Super informative and learned a lot!

I just found the podcast recently and so far am really enjoying it. The host really does his homework and digs up lots of interesting stories and tidbits about the development of the games he’s discussing. Great production value, and overall a really fantastic podcast, especially if you’re interested in hearing the history of how a lot of these classic games came to be.

Love This

This podcast is great he gets really deep into history of the games, how they were made, who made them, their struggles. Just if you don't know anything about a game he is talking about it's kind of a snooze fest, at least for me. I listen to him while I drive haul trucks for about 12 hours so granted I could just be already tired. When I grew up playing a game and listen to him talk about it, it's such a great feeling I really love the episode of Starfox!!
