You've heard of Hudson's Adventure Island, but how about Hudson's adventure games? Though the developer was mostly known for platforming and bomber men, in their pre-console-development years, Hudson cashed in on the adventure game craze. And one remnant from this era managed to sneak over to American shores: the NES port of Princess Tomato in the Salad Kingdom. On this episode of Retronauts, join Bob Mackey, Jeremy Parish, Nina Matsumoto, and Chris Sims as the crew ponders this clunky-but-charming vegetarian adventure.

This game inspired one of my favorite OCRemix songs back in the day.

I'm stoked to finally see this little gem get its due. While it's not the greatest adventure game of its era, I'd argue that it's pretty important.

I love everything about this game and have never played it. It's revered as much as Clash at Demonhead and River City Ransom imo. Great ep so far also

Thank you for making this happen! This is now my favorite Retronauts episode of all time. I've been fascinated with this game since I rented it as a kid. Also it was a great bonus to have Nina on. PS: I'll be first in line for a Princess Tomato fangamer shirt!

Really liked this episode! And as much as I love hearing you guys talk, it's always exciting to hear new voices. I hope you have Nina back!
