This was a very special episode. 1997 had some absolute bangers. The absolute definition of “the good old days”. Highly recommended listen!

It's explained on the episode. Samuel has still only played 5 games from 2019.
Joe, and, I cannot stress this enough, Hollingworth@whatifbutthen.bsky.social · 2w agoSaving this for a long drive - giant thanks, giant men! Did I miss the memo on the 'Best Games of 2019' episode?
This one has it all: me not quite remembering games, me not quite remembering music, me not quite remembering films... and a pretty solid pitch for a new Mr Bean film.

Inspired to create my own Eventide Island Discs chart after listening to the great @backpagepod.bsky.social XL episode! Five video game tracks and five non-video game tracks 🙏
We didn't run it as a poll in the end but the answer is clearly Samuel.
Mike!@beggbiee.bsky.social · 3w agoPlease reveal the results of the "who is more despicable" poll in the next regular episode 🙏
Great episode lads. Really enjoyed these picks. Growing up with the Mega Drive, music has always been a big part of games for me. A good soundtrack makes a world of difference. Digging Sam's PS2 track - there's something about "PS2 Core" that really gets me.
