Everything from Farmville and Candy Crush, all the way up to Triple A titles like Grand Theft Auto V and Call of Duty. Many remember the classics as well, like Pong and Space Invaders, but few know of the gigantic industry crash of 1983 that almost wiped the industry off the face of the earth.

Join Aaron as he tells John and occasional-producer Sean the tale of the Voyage of the Essex.
