1994 Part 2 -- Wolfenstein, Spider, Super Metroid

Monday, August 31st, 2009 – running time 31:12

To know the future you must know the past and we prove it this week by delving into a classic. We keep it current thanks to some Nazi-Zombie killing and insect-adventure on the iPhone.

Yes, it is 1994 all over again thanks to JayFresh missing out on the Metroid classics the first time around. Such outrages will not stand! It was a good opportunity to bring back a classic and give it the full, CO-OP treatment. Would you want to see us cover more classic games like this, or should we just think of this as a one-off? Your feedback matters!

Wolfenstein: A Classic Reborn

Remakes of classic franchises are all the rage these days, and Wolfenstein is certainly the latest of these. Fortunately it's taken some cues from modern game design and proves to be able to stand proudly amongst its competition. BitMob's Dan Hsu, Arthur Gies from RebelFM & Eat. Sleep. Game. and 1UP's Justin Haywald talk it over with JayFresh.

Spider: Innovative Platforming on the iPhone

The iPhone continues to deliver evolutions in game design that are surprising and Spider is no exception. Ryan, Jason, and Cesar are all suitably impressed by the game's structure and unique approach to narrative.

Super Metroid: A Retro Review

Our recent coverage of Shadow Complex struck some extremely nostalgic chords here at Area 5 and when we found out that JayFresh's gaming education lacked a certain, related, classic franchise we knew it was time to bring back the past and present it as fresh! No pun intended. Also from 1UP and her own, classic-gaming blog Dusty Pixels, Jade Kraus pops in to talk with Dan Hsu, Justin Haywald, Ryan, and Fresh about just what a momentous occasion it was to experience Super Metroid for the first time!
