Parry's Pickups! Episode 67... - Birthday Bonus Import Special!

What? How? There's more Parry's Pickups!? You may be asking yourselves this question, you may not be, but it's true, all of it!

Let me explain, this video came about because there's no Episode 67 of Parry's Pickups, I accidentally missed it out...somehow... Seeing as it was my Birthday coming up and I'd bought myself a few games from Genki Video Games to celebrate, I thought, let's do a new one and make up for the missing episode!

Please enjoy :)

NOTE: This vid is NOT a paid advertisement for Genki Video Games, I do however highly want to recommend them as a great place to get imported games online. I've been buying games from them for years and the service is impeccable and I just wanted to give something back as a way of saying thanks!

Parry's Pickups! Episode 100 - Jurassic Park, Batman, Tetris and Shenmue!

100 episodes, over 400 games, Parry's Pickups celebrates it's final episode with an epic 27 minutes of Pickups!

The final episode of Parry's Pickups was always going to be a special one seeing that it coincided with the re-release of Shenmue 1 & 2, which receives some special treatment in this feature length episode.

Rest assured though it's not a completely Shenmue-centric episode, as Tom also shares his recent Game Gear pickups and his latest Tetris pickup!

So sit back, relax and enjoy this hundredth and final episode!

Parry's Pickups! Episode 99 - Tetris (yes, again) , Mickey Mouse, The Gunstringer and The Lion King!

It's the penultimate episode of Parry's Pickups! In this episode we feature a very nice Japanese only Tetris release, 2 great Game Gear games that are also available on Master System and of course a Kinect game!

It doesn't get more classic Parry's Pickups than this!

Parry's Pickups! Episode 98 - No Man's Sky, Tetris & Dr. Mario, Sunday Vs. Magazine and Silent Hill!

It's been a pretty fun week in gaming for Tom, he's discovered No Man's Sky, found a great new PSP fighting game and added another Silent Hill game to the collection...

...however he could not play his new Tetris game because his SNES doesn't work properly...so that wasn't so good...

Parry's Pickups! Episode 97 - Halley Wars, Devilish, Fable and Rise of Nightmares!

It's all about the Game Gear and Xbox Kinect in this episode of Parry's Pickups!

Tom's got a couple of Game Gear classics on today's show as well as a couple of Kinect games also, Fable The Journey is a bit of a gem but Tom's not quite sure about Rise of Nightmares...

Parry's Pickups! Episode 96 - Micro Machines, Tony Hawk, Captain America and Sonic!

We know we say this often but this episode of Parry's Pickups really is a mixed bag!

Not in terms of quality but variety, Game Gear, PSP, Xbox 360 and PS2 are all featured this time around.

What all the games in the episode do have in common however is that they're all rather good!

Parry's Pickups! Episode 95 - Sonic Mania, Putt & Putter, Taz-Mania and Worms!

Not only do we get manic over Sonic in this latest episode of Parry's Pickups but we also get manic over a certain Tasmanian Devil...for totally different reasons we may add...

We also feature a great handheld golf game in the form of Putt & Putter for Game Gear and a slightly disappointing handheld version of Worms for DS...

Parry's Pickups! Episode 94 - Porky Pig, Puzzle & Dragons, Tetris and Sims 3

It's games from every format under the sun in this episode of Parry's Pickups! That's a whole 4 different formats, crazy!

We begin with Porky Pig's Haunted a Holiday, which is, dare I say it, a SNES 'Hidden Gem'!

We move onto Puzzle & Dragons for the 3DS, which is apparently pretty good, but Tom needs to play it more.

Then, yes, you guessed it, more Tetris! This time for the NES.

Lastly Tom is shocked by the Wii version of Sims 3, a game where you have direct control over your Sim, madness!

Parry's Pickups! Episode 93 - Lemmings Special!

It's been a long time coming, but it's finally time for our very first Lemmings Special! I've been a keen collector of Lemmings games for a few years now. I first fell in love with the game after being exposed to it on a friend's Atari ST.

It wasn't until I got a Philips CD-I though, that I got my own copy of the game. So join me as we talk a little about my most recent Lemmings pickups and compare and contrast the Game Boy and Game Gear versions of the game, and more besides!

Parry's Pickups! Episode 92 - Hi Hi Puffy AmiYumi, Golf, Dragonball and WWE!

Tom thinks we might a hidden gem in this latest episode of Parry's Pickups, at least he was not aware of this particularly good GBA title until recently...were you?

Tom also talks about Everybody's Golf on PSP, Dragonball Evolution also on PSP and another wrestling game that he's picked up for the PS3...

Parry's Pickups! Episode 91 - Splatoon 2, Far Cry 4, Fighters Uncaged and Kinect Sports

Tom has another more recent heavy hitter appearing in this latest episode, Splatoon 2! In addition he also talks a little Far Cry 4 and not a lot about Fighters Uncaged or Kinect Sports...simply because he hasn't played them yet...Tom's too lazy to Kinect at the moment!

Parry's Pickups! Episode 90 - Street Fighter, Sabrina, Kinect Joy Ride and Binaryland!

It's new releases and old classics and new releases of old classics in this latest episode of Parry's Pickups!

We take a look at Street Fighter 30th Anniversary Collection on PS4 before moving on Sabrina Spooked for the GBC, we take a spin with Kinect Joy Ride before dusting off a copy of Binary Land for the Famicom.

Parry's Pickups! Episode 89 - Tetris, DOA2, Sonic and WWE

In this latest episode of Parry's Pickups, we take a look at yet another version of Tetris, this time for Dreamcast, a DOA2 variant, in the form of the second Japanese PS2 release of the game, a Sonic homebrew/hack for the Mega Drive and to top it all off, a WWE wrestling game for PS3.

Parry's Pickups! Episode 88 - Sega Mega Drive Classics, Dragon Age, Tetris and DOA

We take a look a comprehensive look at Sega Mega Drive Classics in this latest episode as well talking about perhaps the greatest Tetris game ever, Tetris Evolution for the Xbox 360. There's also more Dragon Age and Dead or Alive ;)

Parry's Pickups! Episode 87 - Dragon Age, Kengo, DOA and Exhumed

So many games...they never end, honestly why do we need any new ones?

Tom continues to find reasonably priced old games he wants to play and therefore keeps having plenty of material for Parry's Pickups.

He hopes by sharing his thoughts on the games he picks up he may help you inform your decision to buy or indeed not buy certain games.

Tom is happy to keep providing this service until he runs out of games to buy.

Thanks for listening.

;)

Parry's Pickups! BONUS EPISODE - Mike's bag of goodies!

Tom's been buying games from Mike again! And surprise surprise there's plenty of fighters in Mike's bag of games, also some 3rd person action games and something a little extra to top it off!

Parry's Pickups! Episode 86 - Rabbids, Kinect Sports and Evangelion

In this episode we take a look at 2 Kinect games, one featuring those loveable Rabbids and another featuring...well...sports. We also have 2 import Saturn games, based on the ever popular Neon Genesis Evangelion franchise.

There's a little more PSVita love in this latest episode of Parry's Pickups, plus a modern hidden gem and a couple of retro delights from the PS2 era!

Parry's Pickups! Episode 83 - X, Taz, Bubsy and Monopoly

Who would win in a fight, a Tasmanian Devil or a Bobcat? I'd imagine it'd be pretty messy...luckily we don't have to settle a score between those guys because it turns out that both have rather good video games!

In this latest episode we also feature a great one-on-one fighting game all the way from Japan, plus a classic board game re-imagined for the Wii in the form of Monopoly!
