Jeremy Parish, Kevin Bunch, Stuart Gipp, and Diamond Feit marvel at the wonder of games like Super Mario Bros., discussing their timeless appeal, Bob Hoskins' portrayal of Mario, differing views on the video game Dizzy, and favorite TV shows and superheroes from 1988.

In 1998, Tim Schafer decided to leave LucasArts on a high note with Grim Fandango: the Day of the Dead-themed adventure game that leaves pointing-and-clicking in the past—for better or worse. This one-of-a-kind experience mixes the trappings of film noir with Mexican mythology, resulting in one of the greatest gaming backdrops of all time. But after 25 years and despite the endless acclaim, it's hard to ignore the fact that Grim can't help but stumble over itself in its desire to innovate. On this episode of Retronauts, join Bob Mackey, Kole Ross, and Everdraed as the crew lights their totally-safe-for-skeletons cigarettes and sinks into the moody, pulpy vibe of Grim Fandango. And if you'd like to order Bob's Day of the Tentacle book, head on over to Boss Fight Books! Retronauts is a completely fan-funded operation.
