Old Gamer’s Almanac

I Have No Mouth and, I Must Scream (1995)

This week Hunter and newcomer Shelton Brister sit down to talk about the darkest game in OGA history. A twisted weirdo post-apocalyptic point-and-click written by Harlan Ellison. It's a lot but this game invites a lot of interesting discussion even if that discussion requires some pretty serious content warnings.

Panzer Dragoon (1995)

Hunter and Matt are here this week to talk about our classic OGA subject: SEGAAAAA. This one is a real throwback that I feel like should be very fitting this week of just the boys havin' fun talking about a weird franchise we're quite fond of. Jump on and give it a listen!

Playstation Launch Anniversary! (Every US launch game ranked)

The show is back! We've got a new theme song and a whole new style of episode. Expect new weekly episodes going forward but for this first week I've gone solo in celebration of the 30 year US anniversary of my beloved Playstation. This episode is basically just me (Hunter) reading a listicle I wrote ranking the 11 launch titles for the PS1 and even though I have a lot of love for this era of gaming, most of my short blurbs are me making fun of these old games so enjoy that or not, next week I'll be back with something more traditional for you.
