Finding Serenity in Gaming: Scott's Adventures from Evercade to Stardew Valley

George and Seb rolling down the road RGT , riding , shotgun , a heavy load , pastor Longhorn waiting to unfold An El Paso , texas tale's been told , one-armed , big , being a sight to see .

Oh my head . Why is the light hurt in my eyes ? I can't remember what happened . A little bit of a bump . Last thing I remember I was in the back of the cupboard . Longhorn wanted me to clean up at the high , hard-to-reach areas and then I tripped over and then I saw about Pirate Pete and gallivanting around Europe .

are you ? How are you doing ? I'm all right . How are you ? You look a bit worse for wear .

I am a bit worse for wear my fluffy little pumpkin .

What's that lamp on your head ?

it's which , that one that's been there a long while , but this one , this is , I'm not sure I've definitely fallen over . I feel a bit . I feel a bit concussed , a bit dizzy , I'm not quite sure .

On the reality , of what's real or what isn . Am I a figment of your imagination ?

I'm sure you're here . I can see you , I can smell you . You smell like fish and chips .

I'm definitely here . Then , how are you ? I'm very well , how are you ? Not too bad , not too bad , good , good , good , good . Well , hello everyone and welcome .

Something a little bit different , something which may have been done before and , I'm sure , something we'll probably repeat in a year's time , because it's one of those things that could evolve and change . Oh , definitely , yeah , it's not one of those things that's set in stone and , as we discussed , pre-show of what we was going to talk about .

Yeah , I know it's always the way with these and it's always the way . But yeah , I mean we won't be doing any news this week because at the moment , it always just seems to be bad news with gaming going on , with games and consoles and companies and bits and pieces to one side , and , uh , you know we'll , we'll try this .

Um , I've been dabbling on different systems , a few games on my switch , um , juggling lots of different games . So I'll start off with what I've been playing most recently um and this would be a good one , as you're on with me today is lake . Um , I played it most recently , even yesterday . I know that you've completed the game .

Story driven yeah , definitely a story sort of adventure . Graphically it reminds me a bit of the Telltale , walk and Dead games . It's got that sort of aesthetic to it , the almost yeah , I've got cell shaded sort of um style to it . But , yeah , I know , yeah , fellow presenter bobby didn't like this game , but I love this game .

Yeah , so that's that's why I want to talk about , because I've been sort of bit of two minds of it . So I keep going back to it . So I'll play it for like an hour half an hour , play another game , then I go back to it .

I'll give you a little hint . I'll give you a little hint Make sure to do a safe place there , because if you want to go for the platinum , you'll need to make both decisions , if I remember rightly . I'll play it again .

I'll play it again . I've really enjoyed it . There's so much I could talk about for ages and I've talked about it in a couple of videos , so I won't go on too much . But yeah , it is . It is a really good game . It's very , very different . I sort of describe it as Firewatch , because it's one of those adventure games .

Oh yeah , it's got that vibe yeah .

I don't know how to categorise it , it's so unique . I don't even know what genre it is .

You know it's one of those ones . I think for me , when I played it , I think the reason I liked it so much was because I think I was coming off the back of a rpg . So sometimes me and george always say you need a little calm and palate cleanser before you get into the next big game . And this was good , and I'll tell you what else .

It's slow , but I'm enjoying it for what it is . I even texted you yesterday . I've had a bit of a stressful week at work . Yesterday I was playing it in the evening and then I was driving around . I turned the music off you can turn the radio off . I was listening to the rain beating the windshield and I was just thinking this is nice , this is the life .

um , well , before we get into me , I did see your video you've done on the conscript oh see , it's another one . So that's another one I forgot I didn't even know about this game . I'm like you . I'm a bit of a fanboy of Team 17 . Yeah , same , they seem to be publishing and finding these games . It's always seemed to come out Good price on Switch .

Exactly right , don't miss it , I'm the same . It's not like dredge ship of falls , and I think that's how I saw conscripts , because I was , you know . You know like your phone listens to you , you the algorithm . So I think it just kept on coming up with Team 17 games .

Yeah , I think that's something I'm going to have to pick up . I think , because I've been playing quite a few of their games and they just seem to get so many unique titles that they publish . That's worth picking up isn't it ?

If you're really here I mean , I don't know how hard I've hit my head if this is the hospital room or if I'm still in Longhorn's basement , but if you are back in the cult , then obviously I could just sling my copy across the room and you can play it here .

Yeah , perfect , yeah , perfect . Then you'll find out if I am here or not . If you throw it and it just goes straight through me , then maybe I'm not Straight through the wall .

The fourth and the fifth wall .

So is that all you've been playing then , Scott

I would say so because there's been so many games that I've played just briefly , so otherwise I'll be waffling on for way too long .

Yeah

Have you tried the Tomb Raider , one on the Evercade or the Legacy of ? Was it the new ones or just some older titles ?

I've been buying various ones . I've been playing various ones . Now , the games I'm actually playing , I can't remember what cartridge they're on , whether it's Data East or Interplay , or I just can't remember .

Oh , so more of the indie games . I haven't tried the Tomb .

Raider yet . The only reason I haven't tried the Tomb Raider yet , the only reason I haven't tried the Tomb Raider yet and I know I'm probably being a bit wimpy , but it's because it's

Yeah , I thought you could turn them off . I'm pretty sure I saw .

Switch up there , but you can't on the Evercade .

Yeah , because Evercade is whether they might . They might add that because you can update your Evercade . They might add that as an update . So if I do that , then I might have to go to the modern controls . I know it's not the original way to play , but it's with my old hands . Now tank controls are quite a minefield .

Well , evercade , if you're listening , if you're listening Evercade , please change that for RGT .

Yeah , give us a little update , a little firmware update .

And we'll send you a mug .

Yeah , I'm talking about you every week . You know week week , nudge , nudge . But yeah , I've been playing . I found a game on there called Battle Chopper , which is like a have you ever played Fantasy Zone ?

That definitely rings a bell ? Was that definitely rings a bell ? Is that in the Mega Drive Fantasy ?

Zone . Yeah , in Masters that's on a lot of things . It's like a yeah , they call it a cute-em-up . So it's like a little cute sort of shoot-em-up where you go left and right on the screen and you collect certain things and you upgrade your bombs and bits and pieces . Brilliant soundtrack , brilliant little game . It's something system a lot .

Yeah , yeah , yeah that's great that might have even been 87 , I think . So it must have been an arcade vertical , sorry horizontal shooter , I'm assuming yeah , and you can go up and down in levels as well .

Some are different . You've got bosses yeah it's , it's really , it's really unique , very good . I'd say I'd best describe it as a bit more of a bigger boys fantasy zone .

When did you start playing it ? Like you know , the remaster , sort of Switch version when did you start playing that ?

Oh , as of recording this last week .

Oh good , the only thing I was going to say is it must have had a lot of updates , because I think it got heavily , you know .

Yeah , I think it was at launch . I think it was a bit rough yeah .

Yeah , I heard it was unplayable , almost .

Yeah , I've only . Like I say , I'm on Arkham Asylum , first game on plan , handheld mode . I haven't played on the TV . Handheld mode haven't played on the tv . Handheld mode looks very good , frame rate solid . Um plays very well . I haven't . I haven't even noticed a frame drop yet , so I would imagine that's been patched right up .

But yeah , you've already got into right , right time then yeah .

So you know , for free games . I mean , what did I pay for that 30 bucks ? You can't complain at that . Three massive batman games , you know , for 30 bucks on a handheld , brilliant . So been enjoying that not too far in a couple hours , really enjoying that . Um , I have also .

You're not competing , you're helping each other .

you can do it , so you keep the money separate , but we have all the money in the same pot . So one will wander off and say , oh right , I'm just going to get some seeds . We're a bit short . One can go off foraging , One can go and you just go off in your own ways .

Hold on . You're telling me you haven't got a secret . You know that Mrs RGT can't access . That's where you put the special seeds , the pumpkin seeds Are we talking about ? Stardew or real life . I mean , I've hit my head pretty hard .

Yeah , no , I was pretty honest in the game . We've got this one bank there , all the money going , and it's really good , because I don't know if you've ever played .

It sounds like good fun . I've seen lots of footage of it . I haven't played it properly . I've only literally played it for like five minutes , I think , to see what it was about , played other farming simulators and stuff . But I know it's got a massive , massive following . There's constant updates and people always . You know it's one of those forever games .

I mean , this game got my wife really into gaming . She was very , very like gamers or iPad occasional game , but she wasn't really understanding controls and how the control pads worked or switches work . But Switch Lite , stardew Valley , and now she is 200 hours in on Stardew loves it .

It's a lovely story .

Yeah , it appeals to so many people . I've got a friend and his wife who is , again , they are not into she's not into games at all and they just play a game called Farm together , which is a very indie you know um version , cheaper version or farm and I see him on switch . He plays it every night . He logs on about half an hour an hour before bed .

You can go as fast or as slow as you want to take it well , I think the good thing is as well , especially for mrs rgt , is the worrying thing for her with gaming was , especially if you're playing like an open world game , are you doing it correctly ? Uh , you know , am I doing this wrong ? Am I gonna die ? Am I gonna do this ?

Yeah it's your own pace , is there ?

any way of growing certain vegetables . No , you grow what you want . Is there any cattle you should have ? No , you know , and that's what she loves . There's no wrong way of doing it . She can get to anything she wants mine and all the bits and it's just an endless game . You can play it for as long as you want .

I'm glad you're practising , because the waterhole in El Paso is dried up so there's no fish and the potato patch is really struggling . So I could do with any skills or assistance . You know , tips that you've got . We're starving . We're starving down here .

Once my $4,000 payment got well , once we're starving we're starving down here once , um , my four thousand dollar payment that george done last week is cleared , then hopefully I'll be back in and bring all my starter experience . I think it's more about .

I think he's malnourished . George george , yeah , I've got . He's got a little bit of moisture around his lips . He should be all right , but he's not eating for a few days . It's . It's been tough weather conditions this week in el pasoo really has .

Yeah , I heard he's been a bit poorly , bless him . But yeah , other than that , I've also got EAFC 25 . So I get it every year . George normally bans me from talking about EAFC because he finds it quite boring , but I will say so , far far , I'm absolutely loving it . I buy every year the afc or fifa does it used to be .

You know , pre-evolution soccer might have merged in . That might be what ea have gone with .

They took the best of both worlds maybe I think because I might be wrong here I think ea pulled a pulled a bit of a flanker on fifa because obviously this deal that fell through that I mean rumors were , rumors were um FIFA organization wanted $350 million a year for using the name and EA eventually went no , we're not doing that .

So , yeah , that's your fifa , fifa , fifa . That's not a bad shout , yeah , yeah save the , save the money from it .

Well , you're supposed to be doing another game with 2k . They're supposed to be doing a new fifa game with 2k and so I think , I have said right , wow , this is , this is how you do a football game . See what you got .

That's good , because normally when you get a new FIFA game each year , I should stop calling it now or EA game . So when you get it , normally the first week

I think last year's game I'd play on legendary level , um , and you know , not saying I'm brilliant , but I'd I'd be comfortable at that level so this year legendary or is it world class ?

Is it the legendary top , is it ?

I think there might be one above legendary , some sort of one off the top , I think . But this year I always start at my professional level and just see where it is . But this year I thought , well , I was on legendary , We'll just go in at world class level and see where I am . First game tonked , absolutely tonked . And I thought this game

I'm still on world-class yeah .

I'm still on world-class level but I've had to change lot of American football so I actually want to get the season started about three weeks ago , so I'd be really into that . So I wanted to get a Madden to not play one in years and now discovering the baseball game , I like that , but I might have to jump on that as well .

One more thing on that as replays now the replay system , I mean everything's been overhauled pretty much , even in a minor way or something's a big way . But when I do the instant replays now I'm strut away . Sometimes that'll go straight into first person mode .

Yeah , I hear nothing but good things about it . Oh what ?

a game Scott .

Game of the year .

Are you throwing it in there ? I would say so far , easily my game of the year by a margin , by a big , big margin . I've always been a fan of Astro Bot . I said a few years ago , which is through gritted teeth , and I said this to Rampage Talk on Instagram the other day when he put his post up . I said he said no , I put my post on .

I felt like that when I when I I didn't realize until seb said on a previous show that the astrobot um original game is on pre-loaded so so I went .

That's actually not the third game , that one , that's all right .

So it's kind of like yeah , yeah it's kind of like a um , a demo of showing how good the controller is .

That's how I felt it was showing you how good the PS5 controller is .

But then at one point it did feel a bit Odyssey-like , like I was throwing my hat around . I did feel like you know .

Well , I was listening to . Actually today I was listening to Retro Asylum , with Chris Worthington on there and he was talking about Astro Bot and he said this gives off vibes of a 90s 3D platformer . Oh yeah , it's better . You know , the graphics are fantastic , you've got haptic feedback , you've got the controller , but it's that nailed , polished 3D platformer .

Um , which you play any online sort of any go-to regular online multiplayer games that you play . Any reason why , just with that game ? Not the game , not the Game Pass , but with the PlayStation Plus . I realised Rainbow Six Siege is on there and that's on the Game Pass as well , and I've been starting to play that for half

That's never really been my jam really , but I mean going for online games at the moment .

No , the occasional game with a mate on EAFC Do you do online seasons on there , or is it just campaign ?

Back in 17 , 18 , 19, . I was big into I didn't play foot , I used to just play career seasons 1718? .

How old are you ? 1718? .

That was a fair few years ago . No , I mean the year 1718 . God , if it hadn't been me 1718 . It's that concussion again . Yeah , the internet was very in its infancy then .

Just a hamster in a wheel in longhorn's basement .

Yeah , one of the g4 skinny pigs turning it over providing internet to the world I used to play it regularly every night and I got up to like division one . I was in top division and played all the time . But I just got one day and I just thought , no , it's , that's all I'm playing , I'm not experiencing anything else .

It's a good time , though , yeah , as long as you're enjoying yourself . It means a lot more . It means a lot more .

But there was a bit of controversy at the time with cheating with some of the top guys and that put me off a little bit because I thought that's a bit naughty what they were .

I remember a couple of years ago when I was in our flat a long time ago I don't know what FIFA it was , it was an Xbox 360 . I remember I was playing it every night and I got Division 4 as good as I could get . If I played computer I probably wouldn't be above a professional level on the settings difficult settings .

I'll that I've scored a goal so good . He thinks I've cheated . Well , I think what I think what put me off just going over it briefly was when I was sort of high up the divisions . Um , you had your regular big guys who were playing youtube and streaming and doing the bits and then they were the top sort of three or four , had no losses playing online .

That is very , very clever , but how do you even work that out ? And these turned out that's desperation .

All these top guys were doing it and I thought do you know what ? If they're doing that when we're putting the hours in to try and get up . I'm done with online . Yeah , fair enough , you lose a bit of faith in it . So , yeah , it was very disappointing . But you know , never say never With how good this new one is so far .

I was just going to say I'm glad you've said now what we're going to be talking about . We probably should have said it at the beginning of the show , so we're probably a fair few minutes in . People are probably tuned off , thinking this is the EA Sports Football Edition podcast . So yeah , we're going to go through each genre Not sponsored .

Can I just interrupt you Because I know what's going to happen here . You're now going to start naming games . I'm thinking , damn , I should have had that on my list .

No , that's what it's a bit I mean , yeah , I've got you know , probably like a dozen .

That's a good example .

Yeah , red Dead Redemption was one that that's because I've played it recently . You know Literally that was . I completed it earlier this year , re-completed it on a .

Switch . What's that like on a Switch ?

Plays well , Well , I haven't . Yeah , I think fantastic . I heard there's a little bit of a graphic upgrade as well , it looks a bit better than it does on the PS3 , et cetera . Well , as soon as it , yeah , as soon as . I think it's just like ray tracing they do .

I think people have more nostalgia because 3 was obviously the big start point for the big 3D open world game . Voice City was the one where everyone went oh , it's 80s and all the music and bits and pieces . But George always says to me San Andreas is the best game . Technically he's correct because it's the biggest one .

Oh really .

Oh , the rain was . They literally had just white lines . Oh like gasoline on a screen , yeah , and it just like these white , and you're just like I can't see anything . Then you stood under a bridge and the rain still come through the bridges and everything and I was like , oh , this is buggy , left it a while .

We played through Three and Vice .

City . We played through that . We got so far . In San Andreas we couldn't do it anymore because of work commitments and bits , but playing them back through once they were patched is good fun . It is good fun . Yeah , definitely Sorry . Carry on .

I sort of interrupted you , that's all right . Yeah , another one . This one's probably more of an underrated one and people might not agree with me , but one that I enjoyed . I think it was Xbox One . It was out . I didn't complete the second one , but Tom Clancy's A Division . I just got like I had a really good time with it . I completed it .

But yeah , tom Carty for the division Fantastic Mickey off of Discord Finster . If you're on our Discord you might have seen him on there with his figures and Warhammer bits and pieces .

But if I remember rightly , he was a big online division player , right , I'm ?

sure he really . Yeah , I think he played that quite a bit . Yeah , yeah , you never know , you might have been the one I was shooting at .

Um , another strange , um , another strange recommendation again . It's probably not . It's just good about these lists because they're not going to be . You know , it's not like if you googled the top 10 or anything like that , I'm going to come out with some weird ones . I'm going to throw another one right now Deadly premonition , which ? The second one I didn't .

Have a look on um playstation premium I think there's one or two of them on there for the remastered ones oh , mate , I'll do .

If they're on there , I'll do that .

I know it's a bit of a cop out me saying , saying it is a favorite .

you know open world , but I just wanted to acknowledge that was one you know , pay homage to it , that have heard a lot of good things . I know I'm going to like it and I want to play that one .

The first one , even though it seems a bit empty now because it's an older game . But they nailed the era really well . The cast , even the radio had the period music on oh mate , I can't , that's next week . I mean .

I'm off somewhere next few days , but I'll be playing that next week Definitely .

We'll talk about that in the next show .

Yeah , really awesome quality .

Out of all those , have you got a favourite open world game ? Have you got ?

out of all those , my dead set favourite . Do you know what I'll probably would say yeah , I'd probably say Red Dead Redemption . To be honest , that's a good show . Yeah , it's most in there . You know , I was trying to think , I was thinking today and I was thinking there's going to be something I've missed or forgotten about .

that's , fine , I'll play that

And they it's such a good game . Yeah , the only thing I would say is if , obviously , once you've completed the game , would you really stay around after you've done all the side quests ? That's the other thing . Yeah , with GTA , like we've you know , say , sanjay , that was my second choice , they were both up there . I can just , I can gang bang , baby .

Yeah , I think as well , especially with the first red . Not , not , obviously not the time , you know . You can only render so much , but yeah , great choice , yeah .

Let me know yours then .

I had some very similar ones . Red Dead again , basically because me and my mate . He played it first . It's still his number one game of all time . He just said to me look , get this . We started playing it . You know , and then talking about it in the evenings , how far you got , what mission you're on , and I was just like this is phenomenal .

You know , I've had so many friends who recommended that game to me years ago and I was like no , no , not interested , not interested . When I started playing it I was like oh my God , I see , you know we , we .

We then finished the game . Then we started playing online . Um , he and he thought he'd try online out . Anyway , he phoned me the next day and said oh , I played till like four in the morning online . I met this guy from America . We went round , possied up together , we're doing all these missions and I thought that sounds brilliant .

But that was just good times like that , brilliant , so yeah while we're on the subject , a bit of a a strange story , but I share because it's come up that , um , the undead , you know the undead version .

oh , yeah , I think it has since the uh . Since the uh re-release has come out , everyone suddenly wanted to get the originals .

Yeah like , yeah , the uh , they sort of been a bit of a price spike of the 360 games and anyway , that one game I had it but it's gone . It's a bit of a it's very strange one . I had , um , basically in the games room there is a you know cylinder and stuff in the corner . I had a tradesman working in the games room .

That was the days when dlc came on discs yeah well , exactly that yeah that's that might be , why , it's gone up in value in case the dlc gets taken away .

That might be a possibility , actually , good point , yeah that is very good point .

Um , yeah , sorry , what else you got , buddy ? No , so yeah , red dead . Uh , red dead 2 . I mean it was very close to my top spot , that is as I mean for a western game , for a , a story , for setting , for graphics as well . I mean it made my PS4 sound like it was going to take off like a chinook . I mean it was brilliant .

I've not played it . I've not played it . I know the Lego one's come out , which made me think a bit more . I know we covered that , but I've not played that . That's on the Game Pass , isn't it ?

Yeah , I think it is yeah yeah , On premium yeah , yeah . I've said this before on the show . I won't go into it too much . I've said this a hundred times before . I tried two or three times playing at 10 hours in 15 . I just couldn't get into it . And then george just said just take it to that next level and play it .

I know Ubisoft , and it's as we say , I'm sure a lot of people would have . You know , and it's as we say , I'm sure a lot of people would have you know a lot of people do , but there's certain titles that . It's just there's certain ones in a series people don't like . That's what I would say .

Mine was my favourite and really good open world game . George struggled with it . He didn't like it . He played it later on . But I played it about a year after release and that was Origins . That was when the games that had their format of Assassin's Creed games . They'd done it for so long . They just got really thin on the grain . No one was interested .

Yeah , I've got a friend , rob Nottskamer , he's done . Yeah , thousands on it as well . Yeah , so every either clicks of you or it doesn't .

Yeah , it didn't at first . Because it didn't at first because it wasn't so much the state it released in , it was what a week before , um , jordan Murray was his name I can't remember the guy who was the lead developer and he was promising all his air to air space combat and all this and that which wasn't in the game .

Um , was there some planets in no man's sky that weren't populated of anything ? Or is that um the other big release ? I know that yeah , I heard someone say that there's like hundreds of planets but there's nothing on them . They're rather . Someone said it perfectly , so they're rather . There was just 30 , but with stuff on yeah , starfield um I think it's .

it's specifically generated on no man's sky , so whenever you land you've got different animals and different creatures .

Yeah , yeah , I played it a little bit yeah .

Yeah , so that's quite good . Oh , I also had Spider-Man 1 and 2 .

Yeah , you know you've got to have them Got to have it ?

Got to have it Platinum both , and Miles Morales , which is the best one though . Oh , oh wow .

Different reasons isn't there Different ?

reasons . Spider-man was awesome just because you know you play it and think this is how you make a Spider-Man game . This is brilliant . They've perfected that Well done . Insomniac Awesome . Then you played Miles Morales . It was a very early release , came out with a PS5 .

Um , oh , that's hard to say something . Do you want to see something cool ?

Do you want to see something cool .

I'm pretty sure this is the very first Spider-Man game ever , so it's a boxed , very good condition . It's Spider-Man for the 2600 , I think this one is .

No way , Parker .

yeah , I'm pretty sure that's his first .

That's the first time I've seen the box art for that . I've seen the cartridge , but I've never seen the box art . That's awesome box art as well yeah oh , yeah , it's beautiful .

Yeah , green Goblin Spider-Man's falling on his back . Yeah , that's really cool .

I think that was I'm pretty sure that was the first video game with Spider-Man yeah , I think you might be right , so yeah , but my number one and I know quite a few people won't agree with me my number one open world game is Breath of the Wild you teased me and then you dropped it in .

Was it the fact that it was such an involvement and it was such a wow and shock factor ? Is that why you chose it over Tears of the Kingdom ? Because once Tears of the Kingdom came out , you'd already experienced it .

yeah 100% , 100% . Don't get me wrong .

Yeah , I enjoyed Tears of the Kingdom more than I enjoyed Breath of the Wild . I played it more than the other . But obviously I can imagine , as a you know , obviously I love the switch , but I've said before I'm not the biggest , hugest zelda fan .

And just for me , I'll tell you what is the difference between Tears of the Kingdom and Breath of the Wild . Breath of the Wild was , like you say , 100% , first time you've seen this . So you open it up and think , wow , they have done a massive , open world which it was . A massive open world , it's a big map .

I remember when I first played Breath of the Wild , I think where I got I first turned it off and got a bit frustrated with it was I couldn't find any fire pits and I went to , like you know , a cold area . I didn't have anything and I was trying to pick these chillies and cook something up to put a bit of warmth on , you know , take the frost off .

Tears of the .

Kingdom . It didn't bother me , but on Breath for a while when I first encountered that dynamic . Literally it just really wobbled me , it really did .

It is obtuse at start the planes . You know what . What's going on ? And I tried two or three times , couldn't get it . But there was just something that ticked me , thinking you've got to play this game . There's a reason you need to play this game .

I always , I'm always going for the um on tears of the kingdom . I was going mad and the shrines trying to get the um stamina . I just went .

I'd done the stamina first and then went hard to get the master yeah because ? Because then you could just climb and you know , there was yeah oh , it's great what you're talking about .

It's making me smile , you know . Just remembering , I had that experience with tears of the kingdom . I , I think more than with Breath of the Wild .

They're very , very well-crafted games . And also when you think of I know , breath of the Wild is just a Wii U game on a Switch , but Tears of the Kingdom is a very big game to have on a Switch . They've done well to get that on there , it does really well yeah . But yeah , so yours is Red Dead dead , mine is breath of the world .

That's a good one , very good well next on our list .

We're changing up completely . Now we are going for horror , so do you want me to go first on this one ?

yeah , you go first , yeah right .

Um , you've obviously got your classics , so on my list I've got things like well , it's got to be resident even and resident evil original one , playstation one . Um , I've spoke about this before so I'll be brief . My mate used to speed run .

Go in there , there's ammo , green herb bang , you know , and you're like wow , he'd run through it in minutes I've seen people I've seen on pictures of I don't know where it was I'm not on facebook , instagram , but I've seen people I've seen on pictures of I don't know where it was , I'm not on Facebook , instagram , but I've seen people share it might have been

Yeah , so it's me running out of ammo dog coming at me , yeah , just blasting all up the ceiling , yeah , um . But then you think , like res 2 , and you had I always get the names from claire and who's the other guy in res 2 I cannot remember . Oh , I always forget their names . Anyway , you had the guy and the girl and then you'd play the game through .

Yes , I have yeah .

And then , obviously , then you play from the other side of the burning tank with the other character . Is it Leon Leon ?

yeah , yeah , it's come up , leon , yeah , yeah .

And then you play as Leon through his game , you play as Claire through her game . Then you could leave this is what always fascinated me in the day you could leave ammo in storage from where you met . Yeah , yeah , yeah , and then you could .

Cold Fear , Great shout yeah , yeah , I think I'll put that on the Xbox OG I think yeah , and I'll tell you what that looks very good on the OG Xbox .

I mean it looks good on the PS2 , but it looks good . It's almost got that Res 4 feel to it over-the-shoulder third-person shooter , but this time you're on the sort of zombie , russian sort of taken over warship , unique , spooky in the day , walking down dark corridors and that . That unique spooky in the day walking down dark corridors , and that that's good .

I'm not sure I've not played it , but I'll tell you what I'm going to be playing that very soon .

Now this spawned a whole genre of games and the reason being Until Dawn . It's got that teen B-movie horror style to it . But everyone I knew that played it and we'd done the same thing . We played it as a movie , we did not play it as a game . So you're all sitting in the same room .

I want to say thank you because I haven't . I mean , that's what's good about these lists , is ? I'm hoping some of the listeners will hear some games from here and think you know what ? I've not heard of that and that's what's just happened for me , so I'm going to play that If it's good playing on your own if you really want to have a good night .

get a couple of mates around , get a few beverages and then spot the controller and go around and play it like you're watching a horror movie . Don't play it as a game . Play it as you're watching a horror movie , and it's so much fun . It's really really good . Do it . Yeah , do it .

Longhorn's on a one-in , one-out , no-view policy at the moment , so I'll have to do it . When somebody's on his rounds , I'll try and sneak someone under the metal metal slash timber fence .

Yeah , yeah , Sneak

For me , for me , horror games I have got , I will save off . I will save my favorite one for the end . So , um , this is a real hidden gem , an underrated one . You might see a youtube short at the time of this video coming up for it . Um , not proper horror , scary , but among the sleep on the switch you can pick it up for like 10 pound .

Really it sounds a bit . It probably isn't , but it's .

When you said isometric and top-down , that's one I probably should have mentioned and I didn't and I've played recently and that's very appreciated because I got that physical when it came out . Yeah , I've got the physical it doubled in price in the last few months , has it really ?

Yeah , because everyone on 9's told me I bought that for I bought it for like a few pounds .

Literally Same same I think it was 10 , 20 quid , even on release . It's one of those ones that people have realised it's a great game . So yeah , that's another great shout-out Signalis . My top two favourite I'm going to leave out . I appreciate I've tried them . I love being scared .

I know what you mean . I played a game . I don't know if you ever played the Vanishing of Ethan Carter . No , I haven't . I haven't that's like a walking sim , but there's one bit .

And a lot of the best ones are like that walking sims , yeah .

The best ones on the PC bit . We have to walk through this mine and there's a haunted miner who comes after you and what he does ? He , when you hear the bell ringing as soon as you turn around , is in your face . And I've done that two or three times . I've never picked the game up since . No , I'm done with that . That's and my missus always says .

and I go .

Yeah , it's not as bad as that , but it's close because she always laughs and I've never played it since . That scared the life out of me , that game .

I know what you mean . There's two , two in which are on the list . So one I really did enjoy was Blair Witch . That was an enjoyable game , but it hasn't made the list . I know that's just popped into my head , but that was quite good . But real average game really was um , oh , yeah , that was it .

As you said .

Resident Evil . I'm going to say Silent Hill 1 , as you said Resident Evil . So I've got to cover the classic Good call Silent Hill . I'm going to go with just the first one . I've got them , all of them , and I'm still working my way through them playing . At the moment I play a bit of the second , a bit of the third , but the first one .

I was playing at PS1 original yeah you sometimes find in a tight space on the ps1 . You get that because you get the warp , and if you notice ps1 on the outer sides of the screens , yeah , you get a bit of wobble . It's just most games do it . It's just part of the system . But in certain tight areas that does make you feel a bit when you do .

But I'm just thankful now that obviously you can go online and youtube when you get stuck . You don't have to look up finding a cheat guide . So , um , yeah , so I'll mention that one . Uh , last little half dozen want to cover . Uh , this one is sort of probably my third favorite . I would say this is um clock tower .

Just before you say that I stopped ordering no disrespect , limited run people like them . You know they do some fantastic limited editions and physical copies of games that you can't get great . Um , the last one I pre-ordered was streets are age four . Um , I've waited about 10 months for it .

But everyone was playing Streets of Rage 4 because they'd bought from another company so they didn't actually just have the licence on their own . I thought , yeah , Hmm , I prefer some of , because when they say it's released , it's released , yeah , super Red , they get you . But yeah , I digress so with Clock Tower .

Yeah , so I've got 50 quid , yeah , and that was only last year , I think . That's less of what I was new .

Yeah , so I've got just the loose cart . I thought it must be fake , but it looks absolutely legit . It really does . And yeah , it just . And no one came in with it to him saying you know , when people go in a shop and they know what they've got , it just came in , so they didn't . They weren't aware of the game either , you know .

Well , I'll tell you , you can borrow off me , because you said it's a Famicom game .

Yeah .

Yeah , but I've got a original from back in the day Super Nintendo cartridge converter . Have you cartridge converter ? Have you ? Yeah , so what you have to do , you put your Famicom game , didn't know it existed .

Yeah , right , okay , there's not many of them .

I've got a Super .

Nintendo one Like a Super Game Boy where you put it in the top .

Yeah , you put it in the top , but you have to put a PAL game on the back to trick the system that that's a PAL game player back cartridge slot . Put clock tower on the top , plug it in while you go . So you can borrow that off me . You can play that .

That sounds like the sort of cheat someone would come up with if they was trying to show they had won all their games on EA Sports 24 or FIFA . I'll say no more Other games . I want to talk about some indie ones which are very good . Again , these are super rare . Sally Face , fantastic indie game , all these are super rare . Oh , it's fantastic .

I played one of them on a ps3 . I bought it years ago . I know you can . People are gonna say I'm quite sad and if you'd seen my setup I took on my last holiday . You know I'm quite sad , but anyway , I always had a console on holiday with me

Yeah , that was good . I enjoyed that that was good fun yeah before I mentioned before . I mentioned my top two . We just uh , pay some respect . Some of the big hitters . I've only got um like siren . I haven't played it yet . I know I've got siren 2 . I know the first ones on playstation plus . Um , I've got haunting grounds as well .

I think Badabinkster off our Discord . He gets all of his games from Italy .

Yeah , I was trying to find it from there .

He had two or three copies because that's about a third of the price if you buy the Italian pal to buy on the UK pal .

I might hit him up , because he's not too far from me bad a binkster yeah , yeah . But yeah , my friend mitch said he'd lend it to me , like he did with clock tower on the ps1 , to be fair interest in that game yeah , I don't know much about rule of the rose .

Not so long ago Rule of Rose was a £1,000 game not so long ago .

Oh it is , Don't get me wrong , it's ridiculous .

But I've just been on holiday . I went into two CXs within a 30-mile radius of each other . Both had Rule of Rose in for £495 . So that's the first time I've ever seen Rule of Rose and they both had one , I think that is the price .

Yeah , maybe people are just .

Yeah , so where that's come from in the market . I've never seen them at a convention or anything . Suddenly seen two and two CXs in the same two days , I'm like hmm .

It's like Shattered Memories With Silent Hill . That's what I want to get . But I will get Shattered Memories , memories . Well , I'll get it on the wii , because on the ps2 it is very , very expensive and I've got no problem playing the way .

And I've said I think it's the better version because you you could use your your controller as a torch , couldn't you ?

well , you just brought me into a great comment . This wasn't on the list . You've made me think of a great comparison . Manhunt 2 is a very expensive game in a playstation 2 . I've got it on the week . It's a . Now , if you want to play Manhunt 2 , play it on the Wii , because it's on a PSP as well .

imagine your missus walked in what game you're playing .

Hang on , yeah yeah , with , uh , the old strip club music in the background . Yeah , um right , my top two , which I'm quite excited about . Um , but these are online games . They might be frowned upon . Uh , one , and let me know in a discord , and if you are listening to this and you could , you've experienced it .

Friday the 13th , not the nes game I'm not the nes game I'm talking about the online game .

There was a time where I'm talking old school parties , land parties so my friends would come around and we'd bring . We , I brought spare monitors kept to be on a sofa purely for friday the 13th . So I got a friend , dave and gills had come around and we'd play them together and we're taking turns whose house went to . We'd all get a lobby .

I played quite a bit of this as well .

I played quite a bit , but it got so buggy because it got unsupported with the lights . There was a point and I should have filmed it , mate there was a point where this is a true story .

Yeah , we had a good laugh . We played quite a few online and my mate he's hardcore into his horror films , loves them , nothing scares him . I was Jason and we were on . Obviously we were mic'd up talking to each other and anyway I knew exactly where he was . Yeah , and I waited outside and I hadn't spoke on my headset at all and then I just went .

You can hide under the fence , can't you ? And ?

then I'd say I'm not going to come in the room he's like no , don no and that was so much fun .

Oh , it's such a good game , even the yeah . Oh , it's epic . But that's the first game I played . Terrible , to admit this . You'd think it would be a triple-A title for Nintendo , but the first game I played over 100 hours on the Switch was Friday , the 13th First game . I went into the triple figures .

It's just that . Yes , it was buggy , it was a bit glitchy , but it had that great horror vibe . Yeah , If you know , we all know Friday the 13th and they did nail it with the sound effects . They nailed it with that 80s style of horror movie . Yeah , it was amazing and above all , it was easy to play and good fun , you know .

We'd still be playing it now if it wasn't for this next one my number one top spot and we went back between both the games when it came out and we was like , oh , it's not as good as friday the 13th , but then friday the 13th would be so glitchy we couldn't get in the lobby .

Punisher .

Yeah , I've seen a lot of the license . Oh , they've had , you know , ghost face , um . They've even had nightmare on emerald street , freddy , everyone you can think of . It's amazing , basically . So it's four um .

It's got the entertainment value to it , you know yeah , it's easy to watch , it's easy to play , you know but it's one of those ones you've got .

You're playing it regularly to be good at it , um , and then otherwise you know everyone around you gets better and you lose sort of the touch of it . But yeah , I've played hundreds of hours of that . I would honestly say Dead by Daylight is my number one spot . With Friday , the 13th Online game is my number two Nice , great choices as well .

That's nice , egg . You mixed it up Bit of indie , bit of AAA , you know , bit of online , bit of multiplayer , bit of everything there . Right , we'll move on to our next category , which is completely mixed up again . Now it is sports . So what about you then , scott ? What's your well , give us ? A few of your faves that lead us up to your number one .

All right , I'll save my . I've got my top three . To be honest , I don't know how to split them . My top three . I love all of them . But I mean I've got to say people are going to get annoyed with this . But

High .

Street Thought I was going to be cool at school . I remember playing that game every day and I remember I created my own bug on from a certain angle on the pitch and it went in . Every time I'd win 90-0 . And I just , I loved that game .

And the other FIFA game . That was that isometric view . It was the first time it had been done properly and I remember my mate had it and I saw it and I just went , wow , this is . Can football games get any better ?

This is how they all had something I think it was FIFA 94 had you could run away from the ref they all had like a bug . Fifa 95 , I think you could score from anywhere . 96 or 97 , you could block the goalkeeper's goal kick and he'd go in as well .

Which was the first one for the indoor mode , because indoor mode is .

That , I think , was FIFA 98 . I was going to bring that up in a second .

I'm sure it was just paying off somewhere .

I'm sure it was FIFA 95 .

I remember a big head mode . I definitely remember a big head mode , but I can't remember a cheat menu .

I remember there was a crazy , crazy wall Cheat I need . I need to find this out . Let us know at Discord . I don't want to . We've got a lot to go through . But yeah , that was remember that . And in FIFA that and in fifa 98 . I remember talking about george actually recently when we was in liverpool , um , over at format .

Do you know who I remember from that ?

Yeah , Back to the front .

Yeah , john Motsen saying he couldn't hit a case backside with a banjo . I always remember that .

But it was Road to World Cup , FIFA 98 . You had the Blur song too at the start .

It was so iconic .

You know , obviously you had the on the early 90s one you had the EA Sports in the game . Once we had the Blur song too . It was a new era of there being fantastic music . They kept up to this day every year . Fifa I know it's gone now , but they had the best music they did in the menus . They always did .

They're very current the new one now has actually got a very good soundtrack .

The AFC 25 is a very good soundtrack another thing I remember doing on FIFA 95 as as well , was the transfers were a bit obviously . There wasn't licensing . I don't think until 97 or 98 there weren't the right player names on a FIFA 95 . Fifa 94 in the National Soccer , I think , was the first one .

Yeah , what's the game ?

Empire Wrestling is it ? Wrestling Empire yeah that's awesome , but for me , out of all of them , I've got to say Smackdown 2 , because Smackdown everyone at my school was playing it . We all loved it , but the second one came out . I think the only differences was there was a lot more story text and you could go backstage and it was just a proper .

Introduce the manual so you could really you could get your combos going then yeah , so that was revolutionary .

But then also there was a time in my life , you know , when we all had the o'neill billabong , the flame t-shirts and the beanie hats , I was really into skateboarding . A lot of people in my village that I was living at the time was into skateboarding and a game came out called Skate .

Yeah , doing your tricks with your right analog stick . The way you move that ollie up and down . Yeah , clever game . That Really good . The way you moved that Oli , yeah clever game there .

Really good , they were awesome . The driving games count . Can we talk about Sega Rally Daytona for sports or not really .

I was going to add them at a later date as racing games , so we can add them as another genre later .

We'll leave that another time . Well , I'll leave Road Rash out . Then Destruction Derby , that's a sport . G1 Jockey I'll still ask you in your number one spot ?

um , I think it's a few in the discord would like it to be my number one spot um , just cut the genres .

I do want to talk about the snowboarding . I've got a lot of nostalgia for cool borders with my sister , even though I've played all four of them . The first one , the music was so good but me and my sister kareen would sit there playing it . But I swear there was only one mode time trial .

How about that ? I loved them back in the day , but I didn't even .

I didn't even follow hockey , yeah it just . It brought hockey to us over here , didn't it ? Yeah , brilliant , um . So just to wrap up , um with golf games . I loved um I think it's the first one other than donkey kong . Mario was in and that was golf .

Come on , then let's give it at top . Are these all joint top or ?

okay , I'm going to split them . Third , it's an arcade game track and field I love , right .

So I'll say that's a good show , international .

I'll explain in a minute . So third is track and field . Um , and I've actually got an arcade , original , dedicated cab . Um , I've got a fake on a . There's a few cabs in here , one of them's like a jammer cab , an original arcade . I've put the little marquee of track and field on there , but I've got my .

That's what it's about , though , isn't it ? You get so many times you tell someone about a game you loved back in the day and they go oh , that was rubbish , but it might have been rubbish to you . That's where you were and what you were doing when you were playing it . That's what came .

Exactly Spot on when you were in that moment of time . Yeah , brilliant .

Yeah .

Sorry , that's my Sorry . I know there's a lot there , so I'll let you get stuck .

No , you've covered quite a lot of me Early FIFAs . I remember my ex-girlfriend at the time . She bought me a PlayStation and then later on down the line I bought FIFA 98 , and I sat down there with a few cheap French lagers . I was in my late teens , early 20s , and played all the way through a World Cup , won the World Cup of England .

I'll play that now .

My mate had at the school and my mate said , oh , I've got ea hockey . Oh hockey , that's boring . He went no , I just had a fight and later blow game and I'm like what right ?

oh tell you , what have you played ? There's an indie game to make me think of it . I haven't played it , but everyone was talking about at one point . It was called , I think , called super blood hockey . It's on the switch and literally it was a throw . So , yeah , we'll have to check that out . Um , anyone in this school you played it let us know .

I've got it on a PS2 , red card .

Yeah , I'm sure there was a football game in the arcade where you could punch and kick and there was no red cards , basically . But yeah , it's a bit like that , so it encourages fighting and stuff , and yeah , that might be one for us to check out . Oh , that sounds really good yeah , they were awesome .

Sorry , go on , buddy . The Pro Evolution Soccer was really big into that back in the day that divided people , didn't it ? Oh yeah , you was FIFA or you was Pro . Even I was always early FIFA . And then me and my mate shared a haste and our neighbour come round one day and said thanks for going to football .

Anyway . So then I think FIFA 17 , I think with Ronaldo on it , on the 360 city money , for the same reason , because it was the last game .

So I , because I was going to be a year without a football game . I jumped over to FIFA and I hadn't really sort of looked back and obviously Pro Evo's gone where it's . But yeah , great memories of that . Um , you mentioned another great one nba street . Oh yeah , me and my mate playing that .

I say what I did forget was NBA Jam . Do you remember that in the arcade as well ? That is my next one . That's my next one . Oh sorry , NBA Jam , yeah . Yeah , boom , shakalaka , yeah , boom , that's what made me think you said that noise and I was thinking boom , shakalaka .

Did you know that there ?

was a developer's code cheat in there . Did you know this ? Oh , I've heard about this .

I saw this on YouTube .

So the developers of the game ? So who was rivals with Chicago Bulls ? I think it was Boston , yeah , other side of the Michigan Lake , so , yeah , so Boston Celtics . So if you was tied in the game against Bulls , against Celtics , and you had a point , you know like an and one or a free throw or whatnot , it would never go in . It was impossible .

That's a great . Got that power . Yeah , I'm putting that in um . So yeah , nba jam . Mega drive great memories of that still jump back onto that nowadays . I've got loads of versions of it's all satin and bits and pieces , but it's always that mega drive one I jumped to .

I get that . I remember the box art I forgot . I remember on the snes , um what I might . I think I'm thinking of a top down one um italia 90 , that was , uh , so good . That just come as a compilation like that was early sort of my system and mega drive , I think yeah so I love that , um , everybody's Golf .

Now , I had that on . Yeah , I've had that on most systems PS I think it was the PS Vita one and the PS what was ? Ps3 , I believe , or PS4 . I've got so many hours in it , Max to game out . My character is max . I'd beat everyone driving 400 yards . Brilliant , Absolutely loved it it sorry .

Have you got any more ? Have you got any more football games on your list ?

um , oh , I've got really curious . My number one keep quiet one's popped it . Uh , one's popped to my head I know you're gonna say that's probably what my number one is , I reckon no , I doubt it .

We'll see remind me later . Yeah .

Cool Borders um , yes , had that on . Uh , it was a packing game I got with my PS1 . I got Cool Borders and I got Gran Turismo um , and I just played both of them to death . Cool Borders I go back now . I'm terrible at it . At the time I was nailing thousands of points that come with a console for you .

That's pretty cool , isn't it ?

Yeah , I got Gran Turismo and Cool Borders . Now I can't remember if that was packed in the box as artwork on the box or whether it was a special offer where I got the two games with the system . I can't remember . I know I got it packed in Prince Nazeem Boxing , boxing playstation one . Do you know what I've got that ?

I don't know . I don't remember it being that great . I played it not too long ago , a few years ago , but I don't remember it being first game of rage quit out followed me controller out the window .

I was just , you know , I was just like I kept going gun home and not defensive , and this guy kept laying me out and I could not beat him . Yeah , that controller got volleyed out the window . Problem was it still plugged into the console . So so the console followed yeah , but yeah , I love that .

I've got a funny Rage Quit story for you as well at the end .

The early PGA games . I played them a lot Mega Drive .

As you brought it up , because it's about PGA . You can ask my missus about this right . So at my dad's house when I was living there , you know , like you know , your partner would stay over , you'd stay over there .

I've never known anyone to raise so much a bit of hole in the curtain .

That is amazing do you know what ? Until you mentioned the game , sorry about that Well ?

no , because Tiger Woods is on there as well . 07 , 08, . They're arcade golf , but God , are they good fun to play ? Yeah , you probably heard on the show . But me and my brother-in-law , when we meet up occasionally , I just keep buying these random golf games .

Yeah , you play some real . I've never heard of half of them . The last one you played I was like wow , wow , what's that ? I'll ? Um , I'll look out for some this weekend , see if I see any , and I'll message you , because I know you . You give them all a good crack , don't you ?

yeah , yeah , I've got . I mean , I've even got one here . Look , it's not very good for an audio show , but that's one we've got to play soon , look , nick faldo's golf oh yeah , I'll see you 32 . Yeah , yeah , that's gonna be another one , but yeah , so yeah , tiger woods demo 70809 , even up to 12 when they started adding in the move features as well .

G1 Jockey .

Other than G1 Jockey .

G1 Jockey 2008 .

I think everyone's going to know what I'm going to say . I've loved this game all my life . Back in the day when I first built the game shed , I used to run game tournaments here and this was one of the very first tournaments I ran , and I still love this game to this day , and that is Sensible Soccer .

Oh , yes , I see there's been a sort of homage remaster . No , sorry , an indie game on a Switch has come out like it . It's called similar name . I know it doesn't play like it . What is that ? It's come out recently .

There is one . I don't know if it's out yet or is now just out , but it's actually by I think it's by John O'Hare , who made the original .

It's called the same . I'm sorry , it's got a similar name , I think it's Sociable Soccer , isn't it ? That's it . You're right , spot on .

Sociable Soccer . That's the original bloke who made it , obviously , but he doesn't earn a license to it , so he's had to change it . I thought that was out . I love this game . The playability was amazing . I was a big fan of Cannon Fodder as well the sensible software guys . I loved Cannon Fodder .

Oh , I loved it on my Amiga .

But Sensible Soccer was one of the first really , really , really playable games . And then they'd done Sensible World of Soccer , and then you had Transverse . Are you good at it , rgt ? I don't know if I'm good at it , I love playing a lot .

It's a shame because I know you can't play Expo in Blackpool , which I'm going to after this show , if I can get a flight out of El Paso once this concussion is off . But they did last year . They did a sensible soccer tournament on the stage . It was on a massive projector in front of hundreds of people room full of gamers Bar was open .

You know that's one of the go-to . I mean I've got it on , I've got it on various I've got a mega drive , I've got it on the atari jaguar , um , but it's the amiga version I didn't know it was on the Jaguar . Yes , I'll get it on .

Oh , brilliant , Because I've got the Jaguar but I didn't know it was on there .

Yeah , I got lucky . I think I paid £35 a couple of years ago for it . I got absolutely mint box copy , absolutely mint .

Oh mate , I'll just get a loose car . I'd love to give that a whirl , yeah market so I never get to play it .

But if you're on the amiga competition pro little joysticks , you can get that curl on the ball . Brilliant fun , yeah , um . But if you've got a modern console I spoke about this the other week what I've been playing super arcade soccer it's on the switch , it's on the ps5 . It's about seven pound to download .

I feel like that's the most popular um you know for any retro game of 100 . It's definitely that standard test of time . It's one of those ones you know different generations that absolutely love that game . That's a really really good , solid choice .

Brilliant brilliant choice . Yeah , really , really clever design , really how they've done it the little sprite characters . But rather than construct the graphics , they concentrated on gameplay , which made the game so good . Yeah , the goals you can score , that's a great shout . Are we gonna do one more ?

I was to say , yeah , there's we could do one more and then we could save the other . It's about another four or five categories which we could do for a part two . Exactly , exactly , yeah , great so right .

So moving on to our last category of this , one of game genres , and our favorites in them , genres , is fps first person shooters . So whose turn does it go to first ?

Oh , I've only done that once and you got dizzy .

Yeah , I'm not doing that , they were special cartwheels . No , the reason is , when you play a first-person shooter , you're obviously looking from the person's eyes , but you're moving the screen . When you're in CR and I'm in first person , I'm moving my own head . So I'm not feeling sick , but that's because the screen was moving .

And it used to really mess me up and to the stage because you've got what's a tv tube ? Sorry to interrupt . Was a tv too big ? Is it because your peripheral vision maybe was been used like if you've got a small monitor , you just straight through tunnel vision did you have a very large tv um , not so much back in the day , but then I was quite young .

So probably was probably was quite big to me when I was younger . Maybe you weren't sitting close enough , yeah , probably . But yeah , it was just I don't know and I just didn't plan for a lot of years . But then recently , or say recently , last few years , I thought , well , I've missed out on so many big franchises , let's try it .

Well , I know it's going to come up here then , because , yeah , I've heard you mention some great franchises that you've been playing through , so yeah , I'll let you go away with these ones .

Yeah , mine's quite limited because I haven't first person was . I haven't played too many . I am going to start my next one in the next couple of weeks , which is going to be Half-Life . I can't wait to play Half-Life . Yes , yes , I haven't played that , but I have been playing through . I'm now up to Halo I need to get it finished , but nearly finished .

I'd call that first person shooter . Yeah , anything , there's a few . I speak , there's a few games . I was thinking crossover categories and I was like , do you know what ? No , because that is , you know . If it's more than one category , that's fine . So , yeah , I'd say it is Well , I really loved .

Halo 1 , 2 , and 3 . I'd probably do it in the order of I think I'd probably like 3 , the best , 1 , and then 2 . And I haven't finished 4 , so I'll leave my opinion on that . Bioshock , I think . Oh , it's close between one and two .

I think two is probably my favourite out of that with one a close behind , and then three didn't quite do it as much . That's what you played recently , wasn't it ? Yeah , number three , yeah .

But I think , probably my favourite . I know it's not many games because I haven't played many of them . There was games , you know it's probably in the horror category , but like a few of the walking sims , like vanishing of ethan carter , um , I'm trying to think what the other one was .

I heard Digital Monkery say about everyone's going to the Raptor . I think he said that was the reason why he got a PS4 . Is that right ? Is that the game he said ?

Yes , yes , it is .

I've not played that because that's another one which I'm gonna want .

It's very unique , it's it's not a first person shoot by any means . It's just I mentioned it because it was first person and that was more one I got into , but it is . It's quite unique because it is a walking sim .

I apologise if I mention some which you've already said , only because the concussion of me falling over seems to have affected the internet as well and I wobbled out for a few seconds . My first one is going to be Doom OG Doom . I was just looking in the corner . I'm hoping I'm sure I've got it on dual case on the PS1 .

He's a main man .

So , yeah , I got to meet him last year . I'm hoping he's going to be there this weekend so I'm hoping to take the game and get him to sign it . Um , but my , uh , yeah , my early memories of that game was I can't remember it was when I was at primary school and I was at a .

I'll tell you one I'd like to play and that's alien vs Predator on the Jaguar . That's supposed to be good , really fancy that , but it's always been a bit pricey .

I'm sure I picked that up recently .

I think I picked up at Wolverhampton at Revival probably arguably , the best game on the Jaguar no , sorry , I'm wrong .

I picked up Doom and Wolfenstein and then everyone said the third game to get for the system , um , was oh , yes , I could take it for the jack . You , I'll get him signed that as well , because maybe you think , um , the third one was a diverse predator . But you're right , it's expensive , so I haven't got that . Sorry , yeah , I haven't got that one . Um .

Battlefront . No , I'm sure it was first person .

It was first person because , you could be .

It took them turns . You didn't know if you was going to be Darth Vader and it was really cool and you'd be the Emperor and like you could literally do everything . I'd play for hours and you'd only get to be in once and then you'd do rubbish . You'd be like , no , I need to play again . So that was a lot of her .

Yeah , it's a bit of planning , isn't it ?

Yeah , but then some of them got really far-fetched and it would robbery over days , um , like different events , not real lifetime days , but and then you don't and then you can get . It was very realistic .

Brilliant , nah , listen , obviously , yeah , got a lot more experience in first person games than me , but hopefully I'll build build up my backlog of those and get through a few and see how I do . Really , but that's good , I enjoyed that .

Yeah , no thank you for the recommendations and guys , let us know in the Discord . I thought you didn't have a chance to say to anyone . You know , let us know your recommendations . Good idea , yeah , and we could have them to the list . So I'll tell you what we'll do .

members of discord so , yeah , so we've got open world horror sports or first person shooters . Stick your recommendations down . We'll get them noted down . We'll give you a shout out when we do the next episode of this and um . It might even be ones that me and scott haven't played . We can then jump on them . We'll let you know how we get on with them .

Shall we leak the next genres in the part two , or shall we leave that as a surprise ? We'll leave that as a surprise . We'll leave it as a surprise . We'll leave it as a surprise .

I think we'd probably better move on to what you're hoping to play in the next coming weeks , Scott .

I'm going to finish Lake . I've got to make a decision on that . I can't just leave it . The thing is with me , right ? I'm not . You know , people need closure and they need to finish something . I've got quite good willpower with certain things . So , for example , I've watched every episode of Lost ever made right .

I could do that . No , don't do that and not make the decision . Don't do it , don't do it .

So we're going to play some more PlayStation Plus games . There's some classic games I want to play on there . You know some games I want to play just while they're on there , in case they're a limited time . I want to play more of Conscript . I want to play more of those , um , and then just some of the recommendations that you've thrown at me .

Well for me , I think I'm definitely gonna be straight back on astrobot um , some more arkham asylum , definitely more the afc 25 um and just more . I've got some more games coming from the othercade um , which I've all got about 10 games on . So I'll be dipping in and out of arcade classics and hidden gem arcade games I .

It's on every system , it's even on the . Switch for like £2 . I think they call it Arcade Archives or something like that , or Arcade Classics , and they're on the eShop for like £1.99 each .

That sounds very interesting because it sounds something that's so much fun and you can just keep keep grinding it to get better and better and get further in . But yeah , I'm definitely up for that . Um , I think we better move on to our subscribers now . If you've ever heard , or ever heard us talk about subscribers . Basically , we have a little tier system .

And Badabinkster . Hopefully , by the time you listen to this , there will be a mug coming to you .
