Frogger - The Cane and Rinse videogame podcast

As the industry (and us) gets older, the anniversaries get larger. Konami's famous Frogger celebrates its 45th birthday, so we celebrate with the hydrophobic hopper.

This was a wonderful panel conversation about a masterpiece of a game. Since my wife controlled the game, technically I didn’t actually play it per se. But I’d never let a trifling thing like that stop me having opinions.

For all the flaws I still can't help but see in this project, one encouraging thing remains certain at least: You couldn't do this with AI if you tried.

#CRTWR: Don your trench coat and leave us a Three-Word Review of Under a Killing Moon by 8pm (BST) today (1 August 2026).

My feedback for #UnicornOverlord as read out on @caneandrinse.com Yup! Earned my 50th Platinum trophy on this one. Loved this game. I had never heard of it prior to playing it for the pod. Definitely recommend it! A great strategy / tactical RPG. Don't let the name dissuade you.

Feedback for #DragonQuest on @caneandrinse.com I swear that @itsleah.bsky.social did not write my feedback! LOL Guessing we just had a similar history with Dragon Quest vs Final Fantasy and Zelda games (I have a Zelda tattoo of the master sword on my arm for example).

And a game I recently finished from my @caneandrinse.com #GamingBacklog is #MadMax. I didn't even know this game came out the same year as #FuryRoad let alone existed. An open world driving survival adventure game? Sign me up! And I loved it. The story was tragic but great. Well worth it!

My feedback for #NoMan'sSky as feat. @caneandrinse.com I expected a simple space exploration game. I did not expect engaging story beats, philosophical quandaries, sub-par base building and mining, space battles.. etc. I had trouble with the Switch version. Play on PC or PS5.

I really enjoyed this episode, and it had the typical Cane and Rinse effect of making me dust off my copy of the game and deciding to take it off the backburner.
