This week on the Retro League we’re joined by Chris aka Nekobun from We Talk Games! Together we advise people not to get involved with projects that they have nothing meaningful to contribute to. We tackle the grey areas of software piracy and the dangers of drinking beer while playing rare arcade games. We scratch the surface on 1-on-1 fighters for the Sega Saturn and find some pioneering polygonal projects and some wacky hidden gems in this episode of the Retro League!
