Boy, I just love people watching a 5 year old video and offering me life advice on how to do MY channel. Like I haven't produced over 200 videos since then, and the channel hasn't changed in any way over that time.

(It hasn't, but still).

And for the throwback video of the week, we look at the first time I reviewed a Brazilian title on the channel!

And last week, in case you missed it, it's the Sega Master System classic, Alex Kidd in Miracle World. There's a lot of fun to be had here, if you don't mind practicing a bit.

This week on zilogandmoto.com, this episode served as an excuse to watch Bloodsport on Thanksgiving. I didn't really need an excuse, but still...

And last week, in case you missed it, I took a nice, leisurely stroll through some European countryside...just don't mind the flying golf clubs and the cursing.

This week on zilogandmoto.com, Episode #309. Alex Kidd in Miracle World was supposed to be Sega's answer to Super Mario Brothers. I think we all know how that worked out, but is still a good title?

Next week on zilogandmoto.com, Episode #309. For some reason, it took me going through a quarter of the library before I finally got around to Sega's first mascot. Which probably says a lot more about how Sonic changed the landscape than anything else.

No. There's no middle ground. If your game/movie/album uses AI, I won't play/watch/listen to it. It's that fucking simple.
"Surely there's a middle ground here?" The CEO of Helldivers 2 studio Arrowhead says people "jump to extreme takes" when debating generative AI, and that there needs to be more nuance in the discussion.

And finally, for the throwback review of the week, it's time to take a look at the game that, in a perfect world, everyone would know instead of Hudson's Adventure Island.

And in case you missed last week's review, I took a look at the final game to use the engine that debuted two years before in WWF Super Wrestlemania. Is WWF RAW finally the full package of everything that came before?

This week on Zilog and Moto, it's time to take a nice, leisurely stroll through the European countryside. Don't mind that guy cursing and throwing his golf clubs, I'm sure he's having a lovely day, regardless. (That guy is me).

Bonus throwback video this week! Thanks go to Shadowinthevoid on Youtube for this. For the longest time, when looking at the channel stats, this has by far been the least popular video on the channel. Turns out, it's my fault, as it was never added to playlists!

And finally, for the throwback review of the week, here's a game that I wanted to love, because it's fantastic in almost every aspect, except for aiming...which is kind of important in a game that requires precise targeting.

And last week, in case you missed it, I reviewed the last game in the R.B.I. Baseball series to be released for the Genesis. It's an improvement from the previous game, but does it do enough?

This week on Zilog and Moto, with widespread reports about the current WWE product faltering on numerous fronts, let's instead look back at a game that goes back to the very beginning of the RAW era, and see the birth of four player console wrestling action?

Note to self: if you turn off stability and traction control off in Forza to work on drifting, make sure to turn them BACK ON when you pick the game up again a month later.

And finally, for the throwback review of the week, here's me reviewing a game based on my favorite WWE Event of the year, and probably the only time these days I'll watch (cue the AEW haters in the comments below).

Congratulations to the Los Angeles Dodgers for winning the 2025 World Series. Unless, you hate the Dodgers, which is completely understandable as baseball desperately needs a salary cap. Regardless, here's a baseball game for you, R.B.I. Baseball '94.

I hate to be negative, but Michael Grady and Brent Barry should be calling Gonzaga-Oregon, not Grizzlies/Lakers. What a snorefest.
