Last Time on Video Games returns, with the NES classic, Dragon Quest III! What did the trio’s parties consist of? How many Dragon Ball jokes did they make? And did any of them bother to continue their quest after they got to the part where you can play Fortune Street?
Episode 286: Final Fantasy X
Episode 279: Final Fantasy VII
Episode 252: Kingdom Hearts
Episode 139: Phantom Train of the Opera [Final Fantasy 6]
Rivaling our list of SNES classics enters another great contender. Complete with drama, 2D fighting inputs, and a huge cast, this game is sure to rock the (air) boat. Just don't forget to let Cid fix ya up.

(09:30) Finish your tweet. Many meme.
(11:00) Fire Emblem: Fates didn't quite deliver the complex story telling Zach expected.
(21:00) Game whales! Opera! Train suplexing! Octopi?
(25:00) Not without its flaws: the shambling opening, party configuration, awkward mechanics moments.
(47:00) History lesson about swords.
(1:05:00) How high will it go?
Next time on Last Time, Bayou Billy! A significant downgrade.

Episode 118: Dumb Quest For Babies [Final Fantasy Mystic Quest]
The most mystic thing about this game might be how you manage to carry 40 sets of armor and weapons on you without collapsing. Link does that all the time, though, so I guess it's fine. Join us to do the most absolutely generic questing because crystals n' stuff. Also, some archfiends or something? *yawn* I'm gonna go throw bombs at the skeleton.

Episode 101: Reverse Stockholm Syndrome [Chrono Trigger]
You know what screams classic SNES era RPGs? Dragon Ball Z! Oh, also one of the best RPGs ever, too. I feel like Chrono should speak up for himself more often, though. Why does he have a katana? Seriously? Oh, well, it's pretty sweet anyway.

Episode 72: Beating Up Wizards For Lunch Money [Final Fantasy II]
Hark, and listen, for I shall tall ye a fantastic tale. You see, long ago, in the land of Baron, the king was a dick. Also, there was this guy who commanded their sweet airship force who was less of a dick, then redeemed himself. There were some other people, too, who could throw fireballs and stuff, but it's mostly about airship dude. He had great hair!

(31:00) Interesting mechanics: ranged weapon ammunition, hand preference, row assignments.
(33:00) As a side note, the DS intro makes this game look much better.
(36:00) The Antlion. This thing. Signposting problems.
(39:00) Lack of descriptions on items and rotation characters make progress somewhat lackluster. Not to mention there's some overlap between characters.

Episode 44: The Secret is Killing Things [Secret of Mana]
Considered to be one of the greatest SNES games ever, this week we're tackling the story of a hero who must save the world... for Reasons! Grab a ton of different, but mechanically similar, weapons and bash some baddies to victory!
The real secret is the download!
(05:00) Synchro Summoning makes no sense. Geremy talks Hearthstone for a bit.
(09:00) Stupid electric gloves. Also, creepy girl!
(15:00) The wonders of Zach's new computer. It makes Ghosts want to die!
(18:30) Despite lukewarm critical response, MechWarrior Online sounds pretty good.
(21:30) Somehow, people took Tyler's standard screenname in the login engine for Sins of a Solar Empire: Rebellion, which is a pretty fun game.
(22:30) Secret of Mana trivia! Related to Enix, if you want to start a journey into madness, start here.
(27:30) You pulled the sword, so now you're the guy.
(33:30) Santa manages to beat Darkseid every year.
(38:30) Is the menu noise of the Wii annoying? Let us know! Also, we talk about the novelty of key mapping.
(44:00) Magic! The ring menu is interesting, but not a great idea.
(51:00) Final thoughts: probably skip this one.
Next time on Last Time, Operation Wolf!
Grenade chickens! With no obvious segue, you can contact us at

Episode 31: Menu Battle 64 [Ogre Battle 64]
Team, assemble! You hit him with that thing you always do, and I'll flip a coin to determine which spell to cast! Afterwards, we can walk through town and, if they think exactly like us, we'll free them!
This week, it's Ogre Battle 64, the game of tactics and valor on the battlefield. Join us as we find out just how many soldiers it takes to get to the center of a fighter!
Is your alignment right to Liberate or Capture our download?
(00:55) Games and us. Specifically, ones with which we've interacted lately. DoA is a game about... fighting. Seriously, though, it's got a pretty decent story and gameplay. The 3D fighter with combat damage we mentioned was apparently Tao Feng: Fist of the Lotus. If you're in the market for used... anything, 2nd and Charles is pretty awesome. Black & Read in Arvada is a superb books and music store.
(05:30) Anima looks so amazing, it's almost sad that we'll likely never play it.. No, Jean, don't do it!
(08:00) Pokemon Pinball! Tyler's current high scores... there may be a preference there. Nintendo had humble, and quite different, roots. high scores, All the wizard modes. It allows you to play a mean game. Alex's parents own a Xenon table. Read the Notes section. My hobby: replacing hyphens.
(13:00) The mysterious overlap between RPGs and tactical games.
(14:30) OGRES!
(16:45) Tome of Innaccuracy.
(22:00) This game has loooong battles.
(24:00) Pedras hurt them if they hurt you.
(28:30) This game is deep, man.
(31:45) Decision making.
(34:00) The reward pacing of this game is a little odd.
(37:00) This game is somewhat about minmaxing. Also, it has a story? History lesson!
(43:00) A brief commentary on whether a game that is narrative-centric should just be a movie.
(44:30) Some discussion about the necessity for rational humans to justify realistic violence within the game's story. It's a meaty topic that we don't nearly cover. Also, for some reason it seems easier to do this in a tabletop RPG than in a videogame.
(47:40) Spec Ops: The Line deals with the aforementioned subject through our favorite medium!
(50:40) Apparently not feeling weighty enough this episode, we dip into a discussion about videogames as an art form. I would ammend our discussion here that videogames may already be art, but be truly transcendent were they to meet the criteria we outline here.
(51:30) Final thoughts about Ogre Battle 64: It's pretty good!
Next week, Super Metroid! Get read to explore and shoot things (not necessarily in that order).

Episode 19: Mario for the Money [Super Mario RPG]
Crazy antics ensue when you press the right button to really whack that guy with a hammer. This week, we tackle the RPG classic that spawned a whole mess of odd titles featuring the mustachioed plumber. It's Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars. Yes, that subtitle is super necessary.
Press A to right before downloading for extra damage!
(02:30) Potato burgers! They're magically potato. Also, the current state of lab grown meat.
(05:00) Man of Steel, a movie with Superman!
(08:50) Not corrupt leaders! Charlemagne was awesome. I may have talked up Sukarno a bit, but he wasn't terrible.
(14:30) Pandora's Tower for the Wii! Looks pretty decent. Couldn't find the review I originally read for it, though.
(15:00) JRPGs and turn-based combat. Characterization is cool! We get a bit distracted on other games here.
(23:00) Back to turn-based combat. Star Ocean is pretty cool. If you've never played FFX, it's pretty decent. For the combat system thing, check out the right side of this image I found on Shamus Young's site. Another pretty decent TBC system, Wild Arms!
(28:20) Kind of a tangent, but here's a good description of how it feels to be shot. On a lighter note, levels of abstraction in games! Dwarf Fortress!
(31:30) We actually get to the game. It's Mariorriffic. Geno and Mallow are... not super setting appropriate. Geno for Smash, btw. The timed hits make the combat more engaging than Final Fantasy and the endless battles.
(38:00) The visual style is mostly this the entire game. Neutrality!
(40:00) The weird design choices Square made with the setting.
(44:00) Better engagement through environmental interaction? Golden Sun!
(47:20) Do you make up stories for plotless games? Let us know!
(52:30) SLAP!
Next time on Last Time, it's Bases Loaded. Batter up!

Episode 11: Really, You Should Be Listening to Episode 64 [Ogre Battle: The March of the Black Queen]
We've been attacked by another guest host! This week, we talk Ogre Battle, among other things. This week is pretty heavy on other things, actually, but it's 92% by volume videogame related. Can you battle ogres with the best of them?
Direct your Downloading units here!
(00:30) Zach! We've mentioned him basically every episode and now he's here, like a specter from the ether. I'm neither confirming nor denying this, but he might be a regular from now on.
(02:50) We hit the wall flying. Or throwing.
(03:45) What we've been playing. It's actually different this week!
(05:15) Griefing. Also, XCOM.
(06:35) More Naruto madness. This stuff is crazy awesome, regardless of whether you like the show. Big on style.
(09:30) Pokemon!
(10:50) Pixelmon, the super awesome mod for Minecraft where you play with Pokemon on the map.
(12:40) Myths and legends in games and how they're dead with the Internet.
(15:30) Commensurate rewards for secrets in games and the 3D platformer collection craze.
(20:00) We finally get to the game of the week.
(23:40) A special point here: you are punished for using your best teams.
(25:40) Zach has causality issues. Also, the Tarot system.
(30:00) We talk a bit about unit promotion that may make you think that this game sounds cool.
(32:00) Plot! We were told there was one.
(36:00) TL;DNL: There's some potential here, but it's wasted. Go play Ogre Battle 64 instead.
Next week, we look at another series progenitor, The Legend of Zelda. Zach will be joining us again, so expect outbursts of some sort.

Episode 1: Welcome to ActRaiser [ActRaiser]
Hey, folks! It's the first episode, wherein we try to get this show going. Sadly, ActRaiser did not give us much to work with, so there's a bit of fluff. That said, the show notes are at the bottom of this post. Also, I've got an embedded player on this post, in addition to a download link, so choose your poison.
Remarkably useless spells and downloads!
Show Notes
(0:30) What is this podcast and what is it about?
(2:26) Who are the hosts?
(5:00) ActRaiser!
(8:32) The Enemies of ActRaiser (Besides Itself)
(10:00) We try to remember the individual levels of ActRaiser, we talk about the Bosses instead.
(11:16) We discuss the Simulation game within ActRaiser
(13:15) Why the boss fights in ActRaiser suck.
(15:10) We talk about Castlevania instead. We played it prior to ActRaiser, but didn’t record an episode, though both of us gave it very high marks.
(16:25) We play god on playing God, and try to figure out a way to improve ActRaiser.
(20:30) ActRaising Powerups.
(22:30) Your Angel Sidekick.
(25:10) Satan Vs. Dracula
(26:00) Concluding thoughts.
Next week, we play Sonic the Hedgehog for the Sega Genesis, and see if the Blue Blur fares better than God.
