0081 Mega Cat Studios Founder James Deighan

Mega Cat Studios has been a major part of the ongoing retro movement in gaming. Their studio has been responsible for multiple games with cartridges designed for classic consoles such as the NES, SNES, Genesis, and Game Boy. Founder James Deighan was kind enough to come onto the podcast to discuss Mega Cat games past and present including the upcoming Five Nights at Freddy's: Into the Pit, Coffee Crisis, WrestleQuest, and more. James really brough his love of gaming, the industry, and gamers to the conversation and we hope you enjoy it. Shout out to Brian McGuinness for stepping into the cohosting duties for this episode.
