Spectrum Days - games we played

Spectrum Days - games we played

By Chris Head, Phil Head, Jon Head

The podcast where we ruin our childhood memories of games we used to play.


Join Phil and Chris as we take look at the video games we played as kids back in the late eighties and nineties. In each episode we start by talking about a game from memory - then we play it and let you know what we think today. Will we ruin our childhood memories each episode?


Call it retro, or call it nostalgia, these are the games that shaped our lives.


If you have any suggestions for games you would like us to cover or any general comments, contact us on: hello@spectrumdays.com
