Episode 10 is now up...


Episode 10 starts off with a story about my discovery of an import game shop on Ventura Blvd. in North Hollywood back in the Spring of 1991. I was temporarily living with my brother in L.A. at the time, and I kind of accidentally stumbled upon this game import shop. I tell the story of what it was like not knowing too much about the import scene, and then randomly discovering this game store. It was slightly mind blowing for me when I first walked into the place. A whole new world of video games was opened up to me.

Later in the episode, I talk more in detail about the first two import games that I played. I rented a PC Engine converter for my TG-16 and a copy of Power League 3. (The newest baseball game in Japan at the time). I also ended up renting a Megadrive converter and the Megadrive version of Batman. At the time, Batman on the megadrive was a really big deal. (nobody had any idea that it would actually end up releasing in the USA).
