About this episode

The episode discusses notable video game releases from the year 1997.

1997 was a pretty crazy year, for being so far back. Lots of strong releases on the various systems out around this time. Even if we don't have exact dates for some of these due to the nature of tracking that information from so long ago, we're going to give it our best shot and talk about a bunch of cool and not-so-cool video games released in the year 1997.
