Hear ye, Hear ye! On episode nine of Speed Radio, Dan and Tay enter the dark ages of Sega's console life as they play the infamous title, Knuckles Chaotix! A game with a funky history that defined what it would become, an amalgamation of scraps tethered together into one hodge-podge of a product, these two hosts fling themselves forward into the abyss and chat about this unique, but ultimately failed title. Come along as they chat about this game's odd structure, ingenious special stages, and Tay's crazy love for one tough gator! It's an episode for the books, folks!

Rejoice! Episode 7 of Speed Radio be upon ye as this dastardly duo tackles Aspect's third Game Gear entry in the franchise, Sonic Triple Trouble! Considered by many (see: one person) to be the apex of their career, this obscured title brings the franchise yet another lovable creature that wouldn't see a return until the space year of 2023.....and some arcade one-offs if you care for those. Yes yes y'all, we're chatting about Fang/Knak/Jet the Sniper/Hunter in this one! Come along as Dan and Tay chat about the fascinating design of this little game and the development of this new antagonist, as well as the ludicrous translation of this game's areas and bosses! A triple threat for the ages, people!

In the sixth episode of Speed Radio, Dan and Tay play through the holiday-released Sonic Spinball! A pinball game focused entirely around Sonic and his speedy antics is surely bound to be a commercial success, right? With art direction hailing from the American cartoon and comics, it was bound to be a blast of a great time. Tune in to listen to our hosts thoughts on playing through this pocket-sized snack of a spinoff, and how good art can't cover up flaws in execution.
