Gonarch's Lair episode 50: The Holiday Special part 1 ~ A Retrostential Crisis

Turn on your out of office and take a well-earned break with our vagrant vacationers, as they observe their half-century episode with enviable verve; taking their traditional trip to Lair 3.0 and escorted by Ret, they play four classic sitcom themed games: ALF on the Sega Master System, The Munsters on the C64, M*A*S*H on the Atari 2600 and Home Improvement: Power Tool Pursuit! on the SNES. While playing we discuss A Nightmare on Elm Street, JAMMA boards, Toast of London, NERD Arcade, Blake’s 7 and Ross’ VR experience; we commiserate the winner of the Shoot The Moon Community Challenge, share our pick of the XO19 announcements and we finally find out the fate of Ky’s fabled Fray Bentos pie. During this regretful recess our misguided misogynists also talk about Rumbelows, Russell Crowe, poop stools, Slipknowt and sour beer; we debate China’s strict gaming curfews, plan the Gonarch’s Lair opera and we tease next year’s Stressmas Special. Trepidatious traditions include Ret fiddling around the back, Thom taking a seat and Ross ploughing on.
