Shownotes

Ever dreamt of travelling back in time to the golden era of video games? Ever wondered what games your parents raved about in their heyday? Well, you’re about to embark on a thrilling journey as we spin the wheel of time back to the 80s, 90s, and early 2000s, and revisit the classics with Antstream Arcade. This cloud service game has wowed us with its staggering roster of 1,400 titles, and we just can’t wait to share our experiences of playing in tournaments and beating the slayer's score. So buckle up as we go on a nostalgia-fueled ride!

Now, imagine this: You're a parent, trying to raise a child in a new culture, the challenges are aplenty and the journey is fraught with struggles. This is the premise of our second game for review, Vemba. The narrative-driven cooking game masterfully explores themes of parenting and cultural assimilation. Join us as we delve into the powerful social messages behind this game and how it resonates with parents around the world. Make no mistake, this is not just a game, but a strong social commentary.


Adding to the excitement, we put on our contemplative hats and delve into a lively discussion on the pros and cons of various gaming methods. Then in a fun turn, we imagine splurging on our favorite things if we were to hit the jackpot of a billion-dollar lotto. As we wrap things up, we explore the potential of reviving games on old consoles and the marketing strategies that developers may be targeting. Plus, get ready to have your minds blown as we discuss the exciting potential of a new Indiana Jones game! So grab a snack, sit back, and get ready for a gaming journey like no other!
