Retro Recall: The PS1 Chronicles

It's rarely a good thing when you see an update episode from your favorite creator, and today we have to join that list. As we take this break from the show we'd like to thank everyone who supported us during this year and a half. We didn't expect the show to gain this much attention, and we can't wait to reboot it and make it even better than before! We'll see you all soon!

It's no secret that licensed games were a mixed bag during the PS1 generation. You might get lucky and find some hidden gems but more often than not you got a shameless cash grab. Courtesy of the wheel, this week we’re taking a look at Rocket Power: Team Rocket Rescue. Attempting to pull from the popularity of extreme sports at the time, is this one worth a second look?

In today’s gaming landscape, From Software is one of the most respected developers. From Elden Ring to Armored Core and more the company can seem to do no wrong these days. Today we’re going to go back to the beginning and take a look at their very first game, King's Field.

A game based on a movie based on a game, just that statement alone is ridiculous. Street Fighter: The Movie might be the only one of these to exist. Join us as we not only take a look at the game based on the movie, but the movie based on the game.

If you’re watching or listening to our show then you likely already know Doom, the game that popularized the FPS genre in the early 90s. Doom has been ported to about every platform imaginable, down to things as ridiculous as printers and calculators. What does the PS1 port do to separate itself from the dozens of other ports of the classic game?

When you hear a game has been ported to the PS1 from the Gameboy Advanced, it’s hard to imagine it turned out well. Today we’re looking at the only game to do so, Pinobee. A 2D platformer from the designer of Sonic the Hedgehog should be a slam dunk, but what do the game's GBA roots mean for the PS1 port?

Wrestling games have been around as long as gaming itself and the PS1 has dozens in its library. WWF Attitude is the last wrestling game made by Acclaim, do they go out with a whimper or a bang?

For our second Star Wars game on the show we're taking a look at Jedi Power Battles, a beat 'em up that was remastered not too long ago. A Star Wars game in this style should be a no brainer, is this one worth checking out? We're joined by Star Wars lore master Ryan of 156/Silence this week to help us figure it out!

Omega Boost is a rail shooter from the developers of Gran Turismo, their only non racing game. We were very excited to see what could’ve been from a studio that has been focused on one genre for over 20 years. Let’s find out if they should branch out more or just stick to racing!

FMV games are a relic of the 90s, you either love 'em or hate 'em. While the genre has made a comeback in recent years, only a few were released for the PS1. Does Brain Dead 13 break the mold, or would it be better as a movie like so many others in the genre?
