Time Capsule Bonus: 8-Bit Christmas
from Gen X, This is Why.
In this look back at the Xmas of 1988, Doogie Howser recalls his quest to land a classic NES system for the holiday. He must face a schoolyard bully, his parents' resistance, and a town ban on video games to complete this caper. We reminisce about great Nintendo games including our favorite, Zelda. And in a case of life imitating art, we got sucked into a video game on Thanksgiving Day and almost forgot to make dinner.For MORE content and COMMERCIAL-FREE episodes, become a Premium Patreon Subscriber!
