Episode 8 is now up....
The episode starts off with part 2 (of 3 parts) of a story that I started in episode 7. Part 3 will be in episode 9. If you're new to RetroBlast, it's recommended to hear episode 7 before listening to the story at the start of episode 8, otherwise it might not make a ton of sense.
After the opening story, I get into discussions on 3 Sega Genesis games. My final purchase of 1990 was Strider in mid to late December. In January 1991 I played two somewhat obscure Genesis releases. Sword of Sodan and Hard Drivin'.

calgon: Hey, sorry for not responding to your post earlier... Yeah, the story in Episode 7 was pretty crazy, no doubt. The story in Episode 8 isn't really that big of a deal, so you'll have to wait till Episode 9 for the true payoff. Sorry about that... The story in episode 8 is just trying to catch things up to the timeline. Episode 8 covers late December 1990 and all of January 1991, so I just wanted to catch listeners up on what was going on with the "drama" during that period of time. The real story will come with episode 9....
