“This could be interesting.”
Star Wars + DOOM = awesome success. A simple enough equation for mid-90s LucasArts, but is there more to Dark Forces than that? Leon, Chris Worthington, Darren and Tony blast and puzzle their way through this first-person shooter adventure, with missives from Cane and Rinse's community alliance along the way. From the MS-DOS original to the recent Nightdive remaster, we have all planet-destroying bases covered.

Smash TV – Cane and Rinse No.659
“Good luck! You’ll need it!”
The twin-stick shooter never fully caught on in the arcade's golden age, and yet, some years after the beloved Robotron 2084, Eugene Jarvis and his team returned to that particular mechanical interface wellspring for another go round, with 1990's spiritual successor Smash TV. Leon, Jesse, Michiel and community contributors scream bloody murder at Smash TV's ultraviolent, loud, frenetic, brutal and relentless dystopian 1999 gameshow.

Minishoot’ Adventures – Cane and Rinse No.658
"Wake up little one. The corruption has emerged… The Unchosen is back!"
In this issue of Cane and Rinse, Chris, Jon, Leah and Sean discuss 2024's Minishoot' Adventures. A notable PC/Mac exclusive (at the time of recording), made by SoulGame Studio. This top-down action adventure borrows heavily from The Legend of Zelda and mixes it with bullet-dodging, dexterity-based gameplay normally found in bullet hell shoot 'em ups.

Half-Life: Alyx – Cane and Rinse no.657
"We just gotta get to the vault, get the weapon, kick the Combine off Earth — super easy — and they're — and there's sandwiches, there's gonna be sandwiches…"
The oft-cited standard-bearer of VR gaming, Half-Life: Alyx offered gamers near total immersion in the Half-Life universe when many were experiencing the first Covid-19 lockdown. The game also carried the weight of being the first Half-Life game in 13 years, and the reason to purchase a Valve Index headset. Chris Worthington, Darren, James and Ryan discuss whether it bore all that weight.

S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chornobyl – Cane and Rinse No.656
“Hi. Why are you here?”
Our Tony's nomination for the 14th year of podcasts is 2007's first-person survival horror, S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chornobyl. Leon, Jon and James join him in immersing themselves in this notoriously demanding and spiky - if ultimately rewarding - FPS. We also hear tales from The Zone via our trusty community contributors.
