Super Adventure Island: Super Mid

from Main Quest Podcast Hosted by Keith Gasper

Do you remember Super Adventure Island? Maybe I'm the only one... This week I'm joined by Ashton Ruby to revisit one of Hudson Soft's most successful franchises. Are flashy graphics and a bumpin' soundtrack enough to carry cookie cutter game play? It might be a good game but "Super" doesn't always guarantee a classic.
