Is it Ken or Kevin? How badly will we pronounce names? Has Cliff watched Avatar? Can Chief Arino stuff his balls in a pigs mouth? Some of these questions may be answered in the first full episode of the new era, uncensored and ad free for you our Patreons!

    It's off to the land of Abba, Ikea and other less stereotypical things as your hosts visit Sweden in December 1992! Ash learns all about Nintendo in in the Nordics with the story of Bergsala from his old friend Andy (aka Tamagon64) whilst Cliff flopps on some meatballs. Then Cliff and Ash listen to frustrated teenagers try to play Street Fighter 2 with touch tone phones. It goes about as well as you'd expect.

  • 27. Focus: The MSX

    01:26:12||Season 2, Ep. 27
    Lets talk about MSX baby, let's talk about Z80, let's talk about all the good ports and the bad ports that may be, let's talk about MSX as Cliff and Ash look at the Japanese standard that almost could, and sometimes did, but then didn't, and still even now, 40 years later will not die. We also highlight some of our favourite games we've played, and reveal the ultimate Pac-man clone!Find out more on the MSX here: https://www.msx.org/Play some games online here: https://www.file-hunter.com/MSX/Theme song by Other ChrisFollow Under Consoletation on BlueSkyFollow Under Consoletation on TwitterFollow Under Consoletation on InstagramSend your thoughts to feedback@underconsoletation.com
  • 26. Micro Live - S01E02

    01:56:36||Season 2, Ep. 26
    It's November 1984! Thatcher! Coal Miner Strikes! Band Aid on the Horizon! And the BBC is doing a new tv show about 'computers'. They'll never catch on. Ash and Cliff settle down for the second episode of 'Micro Live', where we see the new MSX computer range, a man purchases a computer in Croydon, Lesley is obsessed with people damaging their floppies, and a con-man talks to us about American telecoms. This is actually way more entertaining than we're making it sound.There might even be some discussion of pornography.Watch the episode hereTheme song by Other ChrisFollow Under Consoletation on TwitterFollow Under Consoletation on InstagramSend your thoughts to feedback@underconsoletation.com

    Hello Joe! We dive into one of the early titles that helped define what the Sega Megadrive could do and also created a franchise it's The Revenge of Shinobi/The Super Shinobi! We dive into the making of the game, take a look at some of its design choices and cover a timeline that ends up having more in common with Back to the Future than it does the American Ninja craze of the 1980s.

    He's a big giant head that's HUNGRY! It's Portugals CyberMaster, and he's fighting the survivors of humanity, which appears to be children and adults in fetish wear, and this is the version they watered down for Series 2!Ash and Cliff venture into Europe for a show that is as much Eurotrash as it is GamesMaster and spend time in an alternative reality where Sega won the console wars, and we all suffered.Watch CyberMaster S02E01 HERE Watch St1ka's CyberMaster Episode HEREWatch St1ka's Console War in Portugal Episode HEREJoin the conversation on Discord!Theme song by Other ChrisFollow Under Consoletation on TwitterFollow Under Consoletation on InstagramSend your thoughts to feedback@underconsoletation.com
