Bad With Games

We played Space Invaders, originally released in arcades in 1978. Will's war against Gen X continues as we play the original high score chaser that revolutionized video games as we know them. Is he right to be a hater, or is there more to this classic than meets the eye?

We played Colossal Cave Adventure which was originally released in 1976 (although our version came out in 1977). This text adventure provided the namesake for the entire adventure game genre! Did we TAKE to it, or did its obscure puzzles make us want to GO S and THROW in the towel?

We played Pac-Man, originally released in the arcades in 1980. This little yellow fellow became an instant sensation in the 80s, and he's undoubtedly one of the foremost mascots of the entire gaming industry. Don't just "waka waka", instead "runa runa" to listen to this important episode!

We played Tetris, specifically the NES and Game Boy versions released in 1989. Tetris is the grandfather of all modern block puzzle games, but how do these older editions hold up? We discuss secret bonus endings, the appeal of high score chasing, and the impact of the fall of the Soviet Union.
