• Kirby's Adventure - That Game Rules! Ep 008
    Jul 22 2025

    First you draw a circle, then you play this awesome game! Kirby debuted on the Gameboy, but it took the NES to put this pink puffball into the spotlight. It can be both a tough platformer and an easy fun time, while cranking out some great 8 bit music. Let’s talk Kirby’s Adventure today on That Game Rules!

    Plus, we stop by 1993, or the late 1900’s as it were. We talk about my love of crappy B horror movies, another Blockbuster story from my brain, and a shout out to the terrible Link CDi games. Plus, I attempt to get TWO nostalgic tunes stuck in your noggin.

    And of course, I can't keep the thoughts straight and talk about a whole bunch of other nonsense too...

    Let's waste some more time this week on the worst gaming podcast on the internet!

  • Donkey Kong Country - That Game Rules! Ep 007
    Jul 15 2025

    Donkey Kong Country is a contender for a top 3 spot on almost every “Best of SNES” list. Featuring stunning 3D rendered graphics, atmospheric music, and captivating gameplay. Nintendo and Rare managed to turn an OG villain into an IP strong enough to lead the launch of their new system over 30 years later. Let’s talk Donkey, Diddy, Cranky and all our other favorite Kongs in a barrel blasting episode of That Game Rules!

    Plus, we stop by 1994 where I talk about an old school video game movie “Street Fighter”. Before the insanity of The Mario Bros Movie, we had this gem. I also talk a bit about the old cartoon show Reboot and how I can’t wait to do an episode on Earthbound. Ever play that big boxed beauty?

    And of course, I can't keep the thoughts straight and talk about a whole bunch of other nonsense too...

  • TMNT3: Radical Rescue - That Game Rules! Ep 006
    Jul 8 2025

    Forgiveness is divine, but never pay full price for late pizza! We’re talking TMNT 3: Radical Rescue for the Gameboy. Heroes in a half shell fighting in a mega man style metroidvania? Shut up and take my money! This game was near the end of the Gameboy lifecycle, and it shows in the best ways. Grab some ‘za and let’s look at this classic. Cowabunga dudes!

    Plus, we kick some shell all the way back to 1993 and talk turtlemania. I gush about the original TMNT movies, we look through an old Toys R Us toy catalog, and I reminisce about an old fever dream that is the TMNT musical stage show.

    And of course, I talk about a whole bunch of other nonsense too!

  • World of Warcraft - That Game Rules! Ep 005
    Jul 1 2025

    Follow me adventurer! Stock up on your potions, grab some mana biscuits, and buff up that raid party because we're heading to Azeroth! What a massive game to attempt to talk about in one episode. This definitely ain’t no Gameboy game here. I attempt to break down this game for some new players talking races, classes, spells, talent trees, professions, and more loot than you can fit in your netherweave pouch.

    We also head back to the early 2000s. I talk about being a young dad and gush about the tv show that got me into WoW in the first place. We need the Sword of 1000 Truths! We can't trust this podcast in the hands of a noob!

    Also, I forget to cast Intellect and talk about a whole bunch of other nonsense too!

  • Kid Chameleon - That Game Rules! Ep 004
    Jun 24 2025

    Kid Chameleon is about as SEGA as SEGA gets. We’re talking leather jackets, sunglasses, hoverboards, and everything else extreme from the 90’s. Kid Chameleon is a solid, challenging 2D platformer with a terrible soundtrack. Also, a hatchet wielding, hockey mask wearing maniac?

    1992 was a great year for cartoons and I get sidetracked talking about X men and the Batman animated series. We also talk more about the mom and dad movies we grew up watching, for better or worse.

    And of course, I forget my train of thought and talk about a whole bunch of other nonsense too!

  • Mega Man 2 - That Game Rules! Ep 003
    Jun 17 2025

    Let’s talk the Blue Bomber today in another episode of That Game Rules! Mega Man II is an amazing NES Classic. We talk Robot Masters, weapons, levels, the freakin MUSIC, and the love the developers put into this game.

    While we’re in 1988 we talk old movies and toys. Did you ever own those crappy Tiger Electronic handhelds? Do you have a list of “mom movies” you like because they were always on in the background?

    And of course, I forget my train of thought and talk about a whole bunch of other stuff too!

    Grab your baby penguins and toss 'em off a cliff, we're checking out Super Mario 64 this week!

    We head back to 1996 and talk movies, shows, games. Then we get into this N64 classic, talking levels, power ups, controls, music. In the end we give this baby some awards and determine if That Game Rules!
