  • Crazy Taxi - Cocktail Mode: Retro games, Cocktails and Banter - S01E21
    Oct 29 2024

    Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah! If it's good enough for Tim Waltz, if good enough for us...

    We're showing our love to one of the Dreamcast's most iconic games this time out on Cocktail Mode: Crazy Taxi reminds us what it was like before the PlayStation and Xbox turned everything brown and grimy!

    We'll talk punk, we'll talk sequels, we'll talk law suits, and we'll talk S-Club 7... yes, really!

  • Tomb Raider - Cocktail Mode: Retro Games, Cocktails and Banter - S01E20
    Oct 15 2024

    The greatest videogame ever made? The greatest marketing machine that ever existed? The greatest piece of fortuitous episode timing ever?

    As the new TV series lands, the remastered original trilogy flies high in the charts, and the conversation about 'what's next' gets ever more prevalent - it couldn't be a better time for Andy and Dave to weigh in on what they think of Lara Croft and her various exploits over the decades... and then try to pick a cocktail that goes well with the episodes topic.

    Oct 1 2024

    Welcome to the party, pal, where the drinks are great and the games are... err... you'll have to listen to find out.

    Dave and Andy wander off topic (as usual) in this episode and end up discussing every Die Hard videogame ever made and spend no small amount of time chatting about the films too.

  • Batman The Movie (The Game) - Cocktail Mode: Retro Games, Cocktails and Banter - S01E18
    Sep 17 2024

    Some say "He can't be killed", some say "He drinks blood", I say: This is our longest episode yet so strap for a wild ride back to the eighties when films were great, games were great, and Jim Carrey (thankfully) wasn't famous yet!

  • R-Type - Cocktail Mode: Retro Games, Cocktails and Banter - S01E17
    Sep 3 2024

    The seminal Irem shooter R-Type is the seed to start this episodes conversation about all things H-Shmup - from Gradius to Einhander, Defender to Delta - all bases are covered but they are sadly not 'belong to us', as we complete neglect to mention 'Zero Wing' in all it's meme-y glory. Nevermind, eh? For a bonus point, see if you can spot the moment Andy complete ignores Dave's Star Wars pun!

  • Football Champ (AKA Hat Trick Hero) - Cocktail Mode: Retro games, Cocktails & Banter - S01E15
    Aug 6 2024

    You may not know of Football Champ (AKA Hat Trick Hero) but rest assured we spend plenty of time talking about FIFA, ISS, Sensible Soccer, and just about every other football game of the previous century - and a couple from this - before eventually choosing two drinks to accompany Taito's bonkers arcade soccer game.
