Decent ep. all around. I only skipped the reviews segment this time. PlayStation retrospect couldve been longer.

BTW I think that toy company mentioned in the handheld games segment is TOMY: "TOW'-mee", not "tommy".

I've no doubt your right.
The least of my mistakes I am sure, I am still kicking myself for referring to L.E.D. as "LEAD" but I tend to be literal when reading off things and I didn't notice until later, no biggy as I am sure those interested get what I actually meant and I could not bother to record it over.

Great Xybots feature this time around!! One of my arcade favorites!

I remember playing Xybots with a friend(real machine) at a retro gaming party. We got to the very end and couldn't get past the end-game boss. Didn't like the fact you got pushed back about 3 levels. We gave up shortly after that.
