Tomba is pure "early video game" in more ways than one; join Rick and George as they discuss the signature "Events" system, the surprising amount of freedom (and frustration) throughout, good-time music, and beatin' up pigs. Who doesn't love that? What I DO hope you love...is the show today. Please enjoy!Referenced Links1997 Developer Interview2024 Developer InterviewA full list of in-game EventsThank you for listening!
