Coming Up: ATFP Ep. 23

In 1993, the NES was not just at the end of it’s life cycle, it’s big brother was sitting on it giving it a noogie. While the SNES was hitting its stride with releases like Starfox, Secret of Mana, and Super Mario All-Stars, Nintendo released a late-cycle NES cute-fest Kirby’s Adventure, a sequel to a Game Boy game released the year prior.

Coming Up: ATFP Ep. 21

Before Electronic Arts was the videogame industry equivalent of the mythical Kraken, they occasionally pulled together one of those odd-bird video games that no one knows about… but someone loves. In the early 90’s, the Genesis played host to a leather-clad, flat-top wearing, green skinned ghost whose entire purpose in death was to scare the living crap out of the sleazy Sardini family.

After delaying for one episode, the crew takes on the unclassifiable EA Genesis opus, Haunting starting Polterguy! Got questions for the crew? Post them to the Ask The Hosts forum, or e-mail the hosts at afterthefact@geekerific.com!
