Twitch streamer SSJ3Butch joins Mike and Jaymo for three animal platformers, Mappy-Land (NES, 1986), Flicky (Sega Genesis, 1991), and Spanky’s Quest (SNES, 1991), as part of their epic quest to research and review every retro game in the Nintendo Switch Online catalog!
In this episode, we also check out Mappy: The Beat, the 2013 Mappy animated series produced by webcomic creators Scott Kurtz and Kris Straub, discuss Flicky’s appearances in the Sonic the Hedgehog franchise, and marvel at the high honors awarded to anyone that could prove they were a Natsume Game Master in Spanky’s Quest.
Thanks for listening, and a very special thanks to Kristal Fields of The Lazy Circles for our catchy new theme song!
