My recent efforts to write an Analogue 3D review were derailed by the realization that the system's finer points require a better grasp of technology than I feel comfortable pretending to possess.

Y'all, I know two hours is a big time commitment, but this panel I arranged and hosted last month is one of the most important things I've ever done for video game history. The launch of the NES is a crazier story than most people realize, and my guests were extremely generous with their memories.
