The Way We Played
Welcome to "The Way We Played" – your nostalgic warp zone back to gaming's golden age! Join us as we button-mash our way through the classics that defined the 80s, 90s, and early 2000s. Each episode, we dive into a beloved game, exploring its history, mechanics, and cultural impact with the precision of a speed-runner and the humor of a glitched NPC. Our hosts blend witty banter, sarcastic commentary, and genuine appreciation for these digital time capsules. It's like John Oliver decided to tackle Zelda's water temple – informative, hilarious, and occasionally rage-quit inducing. Whether you're a seasoned gamer longing for the days of blowing on cartridges, or a n00b curious about gaming history, "The Way We Played" offers something for everyone. We're serving up a nostalgic cocktail of facts, laughs, and "remember when" moments that will transport you back to the days of CRT TVs and dial-up internet. So grab your controller, press start on your nostalgia, and let's replay the games that shaped a generation!
