If the chaotic ambience of an early 90s-era arcade could be distilled into one game, it would most likely be Metal Slug. Today we join the boys of the Peregrine Falcon Strike Force, just over 25 years after their first outing, to swap war stories and reminisce about taking down the Rebel Army in a state-of-the-art Supervehicle-001. ---------- Music Attributions Intro / outro excerpts from https://freemusicarchive.org/music/505/Relix_1996-2013/30_505_-_stream/ (Stream) by 505, used under the https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0/legalcode (Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike License). ---------- Mentioned in this episode: Shoutout to Our Patrons!

The quarterly Patron-selected topic is upon us once again! It would seem they have deigned to grace us with a game that is not only not a complete trash fire, but we daresay is... Fun? Good? We don't know what to make of it either.

Since the turtle boys what cut 'em no slack are back in the news with the recent release of Shredder's Revenge, we thought we ought to go back and take a look at Konami's NES port of their smash hit Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles arcade brawler.

The next Patron-selected Top 5 topic is here, and that means it's time for us to weeb out about which of the many JRPG weapons out there we would like in our homes. The definition of "weapon" might have gotten stretched a bit by someone, but our lawyer advised us to claim that fault lies entirely with the Patrons' lack of specificity. ---------- Music Attributions Musical excerpts from https://xdeviruchi.itch.io/8-bit-fantasy-adventure-music-pack (8-Bit Fantasy & Adventure) by xDeviruchi, used under the https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0/legalcode (Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike License). ---------- Mentioned in this episode: Shoutout to Our Patrons!

It's not every day we talk to a Guinness World Record holder... Well, OK, that's not entirely true since we chat with Willie pretty often, but it's of particular importance for this episode since said record is for none other than Sin & Punishment for the Nintendo 64!

You asked for it, and here it is: a brand new series, releasing on alternate weeks from the main episodes, effectively making RHP (finally) a weekly show! Since the new format centers around top 5 lists, we decided to dub it The Flight (beer aficionados will understand the connection). Long-time fans of the show may also realize this doubles as a callback to the early days of RHP. This week's Flight sees us discussing our personal list of 5 games we feel we put too much time into.

The latest Patron-selected topic is here, and it sees us veering off the beaten path to pontificate on a subject that harkens back to our very first episode: digital vs. physical game distribution.
