Light gun games are one of Matt's favorite generes to play! The passion started in the arcade of course, but as time went on, these games became better and better to play at home on your console and a good old CRT of course.

These games used a CRT monitor and a light gun to simulate shooting targets.1980s: In the 1980s, light gun games continued to evolve with the introduction of games like "Operation Wolf" and "Laser Ghost".

"Bring the Arcade experience home!" is a marketing phrase shouted out constantly throughout the 80's and 90's that has embedded itself into everyone from that eras heads. These were sometimes either really good ports or spot on Onnes which we will discuss. As with anything else, this also opened the door for many duds that simply missed the mark and could not capture that arcade experience. In this episode Matt and Wes look at both some really good and really bad arcade ports!

Video games were not always the most consumed form of media on the planet. There was a time, not that long ago, where playing video games was just for the nerds. "Why don't you go out and do something?", was a common phrase many of us heard time and time again. However, once PlayStation began it's dominance in the mid to late 90's slowly but surely the tides of gaming be nerdy were turning. Soon playing video games would become main stream. This once nerdy niche not only became acceptable, but it became the cool thing to do.

The Sega Genesis released in 1989, but it was not until Sonic the Hedgehog would release in June of 1991 that Sega would really begin to gain market share against Nintendo. The release of Sonic as well as an aggressive ad campaign, would lead to Sega bringing serious competition to Nintendo for the first time. Sega followed up the Genesis with creating the Sega CD which brought a new level of audio as well as improved visuals to the system. Unfortunately, Sega released the 32X shortly before the Saturn would release and would essentially mark the beginning of Sega retreating from console manufacturing. We discuss all of that and a whole lot more on this episode of the Nerdthusiast Gaming Podcast!

Matt & Jenny recently have played some classic arcade-style racing games and we discuss our thoughts on these. The games we played include Championship PRO-AM, Super Mario Kart, Blur and Burnout 3 Takedown. Clearly most of these games inspired each other and we played them in order of oldest to newest to really see the evolution between Championship PRO-AM, Super Mario Kart and Blur.

These are our brutally honest opinions of what we think so far of the Xbox Series X. (Make sure you wait to see what Jenny's final thoughts are at the end as she is very PlayStation centric gamer.) We have a few comparisons to both the Xbox One X as well as PS5 to help you guage whether this system may be the right one for you.
The Playstation 5 has been out for one week! Matt & Jenny give their initial impressions of the console itself, the packaging, user interface, accessories and briefly touch on launch games. Should you rush to get one now? We think this will help you make that decision. Would we have tried to get one right away if we were not covering video games? We answer this as well.
