Bad With Games

Bad With Games

Bad With Games is a podcast journey through the best, most important, and most influential titles in video game history. Games journalist Jonathan lends his knowledge and experience to gaming neophyte Will as he plays through hundreds of classics for the first time. New gamers can join in to learn more about these iconic works, and gaming veterans can revisit them from a fresh perspective. Will and Jonathan will do their best to walk you through all the classics without getting too sidetracked by tangents, bickering, or just generally being bad (with games).

We played Tetris, specifically the NES and Game Boy versions released in 1989. Tetris is the grandfather of all modern block puzzle games, but how do these older editions hold up? We discuss secret bonus endings, the appeal of high score chasing, and the impact of the fall of the Soviet Union.
