If you were ever going to compete with a major, best selling RPG I suppose you would make a beat 'em up? Well thanks to Dragon Quest, the world got Golden Axe! And without Golden Axe, we wouldn't have beat 'em up connoisseur Ryan from List Off to join me today to talk about what it's like to play this early Sega classic. Does it still hold up today? Why isn't there even a golden axe in the game? Find out today!

Who's land is it anyway? Making his debut in the last game, this time the spotlight is on Wario on his inaugural misadventure. And to help break the game down is Rick Firestone of Pixel Project Radio! It's another long discussion about who Wario actually is, why he exists, and just how much this game differs compared to what we know from other Mario games.

In this Ghoulcade finale, I am joined by Matt Storm and Chris Dominguez to dissect Nintendo's 1994 masterpiece, Super Metroid. From development hurdles and poor sales to speedrunning innovations and the infamous Meridia, my crew debates whether Super Metroid truly deserves its legendary status. Along the way, we share personal histories, hot takes, and community recollections that cover everything from Chozo jump scares to why Samus might secretly be gaming's most terrifying protagonist...
