Episode 238: The History of Video Games Part 2 - The Late 80s

It's time to get totally tubular as the boys hit the mid to late 1980s, a formative and fascinating part of video games history, with the 2nd part of their loose look back at the history of video games. NESessary listening if you like to GAME, BOY do Tommy, Ben and Adam MASTER SYSTEMatic breakdowns of video games in their various forMS-DOS and don'ts of what to play from the 1980s and TURBOGRAFX-16 themselves silly. Truly radical, man.

It's a whale of a time!Note that we talk about Animal Well until about 50:30, we avoid spoilers it's mainly just broad discussion so you should be fine in my opinion, but that's where to head if you're desperate not to hear anything about it.Patreon - weekly bonus episodes and secret Filthy discord and FB groupBandcamp Premium EpisodesYouTube - including live streams and Let's PlaysTwitch
