With the Dreamcast on its last legs, a cohort from Sonic Team once again decamped to the USA to create the SEGA mascot's magnum opus, Sonic Adventure 2.

Leon, Dan, Darren and Tony - as well as a pile of correspondence from the listening community - grind up against Sonic and pals' second full 3D outing.

A triumphant swansong for the company's final console, or... not?

The streets of Kamurocho are no stranger to violence but things have gotten a bit out of hand. Brian, Leah, Michiel and Sean explore the eerily familiar zombie filled landscape in Yakuza: Dead Souls. Does this Kiryu helmed spinoff have any bite, or does it leave them infected with misery? Listen in to find out.

Capcom mashed up two of its hit fighting franchises with chibi cuteness and block-slotting arcade action in 1996 with the release of Super Puzzle Fighter II Turbo (or X). Leon, Leah and returning guest Ben Cartlidge of One Credit Classics - along with input from the Cane and Rinse listeners - discover the joy of interlocking coloured gems and the resulting cacophony of crashing that ensues.

Another celebrated mid-90s arcade classic celebrates its 30th anniversary, and this time it's run 'n gun fun with SNK's original Metal Slug (SUPER VEHICLE 001). Leon, Chris Worthington, Michiel and returning guest Ben 'One Credit Classics' Cartlidge go over the top with Nazca's sensational 3D sprite-work and - along with contributions from the community and listenership - dig into the usual minutiae, and explore the possibility of the fabled 1CC or even no-death clear.
