Factory Sealed Retro Gaming Podcast

Tom regales us with tales of the British government while we pretend to love the entirety of Battletoads, when in fact we only made it as far as we did because we took the time to memorize the first three levels.

Final Fantasy 8 is finally over! We’ve compressed time. One of us beat Omega. Ultimecia has fallen. And Squall goes back in time to set in motion the events that kicked this whole thing off in the first place. The post Factory Sealed – Ep. 52: Final Fantasy 8: Disc 4 appeared first on Factory Sealed.

We made it past 50! We celebrate with E.V.O.: Search for Eden and Wild Guns, introduce Factory Sealed Relives, mourn a crashed Mac HDD, and revile some of our most overrated retro games.

It’s all coming into focus. Squall is finally opening up, Rinoa is a Sorceress, Laguna is President, and monsters are falling from the moon. But who is Ultimecia and how are the past, present, and future going to become one? The post Factory Sealed – Ep. 50: Final Fantasy 8: Disc 3 appeared first on Factory Sealed.

A review of Excitebike 64 that doesn’t jive well with history, Axiom Verge and modern retro games,  the unsurprisingly terrible Toy Story 2 (GBC), and not surprisingly terrible Race Drivin’. No semis allowed. The post Factory Sealed – Ep. 49: Excitebike 64, Toy Story 2, and a Brain Hemorrhage Named Race Drivin’ appeared first on Factory Sealed.

Toilet lip gloss, Streets of Rage 2, Road Rash 2, Casper, the best console of all time, and perhaps the most disgustingly feminine way possible to get drunk. The post Factory Sealed – Ep. 48: Streets of Rage 2, Road Rash 2, and Alcohol Soaked Tampons appeared first on Factory Sealed.

Is Squall really dead? Who is Ellone and why is she sending everyone back in time? Did the sorceress really create SeeD knowing it would be the end of her? What’s going on?! The post Factory Sealed – Ep. 46: Final Fantasy 8: Disc 2 appeared first on Factory Sealed.

The prodigal son has returned! Dan Curtis joins the crew to talk about Bloodborne, Majora’s Mask, Final Fantasy Type-0 HD, and the sure-to-be-banned-everywhere video game adaptation of 50 Shades of Grey.

That which was once thought impossible has been done. Eric and Jess have completed perhaps the longest game proposed on the show: Suikoden. Final thoughts within. The post Factory Sealed – Ep. 43: We Actually Beat Suikoden! appeared first on Factory Sealed.

It’s that time of year again when you secretly hope every gift is another game, but tragically ends up being socks and underwear. (Or maybe your games came wrapped in socks and underwear.)
