We return to a game we played near the very start of the podcast, but … in port form? Much to discuss about the place of ports as transformative work and also the strange routes of design lineage, especially when we talk about NiGHTS and Sonic Team’s peculiar ideas about what 3D gaming should look like. A TRULY action packed episode.
