? Yeah, so I have, I have experience with two of these game. Once again, guys started the

crossover event continues. The reason why I included lots, of course, and especially to well, especially the last corpse. I think it's a very forgotten game, but I just played that within the last month and I also replayed Turok for remember, 64 as well. I played both of these games this year. So as you as you move through the level there are different like zones in each level and so there's like the outside jungle

area. And the underwater has its own like environment and in music and once you go into caves, it has its own environment and music and stuff. And once I would go into the cave and see the little monsters jumping around and the music gets scarier, I would always stop playing like I didn't want to go into the Cave. The Cave was way too scary. Like I couldn't do it. I had to watch. No I had to watch either.

My dad or my stepdad get there. It was probably my dad as soon as I got to that cave the first time it was just I just blew the doors open. It was so fun. Actually I want to talk about that because you're talking about the the caves then different stages and stuff. The level design was actually something that I that I did not comprehend at the time and, you know, you're not thinking about that stuff when you're younger, right? That's never anything. That's really top of mind your

own. This is fun. This is cool. Like that's really as far as it goes and now with so much experience with games and comparing the old ones, the new ones and all that type of stuff. Like it's it's a it's a very ambitious way to make a first person shooter I think that's, that's what I felt. I felt like it was, it was unique and it felt every level felt pretty big. And yes, Mike, you're right to

rock. Have some funky controls because you're using the d-pad and the C buttons to walk around and look around, which is so funky and weird nowadays because we're used to dual joysticks right. But that's how they did it on the 64 results. Yeah. Yeah. For that game. At least. Yeah, exactly. But Turok is actually a cool choice because I think they could really do something with that. And there was definitely sequels there was like four of them or something. They're also on Gameboy.

I have Truck to on Gameboy for some reason. It's not great. But I tried that out when I replayed this one and I'm like, yeah I know. I'm just going to go back to the 64 version. This is not very good, but I want to it's hard because I want to go with like three of these at least but I think The one that could use the most updating and would probably Thrive is Tarak as well. I think I'm going to go with Turok because I think black it's a good choice.

Yeah I think last corpse would be cool because they could definitely expand upon it and do something different. Because really that game is just your all these different kind of funky mechs and machines is nothing down buildings. That's all I'm going to say Tarak to my master as well because you know - yeah it could Could be really good like a game where you're a first person shooter fighting dinosaurs like that. So much potential to be remade.

Something awesome and it's definitely a game that everyone from the 90s remembers even if you didn't play it. Everyone knows that game that at least the first couple like freely on N64 like everyone else. We're talking about the dynastar shooter game. Yeah. If he told kids these days, there's no way they don't, how would they know what Turok is, right? But it was synonymous with

Dinosaur shooter bad. When I was growing up, everyone knew the truck was that You whether you play it or not, I don't know if I had a good marketing campaign or for just had a good word of mouth or whatever, because I barely played it rented at once probably, but I still know it as a dinosaur shooter. I played these a lot. I own the first or second one, and then I played for the first or second, one at a friend's place, we always played the

multiplayer. There's again, there's another like first person shooter that had multiplayer on 64, like, just Arena shooter type thing, but had crazy guns. Like all these wild things that I came up with the sort of idea of you. Also, you know, shooting people but also dinosaurs and sort of this mix of time travel and stuff. Like you could really go crazy and just just updating controls and visuals alone. Could be something cool. Like they have a remastered or sort of Sir. Yeah.

Like remastered version or something or sort of updated version, you can buy it on Steam, it's like five bucks, or something like that for this. And the second one and whatever. But it's still the same game so you could play with your mouse and keyboard. You can play with your joysticks but like to update it and really like relaunched. Iraq would be would be cool so crazy and I really don't think I

think you're right. I think if you said there was the shooter where there was like this this native person that was running around many Arenas and shooting soldiers and dinosaurs kids would be like, wait what? Yeah, that sounds awesome. And it was it was great. You know what that was. All right, it's a win-win for a great open world game, right? Like a chat and open world or could be sort of like God of War

with a sort of like yeah. World, you know, you're sort of in this area, then you're in that area like maybe different timezones or time when you were talking about it. Dave, I thought about like pray, how pray that to video game, that would be insane to play it for a video games.

Pray was a game and, like, call it prey-predator Hunter, you know, like it would work, I will say yeah it would be kind of cool because lost Vikings is sort of a blizzard franchise that was on Super Nintendo and like the early days of consoles and PC and it's essentially a puzzle game with three different characters, they all have different abilities and stuff, I think I think you could sort of play basically make the same type of 2D puzzle game like that.

With like nicer visuals, or at least whatever, maybe get a mobile game with it. You doing mobile gamer that they're fun characters. Like I played them a lot. I didn't play them because they were very difficult to play as but I played against them or with them on the same team with the MOBA of Heroes of the Storm because they are a blizzard character set of characters and they were in that game as characters and ever fun. They're super goofy.

They're very cartoony. Like you have a lot of fun with that nowadays and kids would have no idea what they are because they haven't been around. And for I think 25 years and there's a last time they had a game was this so that could be something to but the back key for the kids these days award aka the best gamer franchise that has since been forgotten and the kids would have no idea what it is. Goes to four octaves bitches.

Okay. Next up the game, most likely to be featured on The Simpsons in place of the car, Volos putting challenge. Which I hold great category which is I don't know where you come up with this last time but I was like, this is great. I got its again.

I think I looked up like sports games it was that freedom fishing game that sparked your memory or something funny like over Christmas. I've been watching a lot of Christmas-themed, Simpsons episodes and yes, a Glee Carvalho. One is on the one of the Cross braces, which gets offered us this year and I was like, this is perfect, like, this is great for back, amazing. Yeah, yeah exactly. So these are all sports games.

And some of them, good. Some of them not so much but the nominees are Shane Warne Cricket. Winning Spike arcade game, All-Star baseball, 97 featuring Frank, Thomas and Wayne Gretzky's 3D hockey 98 which is making a reappearance. So this is I think it's not. It's this isn't like let's award the best game because I think I think we would just give it to Greg CI. Yeah. No, that's not what it's about. Yeah I think it's almost in a way that's just been eliminated.

It's about capturing the energy of the Lee Carvalho. Putting challenge. Welcome to leak our velos putting challenge. I am Carvalho. Now, choose a club you have chosen a 3-wood, may I suggest a putter 3-wood now, enter the force of your swing. I suggest feather touch. You have entered power drive. Now, push 787 to swing. I think there's a clear winner. You guys might agree with me, but I think Shane Warne Cricket. Okay. It's a random name and a random sport. Likely car.

Valves putting challenge is funny because it's random name and random sport golf. This is slow sport. Yeah. It's like this eight-year-old kid, like, somehow something I never heard of and it's Cricket, right? Yeah, that makes it hilarious. So that's I mean, that's Choice. I don't know if you guys have anything else to say but that's my choice. What's funny? Is that like it's not like and winning Spike? I should say is a volleyball

game. It's two teams against each other's international volleyball. It's an arcade game. I looked up the visuals of it, it's actually kind of cool. Like the sort of motion capture that they did with it. Sort of like the graphics on Earth. They're not, they're not terrible, but Shane Warne Cricket. Yeah, I looked it up on YouTube and I press play on a Couple videos, and the reason why this needs to win whether you guys were to vote for this or not, is that the announcer?

And the presentation is so similar to what Lee Carvalho has in the. It is so perfect that it needs to in just being selected, power drive Builder, wasn't gonna stop that 6. Well, that's a cracking shot. That's beating the Fielder to the fence. Picking me up and sick. I don't think the captain will be too pleased with his bowling. It's not that Cricket is nothing sport. It's huge, people love it. It's not huge where we are necessarily at least for us

specifically. There's actually a Cricket Club in Toronto down, the street from where it literally. There's literally there was a Cricket Club, a Canadian Cricket Club that I could walk to in 15 minutes from where I grew up as a kid. Yeah, but 12 is also huge and on Alpha is also. Uh, there's also a golf course that I could walk to for my house now. Yeah, it's like a random thing to be a video. Just Brandis. That's the that's random.

And the announcing is. This is just it's so has such a low energy and is just so ridiculous. I just like, all right, and also crickets a tough game to translate into into a video game because there's so much going on in it so I think you both sold me. I think Shane warne's probably as well Cricket challenge. Whatever it is. Yeah, he's Is Shane Warne takes home? Takes it home? Shane Warne. God God Rest his soul because I just looked it up and he's not with us anymore but he will live

on put out. He put his name out there. Yeah he will live on because he's now immortalized with the backe. The back with the back. Yeah. And also Mark David had more than one game. So, your big deal, the second you put your name on more than one game so there was a 98 version of the 99 like at. That's I mean hey it's a big deal just because the whale Gretzky of cricket. He's the Wayne Gretzky of cricket.

Exactly. All right, so the game most likely to be featured on The Simpsons in place of Lee Carvalho, putting challenge Shane Warne, crickets. Right guys, we have one last one to get to. This is going to move off of video games, and this is going to go into the B category. We talked a little bit about previously about games that were based on movies or games.

I had tie-ins to movies or TV shows, but this is going to tie into some episodes that we've done over the course of the last 12 months, and this is super fun because we have six movies to talk about. They all came out in 1997 For Better, or For Worse. We saw all of them and it is the best twin movie battles of 1997. And I'm gonna Let you take the reins on this one because this was your, your idea here, and I absolutely love it. Go for it, sir. All right, guys, this is shooting category.

It's been an interesting back East ceremony and I think the important thing to note is that we've had the general team of 1997 running through our episodes this year and you know, it's popped in and out with our reviews and whatnot. And I think from what I can gather you don't know what we're going to hit you with the back is whether screaming no prize was, it's going to be something, we celebrating, whether it's me something Worst of all of its category either waiting in a

battle to the show. It's just sort of like that's just well, whatever. I'll stop you right there. I think the through line that I've noticed is that it's stuff

we like to talk about. So that's basically that's where we're at with this and this is why I'm going to try and sway you right off the top with my best battle for a twin movies in that kind of 7. We have spawned Batman and Robin. We have Jungle 2, Jungle George of the Jungle and we have volcano Dante's Peak, I think for me. Me Volcano Dante's Peak are serviceable action, movies and are kind of in the category of, like, you could debate, which one's better for that year, but

spawn and Batman. And Robin is going to have my choice with the bonus of adding Steel in there and making it a trifecta for superhero, movies competing for the worst superhero movies of 1997. And therefore their battle is the most epic and I think whether you like spawn or hate spawn, whether you like Batman Robin or hate it, They're both competing for some interesting superhero movies of 1997 and we've reviewed both of them on this show which is why I think

the back he should go to spawn and by God we did review both those both of them this year and I'm going on. That's a great idea. The concept of to talk about the concept of twin movies, okay? This is, this is the idea, the concept and the idea where two similar movies come out with basically the same premise in the same year.

And I feel like this started happening in the 90s and I feel like people always give the same examples, they go deep impact in Armageddon and then they say Dante's Peak and volcano.

Yes, yeah. And that's why I have to go down to speak a volcano and the idea behind the twin movies thing is that it's a phenomenon that you see happen and if it does happen a lot, like there was two Jungle Book movies that came out, two years ago, there was Avatar, way of water this year and black panther with Namor Or it's like these weird. There's these weird things that happen with these movies that are identical, they're Shootin ochio, movies is yokum's wreath.

And yeah, somebody said the theory behind it is that sort of the Studio's kind of hear the other Studios making it and it kind of like forces, the other Studios hand, they kind of rush to get their movies out, right? They have sort of movies in the making and they sit on it for years and it's all there. She was making this movie. So yeah, yeah. So you can see it, why? It kind of happens. But people always point back to these years in the 90s, I feel

like it started in the 90s. That's just twin movie phenomenon and I have to Give it to Dante's Peak in Inferno because it's a sort of it's sort of the classic example of the

twin movie, right? That's that's why I yeah I think I think that's why I was leaning towards that too is because that is volcano and Dante speaker exactly to me what it seems like everybody refers to because not only that some people get mixed up as to which ones which yeah, you know, it's sort of that like effective like and I don't think you can, you can mix up.

I mean Maybe jungle the jungle and George of the Jungle, maybe just because of the title, but like, spawn is spawn and Batman and Robin is Batman and Robin. The two very different movies because of just the way they're presented, I do. It reminds me of when Studios were pushing like even recently like with Civil War and Batman vs Superman, like Studios pushing that Superhero film, that's going to really break

like, yeah, you know? Yeah, break them out, yet Civil War and your Batman v Superman. Like it's happening. More and more. These days. I feel like I feel like I came Top of my head but I'm sure if you were to look it up there, it'd be a lot more common in the too late 2000s. 2010's than even the 90s. So this is running out of ideas, man. They're not. They had started in 97 or it started in 95. Whatever triggers. An Armageddon and dependents just gotten worse.

It's gotten worse from there, so I think you're right. I agree. But I'm gonna go volcano and Dante's Peak for the exact reasons that you gave Mike because I think you said it really well. So I'll sort of leave it at that and I do remember it's a good time and enjoying both these movies. I do. Yeah. No, it's a good choice, a good. Like I mentioned them up top, but at the same time, like I tried to give it back, he the Batman Robin on the show and not on my watch, not on my watch

friend. In fact, yes. So it is but that's the thing about Dante's Peak volcano. I think they're more. So in the conversation than Armageddon because they were closing quality, it's not like you had one and then you had another and that's true.

Very that very clear which is the winner and this one, it's like, okay whatever and in the same respect spawn and Batman Robin and Batman. I was just saying that's not that's just not the classic example people give so it doesn't shrink but I will be interested. I really want to keep this category going. I want to see if next year. We can find twin movies, 98, the Arts that we can find twin music 99. I really want to see how far we can keep this category.

Was a really good idea. It's really fun II. Don't, I don't want to do the research. So in this one's on you Sonia. Yeah, that's fair. That's fair. Alright the first the first backe to a movie because it's the first like strictly movie category goes to volcano, / done, tasty already likes. Welcome back to you. Okay. So the 1997 back. He's gentlemen, this is great. Cheers. Cheers again as we enter our

second, go around for the back. He's aged seven, we had some great, great back, he's this year, it was honestly, it's fantastic more categories. The better next year we're going to keep getting bigger and better, Jeff Keel, he's going to have to give us a call and start up his game next December because it's just not, it's just sorry man. So you know fellow fellow Canadians He's just he's fallen behind. So bye guys.

Yeah, I must say, I'm just proud that we were able to give Heroes of Might and Magic to a backe because I think that franchise is very special to me and evidently to power as well. And you know, I even mentioned it on my first episode back Monday. I'm definitely five I mentioned. Here's my magic 3 and that just goes to show you. Like this is why we do the back is things. We want to talk about exactly but from our childhood, it's because we have no time to play the the wall.

These me, I have no time to do these things now. So it's all I'm just In the past. Basically put it back. When I used to have fun. Good point. My memories are fun. My life now sucks. Oh, yeah. It's exactly essentially. That's what being an adult is overrated. I don't grow up kid. Dave is having a lot of fun reviewing games. So I don't know, it's not all. I'm reviewing new stuff, but I'm also reviewing these 64 games. So you know, I'm going back and forth. Exactly.

So okay, so 20:23 is here somehow 25 years ago was 1998. So we have 1998 stuff to go through. Now, there's no spawn to go back to, there's no Batman and Robin. But there's other things we're going to get to and For Better, or For Worse. We're going to start looking through 1998 games and movies. So look forward to that going forward until that time.
