8bitX Podcast Up!

"Know your enemy and know yourself and you can fight a hundred battles without disaster." Sun Tzu


Bosses & Enemies Hour 1 & 2 is now updated on the 8bit Extravaganza Podcast
Check us out on Itunes & give us a review: 8bitX on Itunes

This episode was a blast to do, and you really come to understand how much thought is put into these games. Many times we go through games such as Super Mario Bros and Contra not really digging in deeper and appreciating all the fine details.

That is why this series of shows really appeals to me. We know so much about the heroes of the day, and the mission you are on to try and save the Princess, or the world, but how often do we truly come to understand our common enemies?

Episode Breakdown of each hour available here

Summary: Super Mario Bros & Contra were covered, tons of music from both!
Features: Creepy Craigslist and Steel Sterling



2 hours of non-stop mayhem don't miss the 8bit Extravaganza each and every Wednesday Night @9PM!!
