This Game Where

One more from the vaults, this week's episode sees Chris treat Ashley to a bit of Pipe Mania, a game developed by The Assembly Line who were, at the time of this game's release, also working with The Bitmap Brothers. Not on this, though. This was entirely their own fault.

Listener's Note: This episode was recorded some time in Summer 2020 and sounds a bit different to recent episodes as a result.

NNNNEEEEYOOWWWMMMM! That's the sound of fast cars going round fast tracks real fast (no, it is. It is. Go on, read it out loud. See!). It's a sound you hear A LOT in Gran Turismo which, despite having a pretty good soundtrack, ruins it by tacking on a racing game. Neither of us were into it. Listen in to find out why!
