The Games That Played Us

From Pong to PlayStation. From Atari to Xbox. This week, we're taking a long walk through video game history... not as historians, but as the kids who actually lived it.Dan and Adrian swap stories about growing up during the golden age of gaming, remember the console wars between Nintendo and Sega, revisit the arcades that emptied our pockets, and celebrate the games that became more than entertainment. Along the way, they dive into Halo LAN parties, GoldenEye sleepovers, Mass Effect, Metroid, Mario, Zelda, Chrono Trigger, Spy Hunter, Mortal Kombat, and dozens more classics that shaped an entire generation.Whether you remember renting a console in the blue plastic cases, reading Nintendo Power cover-to-cover, or arguing over which system was better, this episode is for anyone who ever picked up a controller and never really put it down.
