    Hopefully gaming historian lives on in this podcast.

    I would love to hear Norma’s voice talking about video games in the 80s and 90s.

  • Would be pretty good if it weren't for the politics.

    I was a longtime huge fan of Gaming Historian and the work Norm did on that supberb show, so when he mentioned this in his goodbye video I had to go look it up.

    The Super Soaker show and the Donkey Kong one that just went up were good. I was trying to get into more of the other show topics, but the political views and jabs at the political views they don't like got super annoying and unncecessary. I'll probably check out the 2nd part of the DK show, but doubt I'll listen to much more.

    I don'... more
