Episode 24: Arcade Conversion Capers

Arcade conversions have always been a curious beast. Back in the day, the closest we'd get to playing the latest game for free would be the home ports by Publishers like US Gold or Ocean. Sometimes they fantastic, sometimes they were a bit meh, and sometimes you got Chase HQ.

Thanks for listening, and as always hope you enjoy the chat as much as we did!
