This week Earl and Jurek play two racing games on the Nintendo Gameboy! First up is Wave Race, which sadly is nothing like Wave Race 64. There is absolutely nothing spectacular about this game. The only thing it has going for it is without it, we wouldn't have great games like Wave Race 64 or Blue Storm. They then play Hot Wheels Stunt Track Driver. The guys have a lot more fun with this game. Turns out doing sweet tricks with Hot Wheels cars is fun in real life AND in video games! Come have a d...

Jurek and Earl hit the virtual pinball table as they play Sonic Spinball for the Sega Genesis! This game's concept was pretty much a no-brainer for Sega, but how fun can it really be? Perhaps with a little tweaking of the difficulty the game might be fun, but as it stands, this game is just way too hard to casually play. The guys still get a little enjoyment out of it though! Come have a drink with us! Cheers!
