Episode Description

BRemember when you’d pour a bowl of cereal and find a video game inside? In this episode of Tangent Retro Gaming Podcast, we’re digging into the wild era of free games packed into cereal boxes and gaming magazines.

From Chex Quest — the Doom clone that came with breakfast — to the demo disc craze of the ‘90s, we explore how companies turned breakfast and magazines into gaming treasure hunts. Expect nostalgia, laughs, and a few tangents about cereal dust and CD-ROMs that barely worked.

If you remember gaming before downloads, this one’s for you.
