Warp Zone Podcast: September 1988
Wow, do we have an extended episode for you this month! It took so many hours of editing that I don’t even want to talk about it. In POW Block we’ve got a massive 9 games to discuss and in Playing With Power we go over the very last issue of Electronic Game Player and glance at the second issue of Nintendo Power. Finally, we reveal our Top 10 NES Soundtracks! Do you agree with our choices? Did we leave anything out? Let us know in the comments below!
We hope you enjoy our trip down memory lane. As always, be sure to check out our Warp Zone section on the site for news, reviews, and more written as if from that time period. Don’t forget to send us your questions and suggestions to be featured on a future show via an e-mail (please put Warp Zone in the subject line) or by getting in touch with us via Twitter. As always, please rate us in iTunes. Plus, you can listen to us on Google Play Music!
