Gary Butterfield and Kole Ross blast off and crash down with Starflight and Toe Jam & Earl.

This is the "Genesis Games that Want to be PC Games" special, as we look at two bizarre console titles from the early 90s. Starflight is the prototypical galaxy exploration simulator, with a wide world and tons of character. Meanwhile, Toe Jam & Earl is an early take on a rogue-lite whose style doesn't quite make up for its mechanical shortcomings.

Episode 98: Final Fantasy Fables: Chocobo's Dungeon

Gary Butterfield and Kole Ross delve into Final Fantasy Fables: Chocobo's Dungeon.

If you're judging this game on adorableness, it passes with flying colors. If you're judging it on mechanics, it's the best introduction to Roguelikes you're likely to get. If you're judging it on story... Wait, where's Rafaello? I love him so god damn much.
