"2 Dudes and a NES" is the latest podcast to hit the streets. It's neon green, lethal, and dropping its listeners like flies.

You're Vice officer Quinn Hart, a no-non-sense sledgehammer of a brother. You pack a vicious .44, crushing grenades, and a lightning fast laser whip that gives you an edge over anything on two feet. Your mission: take down the big boss of this operation.

It ain't easy... you've got an army of assassins (Ryan and Robbie) just waiting to take you for a ride - a LONG ride. You'll battle in dark alleyways of Chinatown, on the highways, and through steamy jungles. Ultimately, you'll have to seek and destroy the vender of the green elixir!

You are Marty McFly, just a typical brother listening to the 2 Dudes and a NES podcast. But after getting behind the wheel of a nuclear-powered sports car turned time machine, you find yourself in the year 1955 where you accidentally tampered with history. Now it must be corrected. You must somehow make sure that Brother Stew falls in love with the NES before the 2 Dudes and a NES podcast fades away and you're left with nothing to listen to.

It won't be easy. You'll have to protect Stew from Nick Stephens and Aaron Hickman of the Genesis Gems podcast while doing your best to keep them from beating you up instead. To complicate things, Aaron has a crush on you, so you'll have to dodge his advances while trying to figure out a way to get Nick to call in about his top 10 games of all time. Time is wasting and even if you manage to put all of the pieces in place, there is still no guarantee that you'll ever get back. It will all come down to one brief moment in time when the past, present, and future all meet.

The arcade megahit comes to the NES and the 2 Dudes and a NES podcast! Michael and Justin experience all the genuine arcade action, including the original digitized sound and spellbinding graphics. And Brother Aiden experiences every one of the over 100 arcade mazes complete with all the sorcerous secret rooms, traps, monster generators, transporters, force fields, and villains - it's all straight from the arcades, and it's all here.

And like the arcade game, up to four Brothers can join the Dudes in action at any time with Nintendo NES Satellite Transmitter or Four Score. This Gauntlet you won't want to lay down!

No one noticed when they launched. And now it might be too late to stop them! In remote corners of the globe, Genesis Gem invaders are draining Earth's energy and "feeding" it to their space station. When the power drain is complete, the Genesis Gems plan to vaporize 2 Dudes and a NES with a deadly laser blast.

You, dear listener, are Captain Skyhawk - the only person who can stop them!

Climb aboard your hi-tech F-14VTS jet - fully equipped with the latest in deadly weapons! A unique spy satellite viewer lets you see your entire plane as you battle the Genesis Gems forces over amazing gridscape graphics! Whether you're soaring over the mountains at Mach 3 with Justin, or floating in hover mode with Michael, your F-14VTS will measure up to any challenge!

When you run out of firepower, just rocket up to your space station and Michael's Wifey will load you up with Phoenix missiles, Hawk bombs, and more!

The final challenge is still to come! You must destroy the dreaded Genesis Gems podcast. Fire up your afterburners, Brother! It's time to fry some Gems!

Modern warfare is no match for the fierce realism of Steven Michael and Aaron. Aye, matey! That's why plundering and pillaging are back in style, as you command the role of a high seas high-jacker. Either an English Buccaneer (Michael), Dutch Adventurer (Justin), Spanish Renegade (Aaron), or French Explorer (Steven Michael), each with a different skill level and strategic impact.

As a swashbuckling Bit Brother, you'll barter with Aaron, trade for hidden treasure maps, negotiate with an unscrupulous Steven Michael and forge alliances with Justin who'd just as soon stab you in the back than float you a loan for new ships. But that's only half the battle! You'll also assault other game systems (Sega Genesis), sword fight with Michael, lay siege to CRT TVs, and fire your cannons broadside at an armada of rival podcasts.

Arrrg, me swabby! Don't think it's all fun and destruction. Because if your bloodthirsty crew isn't kept happy boarding and burning enemy vessels, or if your navigation skills leave them shipwrecked on a jagged Caribbean reef, they won't think twice about using you for shark bait. Fortunately, if events do take a nasty turn, you can save the statistical loot you've captured and return with a vengeance on another day.

So keep your eye (the one that doesn't have a patch over it!) on your ultimate objectives - power, fame, prestige, gold, land, and the hand of a beautiful maiden - and you'll find the sailing smooth and your "red beard" scraggly!

Michael and Justin are filling in at the Cookie Factory, and they need your help! Fresh baked cookies roll out of the ovens. It's up to Michael to sort and stack 'em before they pile too high!

Line up a row of the same kind of cookies either vertically or horizontally, and they vanish! Clear the screen to move on to a new level of cookie chaos. Matt Raithel of Graphite Labs appears from time to time to stir things up. Play for high score, or head-to-head against a fellow Bit Brother. The mouth-watering madness doesn't let up!

And be sure to keep some cookies close by, 'cause you'll get the munchies during this lip-smacking good time!

Justin is ready for mind-blowing action... Michael is prepared to test himself against the most fearsome forces of evil... Power Trip Gaming... It's time to enter the world of FARIA!

The Dudes slash their way through a relentless onslaught of bloodthirsty Power Trip Gaming Bros! Challenge a cruel and cunning Andy with their magic and their wits!

Paul has been kidnapped by a fiendishly powerful Andy for his bride. The Bit Brothers and Dudes are all powerless to rescue him... And now Justin and Michael have come from a distant land to answer the call for help!

FARIA is action-adventuring fun for the entire Bit Brothers community, featuring:

• Feverish battle against every monster ever imagined!
• Challenging gameplay for even the most experineced brother!
• Over 70 different items to acquire, from powerful weapons to spectacular magical powers!
• Adventurer's Guide included!

Where life, love and money all depend on how well you play the game.

Justin can make billions of dollars when he deals with the giants of Wall Street, the Bit Brothers community. Not only does Justin take risks by playing the stock market and buying up GameStop stonk, but he must prove that he can uphold a high standard of living.

Michael dreams of fame and fortune and this Life Simulation game is his way to the top. He can taste the victory of success, but only if he is strong enough to face the challenge of life, and buys up all the GameStop stonk.

Now, are you ready to deal? YOLO, buy some tendies.

Michael just found out that Justin was kidnapped by Brother Tyler and taken to Adventure Island in the South Pacific.

Michael lands on Adventure Island without weapons or food. The island is thick with tropical forest, mountains, and caves. Hidden on the island are his skateboard, axe, food, and other helpful tools you must find by exploring the island.

Michael better find the weapons and food quickly because he will need them to fight Brother Tyler's spiders, snakes, bats, and demons. Brother Tyler has set lots of traps for Michael before he can face him one on one. Is Michael up for the challenge?! Can he live through Adventure Island to save Justin?!

This episode is about Little League Baseball for the Nintendo Entertainment System.

Here it is. We discuss arguably the greatest sports game of all time thanks to a Patreon Pick from Tyler! We don't want to hear it if we didn't discuss it to your liking, we pulled out all stops on this one: two hours long, Namo Gamo on as guests, the word poop on at least four occasions, throwback to #SweetFeed. This episode is a winner.

Be sure to check out Namo Gamo's game Basketball Classics on Steam. It truly is what Tecmo Super Bowl would be if it was a basketball game.

The dudes are joined by JZNES on this classic style episode: only about 10 minutes of tangents at the start, a quiz game, plenty of game talk. So you guys are in for a real treat with this one.

If you want to hear more from JZNES, be sure and check out his YouTube channel here:

Ain't no klowning around on this episode. Ah, who are we kidding? Skip 25 minutes in again if you want to get to game talk, but you'll miss out on a great "Ask Justin" segment.

Another episode, another round of non-game talk. Skip to around 25  minutes if you want pure game talk, but there is a lot of good Michael  and Justin nostalgia at the beginning if you're in the mood.

The Dudes discuss their first Japanese exclusive game! That is if you can get past the COVID-19 talk. Seriously, just skip to about 20 minutes into the podcast and ignore all that virus talk at the beginning.

What would a game named after the Dio album Holy Diver be like? Well for starters, it's Japanese only. For other crazy information and game discussion about this very "metal" game, tune in!

The Dudes are back baby! It's been a long 6 months, but hopefully it was all worth the wait as Justin and Michael sit down to talk about Brother Andrew's Patreon Pick... Solomon's Key!

What late night snack will the Dudes rate this game? Tune in to find out!

Lots of tangent run alongside the game talk in this Patreon Pick about the somewhat rare NES game Widget. Tune in if you enjoy any of the following:

Justin and Michael sit down for an episode about Dr. Mario! Dr. Mario is this month's Retro Gaming Monthly high score challenge. Be sure to head over to their Facebook group and participate.
