Take a moment, close your eyes, and go back to late 1993 in your mind. Put on some Ace of Base to help set the mood. Struggling? Too young to have been there? Too old to remember? Well then do I have good news for you. Eternal Champions for the Sega Genesis has the ability to instantly transport you back to the early-to-mid '90's, where everything is crazy non-sequiturs and in your face advertising. I'd say sit back and relax but really what you need to do is STRAP YOURSELF IN AND FEEL THE G'S.

Let's say you have to drive all the way across the United States (and Greece?) and had to choose from a Ferrari or a Lotus F1 car. Which car would you choose? Me? I'd go with the Ferrari. The Formula 1 car seems like a good idea until you get dropped into its cockpit. Who am I kidding? I don't even know how to drive a stick.

Every once and a while, we make a mistake. For example, we thought friend of the show EA wanted us to review Space Harrier II. Come to find out, we were wrong. He wanted us to review the original Sega arcade classic Space Harrier. It happens and we can admit it. That being said, our mistake was microscopic compared to the mistake that was Spacer Harrier II. So come join us to discuss the RIGHT GAME that we expect to be much better than its sequel.

Do you like action-adventure games where you're a swordsman that can gain new skills and become more powerful as the game progresses? What if I told you there were eight medallions that have been hidden in eight crypts that you have to recover? And, finally, what if there were secrets in the game that could only be discovered by doing things like burning trees, pushing rocks, and blowing up walls? Well, if you like those kinds of things then you may want to tune in to hear what the LJN crew thinks of this original idea that was not influenced directly by any other game.

Do you like shooting games? Do you like fighter jets? How about saving the planet from space monkeys? Well, if any of those things interest you then do we have a game for you! Kick back and relax as the guys discuss Aero Fighters for the Super Nintendo.

Have you ever wanted to be a God that kills monsters AND develops cities? Yeah, we all have. Well do I have good news for you.. ActRaiser for the SNES allows you to do just that. I guess that isn't news.. I mean.. the game is like 35 years old. Man.. I was old enough to drive when this game came out. sigh

We all went to Milwaukee and bought stuff. If you weren't there, you should have been.

The year in 6236 and not much has changed other than there are at least 214 sectors in space. You are Harrier.. not HAIRIER.. but maybe you are. And if you ARE hairier, then I have bad news for you about the jumpsuit you may need to wear to travel through space.

Pro Wrestling for the NES is an underappreciated classic that deserves more run. A lot of people have moved to collecting games and not playing them. Luckily for Pro Wrestling, it is a black box NES game, otherwise all you'd remember is how terrible WWF Wrestlemania was.

We are running late so I don't have time to write a witty description. The last time something like this happened, it was because of some audio issues. Again, no time to discuss, and I stand by that, but these issues have created a delay. So we are sorry for starting late. It reminds of when nickels used to have pictures of bees on them. "Gimmie five bees for a quarter", they’d say.. Anyway, here's Zelda.

One hundred episodes.. they said it couldn't be done. But you know what? We proved THEM wrong. That's right. Come hang out with the LJN crew!

We did it, another year in the books for the LJN crew! The LJN gang discuss where we made our biggest mistakes in 2025. It's an open discussion regarding the LJN Game Ratings. Woo!

Shenmue is a 1999 game on the Sega Dreamcast. If I were to try to elaborate any further, I would run out of characters for this description. So tune in and listen, because it doesn't seem like we can run out of characters during a podcast / livestream.

Metal Gear Solid is a story. A story about a snake. Wait, no.. a story about a MAN. Solid Snake. That's as deep as we are willing to go, because it seems like you could spend the rest of your life dissecting the story of Metal Gear Solid if you wanted.. and we do not.

Have you ever really sat down and read the backstory of any fighting game ever? Let me tell you.. it may seem like it would be simple.. but it never is.Tekken 3 is a classic example of this. There's so much backstory going on that we would lose every listener we have if we tried to go into it during the show. So read up on it.. or don't. Just listen to the episode instead and pretend there's no story. That's what we did for almost thirty years.
