  1. Great segment on the track and field game on NES. I think it was bundled with the console at one point. Great memories.

    Have you ever covered Afterburner on the gaming history? That used to be my favorite arcade game.

    My problem with compilation games for the Wii is that they usually aren’t designed with the Wii controls in mind.

  2. Waiting on games: I do this as well like Mass Effect. I waited long enough it came down to 19.99 and comes with DLC instead of paying the 50 to 60 when it first came out. Hence Fallout 3 GOTY edition comes out this fall with all the DLC.

Episode 467: Reunion ExtravanganzaEpisode 467: Reunion Extravanganza

The landmark episode was recorded two weeks ago, but the audio was absolutely terrible, with over a half-an-hour having to be excised. It’s a pity, because it featured both Videogame Roundtable originals Paul Nowak and Jordan Lund guest-hosting for a massive (for this podcast) five-man crew.

To make up for it, Jonah and T.J. recorded a half-hour discussion of upcoming games that they might check out at E3.

There won’t be a podcast for another 3 weeks, until E3 is over, so for now. Enjoy the podcast, and sorry for the middle hour — the audio cleans up in the last part.
