More newcomers arrive on NES this episode, each bringing a musty conversion of an even older original work in tow. Kemco-Seika makes its NES debut with a two-year-old port of First Star Software's Spy Vs. Spy, which kinda-sorta puts a bow on the two-player trend of NES software by way of a competitive espionage adventure. Just as dated is the debut duology from Japanese dev Nihon Bussan, courtesy of our pals at FCI: Creaky console ports of arcade obscurities MagMax and Seicross. Not precisely the most inspiring games 1988 had to offer NES fans... Production note: NES footage captured from @Analogue Nt Mini. Video upscaled to 720 with @Retro Tink 5X.

An alien menace has attacked the worlds of civilization and laid waste to their planets. However before the being conquered, a group of scientists has managed to create one last weapon and hidden it underground. The name of the weapon is Mag Max and only it might be able to defeat the alien invaders. Mag Max however is incomplete and for security reasons, his component parts are scattered across the land. Through their collection, Mag Max's strength increases. SHOW NOTES MagMax Longplay Arcade Archives Port LUFTRAUSERS --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/nestalgia/support

Sorry for the short hiatus! We are back this week with Portland comedian and a man who’s name begins and ends with an X, Xander Deveaux! We talk Bayou Billy, Jeopardy, montages, a game we he can’t remember the name of and I don’t know what he’s talking about based on his description which turns out to be called MagMax, silly names, Turok, and more! We review Seasame Street 123 for the NES and Sunset Riders for the SNES.
