The guys release a spooky episode way after Halloween, because they can. A Nightmare on Elm Street is a 1 to 4 player action platformer by the infamous LJN. The treats don’t stop as Trevor shares 2 incredibly embarrassing stories (stick around to the end), and they eat a variety of treats (and some tricks) from around the world. Because apparently y’all like chewing sounds?

What better way to celebrate the 150th episode of Retro Blissed than to play the game most blamed for the video game crash of the 1980s and the downfall of Atari? The guys put E.T. to the test and tell you if it really is the “worst game of all time.” But this is episode 150, so the fun doesn’t end there! The second half of the show is “Dante’s Inferno: the 9 Circles of Canned Meat Hell!” Warning: if you can’t stand the sound of men chewing gross food on the microphone or the sound of possible vomiting, skip the second half of the show. Here’s to 150 more.

Michael Jordan stars in this Super Nintendo exclusive platformer. Trevor and Johnny are finally back together recording in person, and Johnny apparently thought it was a good idea to mute Trevor’s side of the mic for the first 20 minutes. Don’t worry, it only sounds terrible for the first 20 minutes. Retro Blissed: screwing up since 1984.

Streets of Rage 2 is one of the most beloved games for the Sega Genesis. However, up to now it has been a major blind spot for the guys. Will it dethrone their beloved TMNT beat em ups? Will they hate it? Will there be banal banter and a dumb quiz show? At least two of these things is certainly true.
