Ep 82 - The Memories and Magic of Renting Video Games: Part 2

August 07, 2023 • Bill Tucker • Episode 82

In Part 2 of our exploration of rental houses and video stores, we talk about games. All. The. Games. From the love-at-first-play titles to the weekend ruining disappointments, we swap stories of purchases yore. And we conclude the conversation by thinking back to what it was like as a kid wandering the aisles of our favorite video shop searching for the perfect game.
