Shoot Em Up Month kicks off with a 1990 Sega Genesis classic. Thunder Force III has six distinct weapons, a planet select structure that gives you freedom from the start and music that hits from the title screen. Fast, hard and completely satisfying.

Also - what game world would I most want to live in? The answer might surprise you.

Action Adventure Month ends with a 1997 PlayStation hidden gem. Alundra has a devoted fanbase, a clever dream entering mechanic and controls that feel great. But does it unlock the Achievement?

Also - what game deserves more recognition? My answer might be the most obscure thing I've said on this show yet.

Action Adventure Month continues with a 1990 TurboGrafx-16 hidden gem most people have never heard of. Neutopia wears its Zelda inspiration proudly - and honestly that's not a bad thing at all. Clean controls, great music and a world that kept pulling me forward.

Also - what game would I recommend to someone who doesn't game? The answer might surprise you.

Action Adventure Month continues with a 1992 Sega Genesis isometric classic. Landstalker has a devoted fanbase, great music and impressive visuals. But those diagonal controls...

Action Adventure Month begins - and we're starting with one of the most criminally overlooked games of the SNES era. Terranigma was never released in North America. I almost quit in the first ten minutes. Both of those facts make what happened next even more surprising.

Also - I owe you an apology for the break. And an explanation.

Beat Em Up Month continues with a 1993 Capcom NES hidden gem. Mighty Final Fight takes the Final Fight universe and reimagines it in a chibi art style with an exp and levelling system that changes everything. The music alone is worth the price of admission.

Also - my most controversial answer yet. A Zelda game that didn't live up to the hype. Coming from someone with a Zelda tattoo that's saying something.

This week's question: What is your favourite or most memorable video game soundtrack? Drop your answer on Instagram or Twitter!

Beat Em Up Month continues with a 1994 SNES cult classic. The Ninja Warriors has a devoted following and a soundtrack that rivals the best on the console. But does it unlock the Achievement?

Also - my favourite video game hero might surprise you. It's not who you'd expect from a Nintendo guy.

This week's question: What game didn't live up to the hype for you? Drop your answer on Instagram or Twitter!

Beat Em Up Month kicks off with a game most people have never heard of - Cadillacs and Dinosaurs. A 1993 Capcom arcade classic set in a post apocalyptic world where humans and dinosaurs coexist. Four playable characters, creative bosses and dinosaur DNA fusion.

Does it unlock the Achievement?

Also - my favourite arcade memory involves a place called Topo Gigos and The Simpsons. More on that inside.
