Episode 688: Muppets Games
🕑 Added 2025-05-02 07:00:06 +0000 UTCThe Muppets have been with us in some way for 70 years—yes, really—meaning Jim Henson's fuzzy, slightly demented puppet creations essentially grew up alongside the medium of video games. And while turning the Muppets' pun-based humor into an interactive experience went about as well as expected, there's a few notable adaptations that show just how much their creator would have thrived if he lived to see the go-go '90s. On this episode of Retronauts, join Bob Mackey, Henry Gilbert, and Drew Mackie (of Gayest Episode Ever and Thrilling Tales of Old Video Games) as the crew assembles to answer that immortal question: "Dad, what's a Muppet?"

(I foolishly left a comment before the section about view master was done) we did a Muppets View Master game on hg101 some time last year! It's fun to hear others talk about it! Thank you for the lovely show!

Bringing up Speedstorm reminds they had a Kermit in that Disney Mirror verse game as a banjo knight.
