S05E03 - Smart Golf / Mortal Kombat 3

UCP: The GamesMaster Retrospective

03/01/22 • 100 min

We've got our biggest golf challenge to date - literally - as snooker legend Stephen Hendry drops by to play Smart Golf, and Mark Towes shows off his skills on Mortal Kombat 3.

It's a Mortal Kombat 3 special, in a way, as we've got Rik and Dave reviewing PSX release, and we talk about how the MegaDrive and SNES versions scored in GamesMaster Magazine. There's also a bit of chat about the Mortal Kombat stage show, and Mortal Kombat: The Journey Begins. There's also some news on Tekken 2 secrets, Sony's new advertising campaign for the PlayStation, and WORMS.

S08E00 - Our Day Out To The GamesMaster Reboot

UCP: The GamesMaster Retrospective

11/10/21 • 39 min

When we started UCP, we never thought we'd see a new series of GamesMaster, and so we never thought we'd find ourselves attending the filming of said series in a brand new location, with new hosts, new challenges and an (at the time unknown) new GamesMaster.
