Episode Synopsis "Episode 9: The NES Years"

This double-length episode picks up the story from where "We Were Atari Kids" left off. Having given the Atari 7800 the old college try, we were eventually drawn into the Nintendo vortex that swept across the North American video game market in the late 80s. Join me for a talk about that time, including memories, stories, and discussion of random games from the era.
