10/25/2023

Ep. 19: WTF Happened?

9/24/2023
The Sega Mania podcast is back for the first time in almost a year with this extra special episode. Magazine creator Tim takes us on a journey through the history of the magazine. He details what went wrong, what went right, and explains why he disgracefully brought the whole thing crashing down in a ball of flames, only to then bring it back again 6 months later. It's a wild, if somewhat monotone, exposé on the world's greatest modern retro Sega magazine.

Ep. 18: Egging a Parper

11/15/2022
Sega Mania Magazine brings you your slightly unusual dose of madness as we press on in our new four-man podcast format. Alex, Rob, Steve and Simon won't let you down though, it's still nearly two hours of chuffin' nonsense. The Mega Drive rankings enter the year of 1994, covered by Issue 5 of our wonderful magazine, and we begin with Sonic 3, Dr. Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine, Pete Sampras Tennis, and ToeJam & Earl in Panic on Funkotron. Will Sonic 3 top our list? Will it even be the top Sonic game? You know what to do. We have some more questions that cover everything from our biggest Sega Mania regret to whether we like dark nights. It's the typical cornucopia of craziness from you lovely lot. Don't forget (and, seriously, don't forget because we've basically run out now) to get your questions in to podcast@sega-mania.com to immortalise yourself in podcast format. As always, here's the pre-pod list of games to follow along: Streets of Rage II Sonic the Hedgehog 2 Streets of Rage Street Fighter II: Special Champion Edition Gunstar Heroes Rocket Knight Adventures Sonic the Hedgehog Shinobi III: Return of the Ninja Master Revenge of Shinobi TMHT: The Hyperstone Heist Speedball 2: Brutal Deluxe QuackShot Starring Donald Duck ToeJam & Earl Castle of Illusion Starring Mickey Mouse Shining Force Thunder Force IV Sonic Spinball World of Illusion Sensible Soccer Columns Golden Axe Alien Storm Aladdin Mortal Kombat Spider-Man vs The Kingpin Road Rash II Zombies Road Rash Strider Micro Machines NHL '94 Wonder Boy in Monster World Jungle Strike Flashback Landstalker Cool Spot Dungeons & Dragons: Warriors of the Eternal Sun Klax Dick Tracy FIFA International Soccer World Cup Italia '90 Ghouls 'n' Ghosts OutRun Alien 3 Home Alone Desert Strike Atomic Runner Super Hang-on ESWAT The Terminator Taz-Mania Space Harrier II Zero Wing Galaxy Force II Decap Attack Kid Chameleon Turrican Splatterhouse 2 Jurassic Park WWF Royal Rumble Madden NFL '94 WWF Super Wrestlemania Batman Super Thunder Blade Alex Kidd in the Enchanted Castle Bubsy In: Claws Encounters of the Furred Kind LHX Attack Chopper TaleSpin Bart vs. The Space Mutants Shadow of the Beast Steel Talons

Ep. 17: Revenge of the Steve

10/25/2022
Steve's back! In fact, everybody's back for this likely final seven-man episode of the pod. We'll be switching to a rotating foursome moving forward, so drink in the madness of too many cooks while it lasts! There's a discussion about naughty words and how they affect a film's ranking for reasons I've already forgotten and can't be bothered to check, but it's all a weird segue into a big chat about our time in Blackpool for Play Expo 2022. The Mega Drive game rankings then resume, as we finally tick off Issue 4's lot. Zombies Ate My Neighbors, Aladdin, Madden NFL '94, NHL '94 and Flashback join the hallowed ranks to make a total of 71 games at this point. Don't forget to get your questions in to podcast@sega-mania.com and here's the pre-recording list of ranked games for you to follow: Streets of Rage II Sonic the Hedgehog 2 Streets of Rage Street Fighter II: Special Champion Edition Gunstar Heroes Rocket Knight Adventures Sonic the Hedgehog Shinobi III: Return of the Ninja Master Revenge of Shinobi TMHT: The Hyperstone Heist Speedball 2: Brutal Deluxe QuackShot Starring Donald Duck ToeJam & Earl Castle of Illusion Starring Mickey Mouse Shining Force Thunder Force IV Sonic Spinball World of Illusion Sensible Soccer Columns Golden Axe Alien Storm Mortal Kombat Spider-Man vs The Kingpin Road Rash II Road Rash Strider Micro Machines Wonder Boy in Monster World Jungle Strike Landstalker Cool Spot Dungeons & Dragons: Warriors of the Eternal Sun Klax Dick Tracy FIFA International Soccer World Cup Italia '90 Ghouls 'n' Ghosts OutRun Alien 3 Home Alone Desert Strike Atomic Runner Super Hang-on ESWAT The Terminator Taz-Mania Space Harrier II Zero Wing Galaxy Force II Decap Attack Kid Chameleon Turrican Splatterhouse 2 Jurassic Park WWF Royal Rumble WWF Super Wrestlemania Batman Super Thunder Blade Alex Kidd in the Enchanted Castle Bubsy In: Claws Encounters of the Furred Kind LHX Attack Chopper TaleSpin Bart vs. The Space Mutants Shadow of the Beast Steel Talons

Ep. 16: Queuing for a Wii

9/26/2022
We've got a special focus for this episode, where we talk about a game soon to feature on the back cover of Sega Mania Magazine issue 7 - Sonic Triple Trouble 16-bit from @NoahNCopeland We wax lyrical on just how impressive and 90s Sega-reminiscent it is, marvel at how well it runs, and implore you to keep your eyes peeled for more info in the upcoming magazine. You can grab a copy of the game here: https://gamejolt.com/games/sonictripletrouble16bit/322794 We had a very special listener question that asked us to rank the main Sega consoles, so that's exactly what we did. How do we rank Master System, Game Gear, Mega Drive, Saturn and Dreamcast? Listen on to find out, and let us know how you would rank them by emailing podcast@sega-mania.com

Ep. 15: Listener Questions Special!

9/4/2022
It seems the fallout from The Streets of Rage 2 Incident has given rise to a short hiatus for the Mega Drive rankings, and what better way to plug that gap than by answering questions from you lovely lot! We smashed through our backlog of listener emails, answering questions about our first gaming memories, most recent games we bought, our preferences for movie watching, games we want to see remade, and loads more. It's basically a two-hour long tangent. We'll have a very special ranking next time around, as well as a game we missed, so if you maniacs want to get involved next episode then please contact us at podcast@sega-mania.com. Oh, and don't forget to watch out for us at Play Expo in Blackpool - less than a month to go now!

Ep. 14: Jungle Slurp

8/21/2022
We introduce our newest member of the Sega Mania mag/pod crew this episode, as Tom joins in the madness that is quickly becoming the messiest ranking of Mega Drive games in existence (as well as the best). We're still going through Issue 4's games (from 1993), laying down judgement almighty upon Jungle Strike, FIFA International Soccer, Sensible Soccer, TMHT: The Hyperstone Heist, Bubsy In: Claws Encounters of the Furred Kind, and Shining Force. We have a letter from a weasel that asks us about games we've recently completed, movies we've watched, and more! Don't forget to send your questions to podcast@sega-mania.com if you want to get involved and be our mate. Here's the ranking list pre-recording so you can (try to) follow along: Streets of Rage II Sonic the Hedgehog 2 Streets of Rage Street Fighter II: Special Champion Edition Gunstar Heroes Rocket Knight Adventures Sonic the Hedgehog Shinobi III: Return of the Ninja Master Revenge of Shinobi Speedball 2: Brutal Deluxe QuackShot Starring Donald Duck ToeJam & Earl Castle of Illusion Starring Mickey Mouse Thunder Force IV Sonic Spinball World of Illusion Columns Golden Axe Alien Storm Mortal Kombat Spider-Man vs The Kingpin Road Rash II Road Rash Strider Micro Machines Wonder Boy in Monster World Landstalker Cool Spot Dungeons & Dragons: Warriors of the Eternal Sun Klax Dick Tracy World Cup Italia '90 Ghouls 'n' Ghosts OutRun Alien 3 Home Alone Desert Strike Atomic Runner Super Hang-on ESWAT The Terminator Taz-Mania Space Harrier II Zero Wing Galaxy Force II Decap Attack Kid Chameleon Turrican Splatterhouse 2 Jurassic Park WWF Royal Rumble WWF Super Wrestlemania Batman Super Thunder Blade Alex Kidd in the Enchanted Castle LHX Attack Chopper TaleSpin Bart vs. The Space Mutants Shadow of the Beast Steel Talons

Ep. 13: What if Nessie is a Dinosaur Ghost?

8/5/2022
The Sega Mania crew - Alex, Rob, Simon and Sam - bring more maniacal Sega-fuelled fun straight into your ears. This episode, we tried very hard to follow overlord Tim's decree to not talk about poopies and peepees, so you'll have to hear how well we did there. Rankings continue to dominate our lives as we run the collective rule over the second batch of games from Issue 4 of the magazine, which covered 1993. Shinobi III, Cool Spot, Mortal Kombat, Streets of Rage II, Micro Machines, and WWF Royal Rumble meet their fate in the list o' doom. Finally, we have a listener email salvaged from the podcast@sega-mania.com spam folder that serves up some quick-fire (ish) questions about music, google searches, bucket lists and more! Oh, and don't forget to buy the magazine at sega-mania.com As always, here's the ranking list pre-recording so you can follow along: Sonic the Hedgehog 2 Streets of Rage Street Fighter II: Special Champion Edition Gunstar Heroes Rocket Knight Adventures Sonic the Hedgehog Revenge of Shinobi Speedball 2: Brutal Deluxe QuackShot Starring Donald Duck ToeJam & Earl Castle of Illusion Starring Mickey Mouse Thunder Force IV Sonic Spinball World of Illusion Columns Golden Axe Alien Storm Spider-Man vs The Kingpin Road Rash II Road Rash Strider Wonder Boy in Monster World Landstalker Dungeons & Dragons: Warriors of the Eternal Sun Klax Dick Tracy World Cup Italia '90 Ghouls 'n' Ghosts OutRun Alien 3 Home Alone Desert Strike Atomic Runner Super Hang-on ESWAT The Terminator Taz-Mania Space Harrier II Zero Wing Galaxy Force II Decap Attack Kid Chameleon Turrican Splatterhouse 2 Jurassic Park WWF Super Wrestlemania Batman Super Thunder Blade Alex Kidd in the Enchanted Castle LHX Attack Chopper TaleSpin Bart vs. The Space Mutants Shadow of the Beast Steel Talons

Sega Mania Extra: Meet the Maniac Ep.1 - Rob Kirkup

7/31/2022
The very first podcast in our Meet the Maniac series, sees us interview magazine writer Rob Kirkup. We ask Rob about his history with Sega and gaming, how he joined the magazine, what his favourite boss fight is, and many more gaming related questions. The most important question of all however, was "What is your favourite ghost?". If you love hearing Rob's tales about the spooky and unexplained then this is an episode you do not want to miss!

Ep. 12: Gurt Mania

7/21/2022
We're Sega Maniacs, Maniacs, that's for sure, and we're podcasting like we never have before. Actually, it's quite similar to how we have before. Except, instead of starting the episode talking about taking our britches to brown town, we have a chat about having a lovely sit-down wee. Where do you (not) stand on this contentious issue, you pissers? Rankings are the main order du jour, and this episode is basically a hall of fame. Gracing us with their immaculate presence are Street Fighter II: Special Champion Edition, Landstalker, Gunstar Heroes, Sonic Spinball, and Rocket Knight Adventures. Oh and Jurassic Park is here too. We're sorry about that. We finish the show with some introspection on our accents in response to a listener question. Don't forget to send your questions to podcast@sega-mania.com and head over to the website to grab your copy of the banger that is issue 6 of Sega Mania now! Here's the ranking list from before the recording so you can follow along: Sonic the Hedgehog 2 Streets of Rage Sonic the Hedgehog Revenge of Shinobi Speedball 2: Brutal Deluxe QuackShot Starring Donald Duck ToeJam & Earl Castle of Illusion Starring Mickey Mouse Thunder Force IV World of Illusion Columns Golden Axe Alien Storm Spider-Man vs The Kingpin Road Rash II Road Rash Strider Wonder Boy in Monster World Dungeons & Dragons: Warriors of the Eternal Sun Klax Dick Tracy World Cup Italia '90 Ghouls 'n' Ghosts OutRun Alien 3 Home Alone Desert Strike Atomic Runner Super Hang-on ESWAT The Terminator Taz-Mania Space Harrier II Zero Wing Galaxy Force II Decap Attack Kid Chameleon Turrican Splatterhouse 2 WWF Super Wrestlemania Batman Super Thunder Blade Alex Kidd in the Enchanted Castle LHX Attack Chopper TaleSpin Bart vs. The Space Mutants Shadow of the Beast Steel Talons

Ep. 11: Fudge Pants Forrester

7/8/2022
The Sega Mania crew is back once again with more fantastic tales of filling our pants with bum gravy and getting stuck in a nun's back passage. What else would you expect? It's also new issue time, so we once again talk up the merits of the brilliant magazine we risked our relationships and sanity to put together. If it's insight into what went on behind the scenes of the UK's first retro Sega mag you want, then you're in for a treat! Then, of course, we get back to the rankings in better spirits (mostly) than we were last time, as the games covered this episode were far less heinous than in Episode 10. Quaking in their boots at our impending judgement are Wonder Boy in Monster World, Zero Wing, Home Alone, Desert Strike, LHX Attack Chopper and Speedball 2: Brutal Deluxe. We finish off the pod with another reader question, this time about our favourite animated movies. And yes, we're still able to keep that Sega-related too.

Ep. 10: Helmet Special

6/24/2022
Happy Friday, Maniacs (Sorry, Tim)! The Sega Mania Podcast is back with more of what you love from the guys you tolerate. Well, less of them this time as it's a five-man pod. It's just a little Steve and Sam-less, it's still good, it's still good! First up, we chat about the long-ago promised Game We Missed: M.U.S.H.A. This blistering vertical-scrolling shooter gets a proper going over by the lads, with a hefty inserted discussion on how expensive retro games are these days, and the most we've personally ever paid for one. The rankings return with easily the worst batch yet, as we crowbar the following stinkers in somewhere near the bottom (and move on, as Rob would say): Kid Chameleon, Klax, TaleSpin, Road Rash II, Bart vs. The Space Mutants, and WWF Super Wrestlemania. Ok, so Klax and Road Rash II are alright. Lastly, we have a listener question asking us what our favourite games ever are and why. If you want to ask us a question, please send them in to podcast@sega-mania.com. Don't forget we have a Patreon too, where you can support us for a whole heap of cool rewards and listen to an exclusive 'Meet the Maniac' episode all about our beloved Rob Kirkup. Here's the rankings list (pre-pod) that you can follow along with: Sonic the Hedgehog 2 Streets of Rage Sonic the Hedgehog Revenge of Shinobi QuackShot Starring Donald Duck ToeJam & Earl Castle of Illusion Starring Mickey Mouse Thunder Force IV World of Illusion Columns Golden Axe Alien Storm Spider-Man vs The Kingpin Road Rash Strider Dungeons & Dragons: Warriors of the Eternal Sun Dick Tracy World Cup Italia '90 Ghouls 'n' Ghosts OutRun Alien 3 Atomic Runner Super Hang-on ESWAT The Terminator Taz-Mania Space Harrier II Galaxy Force II Decap Attack Turrican Splatterhouse 2 Batman Super Thunder Blade Alex Kidd in the Enchanted Castle Shadow of the Beast Steel Talons

Ep. 9: Sam’s Never Seen an Owl

5/30/2022
We're all business this episode. Well... until the listener questions push us off the rails, but that's your fault. You did that. We dive straight into the rankings of six more games from Issue 3 (1992), running the rule over Steel Talons, Batman, Alien 3, Taz-Mania, Thunder Force IV and Splatterhouse 2. Once that's out of our system, we jump into a lovely listener question about what games we'd want to relive with our kiddywinks, and a four-year-old makes up some names for everyone. Also, Tim sees owls in the road. Sam doesn't. We have a Patreon now, by the way!

Ep. 8: Here Comes A New Challenger!

5/1/2022
We're now a magnificent seven instead of a sinister six! Please welcome new staff member David to his maiden podcast recording! To go easy on him, we paused the rankings for a week and instead went back to a Game We Missed that we missed. Tiny Toon Adventures: Buster's Hidden Treasure is a game we didn't include in Issue 4, so we all had a go at it here. Some liked it, some hated it. What do you think? We then dive into a big chunk of listener questions (we're running out now, so get 'em in to podcast@sega-mania.com) where we chat about our best gaming bargains, hidden talents, and why we don't cover newer games in our 90's-themed magazine. Enjoy!

Ep. 7: Greta FUNberg

4/15/2022
It's time, maniacs, for yet another episode of our glorious podcast. This time, rather than playing the promised 'game we missed' we have a big circle jerk over Issue 5 of the magazine, because it won't sell itself now will it? We've got behind the scenes insight into a variety of the upcoming reviews (including the game that broke Sam), Steve tells us all about his interview with the creator of ToeJam & Earl, Rob reveals the scoop on a certain popstar's connection to the music in Sonic 3, Alex wonders where the hell Michael Jordan is, and Tim tells us how tired it all made him. Worth it. Our rankings continue with the usual amount of controversy, bargaining, swearing, reminiscing, and holding Sam's old reviews to account. Getting ranked right in the you-know-what this time are six 1992 titles from Issue 3: Sonic 2, Galaxy Force II, Dungeons & Dragons, World of Illusion, Atomic Runner, and The Terminator. We end the show, as always, with another stonking listener question that has us all waxing lyrical about the local video game shops we used to frequent in happier times. Don't forget to get your questions in to podcast@sega-mania.com and buy your copy of Issue 5 of Sega Mania Magazine at https://www.sega-mania.com/ now!

Ep. 6: Above Columns, Below Golden Axe

4/5/2022
We're back once again for more Sega Mania Podcast madness! Apologies this is coming out a bit late, but our big mean overlord told us we had to finish off some poxy magazine so we crunched on that and Alex didn't have time to edit this absolute mammoth episode until now. We carry on the new tradition of covering a game we missed in the magazine with Robocop vs The Terminator, and it's an absolute banger. No more Alex the Kidd anger here, folks! Part 2 is the continuation of ranking every Mega Drive game featured in the mag thus far, and on the docket this time are the remaining titles from Issue 2. Shadow of the Beast, Streets of Rage, OutRun, Turrican, Road Rash, Alien Storm, and ToeJam & Earl get ranked good and proper - and we actually all played the games beforehand so no more abstaining! Part 3 is more of your wonderful listener questions, where we talk about our biggest gaming shames, Sega games with the best potential for a movie tie-in, and someone made Rob tell another ghost story. It's as awesome as usual. Get your questions in to podcast@sega-mania.com to join in. Thanks for listening, make sure you get your copy of Issue 5 over at www.sega-mania.com now it's gone to press, and pay attention for a promo code for 15% off Issues 1-4. Love you, bye!

Ep. 5: We Have Another Rank and We Have Another Cry

3/15/2022
This is definitely our most Sega episode yet of Sega Mania Podcast - only took us five episodes to keep (mostly) on topic! Beginning this episode is a new segment: Games We Missed. Every episode, we'll be picking a game not reviewed in the magazine (up to 1994) to play and discuss on the pod. This episode, we randomly drew Alex THE Kidd in Miracle World for Master System. It's a game we'd all played before, and one that...well, it's not great. If you're a huge fan of the game, prepare your ears because it's getting roasted. We also return to ranking in this episode, and it's time to judge half the games covered in issue 2 of the mag (1991). Where do Sonic the Hedgehog, Castle of Illusion, Spider-Man vs The Kingpin, Dick Tracy, Quackshot and Decap Attack fit into our Sega Mania Official Rankings list? Will everyone fall out over Columns again? Lastly, there's a couple of cracking listener questions that let us reminisce about the glory of 90s gaming mags and why they inspired us to do all this nonsense. Enjoy, and don't forget to pre-order your copy of Sega Mania Magazine Issue 5 at www.sega-mania.com now!

Ep. 4: It’s got Iain Lee on it

3/3/2022
You read that correctly, Maniacs, this episode of SMP is a special one as we got an actual real celebrity famous person rich man to join us and chat about Sega - former host of the 11 O'Clock Show, 3rd place-finisher in I'm A Celebrity, and big Sega fan Iain Lee! We answer some listener questions on games that disappointed us, games that weren't as good when we went back to them as adults to review them for the mag, Xbox vs PlayStation and more! Iain tells us about asking, and receiving, a free Dreamcast from Sega while he was host of the 11 O'Clock Show, being offered to host a GamesMaster reboot once upon a time, and lets us in on the issues he had while hosting gaming TV show Thumb Bandits for Channel 4 back in the early 2000s.

2/14/2022
It's a spooky, ghostly episode of SMP this time around. Definitely, 100% always about ghosts. Nothing else. The reason for this is we hear another unfortunate tale from Rob 'The Unluckiest Writer in Literature' Kirkup, as his dream interview with Freddy Flintoff gets... well you'll have to listen to find out! We also discuss the games we've been playing recently before diving into a Know Your Enemy-style quiz based on 1994. Closet Nintendo fans rejoice, this one's for you! In the letters segment, we answer questions on our favourite 90s kids' shows and debate the Sega games that are amazing apart from one fatal flaw that ruins them.
