Tonight @ 7PM CST, we'll continue our adventure in Dragon Warrior on the NES. We've found Erdrick's Armor, bought the Silver Shield and leveled to 17. It's time to use the Rainbow Drop and cross the bridge to see what danger lays beyond.

Tonight @ 7PM CDT, we'll continue our adventure in Dragon Warrior on the NES. We've grown to level 9 and bought some new armor. Exploring has revealed a new cave in the east. Should we push for level 10 before braving the darkness below?

Tonight @ 7PM CDT, we'll continue our adventure in Dragon Warrior on the NES. I'm enjoying returning to this classic RPG. Where I once considered it's simplicity a drawback, I'm liking the straightforward gameplay.

Tonight @ 7PM CDT, we'll battle slimes and grind our way through the fantasy lands of Dragon Warrior on the NES! This was one of the first jRPGs to become hugely popular, in part because Nintendo promoted the game so heavily.

Tonight at 7PM CDT we'll defend the battlements against a horde of Orc invaders in "Orc Attack" on Atari 8-bit home computers! I never played this game as a kid, but it looks and plays great. It's a bit like reverse "Kaboom".

Tonight at 7PM CDT we'll hop into an F-14 and push it into overdrive in Afterburner II on the TurboGrafx 16! This is a PC Engine port of the 1987 Sega arcade game. I loved the arcade game as a child, especially the sit-down cab.

Tonight at 7PM CDT we'll eat power pellets and chase ghosts in Pac-Man 4k on the Atari 2600! Pac-Man was a notoriously bad port to the Atari when it was released. Pac-Man 4k is a brilliant homebrew re-imagining of what could have been.

Tonight at 7PM CDT we'll craft burgers and crush our enemies at the same time in BurgerTime on the Atari 2600! An arcade classic from 1983, this is a reasonably decent port to the humble Atari 2600's limited hardware.

Fuzzy, heavy instrumental melodies from Chicago. This one hits right from the start.
