When I was a kid we barely had TV
Come with us now on a journey to our childhoods, as we on the Electronic Wireless Show podcast talk about the games that make us feel the most nostalgic. The games we played as kids, or spent all-nighters on as teens. It’s a surprisingly diverse list, and Matthew has one anecdote in particular involving the music of Danny Elfman that I think makes this a genuine must-listen episode. Do you have the same nostalgia games? Which ones instantly transport you to the past?
This week we also get an important fish update from Nate, who has a tank full of monsters that it turns out are slightly less inbred than we thought, and also I made an unwise purchase (not fish-related). Matthew delivers a Cavern Of Lies that we have to navigate on pure instinct alone, like Luke turning off his targeting computer, and we have three good suggestions in our Recommendations section.
You can listen above, or onon Spotify,iTunes,Stitcher, orPocket Casts. You can find theRSS feed here, and you can discuss the episodeon our Discord channel, which has a dedicated room for podcast chat.
Music is by Jack de Quidt.
LinksNate immediately brings upZ: Steel Soldierseven though he didn’t actually like it that much. He actually has more of a soft spot for the Discworld game (although he isn’t sure which one) andTIE Fighter(when it was working).
When I was a kid I’d go to my friend Geoff’s house and play 007 NightFire. One time I tormented my brother by playingNeverwinter Nights. Me and my friends went on holiday and played a lot ofSoulcalibur IV.
Matthew, meanwhile, played loads ofCall Of Duty 2in unusual circumstances - apart from all those puzzle games, which he talks about every week.
We kind of all played a lot ofWorms.
Recommendationsthis week are the second series of theTV show Hacks, the bookSorrow And Blissby Meg Mason, and (bear with us) the field next to the gastro pubThe Saxon Mill.
