Warp Zone Podcast: September 1989
A ton of NES games launched in September of 1989 so we have our work cut out for us in trying to cover all of them. The majority are pretty trashy, but there are some really awesome ones too! We also chat about Nintendo Power, EGM, GamePro, and more in Playing with Power. Plus we play a new trivia game. Who will win between Aaron and Craig? Listen to find out!
We hope you enjoyed our trip down memory lane.
