Retronauts Episode 648: The First Games That Scared Us

We've devoted many hours of Retronauts to horror games—including an entire episode just last month—but this week we're taking a different tact. Rather, we want to turn back the clock to before developers even made "horror games" but still managed to create their share of scares.

Host Nadia Oxford welcomes guests Ash Paulsen and Victor Hunter back to the podcast to discuss their earliest frightening encounters in games regardless of the genre. Perhaps this will be the first time our program will scare a listener in the future? If so, you're welcome.

Description: For Halloween, Nadia Oxford, Ash Paulsen, and Victor Hunter talk about retro games outside the horror genre that scared them. Boo!
