The Back Page: A Video Games Podcast

The four-person draft is back! Returning guests Ashley Day and Dave Scarborough fight Samuel and Matthew for the best picks across two beloved Nintendo consoles. And this time, Dave is on the booze (but for your sanity, we cut 30 minutes of drunken monologues out). Vote for the winner in the Discord's Announcements channel.

This week's music is from The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time soundtrack by Koji Kondo.
