Warp Zone Podcast: October 1990
Welcome to the Way Back Machine where we whisk you 30 years in the past and discuss what was happening in the world of Nintendo. After a few months of an insane amount of NES game releases, we finally get a bit of a breather with a few less titles to cover this time around. That gives us more time to talk about the magazines for the month as well as our favorite Castlevania games!
We hope you enjoyed our trip down memory lane.
