Smashing Bricks 50: The 7th Saga

About this episode

In this episode, the hosts discuss the classic JRPG The 7th Saga and its nostalgic value.

Hey Retro Gamers! On today's episode of Smashing Bricks we travel back to 1993 to gather the 7 runes and save the world in The 7th Saga on Super Nintendo. Smashing Bricks is a retro gaming podcast about revisiting classic video games together to see if they hold up to the rose tint of nostalgia. Join me, Eddie Inzauto, and Jake, host of Grinding with the Bois, as we spend hours grinding for levels in this time-traveling, 16-bit JRPG. (And don't think it's a coincidence that I saved Valentine's Day for this game that I've loved for over three decades.) Make sure you listen until the end to hear what the next game is and play through with us before the 14th of next month! (Just kidding, it was TBD at the time of recording, but it will officially be the 2000 game Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2 for the Sony PlayStation.) Smashing Bricks Bonus Round Episodes are now available to all Fire Flower tier (and higher) Patreon Patrons! These amazing episodes post on the 28th of each month, and I really want as many of you to hear them as possible, so I've made it easier to be a part of that audience!
