125: Play Old Games

We really can't say this enough or more clearly: play old games. Don't be discouraged because they might look funny, or require text inputs, or don't have voice acting. Play old games. There's an artistry to old games. Which isn't to say modern games aren't art, because clearly that's nonsense, but there is something to be appreciated in a title that made the most of the technology available. Except maybe N64 games. Those haven't aged well. Vinnk and Sean rail against the idea that old games are either unplayable, or simply aren't worth playing when there's new stuff out there. At particular issue is how game publishers denigrate old games in order to sell new ones. What other industry does that? Except maybe cars. Ignore that one. Also, no shame this week as we bring you all Future Retro! Sean finished Minish Cap, and Vinnk talks about a version of Final Fight you've possibly never heard of and probably never played before.
