LATE SUMMER AND EARLY AUTUMN OF ARCADE IS GETTING SERIOUS! Join the HG101 gang as they discuss and rank the oddly unsatisfying "original" Contra, plus Takahisa Taura's hack-and-slash for Switch.

 This weekend's Patreon Bonus Get episode will be AMOK — Lemon’s voxel-based mech game for the Saturn! Donate at Patreon to get this bonus content and much, much more!

Follow the show on Bluesky to get the latest and straightest dope.

Check out what games we've already ranked on the Big Damn List, then nominate a game of your own via five-star review on Apple Podcasts! Take a screenshot and show it to us on our Discord server! Intro music by NORM.
