Runtime: 58 Minutes

We look back at video games throughout the 1980s and 1990s featuring famous musicians or musical acts. Starting with Journey Escape, released for the Atari 2600 in 1982, our musical journey takes us through acts featuring Journey, the Thompson Twins, Frankie Goes to Hollywood, Paul McCartney, Michael Jackson, Kris Kross, Marky Mark and the Funky Bunch, Aerosmith, the Wu-Tang clan and more. We also spend time talking about what made arcades special back in the day. Join us for this rhytmically-inclined trip down Memory Card Lane.
