Cyborgs, circuits, and controller-smashing chaos converge in this week’s electrifying Play Comics episode! Grab your pixel blasters and prepare for a digital demolition as we dive deep into the most metal crossover of the 90s: Robocop vs Terminator!
Our special guest Ryan Placchetti from the Don’t Wreck Yourself podcast joins us to dissect this multi-platform mayhem that blasted its way across the Super Nintendo, Genesis, Master System, Game Boy, and Game Gear. We’ll explore the Dark Horse comic mini-series that spawned this epic robotic rumble, breaking down the circuits and carnage that made gamers and comic fans lose their mechanical minds!
Learn such things as:
Are Robocop or Terminator ever going to stop being relevant?
Is this a bigger take on the capitalist nature of society or the true nature of police policy?
Is it a feature or a bug when you have essentially different games with the same name coming out like this?
And so much more!
