Episode notes

This week we are talking about the restes required reading list. We will be picking between one to three games from each kind of section. Each episode will focus on five years of video game history. These aren't our favorites, these aren't even necessarily the best. But they're the ones that if you want to understand and appreciate video games, you should give them a try.

The Resties Required Reading List returns! Our goal is to curate and contextualize a "must play" list of 25 games released between 1980 to 2020. This week, we've selected games from 1985-1989. Join us as we time travel to the premieres of mega-franchises like Mario, Zelda, Metroid, and Tetris. Let us know what you think of the series and your personal reading list at @thebestiespod on Twitter.

Get the full list of games (and other stuff) discussed at www.besties.fan. Want more episodes? Join us at patreon.com/thebesties for three bonus episodes each month!
