<p>This week, we go all the way back to July 15th, 1983 — the day Nintendo released the Famicom in Japan and quietly kicked off the home console industry as we know it. From there, we jump forward to a smuggler who finds out he used to be someone else entirely, a submarine crew trapped with something in the water that shouldn&#39;t be there, a monkey-hunting sequel, a summoner&#39;s pilgrimage across a dying world, and a samurai&#39;s last stand on an island he can&#39;t save the old way.Plus three stories worth slowing down for: the recall that almost sank Nintendo before it started, the black-cartridge outlaws who tried to break its lock and got buried for it, and two off-duty doctors who started a game studio out of pure boredom with medicine.🎨 Artwork by MizTink: https://www.twitch.tv/miztink🎵 Music by Shane Mandani — follow him on Twitch: https://www.twitch.tv/grandewarlock and Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/artist/3Jy9J5vNVFB3BuPUV0yYis✍️ Written, produced, and hosted by Doug Coleman https://www.twitch.tv/therobustoneBe sure to save your game, nerds.
