This isn’t your typical episode of Critical Strike, in fact it isn’t a episode at all! If you love video game music then be sure to check it out! If you don’t then you’ll probably want to wait until the next official episode which will hopefully be next week!
Music played in this episode: Entertainment System, Snatcher, Bionic Commando Re-Armed, Starship Amazing, Select Start, NeoGeo Battle Coliseum, Rygar, Super Castlevnia IV, MegaMan 9, SSX Tricky, Final Fantasy 7: Crisis Core.

Short Mr Keith yet Kyle remained making it all good! This episode was kind of weird, Kyle and I seemed to go off on little ramble bits and of course at one point it ended up being a commercial for The Megas (go buy their album!) but thats alright by me!
- What we’ve been up to
- Lovely ice cream truck music
- Top 5 games we were hopelessly addicted to
- Why we think video game movies are full of fail
Music in this episode: MegaMan 3 with lyrcs intro, Sonic the Hedgehog 3, Super Smash Bros. Melee, The Megas.
Special thanks to mik and the pong world champion “announcer guy” from The Fanboys for the opening clip.

I’ve always been a big fan of what people now consider “retro” games, to me the best times in gaming are the Commodore 64, Atari 2600, Nintendo Entertainment System and so forth.
One thing I think that has sadly been lost on gamers of today is the fun factor in which these games bring out more than anything, at least to me. Today everything seems to be about graphics and big explosions, while back then they couldn’t do that and had to focus on just making something that was fun (or completely horrible, heres looking at you McKids).
So anyway, I figured I’d make a little tribute video showing off some of my favorite games on the NES, I’ll probably continue making these over time since it was a pretty cool project.
I’ve never had to release a video on the feed, lets hope it works! If it doesn’t then you can always watch the video over on YouTube.
