Episode 22: Fire and Rescue

Among the many homebrewers I have been privileged to interview, several were also academics: professors who teach game design and development by day, and by night put into practice those same lessons into their own passion projects. Their expertise is expressed through their style...

Welcome, fiery warriors. I hope you all are ready and up for the challenge. The very last challenge of the 2021 VGS NES Weekly Contest will define the one who will bear the coveted crown of the Platformer genre!

For the platformer genre, Dr. Morbis leads with 28 points, but PII is right on his tail with 25 points. Krunch is not out of the race with 20 points.

Homebrews to play for the Halloween season Is that even a thing?
Find out in the episode as we talk about that along with several games and off topic items, including Die Hard and James Bond.

Joining me in the episode are my fellow Homebrew Team Members on Video Game Sage, talking about Halloween 85/86, Scare Carts, Spook-o'-tron, Micro Mages, Curse of Illmoore Bay, Sacred Line, and more including games still in development (Project Borscht, Crypt of Dracula, and Bio Evil).

Another round of Bingo?  But this isn't a proper bingo card!  The idea here is you get a piece of "candy", aka a ballot, to be entered into a drawing for 2 eShop gift cards for Nintendo Switch Online.  These are for U.S., so if you are in a different country, then we will give you the cash equivalent.

The rules are simple, Simply do what is in the box and earn yourself 1 ballot, with a max of 10 ballots possible, to enter yourself into the drawing. 

Time to get Trick or Treating!
