    Issue 93 Part 2 - Feb 1997 - Mario Kart 64

    We begin with the final chapter of the Shadows of the Empire comic which will be sorely missed as it was off the wall. from C3PO's actual purpose, to the artwork, this truly is the shining light of the episode.

    we also talk about some other games and the contest of the month.

    Stay tuned next month for issue 94!

    Mike and Ivan continue our trek through the slough that is 1997, with a Players Pulse read that is meaty as hell, and the n64 graphics still don't hold up well.

    Issue 91 Pt 2 - Dec 1996 - Mortal Kombat trilogy (Ben's Farewell)

    Ben and John bid us a fond farewell as the show goes on without them. Can Mike prevail on his own? He doesn't have to find out, since Ivan will be joining him for the future episodes. We might have less updates but we will be trying to keep regular now that the Arizonans are now around :)

    Ben has been hosting this show since the begging, but all good things must come to an end. So John joins us to see Ben off in style.  We cover a Mortal Kombat compilation (Deja vu). Ben starts the show at a screeching halt, and we slowly progress from there.

    Enjoy the Final issue of Bens issue. but stay tuned for Mike and Ivan hosting the new year of 1997.
