Do the games we played as children affect us as we became older? Are we informed by the classics from our youth or are we held back by them? Do our tastes ever change that dramatically? Do we still love the games we played for hours on end before we grew up into the people we are today? InRetroSpect’s Peter Willington decides to find out in Arc 3 of Pause:Continue.
This month he’s joined by Mike Mason who brings along Bub and Bob for the ride, as they discuss Mike’s favourite childhood game: Bubble Bobble. They talk about both console and home PC gaming, some of his earliest memories of video games, and shares some pro tips on the title.
