Dracula's Arcade

Welcome to the $30 NES Challenge! Instead of focusing on a single game for the entire show, we've decided to try something a little different. The premise is simple. You have $30 to spend to round out your NES collection. What games would you buy with that cash? Do you blow it all on a loose cart of Contra? Do you go for quantity over quality? Do you just grab some of the classics? All of this, as well as our decision making process, is discussed in great detail. More importantly, we're joined by a very special guest...the Legendary Luke. He's a man with the finest of retro gaming tastes and he fits into an episode of Dracula's Arcade like Peter Cushing in a Hammer Horror flick. He's the tomato to the bacon and lettuce of our little podcast sandwich.  Check out Luke on his Instagram page @lookas83. Please join us and find out how we did with the $30 NES Challenge. We implore you to play along with us and please share the results of your very own $30 NES Challenge. You guys are the best and we love hearing your feedback! 

We're back with a brand new horror themed episode to close out our Halloween season! The subject of today's retrospective is the highly revered Super Castlevania IV on SNES. A game that is loved by retrogamers around the multiverse. It's got everything you could possible want for gaming during October. Bats, skeletons, gothic catles, foggy graveyards, zombies, and a manly man who loves short shorts. Goddamn...the Belmont family might be awesome at slaying Dracula, but their fashion sense is the real horror.  Join us as we take a look back at this beloved 16-bit classic and find out if it holds up in 2018. We also go the extra mile to figure out where this game fits in the patheon of non-Metroidvania style Castlevania games. So tune in and find out if this one lives up to its much ballyhooed acclaim. It's time for another installment of Dracula's Arcade!  If you like what we're doing please subscribe, or drop us a rating/ review. We really do apreciate it! Thanks for taking the time to listen!

Is Super Ghouls N Ghosts trolling gamers? Was its fiendish difficulty created soley to amuse the sadistic, overworked, Capcom programmers? Does anyone like this game? Whatever the reason, Super Ghouls N Ghosts is infamous for it's masocistic levels, dickish enemies, and boxer briefs. Is there a more shameful death in videogames than biting the dust while prancing around in your skivvies? Probably not. Super Ghouls N Ghosts, frankly, doesn't care. It wants you to die. Over and over again. Tune in as Josh and Mike tackle this popular relic from the 90s. It's time for another episode of DRACULA'S ARCADE! JOIN US!
