| 01 Jul 2023 | Episode 13 - Twisted Metal 2 | 00:13:49 | |
A dead franchise these days, Twisted Metal used to be one of the premier game series for the Playstation. In my opinion, the second outing was the best of the series, with tight gameplay and a wild story for each driver. Listen in to my memories of my favorite game of the franchise.

SPOCKTOBER! Did you really think it wasn't coming back? In this episode, I cover one of my favorite Trek PC games in Star Trek Klingon Academy. For a chunk of this episode I am recovering from a cold, so I may not sound the greatest but I still wanted to cover a Trek title in October!

| 21 Nov 2022 | Episode 0 - Show introduction and concept | 00:03:51 | |
Welcome to Afterglow! This show aims to look at my personal game memories on a per-title basis. This is a new idea for me after listening to many podcasts and finding that most go over the game details while glossing over peoples personal experience with that game. So this show aims to look at my history with certain games, and perhaps if it grows to something larger listeners memories as well. Check out friends of the show!

| 24 Feb 2024 | Episode 50 - Final Fantasy 4 | 00:21:53 | |
I know the thumbnail has a 2 in it, but the game for this episode is actually Final Fantasy 4! I explain why in the intro if you don't already know the chaos in the numbering of early Final Fantasy games. Also, this is episode 50! Thanks for joining me in discussing my memories of 50 games, and I hope you enjoy the next 50!

| 03 Dec 2022 | Episode 4 - Castlevania Symphony of the Night | 00:15:37 | |
Castlevania was a series I mostly enjoyed on the NES outside of a single GBA game, but years ago a friend introduced me to the Playstation release of Symphony of the Night and I became attached. Here's the story behind my experience with SotN. Join our Discord at https://discord.gg/nN4Zkk7 Check out friends of the show!

| 01 Jan 2025 | Episode 93 - Quake 3 Arena | 00:21:22 | |
I don't cover as many retro PC games as I do console games but I love sprinkling them in as I am more of a PC guy now, and in the end of the 90s no PC game was as anticipated as Quake 3. I share my thoughts on being an early PC gamer thrust into the arena FPS game style.

| 09 Apr 2024 | Episode 57 - Sim City | 00:15:19 | |
Growing up I didn't play very many simulation types of games at all, but a few caught my eye and I became a huge fan of those select games. This weeks episode I talk about one of the biggest early console sims with Sim City on the SNES.

| 05 Dec 2023 | Episode 37 - Super Mario World 2: Yoshis Island | 00:14:40 | |
Continuing our Christmas adventure is a popular game, but one that took me some time to appreciate.

| 09 Dec 2024 | Episode 91 - T2: The Arcade Game | 00:21:57 | |
This episode covers a light gun game, a genre that has fallen in recent years but I think these games are a blast to play. And few nail the setting as well as T2 does, even though the game is crazy difficult. I talk about my experiences with the arcade game as well as the SNES port in this episode, and how I had to more or less cheat to beat it.

| 13 Jul 2024 | Episode 70 - Captain Skyhawk | 00:14:58 | |
Going back to the normal show for a bit, and we also cover another NES game with Captain Skyhawk, a Rare game before they became known for hits such as Battletoads and Donkey Kong Country. This game is often not talked about but I think it's a unique shooter for the NES.

| 30 Sep 2024 | Episode 81 - Faceball 2000 | 00:18:35 | |
"Have a nice day!" Faceball 2000 was one of the first, if not the first, FPS I played. I rented it quite a few times and while it wasn't at the top of my SNES fave games, it holds a nostalgic spot thanks to being that first FPS as well as its unique presentation.

| 07 Feb 2025 | Episode 96 - StarTropics | 00:20:44 | |
Sometimes your memories of a game are different from what your modern take can be. This is the position I find myself in when I replay StarTropics, a game I have great childhood memories of but I just don't enjoy as much as an adult.

On this episode we go back to a classic cartoon that had a great showing on the NES with Chip n Dale Rescue Rangers, one of a string of Capcom and Disney team up games!

| 01 Mar 2025 | Episode 98 - WWF In Your House | 00:24:54 | |
It's time for Steiner Math March! Last year in March we did a special wrestling month called Big Meaty Men Slappin' Meat in March, and I wanted to do it again this year, but this time featuring wrestling games I perhaps wasn't so hot on; wrestling games I didn't care much for. Kicking this month off will be the WWF In Your House for PS1 (as well as Saturn), a game I had high hopes for but ended up.....well......listen to hear all the details!

| 21 Jan 2024 | Episode 44 - Magic the Gathering: Duels of the Planeswalkers | 00:17:59 | |
Magic the Gathering has been around for decades and has a deep history not only for it's cards, but for its games as well. Sadly, a large chunk of their history has been erased by Wizards and Hasbro, a history I want to try to keep alive with this episode on Duels of the Planeswalkers.

| 20 Sep 2023 | Episode 25 - Donkey Kong Country | 00:16:30 | |
Donkey Kong Country is often considered the last heavy hitter of the Super Nintendo and a graphical tour de force for the console as well.

It's episode 69, nice! This episode won't be following the normal format, as my memories of this game are all from the early 2000's when I did a playthough of a burned copy of it and uploaded it to YouTube, which was my first experience with this game. (which you can watch here if you really want to). So this time I'm doing another playthrough of it where you can listen in, and this time I make every "correct" choice for the main story.

This episode was quickly recorded before I left for the holidays, but I wanted to give you guys something to listen to this week, and thought Gremlins 2 was a great choice for a game that reminded me of the holidays as well as being a fun game to play today as well as back in my childhood.

Let's see how this goes: I am covering a newer game AND it's a mobile game.......but hear me out. This game is 14 years old and the gameplay as well as the graphics hold up to this day; it looks like it could have came out this year but is also a blast to play. Hopefully you'll give this a chance as I cover the first mobile game on the show.

| 05 Jan 2023 | Episode 7 - Mechwarrior | 00:15:27 | |
In the first six episodes I've discussed a lot of games most people would consider mainstream. I also want to cover some games that perhaps aren't remembered by everyone. So in this episode I discuss my memories of Mechwarrior for the Super Nintendo. Join our Discord at https://discord.gg/nN4Zkk7 Check out friends of the show!

Just a quick caveat - there was an issue while recording this episode and occasionally there's a burst of static. I was recording with Bandicam and can't figure out how to fix the problem so I'll be changing my recording software for future episodes. That being said, Keaton joins us in this episode as we talk about our memories and the legacy of Super Mario Bros. 2. Its a classic to most everyone, although myself and Keaton have slightly differing opinions that you can check out on this episode.

Mega Man returns to Afterglow in this episode! It's been too long since I covered a Mega Man title, so here's the second game in the X series, which was the last one I got to play on it since I never got X3 or found it in a rental store.

It's episode 64 of Afterglow, and nothing would be more fitting than covering Super Mario 64!

| 18 Dec 2024 | Episode 92 - Super Mario Land | 00:19:24 | |
On this episode we are going back to the Game Boy with a launch title not talked about as much as Tetris but just as impressive to see on the black and white (or green and black) handheld with Super Mario Land. I forgot to mention in this episode there is a DX release of this game (which was a remake done in color for the Game Boy Color) that I never got to play but looks really good from what I have seen on YouTube of it.

| 13 May 2024 | Episode 62 - BaseWars | 00:14:41 | |
Normally I don't play a lot of sports titles, but some catch my eye from time to time. An early one was BaseWars on the NES. I mostly bought it for the great price of 50 cents at a yard sale but once I tried it I was shocked at how good it was. Join in with me on my thoughts in this episode.

| 01 Dec 2024 | Episode 90 - Mechanized Attack | 00:22:07 | |
Lets talk about a game that hasn't had anyone talk about it in years, a shooter called Mechanized Attack from SNK. I find a lot of the pre - Neo Geo SNK games interesting and this one is no exception. Is it just an Operation Wolf clone or does it have more to offer?

| 31 Mar 2025 | Episode 101 - Celebrity Deathmatch | 00:19:17 | |
Lets close out Steiner Math March with a game based on a great show.....but the game was a huge disappointment to me. I read the reviews as a young adult but wanted to give it a chance.

Teenage Mutant Nin-June Turtles: Secret of the Reviews continues with the man that came up with that moniker, Supes! We go over our memories and thoughts on the gameplay of the SNES version of this fighter to see if it holds up today and how we enjoyed it when we were younger.

| 06 Feb 2023 | Episode 9 - Robocop | 00:15:49 | |
This game gets a ton of hate in the online reviewing community. That being said, you won't hear that from me in this episode. This is a unique game that fits the lore of the character that I enjoy quite a bit. Have a listen if you'd like a unique take on this NES game.

| 25 Nov 2024 | Episode 89 - Sonic and Knuckles | 00:26:36 | |
It's been a bit since I've covered a Sega Genesis game, and I wanted to do so with this episode. As of this recording the Sonic 3 movie is about to release so I wanted to cover another Sonic game with Sonic and Knuckles. In this episode I talk about how I experienced the Sonic 3 and Knuckles combo a bit out of order and why I'll be splitting them up and cover Sonic 3 at a later date, focusing on my experiences with Sonic and Knuckles.

| 08 Jan 2023 | Episode 8 - Air Combat | 00:13:39 | |
This time on Afterglow I'm looking at one of my favorite early titles for the Playstation, a game that took concepts from the jet fighter titles on the NES and amplified it tenfold in Air Combat.

The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles were everywhere in the 80's, and I was a super fan of everything from the games to the cartoon to the comics to the action figures.

| 16 Dec 2022 | Episode 5 - Halo 2 | 00:15:24 | |
Going from old-school retro to something a bit newer, but something I'd still call Retro these days - a title from the original X-Box. Not just any title though....this is probably my favorite game from that console, a game I spent a lot of time with discovering online console play with Halo 2.

Gaming with friends is always more fun. This episode is a little shorter because most of my memories are from just a couple play sessions with a friend of mine, but those two moments were a blast so I wanted to share them with you in this episode.

| 27 Mar 2024 | Episode 55 - WCW Nitro | 00:25:37 | |
Big Meaty Men Slappin' Meat In March comes to a close with WCW Nitro! Nitro was one of those games that might have been a bad wrestling game, but strangely was also fun to play. You can tell the developers had a blast making the game. It's kinda like eating frosting with no cake if I had to describe it. I hope you enjoy this episode as we close out another special month of Afterglow!

| 22 Jul 2024 | Episode 71 - Kirby Super Star | 00:15:49 | |
Kirby is one of Nintendos biggest IPs, but I discovered him a little late with his biggest SNES game, which is actually a collection of Kirby titles that I feel is the pinnacle of what the pink puffball put out in games.

| 09 Jul 2023 | Episode 14 - Abadox | 00:16:23 | |
I didn't get to experience a lot of shooters on the NES, but this one stood out in a way none others did, and to this day I have fond memories of this game. It's easily one of my favorite NES games, and one not talked about much anymore. Join our Discord at https://discord.gg/nN4Zkk7 Check out friends of the show!

| 24 Mar 2024 | Episode 54 - WWF Raw | 00:17:29 | |
Big Meaty Men Slappin' Meat in March continues! This is the first game I thought of when I decided to dedicate March of this year to wrestling games. I spent so much time renting this game on both the Genesis and SNES, but always wanted to try the 32X version. It took over 15 years but in my 20's I got my hands on a copy, and it was mostly everything I hoped.

It's time to look at the team up before I look at the games they came from with Battletoads and Double Dragon - The UItimate Team! This came out shortly after the heavy hitter beat em ups, but is a fun game in its on right. Join in with me as I talk about my memories of this wacky team up!

Big Meaty Men Slappin' Meat in March........marches on! In this episode I cover one of my early Playstation 1 games that I kept coming back to even when I got other wrestling games for the system.
