Warp Zone Podcast: August 1990
It’s another busy month of NES releases, but unfortunately most of them fail to impress. We also go over our top 10 licensed NES games (games based on other IP, like cartoons, comics, movies, etc.). Did your favorites make the cut?
We hope you enjoyed our trip down memory lane. If you’d like to listen to this podcast 1 week early and listen to our special uncut monthly retro play sessions, be sure to visit our Patreon and become a member at the $3 and up tier. It includes a bunch of extra perks, such as LIVE episodes of the Nintendo Times Radio podcast!
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 and TuneIn!
