Description
The term "the greatest video game in the history of the industry" gets thrown around a lot these days, but when it comes to Tetris, it may actually be true.
Everyone, and I mean EVERYONE, has played Tetris. The concept is so damned simple. Make lines out of falling bricks. When you do, the line disappears. Rinse and repeat until the screen fills up or the batteries on your GameBoy die. It's so easy to learn, so difficult to master, and it's more addictive than cigarettes*.
*Haven't fact checked that.
My guest, former RTG Hall of Famer Mark McCue is a Tetris junkie just like me, and damned if we didn't find a way to make a conversation about bricks entertaining. I really like this episode, and I hope you do too.
But before we talk the famous Tetris, it's the Remember The Game Infamous Intro! This week, I talk about Ready Player One, we debate Raphael's value to the TMNT, someone asks for PS4 game recommendations, and more!
And of course, we play 'Play One, Remake One, Erase One'. This time around, it's the High Score' Edition, starring Galaga, Pac-Man, and Donkey Kong.
If you want to skip to something specific, here's where to go:
0:00 - 2:15 Intro
2:15- 10:34 Initial self-indulgent rambling
10:34 - 21:10 'Blowing In The Cartridge' (Listener comments & questions, and Letter Time!)
21:10 - 31:42 'Play One. Remake One. Erase One.'
31:42 - 32:50 What have I been playing?
32:50 - 36:20 Listener's Tetris Memories
36:20 + Tetris Talk!
Enjoy the podcast!

Remember The Game #10 - Mega Man X: The Mega Man franchise is one of my all-time favourites, and for my money the debut of X is the best of all of them. My old friend Tyler comes by this week, and we catch up by reminiscing about one of the best games on the SNES; Mega Man X. Enjoy! by Remember The Game? Retro Gaming Podcast
