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.

Ho ho ho! Merry Christmas 1992, everyone!

Plus, we're joined by Mark Stoneham to talk about his Game Genie Guru moniker, how he got involved with GamesMaster, and his rather unique job working for Hornby.

Captain N: The Games Master S01E01
UCP: The GamesMaster Retrospective
11/16/23 • 97 min
Back in the summer of 2022, Ash invited Cliff to record an episode of UCP Extra in the midst of an insane heatwave. The sweaty, sweary and chaotic mess is now available for the first time in public:
Whilst Luke is away, Ash will play... Nintendo! Except not Nintendo, because that would be product placement and that's a big no-no now.
So whilst covering this piece of entertainment that is absolutely not trying to sell ANYTHING... who will be his Player 2? Who or what will the ULTIMATE warp zone gift him for company? Will they be over? Tune in and find out as he tackles the Wish.com gaming variants that populate the world of Captain N: The Games Master!
