Coming Up: ATFP Ep. 27

  By

In 1994, Nintendo and Rare teamed up to reinvent the way 2D platformers were presented. Using Silicon Graphics workstations and advanced 3D rendering techniques, they crammed a ton of content onto a 32-meg SNES cart and revitalized an aging icon in the process.

Donkey Kong Country sold more than 8 Million copies worldwide, making it the best selling non-bundled game in the SNES library. Is it really that good? Join the ATFP crew as they tackle the game that brought Donkey Kong back into people’s hearts!

Got questions for the crew? Post them to our Facebook page, post them to the Forums, or e-mail them to afterthefact@geekerific.com.

And, while you’re at it, psych yourself up by watching Donkey Kong Country Exposed, a Nintendo Power promo video from just before the game’s release:

Coming Up: ATFP Ep. 25

  By

In 1987 Capcom, whose previous NES outings consisted of ports of their own arcade games, set out to build a brand new IP solely for the home console. The little blue robot and his buster cannon quietly made his way into the hearts of NES owners, and quickly became not only one of the most beloved, but most prolific, characters in video game history. Marked by notorious difficulty and surprising strategic depth, the Mega Man series are considered to be some of the best video games of all time.

Join the ATFP crew while they try to figure out how two of the greatest games ever warranted such terrible box art. The Crew wants to hear what you think! Post your comments, questions, rants and raves to the Ask The Hosts forum, or e-mail them to afterthefact@geekerific.com so the Crew can use them on the show!

Coming Up: ATFP Ep. 24

Things change, and sometimes we gotta roll with the punches. Scheduling around a holiday is tough, which is why we had to change things up for episode 24. Originally, Mega Man 1 & 2 were going to be the focus, but now the crew will be taking on the TurboGrafx’s bone-headed neanderthal of a mascot in his debut game, Bonk’s Adventure!

In an age of italian plumbers and speedy rodents, the Turbografx looked to gain traction with… a meat-raging cave-man. Got questions for the hosts? Post them to the Ask The Hosts forum, or e-mail them at afterthefact@geekerific.com!
