TADPOG: Tyler and Dave Play Old Games

Ep. 322 – Dad ‘n Me

We’re continuing Dad Month by talking about Dad ‘n Me, a 2005 flash game from newgrounds.com. We talk a little bit about Newgrounds. Dave gushes about Dan Paladin and side-scrolling beat ’em ups. We open a package from Bloody Knave of Ziggy Moons Mike. We get on a long tangent about Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows. And we answer some voicemails and texts.

Ep. 321 – Haunting Starring Polterguy

We have officially started playing through Digital Trends’ Top 25 Best Sega Genesis games! There’s only one complication: their 25th ranked game is Madden ’94, a game that we talked about back when we were playing through IGN’s Top 100 SNES games. In its place, we play a requested Genesis game called Haunting Starring Polterguy. We also open a package from Sandwich Pope Phil Hawkins and eat the finest Mexican snacks that Woodburn’s Guacamole Market has to offer!

Ep. 320 – Shower With Your Dad Simulator 2015: Do You Still Shower With Your Dad

The YMCA Courtesy Boys are back, and we’re talking about showering with dads! Questionably by coincidence we’re talking about a shower-based game called Shower With Your Dad Simulator 2015: Do You Still Shower With Your Dad?. We tell showering stories, we talk about the different kinds of Santas, we answer some voice mail, and of course, we talk about Gilmore Girls.

Ep. 319 – Sonic the Hedgehog

It took us 319 episodes but it’s finally time. We’re talking about Sonic the Hedgehog for the Sega Genesis. We also complain about the lack of air conditioning in TADPOG Blanket Fort. A lot of comparisons are made to Mario. We tell the tale of Guy Fieri’s origin story.

Ep. 318 – Little Fears Retrospective

Josh, Nicole, and Ian join us for the first episode with our new soundboard (thank you, Patreon Donors)! We wrap up Tyler’s Cat in the Hat Little Fears game by talking about the system in general, we go over some things that the players missed, and we get into some of the influences for the game. We also open a package from Pinball Archmage Chris Edler and we take some time to answer listener text messages.

Ep. 308 – Little Fears (Actual Play, Part 3)

TADPOG Sweethearts Josh and Nicole “Clown Movies” Nance join us for the continuation of Tyler’s Little Fears game. Today’s Actual Play episode is brought to you by…taffy!

Ep. 317 – Out to Lunch

We’ve already talked about Burger Time on a previous episode. What’s left? Have we come to the end of our culinary video game road? Mais non! There is another! This week we’re talking about Out to Lunch for the Super Nintendo. Yep, that’s a real game. In the spirit of this game about fine cuisine, we decide to skip our second MRE; we read another letter from our Fancy Listener in Evansville; we start-up the super-company Burger Tech; we have real talk about dieting, weight-loss and fitness; and we answer some voicemails.

Ep. 316 – Emily Is Away

We warm our hearts by the cool light of a Compaq Presario CRT monitor as we talk about Emily Is Away, a game by Kyle Seeley. We reminisce about chatting online in the early 2000s. We eat the MRE that Michael mailed us last week. Sweet Baby Tyler reads a love note from high school. We get a followup on Chickenhead696969. We take some calls.

Ep. 315 – Bart vs. the Space Mutants

We’ve talked about doing this game for awhile and now it’s finally time: Bart vs. the Space Mutants for the NES. Tyler took his sleep meds twenty minutes before recording, so you know it’s a good one. But wait! There’s more! We open a package from Michael H. from Tucson, we talk about where birds come from, we take a few calls AND we announce a new list!

Ep. 314 – Little Fears (Actual Play, Part 5)

Josh, Nicole and Dave reprise their roles in the finale to Tyler’s Cat in the Hat Little Fears game. Will Char, Fidjit and Glem survive their final encounter with the sadistic agent of chaos known as The Cat? What scars will fester in their psyches? Who turns to fluff? Find out on this Actual Play session of Little Fears!
