“ONE PLAYER ONLY” In the third of our current run of Castlevania series podcasts, we arrive at the 1988 arcade game, Haunted Castle. Although the title began its development as an unrelated action horror game, Konami saw the potential of cashing in on the success of the Famicom and MSX series, and so released it as Akumaj? Dracula. Leon, Michiel, Tony, returning guest (and Haunted Castle tatsujin) Ben Cartlidge reflect upon this widely derided work, as well as looking in depth at the varied experiences offered by the various ROM sets. http://media.blubrry.com/caneandrinse/caneandrinse.com/podcast/cane_and_rinse_issue_509.mp3   Music featured in this issue:1.

“THE LAST METROID IS IN CAPTIVITY. THE GALAXY IS AT PEACE…” All back to Zebes for the third instalment of our Metroid series of podcasts. Leon, Darren, Leah, Rich and community correspondents consider the hushed tones with which this second sequel is often spoken and consider if it is more widely renowned than it is widely played. The panel also looks at some of the changes and innovations made when compared to its 8-bit predecessors in terms of both aesthetics and design considerations, plus as usual we feature a selection of Three Word Reviews from our social media. http://media.blubrry.com/caneandrinse/caneandrinse.com/podcast/cane_and_rinse_issue_506.mp3   Music featured in this issue: 1.
