Like so many of you, I grew up playing Pokemon. I was 12 when I started playing Pokemon Blue, and while I've been in and out of the series since, Gen I has long been a favourite of mine. So when Nintendo dropped the remakes of those games on the Switch, I knew it was time to show them a little RTG love.
FireRed and LeafGreen are absolutely the definitive way to play Pokemon Gen I. Better graphics, more Pokemon, quality of life improvements, deeper mechanics, they're phenomenal games. Are they good enough to break my nostalgic ties to the OGs? Have a listen and find out.

No RTG this week, but I dug up my Mario Kart World review from last summer and slapped it up on the free feeds to give you something to listen to instead of your coworkers or family. Be back next week! Oh yeah and we have a Patreon with a ton of episodes and blah blah blah Patreon.com/RememberTheGame

There's not a more prestigious title in the world of RTG than winner of the Pre-March Madness Patreon Poll Tournament Extravaganza, and this week we're talking about our latest champion: Secret of Evermore.
Evermore is an action RPG on the SNES, developed by Squaresoft and quite obviously using the Secret of Mana engine. You play as a boy and his dog, travelling through weird worlds and trying to find your way back home. The concept of the game is fantastic, and it does a lot of stuff well, but I don't know if it really does anything great. And SNES RPGs have a lot of great in them.
Captain N of the Retrotopia podcast joins me this week to break down the world of Evermore, and we spent over an hour diving into the seedy (secret) underbelly of the world of Evermore.
And before we get save our dog, I put together another edition of the Infamous Intro!
This week someone asks if gaming has become a luxury hobby that just isn't accessible to everyone. If I could go back to RTG #1, what advice would I give myself? And is there a series I slept on for way too long??
Plus we play another round of 'Play One, Remake One, Erase One', too! This one features 3 SNES RPGs: The 7th Saga, The Illusion of Gaia, and Lufia II.

It's WrestleMania week, and while the hype for this year's Showcase of the Immortals is a little low, I'm still using it as an excuse to talk wrasslin' games because I love them. And this week we're going back to the year 2000 and looking at WWF SmackDown! 2: Know Your Role for the PSOne.
Like so many of you, I played this one back int he day and loved it. The season mode, Hell In A Cell, backstage fights, it was insane. How has it aged 26 years later? Ehhh....
The Mankind to my Rock, my buddy Andre, is my guest this week. We went over the highs and lows of the SmackDown sequel and talked about how it's aged while sharing memories of grinding through that season mode back in the day.
And before we lay the smack down, I put together another edition of the Infamous Intro!
This week someone asks if I've ever considered making a RTG video game?? Are old wrestling games worth picking up these days?? And what accessories are must grabs for new Switch 2 owners??
Plus we play another round of 'Play One, Remake One, Erase One', too! This one features 3 PSOne era wrestlers: WCW Mayhem, ECW Hardcore Revolution, and WWF Attitude.

My efforts to mend the fences between Nintendo and Sega kids continue this week as we review Ristar; a charming little platformer exclusive to Sega's black box.
It's a platformer without much of an emphasis on jumping. You control this little black ball with a star face and use its Mr. Fantastic-esque arms to grab enemies, ledges, walls, and try not to die. It's not the most memorable game I've ever played, but it actually doe sa lot of things I normally hate very very well. A hidden gem in my books.
Ye olde Bradley McCue is my guest this week and we talk about our likes and dislikes of fighting balls with stars. I'm not sure what else there is to say. Fun game.
And before we shoot for the star, I put together another edition of the Infamous Intro!
This week someone shouts out the Nintendo 64 for changing the gaming landscape. What modern games are 'NES tough'? And where do I stand on the 2003 TMNT animated series??
Plus we play another round of 'Play One, Remake One, Erase One'!! This one features 3 Genesis games featuring weird mascots: Vectorman, Rocket Knight Adventures, and Dynamite Headdy.
