Warp Zone Podcast: August 1991
The episode we’ve been dying to record is finally here! All three of us are huge Super Nintendo fans and August of 1991 marks the launch of Nintendo’s 16-bit machine. We chat about the day we got our systems, what launch games we played, and a whole lot more. What 16-bit SNES games are your favorites? Let us know!
