    102 - Pro Wrestling

    Pro Wrestling for the NES is an underappreciated classic that deserves more run. A lot of people have moved to collecting games and not playing them. Luckily, for Pro Wrestling, it is a black box NES game, otherwise all you'd remember is how terrible WWF Wrestlemania was.

    101 - The Legend of Zelda

    We are running late so I don't have time to write a witty description. The last time something like this happened, it was because of some audio issues. Again, no time to discuss and I stand by that, but they have created a delay. So we are sorry for starting late.It reminds of when nickels used to have pictures of bees on them. "Gimmie five bees for a quarter, they'd say.."Anyway, here's Zelda.

    99 - Shenmue

    Shenmue is a 1999 game on the Sega Dreamcast. If I were to try to elaborate any further, I would run out of characters for this description. So tune in and listen, because it doesn't seem like we can run out of characters during a podcast / livestream.

    98- Metal Gear Solid

    Metal Gear Solid is a story. A story about a snake. Wait, no.. a story about a MAN. Solid Snake. That's as deep as we are willing to go, because it seems like you could spend the rest of your life dissecting the story of Metal Gear Solid if you wanted.. and we do not.

    97 - Tekken 3

    Have you ever really sat down and read the backstory of any fighting game ever? Let me tell you.. it may seem like it would be simple.. but it never is.Tekken 3 is a classic example of this. There's so much backstory going on that we would lose every listener we have if we tried to go into it during the show. So read up on it.. or don't. Just listen to the episode instead and pretend there's no story. That's what we did for almost thirty years.

    96 - Resident Evil

    Have you ever seen the movie "Sweet Home"? If you're an in-the-weeds video game nerd, you're at least familiar with the Sweet Home video game by Capcom on the Famicom in 1989. The movie is basically Poltergeist but with a furnace. Also, did we mention they made a videogame about the movie for the Famicom?

    95 - D

    Look, I am going to level with you.. D is a polarizing game. Some may not really even consider it a game but more a form of punishment that you are made to endure. Want to see where the LJN gang lands on the subject*? Then tune in and listen *No John or Robby tonight

    94 - Ken Griffey Jr. Presents Major League Baseball

    Ken Griffey Jr. is one of the greatest baseball players of his generation.A first-ballot Hall of Famer, Griffey Jr. defied his generation's appetite for performance-enhancing drugs. He didn't need it. All he needed was.. PURE.. GRIFF.Also, Griffey, Jr. happens to be Jay's favorite baseball player of all-time, so I am going to save the sardonic comments for once (Mariners suck).

    Remember when computers didn't have optical drives? Well, not like today. BEFORE optical drives. Remember that? Well, if you do, it's time for you to schedule a colonoscopy.
