The ATFP Crew has decided on the next 3 games they’ll take on for episodes 22, 23, and 24! Halloween weekend, they’ll tackle Capcom’s classically hard Super Ghouls ‘n’ Ghosts! Two weeks after that, the difficulty pendulum swings over to Kirby’s Adventure, then Thanksgiving weekend brings the first comparative show when they play Mega Man 1 & 2!

The early ’90s were like the wild west for video game designers. Take a shot on whatever you think might work, and hope you survive the fray. The 16-bit era played host to a wide array of sleeper hits that would eventually become indie icons. A pair of present-grabbing alien rappers fit this bill perfectly, creating critical buzz in spite of a lack of monetary success, and garnering a notstalgic fanbase worthy of much larger franchises.
A key absence this weekend caused the ATFP crew to call an audible away from Haunting starring Polterguy, landing squarely on the Genesis sleeper Toejam & Earl! Got questions for the crew? Post them to the Ask The Hosts forum, or e-mail the hosts at afterthefact@geekerific.com!

A slight technical snafu – namely Luke leaving the AC adapter for his laptop in Seattle – will mean a small delay in posting Episode 19 to the site. Both Episode 19 and our interview with the PRGE show organizers will be posted the moment we can hook up power to the laptop. Sorry for the delay!
The ATFP crew will be wandering the halls of Portland Retro Gaming Expo! The con takes place September 18th and 19th at the Crowne Plaza Hotel in Portland, Oregon. Entering its 5th year, PRGE is one of the most popular showcases for classic console and arcade gaming in the Pacific Northwest!
