Well....this episode is gonna be a little different. Not a retro game, and not a game you can play today, but I felt it needs to be said. Here are my thoughts on when a company decides its game didn't make enough money so they are going to take it away from everyone.

It's time to finish up our time with the Lunar duology as I finally play and complete the second of the two classic Lunar titles (there are others but the first two are considered by most to be the good ones). And joining me is Chris (double Chris attack this episode!) from Retro Hangover as we discuss our thoughts on the different versions of this game we experienced, myself from the newest release and Chris from the classic Sega CD version.Be sure to check out more of our guests work at Retro Hangover!Check out the Afterglow linktree which has discord, patreon, and merch links as well as links to friends of the show at ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://linktr.ee/Leathco⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Show Logo and Artwork from TobyVonDoom from ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Secret Levels⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.Intro and outro music by: Grim from ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠The Lost and Gone⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ podcast and ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Grim Glow⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.

It's time to get some BIG PRIZES like a VCR, a vintage 1999 Roadster, or a brand new toaster! All you gotta do is risk your life in Smash TV! Myself and guest OCD In Every RPG (Slaje) take on our thoughts on the hit arcade game and its ports across multiple consoles while also talking about the launch of his new book titled PVE: Player Vs Everything.

An early arcade game that got a close to perfect NES port, Spy Hunter was a fun high score challenge that is mostly forgotten about these days but the first NES game (along with the sequel) were some great fun!

Mega Man returns to Afterglow in this episode with one of the controversial releases......do I follow with what many people claim is a sub-par release or do I have other thoughts on this game? Without spoiling it, I will say I played this game much later than a lot of others which may have tempered my opinions on it.Check out the Afterglow linktree which has discord, patreon, and merch links as well as links to friends of the show at ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://linktr.ee/Leathco⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Show Logo and Artwork from TobyVonDoom from ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Secret Levels⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.Intro and outro music by: Grim from ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠The Lost and Gone⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ podcast and ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Grim Glow⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.

It's been a bit of a wait for this episode, I've been quite busy with some family and work related stuff and have had to put the show in slowdown for a bit. I've got a few partial episodes ready but nothing fully done, but I wanted everyone to have something to listen to in the meanwhile so I figured it was the perfect time to do another bonus episode, this one on my history with retro emulation handhelds! I cover the ones I've had in my past (which is quite the list looking back on it!) along with me looking forward to the new one I have pre-ordered.Check out the Afterglow linktree which has discord, patreon, and merch links as well as links to friends of the show at ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://linktr.ee/Leathco⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Show Logo and Artwork from TobyVonDoom from ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Secret Levels⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.Intro and outro music by: Grim from ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠The Lost and Gone⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ podcast and ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Grim Glow⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.

Something even newer than the last episode? I thought this was a retro show! In my defense the original version that spawned the Rebirth game came out back in 2011, 15 years ago, so I think this sorta qualifies (even if it can still be picked up brand new to this day!). Next episode we go old school, but myself and guest Wolfman both love this retro inspired game and wanted to chat about it some. Maybe you love it too, maybe you've never heard of it, but either way I hope you enjoy the show!Check out the Afterglow linktree which has discord, patreon, and merch links as well as links to friends of the show at ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://linktr.ee/Leathco⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Show Logo and Artwork from TobyVonDoom from ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Secret Levels⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.Intro and outro music by: Grim from ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠The Lost and Gone⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ podcast and ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Grim Glow⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.

Something old.....something new! New for this show at least lol, cause on this episode I am joined by Main Quest host Keith Gasper as we talk about Need For Speed Most Wanted. It's rare that a racing game gets its hooks in me, but this one did back when the 360 was new.
