Mere weeks have passed since Jeremy Parish, Benj Edwards, Kevin Bunch, Chris Sims, and Jared Petty looked back 50 and then 40 years ago at video game history. The abundance of material necessitated a second look, and thus we have today's episode focused squarely on 1985. This week we spend more time on arcade and computer games than console games because boy howdy, 1985 was quite the year in that department.
Will this crew ever reach 1995? There's only one way to find out: Prayer.
Description: Jeremy Parish, Benj Edwards, Kevin Bunch, Chris Sims, and Jared Petty channel the power of five to continue their discussion of the ’5s (1975, ’85, and ’95). This time, the focus is on the pivotal gaming events of the year 1985.
