Retronauts Episode 717: The Worst Games You've Ever Played (And How to Save Them)
Call it "constructive complaining"
As podcasters, we here at Retronauts seek to celebrate video game history, not tear it apart. When we choose a topic, it's because we're eager to tell more people about a celebrated classic or forgotten gem. This week's episode strays from that philosophy as we instead reach back into our past and dredge up the absolute worst games we can recall playing.
Yet here's the twist: After fully venting our pent-up frustrations, we (host Jeremy Parish and regular contributors Kevin Bunch, Diamond Feit, and Stuart GIpp) offer our own takes on what could have been done to correct these egregious errors of judgment. Our words cannot undo what was done, but it still feels good to try.
Description: Jeremy Parish, Diamond Feit, Stuart Gipp, and Kevin Bunch try to bring a little light into the world as they talk about terrible video games—not by heaping scorn upon them, but by envisioning a better reality where they turned out to be pretty OK.
