[*NikkiBell*]

In this episode of DIS POP, Ryno is joined by Pete, Craig, and Oliver as they attempt to hunt down some retro Disney video games. The group head out to a local retro game store, Cybertron Video Games to see what they come up with. With a little bit of luck, the team finds the Toy Story game franchise across multiple consoles. Watch their journey and see what they thought about playing these classic Disney games.

That was fun - reminded me of a free form Friday a bit

also reminded me of how annoying back-seat gamers can be

Oh, and shame on them for not mentioning the greatest retro Disney game of all time: Ducktails

First time watching a DIS POP episode, and I enjoyed it. I think it would be really neat if Ryno did this more often but actually reviewed different current or retro Disney games out there. One thing to point out is that Toy Story 3 for PS3/Xbox 360 has a Toybox Mode which supports two players and is more fun to play than Story Mode.

Yeah I was wondering if they were ever going to mention it. I'm pretty sure the NES version is super expensive if you were to buy it today but the remastered one is only $10.

Best episode to date

Great seeing Pete in shorts

Does anyone know what kind of car Pete is driving ?

I'm not a heavy gamer but I've spent plenty of time watching boyfriends, my husband, and son play Nintendo 64, PlayStation, and Wii. I really enjoyed this episode of DisPOP. My son's favorite game was Disney Princess Enchanted Journey for the Wii. He played it at home and at the hospital when he was going through treatment for leukemia. He was just starting to get into Disney Infinity for Wii right before he passed.

I'm so sorry for your loss. I hope you have found comfort in your loving memories.

I thought this was a very intriguing Dis Pop episode. I was amazed at how few "bleeps" we actually heard. lol.

I actually didn't start playing game systems until my late 20's. For me it was all about the Zelda/Link games, either SNES or N64 systems (eventually the Wii). After a several year hiatus from the N64 (before the Wii), through some friends I got back into the game systems and got a PS3.

Outside of any Zelda/Link games, my all time favorite is going to be Kingdom Hearts. I love both Kingdom Hearts I and Kingdom Hearts II. Patiently waiting for the new one. While I wouldn't necessarily consider the Kingdom Heart games "retro", they are basically Disney themed and I think that is what drew me to them.

I've played games my entire life. Through the worst video games were my brothers and I chosen escape. They were so much to us that when our original Nintendo broke my grandmother search high and low until she found a working one. This was long after they were obsolete but for whatever reason she knew it meant a lot to us.

Now I don't game as much as I use to because life gets in the way but I still can turn a bad day around after playing an old favorite. Thankfully many of my old favorites have been remastered for the newer systems or are available on their e-markets.

I seriously could not stop laughing at this episode.
Who knew that Ryno was the one person in the world who is worse at Toy Story than I am?

I sucked at that game as a kid. Was thinking of checking the Wii U to see if it is available on the SNES emulator.

I used to play it on Game Boy - which I still have. My brother probably has the game cartridge, so if I feel like putting batteries in my Game Boy Pocket, I could see if I've gotten any better at it...

Not available on the market on Nintendo systems. Might just have to order the SNES and Genesis system so I can play them again. I agree with Ryno that the old 8-bit and 16-bits are easier to focus on.

I did find Star Tropics though so bought that to start playing.

Classic one right here. If Ryno is lurking on this thread, please do a segment on this game.

Somehow after this episode I found myself at the local retro game store buying a Sega Genesis. Great episode!
