Maximum Utcast - 21 - Is the Weirdness Gone?

May 8, 2026 · 1 h 3 min

Show notes

On this freeform episode of the Maximum Utcast, our hosts are joined by no guests but we weave through run and gun games like Metal Slug, beat 'em ups like Double Dragon, and driving games like Cool Riders. Along the way, we get whispers of games like Absolum, Kunio-kun, Anthology of the Killer, and Truck-kun is Supporting Me From Another World. The Power Team also stops by to help us deal with some surf (blank) who must die, and we lament the passing of Yoshihisa Kishimoto, creator of Double Dragon, River City Girls, and many more games.
