Warp Zone Podcast: March 1989
We’ve got a news-filled Warp Zone this time around! Plus we go in-depth on one of our favorite games for the NES: Ninja Gaiden! We also play a little trivia game in the Energy Tank. How well did you do?
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! We’re also on Spotify!
