youtu.be/fosBLPFLyCo There's lots going on right now, Sports, Halloween, an Election, but even with all that, there's also still retro games. Good ones, this week, thankfully.

Okay, so the Wonder Boy III: Monster Lair review MIGHT be Friday instead of Thursday. I forgot Fright Night Dynamite and the Lakers/Clippers game was tonight. BUT, the script is 100% done, so we'll see what happens. Like the immortal Orange Cassidy said, "I'm gonna try!"

Coming Thursday morning, hopefully, Episode #351, straight from the land down under...

youtu.be/pVgNG4CJGdc Finally, for the throwback review of the week, it's Wonder Boy branching out into the Action RPG genre for the first time with Wonder Boy in Monster Land. They weren't quite there yet, but it was still a nice effort, nonetheless.

youtu.be/_YiDImhuak8 This week, it's a momentous occasion, as not only is it review number THREE FIFTY, it's finishing out the Make My Video series, and if you though the other three were bad, well...

So, with Pinball Expo on Friday, and a visit to the Hard Rock Casino in Gary on Sunday, this week's review is slightly behind. The script is done, and it's the LONGEST review of any of the Make My Video games, in what I think is a fitting end to the series. Should be up Thursday

Coming up next on Zilog and Moto, for episode #350, why yes, that is the fourth and final Make My Video release there to be reviewed, and yes, it is sealed. I can't imagine why no one ever played Make My Video: Kris Kross. Also, some shots of some rare machines from the 2026 Pinball Expo!

I never met Richard Gray, but he had a huge effect on my life, being a large scale contributor to two of my all time favorite games in Duke 3D and the super underrated SiN. If anyone ever deserved the name "Levelord", it was him. Godspeed, sir. Everyone go play SiN: Reloaded in his honor.

Finally, for the throwback review of the week, let's go back to my first experience with a Make My Video title on the channel. Fun fact, Mark Walhberg loves being called Marky Mark. You should try it if you meet him. youtu.be/vbWrvTvYzs8

And last week's review, in case you missed it, is for P.T.O., a game that really only appeals if you 1) Really love WWII History 2) Have a lot of free time on your hands. Like, A LOT youtu.be/v9MU5Dyi7KE

Programming update: Had another concert and birthday stuff going on this week, which has delayed things a bit, BUT, script is done for Batman Returns, and will be shooting tomorrow night for a Tuesday morning release. Thanks for being patient!

Coming soon-ish to zilogandmoto.com...Episode #349. Script is halfway done, and gameplay is underway. Probably not another Saturday release, but I would like to thank everyone that watched P.T.O., it did far better than I was expecting, considering the circumstances.

youtu.be/v9MU5Dyi7KE This week, I decided it was high time for me to finally review a strategy game again, so who else should I go to besides Koei? P.T.O. is an incredibly in depth WWII Simulator for the events in the Pacific...but it could have used some more interactivity.

Next time on www.zilogandmoto.com, episode #348. Hoping to have this ready tomorrow morning, but with the sheer complexity of the title, it might be Monday. I have been putting in the work though, video is captured, and I'm already on page SIX of the script.

Okay, I'll play. Yes, I'm old.

Was so tired after finishing the video last night, that I screwed up the scheduled release, and set it for tomorrow instead of today, which is why it wasn't up at 9 AM. GENIUS.

youtu.be/InutcYcWeIQ And finally, for the throwback review of the week, we're going all the way back to early season 2, and a game that I never thought I'd like in a million years...but did.

youtu.be/5ol9zOIUX9s This was a busy week, what with concerts and double shifts, oh my. So, let's play a game that goes back to simpler times...

Okay, so maybe the Great Basketball review won't hit tomorrow. I had to spend Monday pulling a double, and then last night...I was occupied. Will still try to get the script and gameplay done today, though.
