In this episode Steve talks about being a child in the 90s and what it was like to get into video games. He tells his story about discovering the NES and the SNES, his best friend being a huge Genesis fan, and finally, what it was like to choose between the PlayStation and the N64.

This is a story that is bigger than Steve. It covers what made 90s games special, the difference between being a child and an adult gamer, and how knowing more about video games doesn’t necessarily make you appreciate each game more.

Lastly, there are some questions Steve seeks to answer a few questions.

Do the games we play as children affect us forever?

Was gaming in the 90s anti-social?

What were the best parts of gaming in the 90s.

What can people take away from the 90s?
