In the 90s Sega fought the rental market with a radical new idea: stream video games directly to consumers. Rob and Pernell listen to music special to the Sega Channel, and the exclusive games brought to North America. The Sega Channel brought video games to consumers directly to their consoles through the cable television network. This was not only a revolution for gaming, it pioneered a whole new way to browse the internet: cable broadband. Enjoy these solid Genesis/Mega Drive tunes from the good-old days of Sega!

It's nearly Valentine's day! This usually means time for some romantic themed music and games.

Whether it's a smooth jam from Rob, or an aggressive banger from Pernell! One of the themes in this week's episode happens to be all the strange accessories for the Nintendo Game Boy.
