Nintendo Times Radio 124: PlayStation Anniversaries
The PlayStation just turned 25 and the PS2 is turning 20 next month! We chat about our experiences with both systems and some of the games as well in our Feature Presentation. Don’t miss out on Anniversary Trivia where we test the knowledge of our co-hosts to see if they can guess the games or products that came out 5, 10, 20, and 30 years ago this month. Be sure to play along!

SHOW NOTES:
Nintendo Times Radio is a podcast covering the entire spectrum of the video game universe. Unlike the site, we often discuss games and topics unrelated to Nintendo. In other words, even if you’re not the biggest Nintendo fan out there, we hope you’ll find some value in our conversations and topics. Here’s what’s in store for this episode:
