Contra (NES) - February 1988

Exploring the history of the gaming industry one retro game at a time!

We traveled back to 1985 to the release of the Nintendo Entertainment System and the original Super Mario Bros. Now we're playing through retro games in order of their release date to fully see the history and evolution of video games. 

Along the way we'll talk about what was happening in the gaming industry at the time of a game's release, how certain games and consoles revolutionized the industry, and the love (or hate) we hold for each of the games we talk about.

Join us to experience the full history of video games!
