Retro Gaming Revelry

This week Earl and Jurek are joined by their friend Andrew and the three of them play Fester's Quest on the NES! This game was recommended by Andrew due to his nostalgia for the game! As you can imagine, the guys have a pretty tough go at it, considering this game is notoriously hard! While they don't get very far, the game turns out to be rather enjoyable once you figure out what to do! Come have a drink with us! Cheers! NOTE: This episode was recorded on Friday March 6, 2020. This was just before the shit hit the fan, so to speak, regarding the Coronavirus, at least in Minnesota. I'm not sure we even mention the virus in this episode. A couple other episodes were recorded in between and will be released very soon, in which we do talk about it. All this to say we hope all you Reveler's and your loved ones are staying safe and healthy out there. Apologies for the few week lapse in episodes coming out. Obviously, things got a little crazy with work and life due to the virus. But we are back, and Jurek and I have found a way to continue doing the podcast from quarantine, so we won't be going anywhere! Thanks for listening, Reveler's! ~Earl

This week Jurek and Earl continue playing Zelda II: The Adventure of Link for the NES! This time they start a little farther into the game than the very beginning and attempt to take on dungeon number 2! As you can imagine, it does not go very well. The game continues to be extraordinarily difficult! However, at least there is some good discussion about Zelda games in this episode! Come have a drink with us! Cheers! NOTE: This episode was recorded on Friday December 4, 2020. We got some new gear, Revelers! Hopefully it will make us sound a little better while we continue to record remotely. Let us know what you think by tweeting us @RetroRevelry! Thanks for listening, Revelers!

This week Earl and Jurek practice their sharpshooting skills as they play 2 light gun games on the NES! First up is everybody's favorite zapper game: Duck Hunt! This game is an absolute classic! Fun on all accounts! The only thing it lacks is some engaging music, but that's easy to look past. What's not easy to look past is that frickin' dog laughing at you all the time! Then the guys pop in Wild Gunman and have some old west style duels! This game is not quite as fun as Duck Hunt, but the guys discover Gang mode is where it's at! Come have a drink with us! Cheers!

Snakes. Why'd it have to be snakes?! This week Earl and Jurek get sneaky with some slithering snakes as they play Sneaky Snakes on the Nintendo Gameboy! The guys have quite a bit of fun trying to figure out this odd title! The game ends up being fairly challenging for them (what else is new?!), but the music makes up for it! They also learn a little something about snakes along the way! Come have a drink with us! Cheers!

This week Jurek and Earl team up with the legendary Bruce Willis as they play Apocalypse Starring Bruce Willis for the original Playstation! This is one of those rare games that neither of the guys have played before. It's an odd game, especially the Bruce Willis angle, but it turns out to be a lot of fun! Come have a drink with us! Cheers!
