This week we’re cooking up some final holiday treats in the form of gaming history, news, retro flashbacks and general commentary. We’re looking back at the Need for Speed franchise, a little gaming history on Black Box Studios and covering some news stories:
This weeks soap box covers a little holiday cheer, what games did you love as a child, which game got you the most excited, what’s your best memory and most prized achievements in gaming. What game was a total turn off?
Wish wish everyone a happy holiday no matter what you celebrate, when you celebrate and how you celebrate. Party hard. Drive Safe. Enjoy.
Podcast Crew.

I remember when I got Ultima IV for Christmas. It cost $72 + tax from online orders. Think about that and what it would be today with inflation. And people complain about $59.99 games.
Anyway, when the clock struck midnight, I tore open the box, popped it into my Commodore 64 and fell in love with Britannia all over again. I played overnight til 6pm, slept, then woke up at 6am, and played some more.
Ironically, it was the last RPG I'd have such deep feelings for, though Wasteland and The Bard's Tale were spikes in my interest.

I'm sure you might have heard, but if you check, SMB2 was a redressing of another game…

I think I have told you 3 different ways…

They know the USA Super Mario Bros. 2 wasn't really SMB2 (It was Yume Kōjō: Doki Doki Panic)
Derrick, I'd meant that Ultima IV story to be an answer for your Soap Box. You never read it on 103.
