Bucky O' Hare

This week the Dudes sit down to talk some Bucky O'Hare. Made from the slightly darker comic book series and early 90's television show, Konami released this NES classic that came to be popular due to it's many levels and Mega Man-esque fun.

The Dudes discuss their favorite planets, characters and bosses from this classic and currently valuable NES game.

The Dudes as usual go on to discuss several tangents including nomenclature for male and female rabbits, type of rabbits and how the name Bucky O'Hare relates.

If you are a fan of the short lived early 90's television show or only came across this character through the classic NES game you will enjoy this week's edition of 2 Dudes and a NES.

Maniac Mansion

Certainly one of the more bizarre and beloved games the Dudes have discussed, is this 1987 Lucasfilms Games classic. Maniac Mansion was ported to the NES in 1990 with a few infamous changes.

The Dudes dive into the history of this game including the changes Nintendo forced upon the designers in order to get the game published (and one that made it through at first).

This game infuses comedy and B grade horror film themes in the game that the Dudes certainly appreciate and sure the listeners do as well.

While the game had an almost cult like following, not unlike a possible B grade horror inspiration to this game, Rocky Horror Picture Show, the game holds a place in the hearts of many retro gamers.

Happy Listening

Bad Dudes

Are the Dudes bad enough Dudes to talk about a game featuring a couple of Bad Dudes? You Bet!!

This week the Dudes talk about the quintessential 80's game Bad Dudes. And they promise to not make too many burger references.

While the game Bad Dudes may not win an awards for being one of the best games of all time, it holds a special place in the hearts of those remember the glory days of the 80's. Really there is nothing more 80's than a couple bad dudes in sleeveless shirts kicking some ninja tail to save the President of the United States. Plus, who wouldnt answer this call of duty?! Certainly not a couple of bad dudes.

The NES Dudes really had a great time discussing Bad Dudes. We hope you will as well.

Short Order / Eggsplode

The Dudes not only talk about TWO games this week but also throw in an accessory as well. Well, the game was technically two games in one cart but hey it's all the same, right?

The Power Pad is quite possibly the most under utilized accessory for the NES. While the premise of the Power Pad was awesome and worked great there were not a lot of games that were developed for it. The Dudes discuss this justice to the much cooler Grandfather to the Dance Dance Revolution pad.

One of the few games that was developed for the Power Pad was the combo arcade style games from the only company to develop such a game outside of Bandai, Tose (Not Toast). This game was a lot of fun and served as a great party game.

This was a fun play and talk for the Dudes and we hope you enjoy it as well.
