Ep. 98: The Sacred Pools

Dylan Mansfield, gaming historian and archivist, joins the show to share an odd piece of Sega history from his recent article Saving Sacred Pools: Sega’s Million Dollar Adult Game (gamingalexandria.com/wp/2022/10/sacred-pools). This mid 90’s FMV game with adult themes was, until recently, considered lost. In this episode: we want to know why crappy games are crappy; once again, we get sucked into doing research live on the air; Frank doesn’t have much time left to do his work; Kelsey likes to “...well, actually…”; and a bit of smack talk.
