187 - Spy Hunter (NES) - Let's Play Retrospective
This week we shoot down our enemies and accidentally run families off the road in the 1983 vehicular combat classic Spy Hunter! We reviewed it on the NES, but its initial release was in Arcades across the world. Sure, it managed to stay in the top 5 arcade games in America for 3 years running, but nearly FORTY years later is the classic Interceptor car still worth getting into? Before getting to the game, we shift gears and talk about Returnal, Ghostbusters: Afterlife, and NBA 2K22. Plus, did Andrew just admit he believes Aliens have already visited us?!
