030 – “Bunch Of Purple Boys”

Released April 28, 2017

“Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: The Movie” (1995) Sega Genesis movie tie-in game. The guys punch and kick their way back to a blue, yellow, white (with some gold), red, pink, and black 1995 with this dismal tie-in Genesis game for the Power Rangers’ first cinematic outing. There’s tension between Pat (temporarily resurrected after his demise last episode) and Steve over the best Ranger – Jason or Tommy – while Jake passes time whittling rocking chairs instead of watching 90’s cable. It’s a reverse “Shaq Fu” this week, with the Genesis’ blast processing falling far short of the SNES version.

“Sonic the Hedgehog 2” (1992) Sega Genesis game. In this, our season one finale, the guys dig deep into Steve’s Sega-kid origins to keep pace with the spinning blue hedgehog and his double-tailed sidekick — whose full name, we discovered, is Miles “Tails” Prower. Seriously.
