Whilst Victor is arcading in ‘Merica Shaun enlists the help of Paul and Phil from the Maximum Power Up podcast to talk about the famous brawler, Final Fight. We also share our secrets on how we got so ripped (in a little under 20 minutes using this one weird trick) for the show image. *cough* Photoshop *cough*

  1. Listened to the new episode, was great really enjoyed it. i never liked final fight, but the rest of the capcom side scrolling beat’em ups i loved. Favourite being Punisher. I’ll give the Kung fu master ago, and see what i can get. Keep up the good work 😀

  2. I played almost all of these games. except the ones with low graphic art like f-zero, mario kart, castlevania, metroid etc. contra had low graphic but very enjoyable with co-op. earthbound, ff should be top5. idk how many times i’ve replayed crono trigger and earthworm jim. others mostly 75%.
