S3E19 - Andy Armer: Part 1 (11 October 2023)

Individual

Explicit warning! Your problem, not mine. The second individual of Americans Month is Andy Armer, who more people should talk about. This episode is stacked with canceled Sega Genesis games, plus a peek at Herb Alpert's work in the jazz/funk scene of the 80s. But when it comes to the actual released games, we're stepping on the Singing Mountain podcast's toes with Eternal Champions and Ecco: The Tides of Time, but bringing new insight on Ecco Jr., NFL '95, X-Perts and more!
