Main Quest Podcast

When a global pandemic eradicates the globe and commercialism is truly dead, Festivus will truly be celebrated! Family, friendship, and unity!

You flee your vehicle after running a stop sign, stumbling down an alley as you feel Vengeance stalking you from the shadows. Suddenly, the Defender of Gotham appears but fortunately he falls from the building like a sack of rice, he's out of batarangs and cannot hurt you.

GET OVER HERE! Again! Because this week we're leaving Earthrealm to talk about Mortal Kombat II! I'm joined by Raging Demon (Kommand List) and Rick Firestone (Pixel Project Radio) as we test our might against one of the most popular games in the series. 

Don't be confused, this episode does not star Mickey Mouse but I will be talking about the first game in the Illusion series!What was platforming like on the Genesis in a world without Sonic? Turns out - a little better than you would think. And with all the money put in the right spot, could Mickey have been poised as the mascot for the 16-bit console?? And most of all, how well does Castle of Illusion hold up?

This was coming eventually - it's yet another Sonic game but this time he brought a friend...well another friend. And I have a friend joining me and it's Danny from the Retro Wars podcast to come unlock the lock on technology that is Sonic & Knuckles!

On this very special and final entry of this years Ghoulcade, I'm joined by the one and only Redfox (Knight of The Living Podcast/Drunken Gamers/Super Slash Bros) to talk about the "scariest games of all time".

Back by popular demand, or by accountable inevitability - The Resident Evil series returns as I dive back into the story and lore once again of Resident Evil 4! 

The Ghoulcade rolls on with a curious title straight from Japan, Clock Tower! My guest Vanfernal and I discuss the lasting legacy behind this game, compare its sequels and why a man with scissors is so terrifying

This is a short preview of a longer episode on Toby Fox's controversial Earthbound Halloween Hack! To get the full length episode go to Patreon.com and consider subscribing to the show to get more episodes like this!

The Ghoulcade is officially back! And I can't think of a better way to /episode/index/show/6197d0ca-d321-4eb1-ad9a-758cb2aba028/id/33966182

The show finally, and rightfully returns to the Sega Genesis with the sequel X-Men 2: The Clone Wars! Joining me are brothers Alex and Luke of Low 5 Gaming as we discuss our love for the franchise and comics and what our thoughts are on the changes made to this beloved Sega game.

This week I'm releasing a special Patreon episode here on the main feed! It's a great conversation I had with Chris of A Novel Console about the entire Star Fox franchise from its inception to last gasps of air. Where should the franchise go from here? What could be remade and what are our favorite games of the bunch??

The Main Quest is back! And since I've been away so long I figure I would kick off my return with a mail bag episode to let you guys get to know me a little better, and find out what I've been up to on my hiatus.

Every once in awhile a phenomenon arises from out of nowhere and for the podcast it's Capcom's Ghosts 'n Goblins!

This week on the podcast we're revisiting my 3rd and most popular Zelda episode on Link's Awakening!

This week we're going all the way back to the point and click adventure Shadowgate!

It's only appropriate we're getting to revisit such a "classic" episode of the podcast during this special run. It's the episode on Donkey Kong Classics!

This week we're revisiting an episode I did on a modern indie darling, Hades! This was the first time I was joined by long time friend of the show Eric Gess of Unlockables Podcast (formerly Sidequest Podcast) as we talked about how Xbox Live Arcade shaped modern indie gaming, how Hades sprouted from the frustration of working within EA and how much this game took over our lives.

This summer we're taking a look back at some of the most popular episodes of the program and with Keigh3 right around the corner and my E3 coverage from 2021 being in the top 10 most listened to episodes, this is the perfect time to revisit this tiny time capsule. How many of these were released? How many were broken? And how many do you even remember existing in the first place?!

Time has not been kind to early Genesis games. Everyone remembers Sega post Sonic, but don't really talk about what it was like before Sonic. Unless you're from the UK.And though B-Ross from Super Garbage Day is not English, him and I share fond memories of growing up with The Revenge of Shinobi. How does this compare to everything that came before it? Why is the soundtrack so damn good?! WHY IS SPIDER-MAN HERE?!? And does the game still hold up today??

On the pilot episode of the Main Quest Matinée Ryan and Keith sell you on the idea of why they deserve to talk about film adaptations of their favorite video games! /episode/index/show/6197d0ca-d321-4eb1-ad9a-758cb2aba028/id/33966242

If you thought commercialism within the gaming market died in the 80's, you're terribly mistaken. As you can see from the games I've covered so far, I couldn't escape the licensed games that plagued the store shelves. Taz-Mania is one of those and to help carry the burden that is this Genesis game is Josh from Still Loading. We recount our memories of Looney Tunes becoming the zeitgeist for middle America "attitude" and try to decide if this game still stands the test of time. /episode/index/show/6197d0ca-d321-4eb1-ad9a-758cb2aba028/id/33966247

Here is just a small sample of a Patreon exclusive episode about the Star Fox franchise!

GET OVER HERE! /episode/index/show/6197d0ca-d321-4eb1-ad9a-758cb2aba028/id/33966257

And before you know it, Player Vs Podcast is coming to and end. But there's still one game left to talk about! We're still in the realm of Playstation and what else goes better together than them and Squaresoft? The RPG juggernaut of the 90's is in their prime and experimenting more than ever, with Einhänder being their first foray into the shooter genre. How well does this game stand out from their regular output? And does it still hold up today?!
