I love listening to this podcast to remind me of all the great retro games I’ve played and had fun with. I especially like when the hosts go over strategy games like Ogre Battle as that was one of my favorites. Also, Lotus seems to be one of the only people other than me to beat Valiant Hearts so he’s clearly got some gaming chops.
