Video Games · Adam Blank
by Adam Blank
Comedian Adam Blank hosts "Remember The Game?", a retro gaming podcast. Each week, Adam and his guest will select a video game that they grew up playing, and spend time reminiscing about what they loved (or hated) about it. Not intended to be a history lesson, "Remember The Game?" is more like a conversation you'd overhear on the playground as a kid. The discussions are all over the place, and are guaranteed to fill you with that warm, nostalgic feeling. (Or rage, like you felt with the underwater level in the original Ninja Turtles game). Either way, it's gonna be fun! New episodes every Wednesday!

The host is really funny, and the show doesn’t take itself too seriously. Fun to listen to guys discuss retro gaming in a fun way, not a gate-keeping history lesson from a virgin. Patreon is also a great deal, highly recommend.
I found this pod about a week ago, listening to newer and older episodes. It’s refreshing to hear people talk about how it felt playing a specific game back in the day, while also recognizing its flaws in a more modern setting. However, if you’re a Leonardo fan (nobody respects the superpower of logistics), or a fan of the Wii (Wii sports resort ping pong is a masterpiece)—you’re gonna take some shots.
A great podcast that has given me a new appreciation for old games. I especially love the revisited episodes as he covered a lot of the more popular games I love in the earliest episodes. Keep up the great work!
Great show. Fun segments, and great variety of game genres. Thanks for kicking up old games, often forgotten.
This show used to be awesome - enjoyable to listen to, funny, and a great way to relive fond memories of your youth. Plenty of video game podcasts are cringeworthy in how nerdy or bad they are - this felt like listening to your buddy from childhood talk about gaming. As the show has grown in popularity it’s lost that touch - and it has nothing to do with Adam running out of childhood memories and experiencing old games for the first time. Instead, Adam has become the very thing he swore he wouldn’t be - supported by ads and only focused on patreon supporters. It’s ironic listening to him in episode 50 say there would never he ads - now there are an annoying amount. He also used to regularly engage with his audience through letters and comments. Now, if you aren’t paying him money through patreon, you don’t exist - if you try to send an email or a comment, even a supportive one, you’ll be ignored. Paying customers only please! It’s totally fine to make money off your creative endeavors. But don’t be inauthentic and act like a man of the people when you only care about people sending you money…you’ve become a corporate/professional podcaster. At least own it.
Do you remember the dumbest kid in your schoolyard that complained the game “cheated” all the time? Do you have a strange nostalgia for them? Then do I have a podcast for you! Sit back and enjoy the boring, rambling 30+ minute intro that features actual clock watching (“ok that’s 25 minutes, probably enough”). The intro does provide an important service: Adam repeatedly reminding you he’s a comedian, because you sure wouldn’t know it from the rest of the episode. There’s literally one joke, repeated nearly every episode “this is a show about underrated gems that are new to our audience <beat> like Mario 64!!!11!!” Of the 25ish episodes I listened to, there were several comfy ones that I enjoyed. Adam sometimes has good chemistry with his guests. I also have to applaud that he knows what his podcast is trying to be - no research, no insight, just two guys (and it’s always guys) talking a game. I think if you really miss that specific type of hang from your 1980s childhood, this can be a good “background listen”. But I can’t put it in the top 80% of game podcasts. By quality it deserves 1 star, but for many people I can see it as a solid 3.
