Crack open your old toy chest, because this week we're playing three games based on popular kids toys! We played pint-sized party game MICRO MACHINES 64 TURBO, stunt racer HOT WHEELS TURBO RACING, and TONY HAWK-wannabe RAZOR FREESTYLE SCOOTER! Plus: we're finally allowed in the same room again!

It's tail time! This week, we're playing two of the quippiest platformers on the system, GEX 64: ENTER THE GECKO and it's sequel, GEX 3: DEEP COVER GECKO! The sardonic lizard has a deep bench of pop culture references and nowhere else to send them but straight into your earholes! We talk about Gex's origins as the star of the Panasonic 3DO, explore the ethical ramifications of lizard-on-human love, and generally try to keep ourselves from getting a headache.

Duck and cover! This week, we're talking about one of the most influential games you've never heard of, WINBACK: COVERT OPERATIONS! This scrappy little METAL GEAR-a-like actually invented what we think of as modern cover-based shooters; there effectively is no GEARS OF WAR or UNCHARTED without WINBACK. The game is innovative, but is it any fun to play? Plus: we discuss the dating status of Jean-Luc Cougar, tell the tale of the mysterious villain known as Gunt, and speculate once again just what is in all those damn crates.

I hope y'all are ready to bounce, because bouncing is what Tigger's do best, and this week we're talking about TIGGER'S HONEY HUNT! Our wonderful Disney correspondent Mikayla Nicholson joins us to look into the history of the residents of the Hundred-Acre Wood. We even watch 2000's THE TIGGER MOVIE to really inundate ourselves in all things T-I-Double Guh- Er, and discover one of the best-looking games on the Nintendo 64!

What hath DOOM wrought? This week, we're playing two games that budded off from the intensely successful FPS series: the sword-and-sorcery variant HEXEN: BEYOND HERETIC, and JOHN ROMERO'S DAIKATANA, one of the most legendary flops in gaming history from the bad-boy visionary behind id Software's megahit. Is HEXEN a worthy successor? Is DAIKATANA as bad as you've heard? And just what happened during the production of that game? All of these answers and more!
