Warp Zone Podcast: October 1991
October of 1991 was a bit slow in terms of quality new releases. November and December heat up with a slew of great Super NES games, but for this episode the best titles were definitely on the Genesis, and we take some time to talk about those as well! Stick around for the Energy Tank where we pit the Super Mario games against one another to see which one stands victorious at the end!
