What games are considered lost to time?
Hello, fellow gamers, and welcome to the Video Gamers Podcast. You know, some games crash and burn. Others burn bright before simply fizzling out into obscurity. I'm looking at you, Twisted Metal. And yet others might be cult hits, but with a small group of people and just never really warranted a sequel. Whatever the reason, on this episode, we're going to be covering the games or franchises that have been lost to time. Ones that at one point every gamer had heard of, but now are just whispers of times gone by. We'll be talking about some of our favorites, some we honestly don't really even know what happened to, and maybe a few where we know exactly what went wrong. But first, some introductions are in order. I am your host, Josh, and joining me...
He had Perfect Dark at the top of his list until I reminded him the remake is coming. And he hasn't stopped smiling since. It's Ryan.
This is why I try to not share ahead of time, because that was just preliminary. Like, I know this is coming out, but I'm excited. But it took a long time for them to kind of revitalize this game. And then Josh, of course, has to just throw a jab. You know, that's not what it always is. I hear what you're saying, Ryan. Yeah. It was at the top of your list. Because that's what I'm so excited for.
Okay, but these are games that are lost to time, not games that are soon to have an awesome-looking remake.
Yeah, well, we'll see. I'll believe it when it comes out.
That is true.
I mean, although we did get a pretty sick-looking trailer. I know, the trailer was pretty nice. The Perfect Dark remake. Yo, man. Yeah, that's a game that we didn't even talk about. I don't think that's coming this year. That's why.
What exciting announcements are made for the podcast?
Dude, I feel like we talked about it like a year ago, and it's still like, you know, crickets. Yeah, there's not much going on there for sure. It's lost again. Where is it?
2026?
You heard anything about Perfect Dark?
No. So welcome in, everybody. Thank you for joining us. We have a fantastic episode for you today. There's going to be some games that you probably haven't even heard mentioned in a while. There's going to be some hopes about maybe these games will come back at some point. And there's going to be a lot of like, what the heck happened? Like, what happened to that game, man? So this is going to be a lot of fun. But Man, we are going to start off with a really awesome announcement, something that has us very excited that we kind of want to just announce to the world, to all of our listeners out there, because this is going to be and has already been the catalyst for a lot of really awesome things that everybody is in store for.
So a very good friend of ours by the name of John We are actually bringing on in an official capacity on the podcast or for the podcast to help us out. John is an amazing human. He has a heart of gold. Honestly, his true desire is just to help people in the world. And he's got the heart and the brains to do that. And John has been a friend of ours for a long time. We've been chatting behind the scenes for a while. And we finally said, dude... you need to be a part of this. And he said, I need to be a part of this. And we all kind of just broed out for a little bit and, you know, went, yes, let's do this, man. So John is officially on board. Um, you will see him in our discord server. You are going to see his influence on a lot of things for this podcast that are coming up. Um, maybe you'll see him on a show or two. He's, you know, he, We can't get shown up by other people, so we're kind of a little hesitant to bring him on the podcast.
But just being a great friend, people have heard Ace of Shame on the podcast from time to time, and we kind of have a feeling that John will be definitely on the show so that people can get to know him. We'll probably make him do a draft with us so that we can just crush him, Ryan, in this draft, and then just kind of make sure he stays humble at the same time. You know, so if I, if I just have to keep looking at his abs on Instagram, like it's ridiculous, it's annoying.
