    Prince of Persia is a fine choice!

    You can even get a bit 'shmuppy' if you fancy it. You've a couple of prominent romantic-tinged shooting games to choose from including:

    Super Dimension Fortress Macross: Do You Remember Love? (Saturn)
    Sexy Parodius (Saturn)
    Shooting Love Trizeal (just for the play on words!)
    Cho Aniki :D

    Sure there's a few more you could chuck in there.. :)

    Trying to keep it as Retro as possible... but that can be tricky as it's really only in the past 10 years that romance in games have moved beyond rescuing a princess from a castle... even now it's still rare to be more complicated than that.

    I'll definitely be talking about the Prince and Farah from Prince of Persia though.

    Yeah I've noticed that while looking games up. It's all been very simple rescue the princess stuff until recently.

    Will be mentioning a few text based adventures that did it well and dating sims.

    Also Prince and Farah in Sands of Time which Uncharted has copied and no where near as well might I add.

    I've ripped some Prince of Persia dialogue for inclusion.

    How about Custer's Revenge?

    We all assume he's trying to do the nasty, but it's so pixelated that maybe they're just dancing?

    That's pretty romantic stuff right there.

    Ah Sera, you have to do that, it'll be hilarious.

    You can ring up a la Joe Duffy, giving out about the evils of videogames and how they've stolen your boyfriend away. :pac:

    'It all started with the videogames Joe, now he's wearing women's clothes!'

    So who is up for the podcast this saturday. 2pm as usual I'm presuming unless Dinorex says otherwise. We're going to see who we have and then tailor the topic around what people we have, think it's fairer that way.

    Really enjoyable podcast as usual. Great to see the topic handled so well actually. All areas of the genre were covered really well and I learnt a good bit, especially about the Catherine launch.

    One thing though, Gears Of War is not a shoot em up! :pac:

    Didn't think an hour could be filled on the topic. Fair play gents, I really enjoyed it. :)

    Would like to pop out to one of these some day. But alas, haven't even had time to listen to the ones so far :( I could potentially make it out this Saturday, but after that my freetime is severely curtailed until at least the end of March!
