Episode 78: Game Rankings Volume Five

Another game rankings episode: This episode covers Sim City 2000, Legend of Zelda: A Link To The Past, Duck Tales II, Legacy Of The Wizard, and Castlevania Chronicles.

This episode is coming out slightly out of order, so bear with me in that regards. I ended up moving some episodes around after the recording session this was a part of last month.

Instead of a Patreon, consider donating to our Extra Life charity drive. We are raising money for Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia. We raised $335 in 2019. So far in 2020 we have raised $420.

On Thursday nights around 7pm I stream old and new games until around 9pm. On Sunday nights I also stream around 9pm until I feel like stopping. Check out my Twitch page for more information and a tentative schedule.

We are also on Apple Podcasts, Google Play, and Stitcher. You can also download episodes from the Internet Archive.
