ARGcast #37: Walking the Plague Road with Conrad Zimmerman
Along with talking about Plague Road, Conrad also gets into working with the incomparable Jim Sterling, the reason why he can’t play football games, and his experience with Wally Bear and The NO! Gang. You won’t say no to this!
Afterwards we explore the backstory behind one of gaming’s biggest blunders; the Action 52 game cartridge. Learn how the very idea of the game was conceived, and what the deal is with Cheetahmen. Don’t run off before hearing that story!
