Gaming in the Clinton Years
Episode 201 — Released Oct 11 2024
The 90s: A time of Tamagotchis, Talkboy tape recorders, and, yes, magazines about video games. These relics of a bygone era form the heart of our culture in a way only consumerism can manage. Some come along with us as we travel twixt the years 1991 and 2001 through words and song, though with the level of lyricism in magazines such as PC Accelerator, Gamepro, Official Playstation Magazine, Electronic Gaming Monthly, and so some more.
Come for the classic 90s audio quality, stay for the classic 90s misogyny!
This week, Extra Credit wonders what if Waluigi did 9/11 to Dolphin Zelda.
