Description
Bad With Games is a podcast journey through the best, most important, and most influential titles in video game history. Games journalist Jonathan lends his knowledge and experience to gaming neophyte Will as he plays through hundreds of classics for the first time. New gamers can join in to learn more about these iconic works, and gaming veterans can revisit them from a fresh perspective. Will and Jonathan will do their best to walk you through all the classics without getting too sidetracked by tangents, bickering, or just generally being bad (with games).

Mega Man 3
2026/10/14
We played Mega Man 3 which was released for NES in 1990. Our heroic blue robot returns with some new additions to his ever increasing arsenal. Does 3 feel any different from the first two entries? We discuss rapid fire bullets, anime influences, and how long a dog should be on screen.

2026/10/07
We played Ultima V: Warriors of Destiny and Ultima VI: The False Prophet, which were released for PC in 1988 and 1990 respectively. In a surprise twist, we're finishing up the second Ultima trilogy by covering two games, to see just how far this RPG series has come. We discuss frustrating game loops, learning new languages, and the power of character portraits.

Big Walk
2026/09/30
We played Big Walk which was released for PC and consoles in 2026. In a shocking turn of events, this multiplayer puzzle game is the first game from the 21st century to get a spot on the show. We discuss effective modes of communication, Australian accents, and how many cooks are too many cooks.

Frogger, BurgerTime, & Q*bert
2026/09/23
We played Frogger, BurgerTime, and Q*bert, which released in the arcade in 1981 and 1982. It's a back to school bundle as we clean up a few loose end arcade hits we've never covered before. We discuss the logic of Frogger, Q*bert's delectable toes, and why Mr. Pickle is our enemy.

Super Mario Kart
2026/09/16
We played Super Mario Kart which was released for Super Nintendo in 1992. This racing game takes things to a whole new level with the addition of items, and also karts. We discuss a lack of total chaos, the simple joys of battle mode, and that tricky little d-pad.

Master of Orion
2026/09/02
We played Master of Orion which was released for computers in 1993. This sci-fi strategy game is the origin of the term 4X, which means it's a really big deal. We discuss sliding sliders, sliding increasingly more sliders, and the scourge of the Meklar.

Puyo Puyo
2026/08/26
We played Puyo Puyo which was released for the Mega Drive in 1991. (We also played its sequel and alternate versions!) Can this colorful blob matching puzzler get out from under the shadow of Tetris?
