    Oct 29 2024

    This week Matt and Hunter sit down to double up and talk about two exciting games from the before times! One is a Capcom platformer with real good art and the other is a pre-Warcraft Blizzard console game in the style of Another World. This one was recorded in person and has a real excited feel to it.
