On this week’s Tom & Mat A-Talk, Mat’s been playing a little bit of PONCHO and Gargoyle’s Quest, while young Thomas has plunged head first into the rabbit hole know as the ZX Spectrum. It leads us nicely onto the topic of the great documentary From Bedrooms to Billions, as well as a trip down memory lane into our love of video game shops…
Listen here.
Featuring real life audio opinions of a Welshman and Englishman, it’s Tom & Mat Attack! On this week’s Episode, Mat’s been buying Gameboy Games, while Tom’s made a few purchases relating to the ZX Spectrum. Besides this, the boys have been playing a bunch of games that are so 2014! Mat beat Watch Dogs & Tom’s been playing Call of Duty Ghosts! What is the world coming to?!
Listen here.
Does this week’s TMA title refer to the boys experience of playing the Virtual Boy? Mat’s trip to the UK? Tom’s to Play Expo? Or this podcast in general? Well, there’s only one way to find out!
Listen here.
On this week’s TMA, Tom’s been buying up half of Denmark, while he’s been playing some of them like Amped 3, Birds of Steal and a little bit besides. Mat had a week of more Dimensions, a little bit of the excellent Undertale and a few flea market finds…
Listen here.
On this week’s Tom + Mat A-chat, Mat’s been knee deep into LEGO Dimensions, fiddled with some Kurukuru Kurin and even finally beaten MGS:V! Tom however has finally started Metal Gear, bought some more Worms merch and even also played a little of LEGO Dimensions himself! We also discuss the trials and tribulations of Game’s collecting and a little besides!
Listen here.
On this week’s TMA, the boys get serious. Mat has some beef with his Metal Gear Solid (hence the title! but don’t worry, there are no huge revelations about the game’s story), he’s also played and liked the fabulous Grow Home, which he has no beef with, just love of OctoDad like Robots. Tom has been staying off eBay, has surprisingly played some MGSV also, as well as a little bit of Mario Marker! It’s a funny old podcast, but we like it all the same!
Listen here.
On this day, we mourn the loss of the Tom and Mat Shack. It was a good run, you sheltered us from harm and kept our video games dry, but now we must say goodbye… Dramatics aside, Tom has been buying more of The List™, while playing some Need For Speed & having some Playstation Move fun with Rambo! Mat however’s been a little more low key, only really playing the excellent Volume by Mike Bithell in prep for Metal Gear Solid V… It’s all about the Stealth!
Listen here.
Tom’s been at it again! Not content with his Worms & Lemmins collection, he attempts to complete The List™ of great games for each system, this week looking at the original Xbox! Mat’s been drawing phalluses on his Singer Izek and getting stuck into Pac Man 265… All the while, Tom’s been cradling a Flappy Bird addiction… What ever happened to this podcast!
Listen here.
After a long Summer Holiday Cliffy Rich style, Tom and Mat are back to rock your socks off, or at least, pry them off gently with talk about games. Tom’s been playing a lot, Mat’s being buying Sewing Machines, in the middle of all of this, a Podcast is born… and uploaded a week later than it should’ve been! Sorry folks! We’ll be back to normal uploads next week… Which is today…
Listen here.
Hey Blast Processors, Tom here! Over the summer holidays I received a fantastic piece of kit from the folks at Arcade Works, The Blinking Light Win.
It's a replacement 72 pin connector for the NES but not only that, it has some extra abilities and you also get a new loading tray. This funky device helps alleviate the stress of having to retry your carts severals times before they actually work.
So if your NES is playing up, this may be just up your street.
Get yours here:

NOTE:
There was a short intro to this video but I lost the footage, therefore it begins with the actual installation straight away.

Ahhh Worms...one of the Blast Process team's favourite games. To be more precise one of Tom's favourite games. So much so he's amassed a little bit of a collection.
Our resident Worms enthusiast recently obtained a sealed copy of the PC Full Wormage Boxset. Not being one to sit and stare at a sealed package for a lifetime, let's join Tom as he 'unboxes' this little bugger to see what joys hide within!

Hey Blast Processors, Tom here again!
So I jumped on a plane and vacated my Danish Game Room for my British one!
As promised an update from the 'UK' Game Room. You'll find it's jam packed with more fun and games than ever before, not to mention littered with Lemmings and Worms games for some reason...
There's a few more consoles that have come out of hiding now, and other new editions like a Mega CD and CD-i.
I tried to keep it brief but upon editing realised it was nearing the 30 min mark...Oops. Regardless I hope you enjoy. If you have any questions about what you've seen in the collection, just leave a comment.
NOTE: After filming this I received confirmation that the 'Blinking Light Win' that I mentioned in the video has just been shipped!
Watch below!

Hey Blast Processors, Tom here!
For those not in the know, I live and work in Denmark. I don't have a Game Room in Denmark, but I do have a Living Room/Lounge area where I have a small collection of games and consoles and I thought it was about time I shared it with you all. I used to share this space with fellow Processor Mathew Boyle but he flown the coop so to speak so it's just little old me now and a distinct lack of RPGs.
A lot's changed at the Tom and Mat Shack since and seeing as we didn't do a Game Room Video like we planned, I did a short one to show what it presently looks like here at the shack. So here's my 'Danish' Game Room, enjoy!

On this week’s TMA, Tom has been living upto his promise of not buying new games… At least not New, New Games, Lemmings doesn’t count apparently! Even more surprisingly, Mat’s bought some Gameboy Games! Hazaa! Apart from this, the boys visited Copenhagen’s Premier Retro Game Retailer, Ruben og Bobby, buying SNES titles and other wonderful things! Oh and spoilers for TMA 104… Tom bought Dino City 
Listen here.
It’s been a slow week in TMA Town! Mat’s completed Shenmue, beat some Duck Tales and even done a little bit of Wooly World with Young Thomas, who has mostly been spending his time buying expensive copies of Worms and reminiscing over his love of fighting games and how said love could perhaps be coming to an end…?
Listen here.
This week the boys are back to their regular shinnanigans. Tom’s picked up some more Worms, Mat bought some Gameboy games, and they’re both talking nonsense! Tom’s been knee deep in some Monopoly on PS3, as well as some Towerfall Accession & Surgeon Simulator on the PS4. Mat has purely been playing Shenmue and as a result, is about to loose some street cred with the Dreamcast Crowd…
Listen here.
Wowzers Trousers, 100 Episodes of TMA! What better way to kick off over an audio century by looking forward to the years 2016 and 17, we have looked into the Crystal ball of E3 and found many a tasty morsel of gaming delights that both excited and titivated our gaming desires, but also some that made us feel isolated and slightly confused with it all… Here’s to 100 more & thanks for your support!
Listen here.
You havin’ Worms problems, I feel bad for you son. ‘Cause Tom’s got 99 versions, but Worms 2 ain’t one. -cough- Sorry, had to get that little ditty out the way! On this week’s TMA, Mat is debating buying an expensive arcade machine, confirming most Gameboy Color games are nonsense and getting surprisingly hooked on Puzzle & Dragons. Tom’s moved on from Lemmings to Worms, but still managed to fit in some Mortal Kombat, and even a few racing titles!
Listen here.
It's been an exciting month of reviews over at Gameboyle. For those not familiar with the YouTube Channel it's the work of our very own Mathew Boyle, yes he of Blast Process's Tom and Mat Attack podcast.
Every week Mat reviews a game from the Game Boy's massive back catalog as he continues towards his goal of owning every game in the console's library. Rather him than me!
Check out the videos below to see what Mat's been up to this month, a rather lovely overview of all the core Mega Man titles released for the original Game Boy. Enjoy!
Mega Man: Dr Wiley's Revenge:
It's a portable Megaman! Yes, all the joy of Capcom's Blue Bomber on the Gameboy. Does this game measure up to it's NES forerunners? Is it balls to the walls hard? What's the boss order? All will be revealed...

Mega Man 2:
Mega Man II seems to be universally regarded as the worst of the Mega Man titles on the Nintendo Gameboy. A sentiment even shared by Mega Man's creator, Keiji Inafune. Is it really as bad as the internet would have you believe?

Mega Man 3:
Leaping into Mega May comes Mega Man III! With the reins of the Blue Bomber's handheld campaign back in the hands of Minakuchi Engineering, Mega Man III cranks the difficulty back the to legendary status of it's NES counter parts. However, is this a fun experience on the Game Boy?

Mega Man 4:
Rocking on with Mega May has brought us to Mega Man VI! Minakuchi Engineering's hotly contested entry for best Mega Man game in the entire run on the Nintendo Gameboy. Is it all Rock-Man-Roll? Or a complete Mega Bust?

Mega Man 5:
We wrap up Mega May with the last in the Game Boy series, Mega Man V! Minakuchi Engineering's last handheld entry into the series, but perhaps also their best. With new characters, ideas and the classic gameplay formula, how could it not be?

On this week’s TMA, Tom’s been knee deep in Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag! He can confirm that the 2014 Game of the Year for many is worth the hype! Mat’s been knee deep into Gameboy games like Amida, Ghost Busters and various Japanese titles, not to mention being subjected to terrible 90′s SEGA raps… Stay tuned until the very end for a treat
