  • Off the Deep End Episode 51: A Brief History of RPG Console Ports (Part One)

    Put your thinking cap on, throw your PC in the garbage, and get that Old Nintendo setup ready. It's time for three men in their 30s with silly internet handles talking about old RPGs, but specifically worse versions of those old RPGs that came out on the Famicom or TurboGrafx or something if you didn't own a $800 (in 1992 money) computer. If you want an onerous history of the medium as seen through the versions of games they put out on consoles, we have you covered up to the mid-90s! How are you supposed to pronounce "Faxanadu?" Is this the return of Drakkhen you weren't expecting? All that and more in this episode!
