Episode 149: Horse Racing and Fishing Games

Horses and fish are the focus of Episode 149.  That is, horse racing games and fishing games, two marginalized types of video games, though more popular in Japan.  Two topics, one episode.  Brent and Rob do a lot of horse talking, a bit of fish talking, and Rob does a little bit of sleep talking.  Break it down.  Full track listing below.

    I really liked GI King! Sanbiki no Yosouya. Do you think that's the same game as G1 King! 3-Hitsu no Yosouya, as seen on GameFAQs: http://www.gamefaqs.com/gameboy/569597-g1-king-3-hitsu-no-yosouya

      Yeah, that's the game, but GameFAQs has the title a little wrong. The 3 is correct (three is "san" in Japanese), but the "hitsu" should be a "biki". At least, that's what the box and title screen say (also notice that the box/title screen don't use the numerical 3, but the word for three (san)).

    "Classic Road II: Real Kouma Simulation" - Reminded me tremendously of "Ogre Battle - March of the Black Queen" (one of my all time favorites)

    Another great show. Lots of Bass. Good luck with the live recording! Should be a lot of fun.

    One of the funniest episodes yet. I don't know why but I was very moved by that Fish Got Away track. Such a somber and thoughtful little song. I love it

    Last week, Michael had asked if there were any horse racing games that also had fishing in it. I know of one such game that has both. It was the Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time for the N64. There were a couple of quests that involved racing a horse in order to win that horse to ride in the game and one where you had to catch different sizes of fish in order to win certain prizes including a Golden Scale. I know you guys don't play a whole lot of games beyond the 16-bit era but this is one of the must haves if you haven't played it already.
