Dragon Warrior (Part 1) (NES) - August 1989

Super Mario Land (Game Boy) - July 1989
Super Mario Land is an oddity. The game itself is definitely a different vibe and aesthetic than the Mario we know and love but the things it spawned can only be described as outright eccentric. Join us as we dig into the weird and wacky world of Super Mario Land. It isn't just a game. There's an entire 90's experience hiding underneath this unassuming pocket Mario adventure.

Tetris (Game Boy) - July 1989
It's easy to think of Tetris as JUST a puzzle game but the impact this simple puzzle game had is truly remarkable. Not only is it important to the initial success of the Game Boy but it infiltrated culture in a way we haven't really seen up to this point. There are even studies that point to Tetris tapping into a fundamental part of the human brain. The story of Tetris is a story of perseverance and passion. It's a story of how simple ideas can sometimes be the most impactful. This episode takes us down rabbit holes we weren't expecting and we share it all. Discord - https://discord.gg/QgJFYWUjcB

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (NES) - June 1989
Navigate sewers, city streets, sky scraper roofs, and underwater mine fields as your favorite Ninja Turtle! Which, let's be honest, should be Donatello in this game. Donnie's the real MVP here. In this nostalgic trip into one of the 80's biggest pop culture phenomenons we talk about the UK's aversion to Ninja's, the licensing issues that held this game back, our experience playing the game here in 2023, and whatever else comes to mind. Join us as Splinter teaches us how to be n̶i̶n̶j̶a̶ fighting teens! Discord - https://discord.gg/QgJFYWUjcB
