  • Woof woof, Dogs!

    OGA is a fun tour through the annals of gaming in the past 50ish years! Hunter and Matt do a wonderful job of highlighting forgotten gems of gaming in passionate and insightful ways. They don’t take themselves or their opinions too seriously, but rather try to keep the atmosphere fun and informative!

    I love their guests! EJ and Sun being the most often reoccurring guests, but they’re all great, and do a great job of preventing things from becoming stale. Matt and Hunter also come up with fun to... more

  • Not sure the hosts like the show

    I wish I could recommend this show. I like these guys, I’ve listened to one of their other podcasts SCPT for a long time, but you really get the sense that they actively dislike the format of their own show. They have either abandoned or openly disdain of their own self-imposed gimmicks, such as keeping a ranked list of the games they cover, or sticking to releases from a specific time period.

    Playing the games in advance of making an episode is treated as a chore, particularly for Matt. I thin... more

  • Lost it’s way

    It used to be good. However, having a list that they actively hate really takes away from the show. Removing XCOM to make room for Wildermyth was the final straw for me. Should I care – probably not. However, that was painful to listen to.

    If the podcasters dislike the show, then it makes it really hard for me to like the show.
