Retro Game Guys (A Retro Gaming Podcast)

Happy Turkey Day! In this special Thanksgiving episode, each of the guys pick a game that they are thankful for. Games include the arcade classic Ms. Pac-Man, cutesy action platformer Bubble Bobble (NES), the frustratingly difficult Impossible Mission (C64 and others), and the “non-game” Videomation (NES). Raise a glass with us and let’s give thanks!
