The episode explores the experience of PC gaming in the 1990s, focusing on shareware games.
Steam? Where we're going... we don't need Steam. Pc gaming in the nineties! It wasn't easy, it wasn't convenient, and it certainly wasn't for the impatient. But, it was the best times we ever had. Come listen to Andy take Zach through some of the games he played on his first PC. All of them were shareware games, the coolest way to get your game on back in the day! Somehow someway we survived long enough to make 30 episodes. Thanks for listening!
