Video Game Historian (with Joe Martin)

What this episode covers

Video games are pretty darn popular. Americans spend about as much on games as they do on going to the movies and buying music, combined.

However, for every great success, there are more great failures, and even more games that even got to see the light of day. Today’s guest, Joe Martin, is a gaming journalist that like to research this lonely area of gaming, the history of games that were never released. As they say, those that don’t learn from history are doomed to repeat it. So what has Joe learned?
