Retro Blissed

Surprise! A special episode of Retro Blissed is here! Trevor has an open talk about the hole Retro Blissed has left in his life, the possible future of this channel, and ends by doing a quick year in review of Retro Blissed episodes from 2023.

On this very special episode of Retro Blissed, Trevor and Johnny talk about some very important things… It’s pretty boring and WHO CARES??? The second half is the fun part: a MASSIVE sized Bliss quiz full of insight into the twisted minds behind the definitive* podcast in all of retro gaming. (*unofficially. Also we do not know the definition of the word definitive).

Mario & Luigi Superstar Saga came out in 2003 for the Gameboy Advance. It was the first Mario & Luigi game, but the third Mario RPG behind the SNES original and Paper Mario for N64. Will Trevor and Johnny be charmed by this offbeat RPG adventure, or will they react the way most civilized people react to them, with mild curiosity and strong disgust?"

Castlevania III for the NES and Famicom is the last in the blood sucking trilogy for the NES, and considered by many one of the best in the series. But will Trevor and Johnny be able to overcome the immense challenge of this NES hard game, or will they fall off the steps and break their engorged bodies?

The guys review the other Super Mario Land game for Gameboy. That is, after some of the worst attempts at banter ever attempted. Seriously, it seems this podcast just gets worse and worse and no one cares. When Retro Blissed literally ruins audio for everyone, who is to blame, really, when the warning signs have been there for all to see for years? FOR YEARS.

Eliminator Boat Duel is an action packed top down racer for the NES. It also features 8-bit bikini clad women, which, much like the powerful speed boats featured in the game, proves too much for a couple of immature morons to handle.

Link's Awakening was the first portable Zelda game. Trevor and Johnny review the DX version released later for the Gameboy Color. This episode includes a new Bliss Quiz, an embarrassing story, and was too big to fit into a pocket...much like Trevor and Johnny.

Knight Rider is a 1989 Nintendo Entertainment System game based on the hit tv series. Tim joins Johnny and Trevor to decide if this game is a Hasselhoff, or just a hassle.

Welcome to Pocket Review, from the guys that brought you Retro Blissed! Pocket Review is back with a cute spin off of the Castlevania series for the original Gameboy. You play as Dracula's kid as you platform your way through fun levels and shoot fireballs at goofy enemies.

Fan favorite Mario Party 2 for N64 took Nintendo's Mario and crew to space, a pirate ship, the wild west, an unexplored jungle, and even a spooky graveyard as dice are rolled, friendships are ruined, and thumbs are destroyed. In their advanced and weakened age, will Trevor and Johnny have the physical stamina to dance topless? Err, I mean to win at Mario Party.

Tim joins Trevor and Johnny as they recap games covered in 2022 with such awards as best graphics, most disappointing game, and more before ending with their top 5 games covered by Retro Blissed in 2022. This is not your momma's award show. It's the Blisseders award show. Whatever that means...

Altered Beast for the Sega Genesis was a launch game and the original pack in game with the system. Will this game make Trevor and Johnny arise from their graves? Or is a lifetime of fast food and Chinese buffets too much for even Zeus to overcome? Stay tuned for the full review, a new bliss quiz, and a story about farting in the grocery store.

Welcome to Pocket Review, from the guys that brought you Retro Blissed! Men in Black: the Series for the Gameboy Color is a simple action game based on the cartoon series. Not the movie you know and love. Now that we have that disappointment out of the way, be warned that the first half of this episode is Trevor, Tim, and Johnny discussing the sad things going on lately in their miserable little lives. Enjoy.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles was the 1989 Arcade original, released in 1990 on the NES as TMNT 2: the Arcade Game. Trevor and Johnny cover both versions and finally close the book on classic turtles beat ‘em ups. They’ve covered them all now. Don’t worry, much like a 3rd trip to the Chinese buffet bar, they’ll find a way to cover more turtles games than anyone should, until their little turtle bellies explode and there is a turtle funeral that NO ONE ATTENDS. JUST LIKE NO ONE READS THESE BLURBS.

Klonoa for GBA is a 2001 puzzle platformer that takes the basic gameplay of the original PlayStation game, makes it 2-D, and mixes in some light puzzle elements. Will Tim, Trevor, and Johnny be charmed by Klonoa, or will they be having some cat/rabbit burgers for dinner?

Trevor and Johnny FINALLY take to the streets of Springfield to finish Simpsons month with The Simpsons Arcade game. Will it be better than Bart versus the Space Mutants? Can Spider Pig swing from a web? No he can’t. He’s a pig.

Johnny and Trevor are Tim-less today as they review the original Wave Race for Gameboy, 1992 Nintendo. Will they be able to get their fat, miserable bodies into their wetsuits and hop on these jet skis? Or will they just wade in the water waiting for the assured comfort of death via exposure or drowning? Tune in to find out!

Trevor and Johnny review the groundbreaking N64 racing game, Wave Race. Will the unprecedented water physics hold up today, or leave the guys feeling soaking wet with shame? Oh wait, that's just a normal Tuesday.

Simpson’s month begins with The Simpsons: Bart vs. the Space Mutants, the first NES Simpson’s game. Not gonna lie, this one is rough. The episode or the game? Listen to find out. Spoiler: it’s both.

Welcome to Pocket Review, from the guys that brought you Retro Blissed! Not your momma’s Donkey Kong, Donkey Kong for the Gameboy is perhaps the most humbly titled game on the handheld, offering far more than most would expect. In many ways, you could say it’s the exact opposite of Retro Blissed.
