The thing I can’t quite work out in my head is how I’m so convinced I played it *before* then unless a friend brought it back from a US holiday. I did have a few import games for the GB myself but definitely not that 😂

Goddammit. Hell of a thing to find out just as I’m going to bed.
That just leaves the Rhythm Devils of the core members, and Tom Constanten and Bruce Hornsby left of the extended Grateful Dead. I am fairly gutted, and will probably be listening to that last run of D&Co. shows tomorrow.

Lovely to see this get a shoutout. Also a fun fact that we pulled up when doing our episode on the series is that it didn’t get a release in the UK until a few months after the N64 game. It didn’t do terribly well, which is a shame.

I wonder if the reason some people view vintage as a negative term is because at some point stuff we grew up with will be classified as ‘vintage’, just due to the passage of time. Retro allows the illusion of youth to be maintained… 😂

We’re a way off needing the final one, but Vintage? The use of a qualifier like that might be viable soon.
It’s an interesting discussion point though. ☺️

I’ve fallen into what we dub ‘Arinos Law’ via GameCenter CX, which is that ‘20 year’ qualifier. However I personally think that a better argument would be does there need to be additional terms. For example in fashion, furniture and the like, there’s Retro, then Vintage and then Antique.

I would have loved to have been in the production room when that was playing out…
