The early ’90s were like the wild west for video game designers. Take a shot on whatever you think might work, and hope you survive the fray. The 16-bit era played host to a wide array of sleeper hits that would eventually become indie icons. A pair of present-grabbing alien rappers fit this bill perfectly, creating critical buzz in spite of a lack of monetary success, and garnering a notstalgic fanbase worthy of much larger franchises.
A key absence this weekend caused the ATFP crew to call an audible away from Haunting starring Polterguy, landing squarely on the Genesis sleeper Toejam & Earl! Got questions for the crew? Post them to the Ask The Hosts forum, or e-mail the hosts at afterthefact@geekerific.com!
