With the run of The Retro Gamers as you know it know getting ready to come to an end, it only makes sense to post up a video we had to re-edit because not every episode is perfect. This one still isn't perfect, but it was missing... so back in rotation is Episode 364 where we talk about the finalists of the 2024 World Video Game Hall of Fame.
