Ep. 97 - Abandoned Game Mechanics (ft. Matt and Eric)

This week, we’re unearthing some relics of the past - abandoned game mechanics! Join Aaron, Matt Storm (has a ton of podcasts), and Eric Gess (host of “The Unlockables”) as they dive into the crypts of video game history and exhume some gameplay mechanics that they miss and discuss some that they want to stay dead.
